PATTERSON WILL BE BUSY.
He Proposes to Take 100000 Men
to Cuba on the Fourth
Of ,TuIy

ABERDEEN, S. D., Feb. Aim Pat
terson, of Minneapolis, who is we'll
known throughout the Northwest, was
here recently on a peculiar mission.
He is working quietly but persistently
upon scheme to take 100000 men to
Cuba and land them there on the
Fourth Of July. He says he is backed
by a syndicate of Americans who have
large landed interests in the island, and
claims these Americans are anxious to
cut up the large holdings and dispose
of small plantations to able bodied men
on long time and at a low rate Of in
terest. They require no cash down,
and all the money the intended pur-
chaser needs is enough to pay his ex-
penses from here to Cuba.
On account of the large number of
people whom they intend to transport
the travelling expenses will be nominal.
MIR. Patterson says excursion rates
have already been arranged for, and
that there will be enough steamers at
New Orleans on July to carry the
100 900 eXcursiOnists to Havana, and
other points on the island where they
intend to land.
The company guarantees protection
from Spanish interference from New
Orleans to Cuba, and, when the men
arrive. they will be such formidable
body that Spain will not dare to inter-
1ere IN the pedcelul pursuits the I'M
migrants intend to follow. If an at
tempt should be made to interfere, the
men will be instructed to arm them
selves and protect their rights.
The cOmpany's agent claims that q
vast amount of money has been lost by
American property owners over there
because the Spaniards will not allow
them to work their plantations. They
intend to place a man on every few
acres, and, of he stands up for his
rights. and works the property as it
can be worked, he will become the alb
solute owner of his small plantation in
a few years. The company guarantees
to furnish the settlers with all the nee
essary machinery, and arm them, if 1t
becomes necessary through Spanish in
terVention. Mr.. Patterson says he has
been very successful in securing men
from the two Dakotas, Montana and
Minnesota who are only too willing to
accept the cOmpany's fattering in in
duCements, and claims the gigantic eX-
cursion is already an assured success.
Mr. Patterson intends to leave for
Eastern points Sunday night to prose-
cute his labors in securing volunteers
for the big Iand-seekers' excursion on
Independence Day-the largest move

full pursuits the world has ever seen.

A contributor to the last number of Forest

of an enthusiast a subject that is calcu-
lated to give many people 1.-The cold shivers."
He says:
L have often had occasion in these columns
to speak of the virtues of a winter vacation
trip, not one to be spent in the house, but
out of doors in camp. Really, winter is the
healthiest time Of year. and the time when
one can have most fun out of DOORS At no
time is exercise beneficial to the physical
man as in the cold and purified air of the
winter woods. and, moreover he is obliged

it or not, as cur good mothers used to take

it wily-nilly. At no time are the woods so
beautiful as in winter, when they are white
and clean-starched in natures laundry, and
at no time is it so pleasant to go hunting
or just go walking. Although the winter sea-
son is usually closed to the hunter Of our
ordinary game, he may turn trapper or natur-
alist, or perhaps be lucky enough to hunt
where his conscience need not suffer Then
as he goes abroad over the clean surface Of
the earth there lies the record OF it all writ

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Commis-
sioner Hermann today decided the case
OF Archbishop John Ireland, involving
the right to about 10000 acres of land
in the st. Cloud and Marshall land dis
tricts, Minnesota.
With a view to colonization and
other purposes, the archbishop entered
into two contracts with the st. Paul.
Minneapolis & Manitoba Railroad
company, within whose limits the land
lay, for it's disposition. These con-
tracts were dated July II, 1880, and
March 80, 1888.
The commissioner decides that, under
the agreement of 1880, in which about
5000 acres are involved, the archbishop
cannot become the purchaser, as he
was simply the agent Of the company.
The settlers now on these lands can
acquire patent under the land laws
at the price Of S1.25 per acre, or I'M
der certain conditions may take out
homestead rights.
Under the agreement Of 1888, the
commissioner decides the archbishop
has the right to purchase the lands.
These he will have to pay for at the
rate of $3.50 per acre.
In the first case, therefore, the deci-
sion is against the archbishop, and in
the second for him, although in both
cases the settlers will be protected.
The archbishop has the right of appeal
