Great Northern's Grant.

WAsHINoToN, Sept. 2l.--Proba-
bly, the people Of Northern Idaho,
and even large section of WASH
ington, are not aware that by an
act of congress the Great Northern
railroad Is enabled to select along
the line of its road, either on sur
veyed or unsurveyed lands, $1,000
acres, to which 1t will receive i'm
mediate title so soou as its selections
are made. This act was passed for
the relief of certain settlers in North
Dakota, to whose lands the company
laid claim. 1t was generally con-
ceded that by carrying their claims
to the courts these lands would have
been awarded TO the company, and
the settlers and innocent purchasers
would have been turned out Of their
homes and denuded of all rights to
the lands. In order to secure re-
linquishment from the Great North
ern, congress passed q law, which
went through on the last day of the
session and was signed an hour be-
fore adjournment, and this act al
lows the Great Northern to select
65, 900 acres of land along its line iD
any ofthe states through which it
runs, providing no other title has
attached to any Of the lands. 1t is
allowed to go upon either surveyed
or unsuryeyed lands, and the only
exception is that it must not select
land known to select minerals.
THE CoMPANY's ADVANTAGE.
The fact that the act allows the
company to select either surveyed
or unsurveyed lands, places 1t at an
advantage over other people, and
it may go ahead and lay its claims
to a large track of timber lands In
both Idaho and Washington, which
have not as yet come within reach
of any settlers, but may be near
enough to the line Of road to serve
the purpose Of the company. A
saving clause on this point is that
the land cannot be selected in tracts
of more than mile square, and
must not join, so 1t practically
amounts to the selection of every
other section, but even that will give
the company great deal of advan-
tage and allow it to secure valuable
timber lands which it desires to use
for ties, bridges, etc.
