Returned home three days ago from
my trip to Handoyer, OAK. on my
return made call in slnie Of the
Minnesota townships $ ,ch as Ar
tichoke. Medina, Bigstone and towns
of Stevens and Synnes in Stevens
county. Hegbert, in Swift county.
There 81 emed to he more or less ex-
element over the SO callad II. II. In
deaneiy lands of the st. Paul NJ. &
NJ. r. Il. Company than in any other
part ever Travelled. Here ny several
letters written by the state authority
gave the settlers TO understand that
The II, r.. company has not, up 10
August Goth, received deeds for any
of the lands patented TO said X. Il.
company on March It'll, 1889. The
same is from good authority which
will be published in TIE Sun next
week, and l say good and faithful
work byandlhrough responsibleagents
well backed by the authority of the
headquarters of the State of Mime
sofa and the VIII of God. l say not a
foot of those. lands settled and I'M
proved with their proper applications
to the government VIII never go in
the hands of the r. r. Co., nor do |
think that the company will make
any effort to fight the settlers, know.
ing that it is the settlers that support
their roads and government. but let
the law be a law, land for the land
less, homes for the homeless, ReAt
make law 10 assess all rail road
lands and in III years the company
will be SO id poor that they can't
buy fuel to run their engines with.
l say stay on your lands the same as
did; l had a worse case than any
| other on record on sec. 35 in the 10
mile r. r. limit, got it S years ago on
homestead. The II. r. Co.. did not
show fight nor do think they will, as
there is sufciant lands, enough in
| Minnesota that will cover all losses
that the Il. Il. Co., may have lost
| within the 10 mile limits. Parties
wish ng lands at low prices should
secure the right of the first applicants
| then comes new one thus StaVlng
the matter off until some honest
| Congressman WOULD enforse law
giving the settlers their claims. That
law will come and must, if not it is
the peoples fault;in the III st of cases
the settlers have been mislead 10y
business men and clerks of court, and
when the settler says to clerk OF
court reside OH an Indemnity Land
section, AND came here TO make filing
the clerk and clerks reply, you stay
there, lh, II don't SQuander your $lO.to
attorneys or agents, the day will come
when YOU will get The land, that Is
one way they viii get il, to buy ii
from the Il. Il. Co., which is proof
of i'll the town of Stevens. remember
that no lands properly applied for and
IL pe;tleI as per rules and regulations
will never go to any corporation unit
il has had Its proper course, If you
don't ask the government forthe lano
how are you To expect to get it.
Thus the settlers understand how
many opponents they have to fghl
when they ask the government It
turn these lands over to them, If they
dent do. 1t is not the Il. Il. Co.
but their Agents, Bankers, Rea
Estate Agents, Clerks of Court, Loea
Land offices. And why is the r. r
agent against the settlers getting
lands from the government? because
they get no comission; why is the
lankt the same, cant lend his money
TO buy land with; What about thu
real estate agent, cant sell lands a!
long as settlers are getting just a!
good land for nothing; what abou
clerks of court, Gait get nickel OH
; of tile lands handled by authorized
US. land agents, what about til
local land office, does not get enough
to pay postage on each application
we don't blame the above for dlscur
