pany claims title to one parcel of
land, and Frederick Weyerhauser and

select land within the forty mile limit

The controversy grows out Of the
question as to whether the railroad
terminated at Duluth. Minn., or Ash
land, Wis. The railroad had filed ON
tract east Of Duluth before the
question of terminus came up. When
the department ruled that the ter
minus was at Duluth, the government
cancelled the selection of the rail-
road to these parcels. Individual
claimants then filed upon them. The
Hoyt and Wass applications were &C

was rejected. Finally when the su-

was at Ashland. the department ap-
proved of the selections of the rail-

federal courts by Hoyt and Campbell.
The decision was given in favor of
Hoyt but against Campbell. In the
state courts the decision was given in
