On Monday Mr.. Wood, accompanied
by l. p. Durfee, drove out to view the

Bloom and Seward townships. They
returned Tuesday evening. and during
brief call from Mr.. Wood We learned
that lie was much pleased with the
lands especially IL Seward and that his
report to the company will be favor
able.
Tie lands of course are all railroad
lands and if the purchase is made, the
sale will be the largest made except the
one to the Close Bros.
This is more good news, and at the
rate the railroad lands are now going
they will soon be all sold and on the
tax list, and all the vexed questions
growing out of the holding of these
lands Ivy q Railroad Land company will
he solved.
The demand for these lands since
they came into the market again by the
decision of the suit between the South
ern Minnesota and the Sioux City &
St. Paul companies, has been unpre-

! Co., the agents at this place, have sold
$4,000 to $4,000 worth during the
last few months, all for casl, and nearly
ill in Worthington township. In this
township they are about all sold. Next

mon activity in railroad lands as we'll
as in rail- DAD building in this county.
