FEES GO GuMMERING
Decision BY Commissioner
Of United States
Land Office.

Journal. Press (s7): Within the
past few days there have been some
twenty odd decisions of. the commits
sioner of the general land Office cover
ing cases in the so-called Northern
Pacific indemnity belt in Morrison,
Todd and Grow Wing counties. In all
the cases the decisions favored the
railroads. Mayor J. E. G. Robinson
is one of the attorneys for the con
t%estants, the actua! settlers, and the
decision unless reversed by the United
States supreme court will be the
means of LOSING TO the settlers some
200 quarter sections of land, with fees
a~ggregating some $50, 900 to the at
torneys.
The decision are covered by an z
nibus decision filed recently BY the,
commissioner and in which Judgment
was found for the railroad company,
and the individual decisions are com -
ing so rapidly at the local land Q flee
that no effort is being made to en- ter
VIC" az lAo pIteSQG '1uo.
From time to time cases were
brought by Attorney Robinson and in
almost every instance were decided by
then commissioners in favor of the
settlers. Assistant Attorney General
V~andeventer, however, was promoted
to become United States judge in g.
Missouri district and his successor.
has taken an entirely different view
of the facts and has decided every
case involving the same points in ia

against the settlers, in line of deci-
sions Of the United States supreme.
court made some time ago. As the
settlers are for the most part men in
only ordinary c circumstances of very
modest meal they do not feel like,
engaging in any long and expensiv e
litigation and are negotiating with
the company direct for q settlement,
preferring to pay the company as high
as $40 per acre rather than take the
chances Of a long litigation which
might end ~unfavorably. The lands
in controversy are in the 80. called st.
Paul & Northern Pacific indemnity
belt and the cases were taken by the
attorneys on a contingent fee basis,
the settlers agreeing to pay 5000 per
quarter section if thelawyers win ont,
