-Nels T. Nelson. Albert Holland
and Thos. Williamson went to Lam
caster Monday on business with the
abstract Office. 1t seems that case
or two has been brought to light
near Boscobel where the title is not
clear to certain parcels of land,
owing TO the belief, no proof being
available, that the government has
not transferred the title. 1t is pos
sible that a number of parties in
Castle Rock township are also with
out clear title from the govern
ment, and the farmers are fconsid-
erably worked up over the matter
and will try and have the question
of faulty titles adjusted. -Montfort

Congressman Jas. Murphy, of
the third congressional district,
made his maiden speech in Congress
Monday. Mr.. Murphy took part in
a debate OF the immigration ques-
ton. He took the stand that I'M
migrants who came to the United
States and went into the mining
districts and other places where
they could secure employment we're
a positive benefit to the country
rather than hindrance. In an
Iswering an argument advanced by
one of the members that too many
foreigners from the poorer countries
of Europe were unskilled, Mr..
Murphy declared that the very best
drill operator in the mines of the
Platteville district was an Italian.
Reports have it that Mr.. Murphy
was listened to with interest by his
colleagues, which if true is unusual,
for in an unwieldy body like the
House of Representatives, a con
gresham cuts little figure on the
| floor or In the committee rooms
