is for the building of a State wagon
road from Banner to Deadwood,
Sheep Mountain, Cape Horn and
down the Middle fork of the Salmon

are ribbed with mineral lodges all
along the route. In fact commencing
with the foot hills near Boise City
there is not a mile Of the whole dis

country can have too many roads.
The lack of them has been the great

\ SPECIAL to the Statesman says
the committee on mines and mining
on the 9Th gave an Informal hearing
to Representative Sweet on the ques-
ton of settling the dispute between
the Northern Pacific road and the
miners regarding mineral lands. The
committee instructed Representative
Carter Of Montana to report fayorably
on his bill, which refers to a commits
sion-the decision of what is Gland,
mineral in character" in the mean
ing of the law.
Mr.. Sweet is undecided to seek TO
amend this bill or introduce and try
to pass a bill relating to Idaho and
defining such lands as are mountain
Gus and known to contain minerals,
as mineral lands, substantially as de-
cided by Secretary Teller.
Mr.. Sweet made an exhaustive
statement of the case to the commits

A LAND CASE DECIDED.

The Supreme Court has rendered a
decision in the suit of Mr.. and Mrs.
II. 2. Ward against the st. Paul and
Sioux City railroad company, sustain
ing the decision Of the district court.
The case has been before the courts
for some time and is quite interest
ing. as the plaintiff wished to make a
test case concerning title to land.
Hon. Gordon E. Cole, of Faribault.
and E. P. Freeman, of this city, repre-
sented the plaintiff. The decision is
as follows: y
Under the congressional land grant
act OF March 3, 1857, the line or route
of the plaintiffs railway could only
become definitely fixed so as to pre-
vent presumption and homestead
rights from attaching to particular
tracts by filing the map of such line
or route with the Secretary of the In
terror.

is very large amount of money, being
equivalent to nearly S130 for every
man, woman and child in the state.

would considerably swell the amount.
But if the farmers of these three
states shall realize s16O,OO0,000 from
the products of their farms this year,
they will be in very prosperous con-
dition: and that amount of money
poured into all the channels of circu-

DEATH OF AN OLD SETTLER.

The death of Frank Krimm, of Gar
den City, occurred last Saturday af-
ternoon at o'clock. Mr.. Krimm had
been sick for the last four or five
years, but was able to be around at
times until this last week, when he
was taken very sick and it was known
he could not live long. Mr. Krimm
had resided in Garden City nearly
thirty years. He was a Frenchman by
birth, and was born and educated in
Paris, France. He was mutually very
smart in his younger days, and spoke
five different languages. He served
five years in the Mexican war, then
came to Iowa and married Miss Julia
Downey, then moved to Garden City,
and had lived here ever since. He
was honest, upright in his dealings,
kind and loving husband and father
and was a man that thought "a great
deal Of his family. He was well and
faYOrably known throughout the state
and at the time Of his death was 81
years old. He leaves a loving wife
and three grown up children to mourn
his loss: Mrs. Thomas McIves. Miss
Lilly and Frank Kimm, who were all
here to attend the funeral, which
took place Monday morning at the
German Catholic church at Mankato,
and was attended by large concourse
of friends. They have the sympathy
OF their many friends in their sad
affection.

A FARMER SPEAKS.
EIitOr Free Prsss.

Eiitor Free Press:
I think the Lake Crystal Union
must have misunderstood your article
on the question of calling the legisla-
ture together in extra session to make
an additional appropriation for the
Worlds Fair As / understood the
matter it was to be done only on the
condition that the members of both
houses would consent to serve without
mileage or per diem, in which case
there would be no cost to the state.
Possibly | may be mistaken, but l
think not. Very many of the MEM
bers have already signified their will
ness TO do so, and if called during the
state fair it would involve no extra
expense to any member attending and
that would doubtless include nearly
or quite all, and the time necessary to
transact the business required ought
not to interfere seriously with their
attendance on the fair.
There seems to be no difference
among farmers as to the inadequate
amount appropriated to enable the
State commissioners to place Mime
sofas exhibit on an equality with her
sisters of equal population and re-
sources. The farmers of the state have
more interest in that exhibition than
any other class of the community, and
l think every farmer representative
in the legislature ought to attend an
extra session for that purpose rather
than our state should fail to make a
creditable appearance on the fair
grounds and produce favorable i'm
preston upon our visitors at the fair
from other states of the Union and
other nations of the world. The
many Minnesota interests that ought
and wish to be represented cannot
with the present appropriation be
creditably exhibited, and [ hope the
Union will do nothing to discourage
the effort to secure an additional
amounts especially as IL is proposed
that the extra session should be free
of cost to the taxpayers. A good ex-
hibit will be creditable and without
doubt beneficial to the state. A poor
one dlscreditable and injurious. l
hope our farmer representatives. and
all other representatives, as well as
the Lake CRYSTAL TTniOn- will olive this
matter careful consideration, and not
only consider but act on it in a man
ner that will be creditable to them
selves. As a taxpayer of Blue Earth
county I would rather bear my share
of the cost of an extra session of the
legislature than we should fail of Sc
curing an exhibit worthy of the most
enterprising and prosperous of the
western states, and with resources
second to none. FARMER.
