1t will be noted from the last item
that the land grant from St. Cloud
to Hinckley has been sold to the
Great Northern, hence county audi
tors and assessors are requested to
make note thereof, since this land if
none other is surely taxable having
passed out of the possession of the
original grantor; but alas we fear
that some of the state and county Of
ficials have been so hypnotized by
James J. Hill or his agents that none
of them will obey the law. Will Hon.
Knute Nelson, Governor of the state,
please take note hereof and demon
strate whether he has or has not
completely succumbed to the mag
netic influences of President Hill.
1t should be born in mind that the
last annual report of the commits
sioner shows apparently that COM
mon stock has not been issued
though it may be possible the recent
st. Paul blow out was gotten up to
enable President Hill and his CO.
horts to find a market for this $2O.-
OOO, 900 of common stock.
While 100000 of the preferred
stock was issued to the Manitoba in
exchange for the $21, 1888, $3.50 of as
sets named above there was an in
debtedness against the same of So
100000.
The alleged balance sheet on June
30. 1891. was as follows.

when as fact the st. Vincent Elk
tension was not so completed.

WHEN DIS IdcG the ST. vincent EX-
tension was not so completed.
From the report of the General
Land Office 1e83-84 page 20 or q it ap-
pears the grant was made, "On con-
dition that if any part of the road
was not completed in the time re-
quired no further sale shall be made
and the unsold lands shall revert to
the United States" and from House
Elk. Dec. 1881 and 'S2, No. IA, it ap-
pears the line from St. Cloud to ST..
Vincent 3l4 miles,
Was located November It'll, 1871,
should have been completed Dec. 3,
1873. Only 40 miles were completed
on that date, and ia miles were not
completed as required. Area of the
full grant 100000 acres. Area earn
ed by the completion fraud $4,000
acres.
So that it seems that on this one
branch the company has secured
100000 acres in violation of law and
in addition to the illegal selections
named above, or an attempt to Sc
cure :, 427 ,292 50 acres in violation of
law and actually securing over ,2OO,-
600 acres illegally.
OF course it is impossible to state
what may have been the means used
to so hypnotic our state and nation
al officials and we invite the governor
of this state, Knute Nelson, to do his
duty in accordance with law, on
this as we'll as all other subjects, if he
has either the courage or inclination.
The Great Northern as shown by a
former table practically controls over
5000 miles of road, but the last an
nual report of the Board of Railroad
and Warehouse Commissioners of
this state and from the one next pre-
ceding we gather the following facts:
The Great Northern has acquired
or holds by lease the following lines
of railroad:

The company owned no lines but

lines for 999 years, agreeing to pay a
rental of per cent on 500. 900
stock or 81, 200, 900 and the interest on
all debts, bonds, etc.
The city of st. Paul has contri-
buted $4,000 to pay the expense of
the late blow out, which is certainly
magnanimous, in view of the fact
that the Manitoba owes a large sum
to the county in back taxes, and we
are unable to state that there is any
truth in the rumor that the auditor
is about to assess said company I'M

whom or how is not stated and there
may be those who will feel inclined
to discount the correctness of such
an allegation. The balance or the

were the most destructive which have
visited Iowa since it's settlement. The
storm was confined to the northwest
ern quarter of the state, and in its
worst form followed very nearly the
line of the Illinois Central from LIE
Mars to Manson, a distance of 100
miles. The loss of life in this section
will reach over 100, but it will be i'm.
possible to give any exact estimate for
the reason that, with the exception of
Pomeroy, no town suffered to any con-
siderable extent and the destruction is
scattered over a wide area.

A COMPLETE WRECK.
Scarcely a House Left Standing at
Pomeroy.

PomerOy.
PoMERoY, Ia, July 8. .-Forty-four
mum bers the dead at Pomeroy. II is
one of the saddest scenes ever witnessed,
and even the strongest are compelled to
turn away from some of the sights at
the city hall hospital, where the worst
of the 109 injured now are.
Every dwelling now standing can be
well termed hospital. as all have been
thrown wide open. and from two TO
eight wounded are being kept in each.
Pomeroy is one complete wreck. There
is scarcely a house left standing.
About IL acres of debris constitutes
now what was once thriving village.
Splinters are all that remain. Pomeroy
is part and parcel of the prairie, the
death-dealing wind having left it bar
rem and desolate. Piles of broken tim
bers and an occasional piece Of furni-
ture are all that can be fornd of what
were once the largest buildings in the
place.
