HEAVY LAW SUIT.
The Title to $4,000 Acres in Morrison
County Questioned-Many
49, =.#~< Settlers Affected. =

This morning q notice was filed
with Register of Deeds Goulet stat.
ing that an action was pending in
| the circuit court of the United States
for the district OF Minnesota by the
st. Paul and Northern Pacific Rail.
way Co., complaint, VS.. the st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Manitoba Railway
Co., George L.>Becker and Edmund
Rice, as trustees, William R. Merriam,
Governor of the state of Minnesota;
Moses E. Clapp as Attorney General
OF said state; John s. Kennedy, John
s. Barnes, James A. Roosevelt, Sam
uel Thorne and the Central Trust Co.,
OF New York ,as trustees, and Richard
B.. Angus, defendents.
The action is brought to remove
the clouds from the, certain railway
land grants in Morrison county.
Both companies claims ownership,
and the actions is brought by the
Northern Pacific to prevent any
transfer OF the property until the
courts have had chance to decide
the matter. About $4,000 acres are
affected in this county by the action.
The property is situated in four
towns, Buckman, Morrill,, Belleview
and. Two Rivers. The outcome is
one OF great Importance to the sett-
lers who purchased the land from
the Manitoba road years ago. If the
claim of the Northern Pacific is held
valid, then the title of the settlers is
not worth the paper it is written on.
The purchasers could fall back upon
the Manitoba company for damages,
but only to the extent of the cost OF
original purchase. The improve
ments in the shape of buildings, cul-
tivation of the land, etc., in many
cases amounts to thousands of dol
lars from which nothing could be re-
covered. On the other hand if the
title OF the Manitoba road is held
good, the settlers are all secure in
their possessions.
At the present time the value of
the land is not less than $40 per acre.
The whole trouble arises from the
fact that the Northern Pacific land
grants extends for twenty miles on
both sides of it's road and then it
has a ten mile second indemnity
strip, under which it can select lands
as far as thirty and forty miles from
it's line. AS the matter stands, it
appears that the grants Of the two
companies overlap each other.

The author of the present tariff law
said a short time ago that the
Mckinley bill is now doing its own
talking" A very pleasant chorus
is supplied by the reports of the
different state labor bureaus of the
country. The fact that the country
is prosperous, and that workingmen
are receiving good wages is known
by all, but to have Democratic
officials publish such reports is
certainly very discouraging to the
free trade campaign.

SWedish-Luthern, Church

The residents OF the city who art
desirious of organizing a Swedish
Luthern church here are encounter
ing many difficulties in carrying out
their designs. A meeting was held
last Tuesday evening and board OF
trustees organized when it was that
that the new church had been fairly
started. 1t has since been found
however, that the meeting was il.
legal and all the business transacted
void. The course to be followed in
such cases is to post a notice for Is
days that meeting will he held for
the purpose Of organizing a church,
this was not done but the announce
ment was made four times of the in
tention to organize. The only re-
suit OF this will be to postpone the
1lnal organization for short time.
Another meeting will be held on Sat-
urday evening, the 18th, when the
trustees will be reelected and organ
ization completed.
Sunday afternoon at 3 O'Clock q
meeting will be held at the residence
OF Mr. G. 0. Eklund, in ROckwelle's
addition for the purpose OF organiz-
ing a Sunday school in connection
with the church organization. A
full attendance OF all who intend
Joining the new church is desired.

go to the library fund. The organi-
cation and management of the board
is provided for by law and all that
remains to be done is to follow the
course, which in this instance is a
very easy matter. -. -;
We are pleased to see that the City
Council at it's meeting last evening
took the first step towards fulfilling
it's duties in this important matter.
Much yet remains to be done, ar
ranging for a stock of suitable books;
librarian, rooms and many other
matters. In regard to rooms it is
proposed to ask the County Commits
siOners to grant the use of a room in
the county building. A more suit
able location could not be found, and
it is hoped that that body will see
it's way clear to grant the request.
At the next meeting Of the, council
steps willbe taken to have the as
sessment upon this years tax levy.

From the Pacific Farmer.1
The citizens of the Inland Empire are
in high state of glee over the action of
congress in passing the bill which
authorizes the completion of the Cascade
locks by contract. This will be worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly
to the farmers of that vast territory.
The citizens of The Dalles realizing this
had grand congratulatory meeting up
on receiving the good news from head
quarters last week. Well may The
Dalles people be happy because this viii

for deep sea going vessels, because it is
claimed that any vessel can reach that
place that can reach Vancouver, the river
getting narrower and deeper until it
gets beyond the Cascade mountains.
1t is certain that the great freight
whaIeback vessels can take their loads
of wheat and -four at this point, almost
two hundred miles inland. and carry
them to China and other points bevond
the Pacific ocean. The largest -four and
woolen mills in the world should be
built at this place, as it is in the finest
wheat growing and wool growing regions

to be freighted over 100 miles in bulk
before it could be manufactured into
-four or clothing and with the cheap
cost OF water transportation sent all

REPORT of NJ. K. CHURCH.
Rev. n. &. Spencer has rendered his Res
ignation--To go East.

Rev. n. e. Spencer has rendered his Res
ignation---TO go East.
For THE CHRoNICLE.1
THE DALLEs, July 15.-As | have ten
dered my resignation as pastor of the
Church, it might be well to make a
report of the work of the last ten months.
Considering that L entered upon my
duties, with dissensions, and the great
fire leaving the church in a torn and
scattered condition, with only the school
house for services, it could hardly be
expected that much could be accom-
plished in ten months.
The summary of results however will
show fair degree of success. The new
church, the brightest and best in the
Columbia river conference, worth with
and now ready for dedication, with a
small Indebtedness, is a sufficient mon
ument for ten months work.
But this is not all. Our Sunday
school records show for the last
quarter, ending with July 1st, an average
attendance of 121, with good supply of
help of every variety.
The public congregations have been
large and their appreciation OF the ser
vices have been shown by the very lib
eral collections at ev cry public service
The spiritual interests were not for
gotten in the material prosperity, and
the class, prayer and Epworth League
meetings were well attended and, the
numerical results show very good de-
gree of success.
During the ten months twenty-three
have been received on probation and
twenty-six by letter. making total of
forty-nine.. Six have been received into
full connection. Seven have been bap-
tized, while only one of our number has
died during the time.
Our relation to the church has not al
ways been pleasant, but it is but the
outgrowth of a firmness to duty, with
out respect of party or favor, and yet,
in conclusion, wish to heartily thank
those who have, by voice, word and
deed, materially aided in making the
above success possible.
AS expect soon to remove to the far
east, l shall never forget the many
friends / leave in this city, and with
those who have differed with me, all
that can ask of them is, that may be

to Pilgrims.
The first railway in Jerusalem Will,
we are told, bc opened in the spring OF
the coming year. 1t is a short line,
running only from Joppa, the nearest
Do2.t on the Mediterranean, and intended
TO accommodate the growing passenger
and other traffic between that place and
the holy city.
The work Of construction is being
carried out by French company, who
beran laying down the line in April
1880. 1t is fully expected that the
speculation viii be a paying one. Inc
company anticipates, at all events,
making large profits, after paying the
shareholders "a guaranteed interest OF
five per cent.
1t is stated that over forty thousand
persons land at Jorpa every year, IN
order 10 make pilgrimage to Jerusalem
and other spots celebrated in sacred
history. saws the London Standard. The
number. of steamers and other vessels
putting into the port of Joppa is now
inward of eight hundred a year, the
destination of most of the passengers
and merchandise they convey being the
capital of Palestine. IN evidence of the
recent rapid growth of the traffic it may
be mentioned that Joppa has treblec
its population within the past thirty
years.
Tourists will be able to take return
ticket from the port in question anc
