1t has been decided to ask our County
Commissioners to assist, by an appropria-
ton, in defraying the expense of publish
ing the immigration document. There is
no question but that We must make an eff
fort to have all the vacant lands in this
county occupied. To do this, there is no
surer or more feasible plan than the one
proposed. If we wish to secure portion
of the large immigration that will come to
this State in the -pring, we must lose no
time. There is no surer way to attract
notice than by advertising, we mean by
this, the issuing of a pamphlet as proposed
by the Board of Trade, the pamphlet to
contain description of the towns and
county, and the many advantages offered,
both to the farmer and the capitalist. A
few dollars spent in this direction would
return four-fold indeed no figures could
give any idea of its value to both county
and towns. Our neighbors at Hancock and
! Donnelly are equally interested iu this mat
ter, they will of course wan. to be repre-.
sented and have place in the pamphlet,
and ii is very essential that they should be

expense we do not doubt. We hope the

to be derived. and if go. do not doubt hu
that they will be as liberal as in their Judge

In two Or three days after the reverse of
the British forces in Africa, the English
government had fifteen first-class steam
ships ready to transport their troops and

on a short notice to draw the finest and

service is ended the ships will resume
their places in the different lines They in

The Pioneer Press characterises bill
introduced by Senator A. E Rice as
"Rlce's Steal" The till, which has pass
ed the Senate, aIeniates the States interest
in ten sections of land in Kandiyohi Coun-
ty. and appropriates the amount received
from the sail of said lands, for the pur-
pose of building high school at Willmar.
The p P. further says:
This action of the Senate is unlawful.
as the legislature has no power to ALLEVIATE
these lands from the object to which they
were appropriated by the act of congress
authorizing state government. That act
rtcltes i'll section b, that ten entire sec
tiOns of land, to be selected by the
governor of the state, in legal subdi-
visions, shall be granted to the state for
the purpose of completing the public build
lngs. or for the erection of Others at the
seat of government, under the direction of
the iegis !atuIe thereof" This clause in
the nabling act fixes the definite and spe-
cific object to which these lands shall be
appropriated and in which every tax pay
er IN the state has a common and equal in
terest. Now it is the purpose of those in
terested in RiCe's scheme, to memorialize
congress to change the enabling act so
that this loca; steal may become law.
But as the proposition contained in the
enabling act became a part of the consti-
tuition of the state, it is doubtful whether
it would not require an amendment to the
constitution itself to perfect Senator R:ce's
scheme. But whether this be true or not,
what ought to be done is to protect the in
tcrest of the state in these most valuable
lands, and hold them firmly for the pur-
pose for which they were originally grant
