The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1890-12-27

A Washington special says: The confir-
nation of lands to railroad companies is
quite an absorbing topic in those commu-
mites where benefits will accrue if this
much vexed question could be settled.
About a year ago Senator Casey endeavored
to have the administration confirm the in
demnity lands in North Dakota, so that
they might be placed upon the assessment
rolls and help pay the expenses of the
state, county, town and school districts.
1t is estimatsd that it would make about
$4,000 difference in the revenue of the
state if these lands should be made taxable.
A decision rendered by Judge Field, of
the United States supreme court, in the
case of Price county VS.. the Wisconsin
Central Railroad company, it was held that
all lands within the granted limits are tax
able upon the filing of map of definite
location. Within the regular grant along
the Northern Pacific in North Dakota this
has been done, but there are still over 2,
100000 acres of indemnity selections which
are held up awaiting the announcement of
a policy by the administration. If the
grants are confirmed to the road be fore
April the lands will be placed on the tax
lists and will yield large revenue !, the
state, but if the matter is not settled until
later the large amount stated will be lost.
ALI of these facts have been laid before
the interior department and the president,
and it is possible that some action may be
taken before it is too late for tho state of
North Dakota to receive the benefits which
it would be entitled to. A large part of
these indemnity lands have been sold to
private parties, and these parties are en-
abled to hold and enjoy the benefits of
their holdings without contributing to the
expenses of the state or county and school
districts where they are located.

Red River ShylockS.

The Grand Forks people have organized
a Worlds Fair State Board, mainly for the
purpose of influencing legislation this
winter to secure an appropriation of $780,,
600 to enable the Red river valley to ad
vertise itself at the Worlds Fair in 1892.
They have given the organization a big
name, and arranged to have every organ
ized county represented on the state board
of directors. They want $4,000 to enable
the organization to arrange an exhibit of
North Dakota products at the great inter
national fair, but as the Grand Forks
schemers imagine that the six counties in
the Red river valley constitute about all
there is of North Dakota, it is fair to pre-
sumo that the $4,000, if obtained, will be
expended solely for the purpose of adver-
tising the Red river valley-especially
Grand Forks. Everybody knows that
during the past two OR three years North
Dakota has produced nothing of special
interest in the shape of either vegetables
or cereals; she has no woolen factory, no
sugar manufactory, no paper mill, and no
manufacturing establishment of any other
kind, and therefore can make no exhibit
of anything worthy of note which has been
produced within the state. And it is not
likely that her condition in these things
will materially change within the next two
years. This being true, we will ask what
special product of North Dakota exists
which these jealous boomers desire to ex-
hibity The fact is, few real estate deal
ers and political buns and deadbeats of
Grand Forks and Fargo want to spend the
season in Chicago and have an easy time
of it at the expense of the state The state
of Vermont, which is clear of debt and
has immense wealth, appropriated only
$1,000 for her exhibit, but here comes the
Shylocks of Grand Forks to ask the state
of North Dakota, with an already depleted
treasury, to appropriate FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS for them to pocket and bum away
in advertising the "Red river valley" alias
Grand Forks. These same Shylocks are
opposed to Hansbrough's bill asking gov
ernment aid for the drouth-stricken farm
ers of the state, but they rub the palms of
their hands and grin satisfactorily as they
think of the excellent scheme they have
conceived to tap the state treasury for
$4,000 which these same poor farmers
must help to pay. If they have produced
so much wealth in grain, ETC., as they boast
of, and wish to advertise their valley, let
them do it at their own expense. For
the peoples sake, save the state from the
clutches of these would be state boomers.

A QUARANTINE STATION.
Fisherman's Island To be Condemned fos
Its Establishment.

Under the authority Of the United states
Government party will 90 down to "Fish-
erman's Island" Wednesday afternoon
next to condemn that property for the pur-
pose Of establishing quarantine station
i'm accordance with an act Of Congress ap-
proved August /. ISIS.
Those who will 20 are eX-Judgc Thomas

following who have been appointed apprais-
ers of the property: Major Cook Of Norfolk,
and Major X. {. selden. Messrs. j. Thomp-

Point via the Chesapeake aud Ohio road.
There they will take the Government boat
for the island. which lies OIL the point Of
Cape Charles, between the Atlantic ocean
and the Chesapeake bay, in tue Eastern
district Of West Virginia.
The genial owners of the property were
General Henry 4. Wise, W. ii. Parker ana
W. r. Thomas, the heirs Of whom now
amount to more than one hundred. The
proceeding for condemnation was instituted
because the United states and the heirs
have failed to agree upon what
would be fair compensation for
the property. some time ago a
suit was instituted by \. Y. Z. Garnett
and wife, against Il. \. Wise and others,
but this failed TO accomplish the purpose
since a bona fide title TO the property could
not be obtained. Since then price of $1,000
have been virtually agreed upon, hut in
order TO secure the proper title the United
states Will condemn the property.

however for the honor. as the FultOns in
every play were on their mettle.
1t was close game-nine 10 eight-and
one yersed in baseball lore can readily see
how the ups and downs Of two equal teams
made the interest exciting and unusual.
Both Of the batteries did splendid work,
the only deficiency being that often they
had to play with wet balls. The balls pre-
viously had been sent into the waters OF the

A NEW VIADUCT.
Probability of its Erection Over the
Broad street Bottom.

Mr.. Fisher, manager of the Richmond
Railway and Electric Company, returned
o. the city from New York Yesterday, and
when asked by a reporter about the extern
sion of his line. he said: I've are going To
extend the railways in the city in several
ways. but more particularly the Broad
street line east and west, which We
have an application for before the
Council. We are using every 81
fort to furnish Richmond with rapid
transit, and if she will stick by us we
will ostcertainly succeed. OF course we
can't take any steps towards spreading out
until the Council gives us permission.
When this is done we will extend the
Broad-street line west TO the En-
position grounds, and east 10 Church Hill.
We will get over that seventeenth
street bottom somehow. The most probable
method is the yiaduct plan from about
Twelfth street TO Twenty-third or Twenty
fourth. This we hope TO be able to do, but
IL has not reached any tangible shape as
vet. IL will be big thing for Richmond,
but we are determined to give you good
street-car service, and are sparing neither
money or labor TO accomplish it,
FiFTH-sTREEr NIADUCT.
Further in the conversation, Mr.. Fisher
stated that he had consulted the NOrthsidc
Land and Improvement Company in refer
ence to extending the fifih-street line
across their yiadu@t 10 their Chestnut
Hill" property. lie also stated that in
short time the new street car connection
with Manchester would be completed, and
that system would be so complete that Man
chesterians could come from their city 10
Richmond and 20 all over the city for five
cents. The only obstacle in the way of this

now that this will be satisfactorily ar
ranged. A considerable portion of the
