will get not less than 5000 900 acres OF land I'M
der the general laws Of the State, which grant so
many sections of land per mile for building rail
WAYS and canals. 1t is doubtful, however, if the
canal will get any grant of land, for the reason
that there is none along its line. One of the di-
rectors said to-day that the company would be
permitted to select land to the amount TO which
it is entitled in any part of the State There Is
reason for believing this is mistake. Governor
