A subscriber writes us for inform alton
in regard to the Des Moines River Land
Grant, and the following answers are
gwen in reply to his questions
| The grant was made on the Sth day
Of August, 1916, by congress to the state
Of Iowa and consisted OF one half of the
unsold public land lying in strip ten
miles wide, adjacent to tie Des MOines
river. to he selected in odd numbered
sections, to aid IN the Improvement of the
navigation Of the river TO the Rarcoon
Forks thereof
,, Controversy over the title to q
certain portion of the lands. grew out of
an apparent misunderstanding us to the
extent OF the grant by the state of Iowa,
it claiming more Than congress intended
The supreme court in 1860 authOrita>
lively settled the matter and diminished
the extent nt the grant to n much less
- quantity than had been insisted upon
rendering invalid the titles of parties who
held, under the territory OF state OF
Iowa, lands beyond the limit of the gran
fixed by the decision Of the court. IL
1862 congress passed an act, however
transferring To the state OF Iowa all tbs
title then retained BY the United States tc
the lands within the larger limits which
had been claimed, and then held by bona
tide purchasers from the state
3. A bill to reclaim that portion Of
the lands which were said to have beeI
improperly certified to the state of Iowa
was first introduced in the FOrtyvthirC
congress by Jackson Orr, a republican
representative from Iowa
4. The bill passed both houses of con
gress at the Forty -ninth session, but wa
returned by President Cleveland withou
his approval
,. His reasons for vetOing it wer
that the United States had SURRENDERED
all right and interest in the lands by it
act of 1862, and that the supreme cour
had passed upon the question and reCog
nzed the land as the property of low
according to the terms of said grant.
