I which event persons are generaly found ready to assiet "capitalists." hose " prominent capitalists " paid the ioadi n c ipay$125.000 for their land grant. containing between six hundred thousand and seven hundred thousand acres of land. exclusive of this on the reservation. and now it is proposed to take frein the poer uen seeking Govoraitiil lands on which to make homes one undred nd thirty thonusand aces mre and give these promintnt capitalists." The read is out so repair and imnpassable across the Kamath Marsh. and no effort is being made to keep np repairs. In fat. neither the company nor "prominent capitalists" feo uiher any otlig ions to koepupropaiis on thier:od. Road companies and swamplaid "angls" already hold a monopoly of the lands of our State. and noy to give one hundred and thirty thousand acres more to " prominent capitalists" is about equivalent to pulishiag to tie world: No immigrants wanted unless they have money to pay such prices as these monopolists see roper to harge. It might be well enough for our next Legislature to investigate this land business. and see how much "prominent capitalisto" have to do with it.
