Correspondence of the Herald
A Grange Organic I'd at Ebenez2r
Church, Clifton.

EDIToR HERALD - In common
with many farmers 10 this section I
am pleased to notice that the Herald
urges the organization of Oranges of
he Patrons of Husbandry. If any
class Of people are oppressed by the
manufacture & and other monopolies
it is certainly the farmers, aud am
sorry to confess that no class allow
themselves to be SO humbugged ,trod
and sait upon by travelling men in
the way Of specular ors, bogus ma
chine and insurance agents, quack
doctors and confidence operators OF
diff rent kinds.
To prevent all this, and for mutual
benefit, tho farmers 0! this section
have long considered the propriety
and necessity of organizing them
selves into protective union. A
considerable number met 1T Ebenez.
or church last night for this purpose,
and took initiative steps toward the
organization of Grange of the Pat.
rons of Husbandry.
Hon. Joseph Allen was elected
chairman and Charles Watson, sec.
rotary. The chairman stated the
object of the meeting and dwelt for
some tin on the advantages TO be
deaived by the farmers organizing
into Oranges Mr.. Wells, Of Wash-
burn followed with some well timed
remarks on the work and benefits az
we'll as the drawbacks of organized
bodies generally.
Mr.. Williams, of Lima, read cir
cular sent to him by the mauuiact-
urer of certain Seeders and Grain
Drills, stating that he could sell the
farmers direct on advantageous
terms. That instead of having to
pay agents from so to SIS dollars for
machine, they could be shipped dl.
rect from the factory at $50 each,
showing a saving Of over one-lhiI
TO the farmer. John Watson,
Clifton, showed there could be sa
ing of nearly one-half 10 purchasin
sewing machines from the manufad
turer instead OF agent. John Mcleod
of Lima, also spoke upon tbis su
Ject of direct purchase from man
tacturers. Mahlon + woett,
Iowa, stated that his son ia lou
wrote him that "members OF Gran
es in that part could buy machiueu
as well as other goods, cheaper tn
outsiders"
On motion that the sense of ID
meeting be obtained, forty nam
Qncluding Is ladies)-mostly cid
lEeGs of south western Clifton--were
subscribed pledging TO organize
Grange as soon as the proper author
iIy was received from the State
Grange of the order. To this On / |

History of the st. Croix Land Grant

Madison Correspondence Of the Newsl
In the year 1856, about as the leg
ialature was TO adjourn, 10 tho spring,
Congress made an immense donation
of lands TO the states for railroad
purposes. Wisconsin got grant to
aid in constructing roads from Fond
du Lac northward TO Lake Superior,
and from Madison or Columbus, via
Portage City to the lake or river ST
CroiX, and thence to the head of
Lake Superior. At a special session
of the Legislature, afterwards held in
lhs; year, the Fond ia Lac TO Lake
Superior grant was given to the
Chicago and North western Railroad,
through the manipulations of Perry
IL Smith, then . member of he Wis
consin Senate, and resident of Ap.
pleton. The other grant was given
to the Milwaukee and La Crosse Rail
road Company, then under the man.
agement Of Byron Kilbourn. But
the crash of 1857 came on the bot
tom fell out of Western credits; rail-
road building was almost suspended,
or proceeded with the greatest diff
fcul.y and very slowly The Nil
waukee and La Crosse Railroad was
built from Portage City to Tomah,
4ixty-one miles only, on the land
grant line for which the company re.
ceived the lands granted. There
they left the land giant line and built
out 10 La Crosse. Some years after
ward the romah and Lake st. CrOix
Railroad was chartered. The lands
had become exceedingly valuable,
and parties were hunting up these
old land grants. wherever they ex-
listed, end building the roads tor the
sake Of the lands. This line Of road
was built, and is now called the West
Wisconsin. 1t runs in connection
with the Madison and Baraboo branch
of the Chicago and Northwestern
Raiiroad; the junction being at Elroy,
near the border Of Sank and Monroe
counties, and it is merely q Chicago
feeder. Its principal owners are A.
Baldwin and Jacob Humbird. They
nave received their lands, which are
very valuable. Some OF them arc
covered with pine and are worth $50
an acre. o hers are held at from Sc
to $40 and SIS an acre. TIE state
has exempted these lands from tax
alton until 1884. The ST. Croix
grant, or that portion granted 70
build the road from the lake or river
| ST. Crolx, near its mouth, u the head
OF Lake Superior, was gobbled up by
company which threw up o few
miles Of embaukment, and stripped q
great deal Of the timber from IT, But,
with the consent of the Secretary OF
he Interior, or possibly Of Congress,
the state puts an agent on it, who
has warned off trespassers and collect.
ed some 100000 from parties who
had cut timber. This sum is IN the
state treasury. The lime for build
ing the road expired in 1868 that is
in the act Of Congress granting the
land, it was provided tina if the road
was not completed by 1868 the land
| should revert TO the general Govern
ment. All the acts and charters
granting this land TO any railroad
company have been repealed.
