sided. In 1856 Congress made grant to aid
in the building of two railroads. The roads
were never built and the land was finally
sold The sales made up TO 1880 amounted
to nearly 100000 acres. Recently
the Secretary of the Interior made
decision to the effect that lands
which have at any time been withd. avn
from the market by reason of railroad f.
grants cannot afterward be sold at Sl.25
per acre until first put up at public auction.
1t is said that the practice of the Land De-
partmeut has been to restore such lands
without public auction, and that most tracts
have been restored and subsequently sold.
Thus the Secretarys decision is said to en-
danger titles in every State where there have
been railroad grants. A committee, with
f. b. Stockbridge, of Kalamazoo, as Chair
man, was appointed to look after their inter
/ ests when the bill comes up before Con-
/ gress this winter. - Chicago Herald.
