SETTLERS LOSE HOMES
Supreme Court Decision
Favors Railroad in
WasS CasS

St. Cloud Times: Attorney P. b.
Gorman, of this city, last evening ra-
ceivad telegram from Washington
notifying him that the U. s. Supreme
Court mad reversed the Minnesota Su-
preme Court in the celebrated Wass
case, involving the rights of some 20O
homesteaders in Morrison and Todd
counties T. .,
The Wass case was a test proceeding
which included about 200 like suits.
The land IN question was claimed by
the Northern Pacific under one of its
grants. The homesteaders attacked
the validity OF the company's claim.
It was contested through the land
Office and into the State Supreme
Court, which held IN favor of the
settlers. 1t was appealed to the y. s.
Supreme Court, where it was twice ar
gued, the sec"nd time in January, at
both of which Mr.. German appeared
for the honesteaders.
The present decision is a reversal Of
the decision of tho State Supreme
Court and of all previous ruling.
Mr.. 9orman stated this aftern oon
that he is unable to make statement
until after he has seen the decision
and that his information thus far is
merely the meagre facts set forth IN
the telegram received last night.
This decision will be a severe blow
to the settlers, and general regret will
be telt at the outcome. Mr.. German
has devoted much time to the case, ap-
pearing at all the hearings ana max
ing two trips to Washington. It IS to
he greatly regretted that his earnest
labOrs have been IN vain.

INDORSF eastman BILL
Commercial Club Passes "a
Number Of Resolutions
.-NeW Directors

A number of important matters
came before the Commercial club at its
regular monthly meeting Monday
evening. ....
The most important matter taken up
was the eastman Distance Tariff bill,
which was discussed to some extent.
While there was no opposi tlon- to the
idea of the bill it was thought by some
that the time was inopportune. This
idea did not prevail. however, and It
was voted without opposition to send
resolutions to be drafted by the Presl-
dent, Secretary and N. n. Berghelm
to the representatives of this district,
asking them to vote tor the bill.
A communicate from the st. Cloud
Commercial club, asking the local COM
merclal club to 60 on record for the
bill providing for the use of only home
stone and material on state buildings
was taken up. While the members be-
lieved home material should get every
consideration the idea of completely
shutting out all competition, was
believed to be ill advised. The bill
was not Endorsed, but the idea that
the home product should be gwen the
preference, was ordered drafted INTO
resolution.
Among q number of communications
was one from the Pacific Coast Con.
densed Milk company, which stated
that they would not at present con-
slder the proposition of erecting fac
tory at this point, but would like to
be furnished with statistics in the
matter of availability Of milk within q
radius OF seven miles. size of farm,
etc., which information will be fur
nished.
The Minneapolis Journal is making
a campaign for the settlement of Min
nesota, and they asked that lnforma-
tlOn in relation to the success of
twelve farmers of our county IN dit
ferent lines be furnished them. A
committee Of John Vertin, s. G. Vasaly
and J. K. Martin, will look after this
matter.
The club also favored the use OF
moneys on county roads and county
schools in preference to new buildings
at the state fair.
The names of the board OF directors
handed in by the committee, was ap-
proved. and is as follows: A. F..
K0slosky B. Burton, L. O. Vessel, j.
w. Stephenson, Chas Sylvester, W. II.
Ryan, DR.. Z. F. Hoist.
The banquet committee reported,
and the banquet will be held at a
future date. possibly soon after lent.
The commattee on memDershlp
reported good progress, and will
attempt to finish up the work very
soon.
It was voted to JOIN, the Confedera-
tion of Commercial clubs, and the fee
of $40 was ordered sent to the
secretary of the organization.
The club especially invites the
farmers of the county to attend the
meetings, whenever it is convenient
for them to do so The regular meet
| lngs are held the third Monday even
| ing of each month.
