All the bills passed by the Legislature
have become laws save twenty which the
Governor declined to sign. The following is
the list, with the reasons for pocket veto

st. Cloud & Blue Earth Valley Railway COM
pany.''
This act grants what the State does not
possess, prior grants having long ago disposed
of all swamp lands in possession or prospec-
tive. Last years vetoes of swamp land
grants explained fully that the act of 1865,
which granted to the soldiers orphans all
the unappropriated swamp lands, left no
property of this kind to dispose of.
8. F. 1s9. s'ro repeal chapter 1879 of the
general la,rs of 1872, relating to the compensa-
pleas court of Ramsey county

unconstitutional.

destruction of wolves in the counties of Vase
ca, Steele Mower, Freeborn. Faribault, Lie
Sueur, Rice and Scott"

pay additional bounties for killing wolves

general laws of 1872, and are therefore use
less legislation.
