At (he annual school meeting held
in District No. 27, unusual interest
was manifested. The patrons of the
district propose to maintain school
for nine months during tba coming
year. After tba school question was
settled, the need of a new school
house was brought before the meeting.
The question was discussed pretty
thoroughly for quite a length of time,
and was finally put to vote and
almost unanimously carried In favor
af a new building. The Intention is
to build a house costing somewhere
near nine hundred dollars, which Is
a sum sufficient to pay for the cost of
building, of which the district may
feel Justly proud. This is certainly a
step in the right direction, wo have
been needing a saw school house for

that had better school buildings than
we have, replaced them with new
ones several years ago. The question

First The orlgloal grant was Im
provident In the lest degree.
Second Tba original grant was
upon conditions, to ha performed by
the company within twelve years, or
In 1876. Two years extension was
given by congressional enact men t.and
since the expiration of these two
yesis the company has had nearly
eta years mere extension nt time, by
mm mi inn of congress.
Third The great object of the
original grant was so all raH com
munication to the Pacific coast, bv a
northern route, which has been
accomplished, so that the principal
reason for the grant no longer exists,
aod this reason o- longer operating,
the remainder ot the grant ought to
be restored to the pobiic domain.
Fourth The company has already
earned under the terms of the grant
36,000,000 acres of land, a very
large portion of which is moat valua
ble agricultural lands, for which said
company Is now demanding of the
settlers, who nave gone upon them
In advance of the title accruing to
the eonseaay, tbe extortionate prices
of from 9460 to 916 per acre. Tbe
remainder of theaa earned lands are
either covered with valuable Umber,
or are valuable for pastors ge.
The vast extant af this body of
earned lands, may be bettor conceiv
ed, If looked at and considered, aa a
consolidated territory. Thrown into
one compact body, tliey aggregate
94,687 square miles, a territory con
siderably greater than the territorial
limits of either of the states of Indi
ana, Ohio or Mississippi, and equal
to extant to the area of either of the
states of Illinois or Iowa.

further acquisitions of public lands
may be secured In the bands, and
under tba control ef this gigantic
monopoly, can neither ho a wise nor

For those and ether equally cogent
considerations, it is impossible for
ma to comply with the request con
tained tn the third resolution of the
Honorable the Common Council
which Is as follows.
Resolved, "That our Senators, and
Representatives in Congress, be and
they are hereby requested to do all in
their power to secure to tb Northern

thns to enable the Northern Pacifio
Railroad Company, to push to comple

planned in the granting act"
