HALF A MIL
LION DOLLARS
Saved for the Public School Fund by
r. c. Dunn's Firm Stand
Regarding a Rail-
road Land
Grant.

When r. C. Dunn, the Republican
candidate for governor, was state au-
ditor, one of the most important
! branches of his official duty was the
administration of the grants of
swamp lands made by the state 1egis-
lature to railroads. Some of the rail-
road companies claimed large tracts
of lands under their grants to which,
in Mr.. Dunn's opinion, they were not
entitled, for instance, the legislature
had made grant of swamp lands to
the Little Falls & Dakota Ry. Co.,
branch of the Northern Pacific Rail-
way, extending from Little Falls, in
Morrison county, to Morris, in Ste
vens county, and running through the
counties of Todd, Stearns and Polk.
The total length of this line of rail-
road is 81 7-10 miles. The granting
act provided that the railroad COM
pany should construct it's line in divi-
sions of thirty miles each, and that
the line should be carried to the west
ern boundary of the state, some forty
or fifty miles west of Morris, and that
as fast as one division of the line, or
thirty miles, was completed the grant
of land was to be considered earned,
that is the railroad company could Sc
lect those sections of swamp lands for
each mile in length of the division
constructed that under portion OF the
grant was to be considered earned
when the division was completed.
The railroad company failed to con-
struct its line to the western boun-
dairy of the state, and stopped short at
Morris, leaving third and last Sec
ton Of it's line, only q TO miles In
length, or $40 miles short OF being
a full division For this part OF a
division the railroad company claimed
the swamp land grant, but Mr.. Dunn
took an opposite view, and, contend
ing that the grant did not apply,
owing to their failure to complete the
division of thirty miles. Litigation
was contemplated, and, in fact, COM
menced, and in view Of the uncertain
ty of courts the result was probably
doubtful. but at the last minute the
railroad company agreed to waive It's
claims to the 106,0 900 acres OF land for
the last uncompieted division OF its
line. and compromise was affected
which the legislature ratified by Chap.
1913, Gen. Laws 1901, by which the
Little Falls & Dakota Ry. Co. (the
Northern Pacific Ry. Coz agreed to
accept $4,000 acres in full satisfac-
ton OF it's claim under its swamp
land grant, while the state was to- re-
tain 10000 acres.
This land so saved TO the state by
Mr.. Dunn is worth not less than one
half million OF dollars, which amount
is divided equally between the school
fund and the state institutions fund,
and it was only owing to the firm
stand taken by MF. Dunn, as state au-
ditox, that this large amount of land
was recovered for the state. Every
addition to the school fund and to the
state institutions fund means addf
tional money for the support OF our,
schools and charitable and coTrec-
tional institutions, and the taxpayers
are benefited correspondingly.

Capt. Leyde's company Of artil-

fort about noon yesterday and were
obliged to wait until night for the
boat from below. They left at 8 p.
N. on the Mollie Mohler.
From present appearances there
will only be sufficient number of
recruits to fill two more companies
of the artillery regiment, making
four in all.
The Eighth regiment is under or

leave as soon as it can be assembled
at Fort Smelling.

Notwithstanding the repeal of the

tered at the provost marshal's oRce
yesterday. A supplementary draft
to make up the exemption will prob
ably commence on Monday.
The result of the draft in this
district was that $50, names were
drawn, and of these 208 have been
into the service, and are
either at the fort or have been sent
to the front. Some of the notifca-
ti0ns were not distributed until
late, and probably about 100 more
will report, leaving 200 deserters~

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts From St Paul Papers. Of Oct
IS. 1854.


Capt. Stees and Lieut.. Hesty, in
valid officers of the Sixth regiment,
arrived on the Mollie Mohler last
night from Helena, Ark. They re-
port the health of the regiment i'm
proving very slowly-only eighty
eight men ft for duty. Four hum
dred and fifty men we're sent to the
United States general hospital at
Jefferson Barracks, Mo-, where the
men are improving more rapidly.
On the way home the steamer on
which Capt. Stees came to Cairo
was fired on by guerrillas and one
soldier wounded.
The novelty of the steamboat from
st. Louis was to be seen at the levee
yesterday. We used to hear OF such
things being seen here, but that
was long ago when the country was
new, and the oldest inhabitant has
forgotten all about it. This curios-
ity bears the name of J. S. Hall.
She is 40 feet long, % feet wide
and draws about IL inches, the
lightest draught boat for her size
ever built. AS the youngest ur-
chin of the city, if he should survive
to three score years and ten, may
never see craft from that port
again, everyone had better go down
and take a look at it. One more
year of drouth like the past two al d

An Equal Chance For Both Sexes

York by syndicate that owns sew
eral papers, viii in future employ
women Of any active age who wish
to acquire the chronicler's art, on
an equality with men, giving both
sexes instruction free, besides pay
ing for accepted work. 1t is expec-
ted that tie earnest ones will make
fair living from the start, and as
they deyeIope the necessary quail
fications, they will be advanced to
editorial and other responsible po-
sitions on the syndicate's papers,
on the same footing. One of the
editors says: The normal woman
shows keen desire for the correct
details of current events which,
with the sprightly style OF nara
ton that is characteristic OF the
sex, admirable fits her for the jour
nalastic duties of news-gathering
and news-recording, as well as 9th

practical education accompanies
them, such as our public schools
afford" Every section Of the conn-

There is little stump i'll the

provoked more wrath than any
thing to it's size IN the county
Have you ever seen it? Of course
you have, ard felt it, too, 1t is in
the little hollow just opposite Jim
Notes house, and so situated as to
come in contact with every passing
vehicle. If you strike it with two
wheels and at sweeping trot, your
hat, equilibrium and solar p'eufus
are ali displaced simultaneously.
If you chance to have the lines
well in hand, YOU may miss it with
the fore wheel, but the hind one,
nit. The approach on either side
is down hill, hence you strike 1t
with thud which is calculated to
stir up the liver, jrritate the nerves
and engender wrath. No one
knows how long it has been there.

4 Debt to Columbus,

1t is customary to praise Chris
tcpher Columbus for many noble
characteristics, to say nothing OF
bis far-seeing intelligence, but the
south owes him a special debt OF
gratitude for the prescience that
led him to bring the watermelon
to America when he first came
The first water melon seeds were
turned loose to hustle for them
selves on San Salvador Island, and
thence the hungry Spaniards took
them to Florida. When once the
succulent melon was started in
America. it took care of itself in
the struggle for existence. 1t was
certainly doing a big business in
Georgia, before certain Ogle,
thorpe put in his appearance.
he watermelon is said to be the
most ancient of all edible vegetables
in Asia, where it is supposed to
have originated. he me lon was
cultivated in France as early as
1929, and was a favorite dish with
the early Greeks and Romans. So
much for it's ancient history. Its
present record is a brilliant exam
pie of what even a melon can do
by steady attention to business
