my trip to Handover, OAK. on my
return made u call in slme Of the
Minnesota townships su:h as Ar
tichoke, Medina, Bigstoae and towns
of Stevens and Synnes in Stevens
county. Hegbert, in Swift county.
There $, emed to he more or less ex-
element over the So callad Il. Il. In
demnety lands of the st. Paul NJ. &
NJ. r. Il. Company than in any other
part ever travelled. Here ny several
letters written 10y the state authority
gave the settlers TO understand that
the II. Il. company has not, up 10
August Goth, received deeds for any
Of the lands patented to said Il. Il.
company on March eth, 1889. The
same is from good authority which
viii be published in THE Sun next
week, and l say good and faithful
work byandlhrough responsibleagents
we'll backed by the authority of the
Headquarters of the State of Mime
sula and the Will of God. l say not IL
foot of those lands settled and I'M
proved with their proper applications
to the government Will never so in
the hands of the r. II. Co., nor do l
think that the company will make
any effort to fight the settlers, know
A
ing that it is the settlers that support
their roads and government. but let
the law be law, land for the land
less, homes for the homeless, neAt
make II law 10 assess all rail road
lands and in IL years the company
will be SO id poor that they can, t
buy fuel to run their engines with.
| say stay on your lands the same as
| did; had a worse case than any
other on record on sec. IS in the 10
mile Il. r. limit, got it years ago on
homestead. The Il. r. Co., did not
show fight nor do l think they will, as
there is sufciant lands, enough i'll
Minnesota that will cover all losses
that the Il. Il. Co., may have lost
within tile 10 mile limits. Parties
wish NJ lands ut low prices should
secure the right of the first applicants
! then comes Il new one thus Shaving
the matter eff until some honest
| Congressman would enfOrSe law
5INIng the settlers their claims. That
! law will come and must, if not it is
the peoples fault;in the III Dst of cases
! the SttlItrS have been miSleaQ by
! business men and clerks of court, ard
when the settler says to clerk OF
court l reside Oil an Indemnity Land
section, and came here 10 make filing
! Tile c.tik and clerks reply. you stay
there, III, II don >QuamGer your $lO.tO
attorneys or agents, the day will come
/ W hen you Will get The land, that is
one way they wild get it, to buy 1t
from the Il. Il. Co., which is Il proof
ct in the town OF Stevens remember
that no lands properly applied for and
a. pealel us Fer rules and regulations
Will never go to amy corporation until
il has had Its proper course, if you
don't ask the government forthe land
how are you to expect to get it.
/ Thus the settlers understand how
many opponents they have to fight
when they ask the government to
turn these lands over to them, If they
dent l DO. 1t is not the Il. Il. Co.,
but their Agents, Bankers, Real
Estate Agents, Clerks Of Court, Local
Land offices. Aid why is the r. r.
agent against the settlers getting
lands from the government? because
they get no cOmissiOn; why is the
anNtr the same, can't lend his money
to buy land with; What about the
real estate agent, cant sell lands as
long us settlers are getting just as
good land for nothing; what about
clerks of court, caEt get nickel Out
of tile lands handled by authorized
U. s. land agents, what about tie
local land office, does not get euougl
to pay postage on each application
we don blame the above for dlscur
aging settlers. l have Il host of gov
eminent letters ard will let you al
see them free Of charge as we'll as al
other communications don't take my
advice or any other agent but read fOl
yourself, cOmon law will teach any
person that under the present con-
ditioE of the lands. You must frs
make your application through sucl
authorized agent or attorney wht
may be prepared to apply, appeal anC
anything else that might be wanted
10 establish right TO your claim
For further refeIance, write or appl!
