IMPORTANT DECISION.
Iowa Supreme Court Gives About
1000 Acres to Uncle sam.

Iowa Supreme Court Gives About
1900 Acres TO Uncle sam.
Des Moines, la, Feb. 6.-The supreme
court mas decided a case from Harrison
county involving about 1900 acres of
land along the Missouri river, which
has been transferred from Nebraska to
Iowa, by the change of the rivers
course. The owners of the land along
the old channel claimed the land as ac-
cretions, and the lower court sustained
them; but the government surveyed
and sold it, nevertheless, as government
land and the contention was between
the two sets of titles. The supreme
court held that if the land had been or
binary gradual accretions it would have
belonged TO the owners of the property
to which it was added; but it found
that sudden change of channel had
transferred the territory from Ne
braska into Iowa, and therefore it was
government land. All claimants under
the accretion claim are dispossessed
and they are occupying most of the land.

Of the opportunity 10 see as many public

existing trade relations between Canada

OF making these trade relations broader
and freer. The liberal party. which came
into power In Canada last June. has always
favored the freest possible relations be-
tween the two countries, consistent, OF
course, with their own fiscal independence,
and before introducing a tariff measure at
the next session of parliament, we desire to
ascertain as far possible the views of the
American people through their representa-
lives with respect TO these trade relations
