LIE PUBLIC LANDS.

Formerly the entire County OF Aroos-
took was the property OF Maine and Mas
sachusetts, but for one purpose and an
other these lands have been parted with,
until there are now no public lands.
Some OF it has been sold st very low
price for numbering purposes; some has
been granted 10 institutions OF Learning
and this too has fallen into the hands OF
the lumber kings. and in 1868 the Legis-
lature foolishly granted nearly all the
rest 10 aid in building railway TO st.
Johns which is very little if any benefit

Pressure Isle and Caribou, through the
heart of the county, would have remun-
rated the STATE ior The loss of its broad
dom ain, but as it is, the conclusion is in
evitable. that the land was fooled away.
There was a condition attached TO the
grant of zoo, 900 acres of this land, that
when the State should demand it, it
should be lotted out and put into the
market, at price not exceeding one dol
lar per acre. These lands are now wanted
tor settlement, and the State cannot make
the demand too quickly. Three million
acres of Aroostook lands are in the hands
