The latest attempted swiudo III a bill now
pending before Congross, which grauts to pri-
vate corporation 1000 acres Of pine lands In
Minnesota, tho sa,no to be sold at the rate OF
s1.25 per aero to actual Rottloru, the proceeds
to be applied to tho improvement Of tho naylga-

this bill was introduced originally in moro ill.,
nocent form, and TINT In Mr.. Pomoroy's Com
lnittoo It WAS changed to ita proaent shape. Tho
bill ia without any restrictions, and is practically
nothing but o diroct grant Of these lands to

bill having reached Minnesota, romonstrnncos
arc pouring in from all parts Of tho state, and
1t is possible that Pomoroya bill will to exposed

It is proposed to permit robbery OF m immenao
