ably all land grant titles in Minnesota.
The claim of the government was that
because the lands were entered, either
under homestead or presumption laws,
subsequent to the time Of the definite
| fixing of the line of road and prior to
the filing of the map of the definite To-
cation in the interior department, the
lands were excepted from the operations
of the grant. But the lands having
passed from the railroad company to
bona-fde purchases and there being no
fraud claimed or shown in the certiti-
cation. the government is without any
recourse whatever on account of errone-
Gus certifcation as against bona-fide
| nllrchasers.

BELIEVING that many of our
readers would like to know what
the yellow fever has cost the State,
We reproduce the following figures:
DR.. j. F. Hunter, secretary of the
State board of health, estimates
that his board has expended and
contracted bills on account Of the
yellow fever to an amount of tt
least $4,000. That is his estimate
of the cost of the fever to the
State for quarantine and other ex.
penSes incurred by his board.
The appropriation of $4,000 was
exhausted today, and before any
Other bills can be- paid the legsla-
ture will have to make an appro-
prlation. Of this $4,000 appro-
priatiop, however, something like
$1,000 was expended for other
purposes, a large proportion of
the latter amount having been
paid out before the yellow fever
was declared to exist in Mississippi.
he estimates that the legislature
will have to make an additional ap.
preparation of $4,000 before the
State board of health can pay all
CLAIMS against it. These figures
do not include the cog of quarau'
tines by the difftren ipaiines.
