Three Million Aeres of This Amount Are In Minnesoia. Surprising figures are contained in a report of the unappropriated public lands iv. the United States, a copy of which has just,been received at the Duluth land office. A general opinion éxists in Minnesota that a very Jarge amount of yacaut land, still open to homestead and = stone and timber entry, lies within the borders of this state. Judging by ordinary standards ithe amount seemes large, but when compared to that remaining untaken in certain of the Western states it ap- pears ridieulousty small. In Nevada, for example, the total Governor Johnson has already made a record that is attracting the favor- able attention of the people of Minne- sota. The following editorial is from the Red Wing itepublican, one of the stauchist partisans in the state of the Republican persuasion: “Governor Johnson is, indeed, mak- a remarkable record.
