The lands are in the vicinity of Deer River and were taken up by settlers in 1904. They made every- thing but the final proof before the end of the year 1906 and this was held up by the state. Im instituting the suit the state claims the lands under the swamp land grant of 1860, claiming the lands in question are not tillable, except through artificial drainage. The attorneys for the defense, how-' ever, have put forward the novel and heretofore new defense that when the tract was examined, only one particular piece was gone over; that the examination was made in the spring—the wettest period of the year; that while one tract may be so low that it is swamp land, anoth- er, adjoining, may be highly situated and therefor tillable without artifi- cial drainage. This is the time a defense of this nature has been made and it is not known what action will be taken by the govern) in many instamces the | ment. first of the year, and for that have Fall Fashions | All the latest in Feathers, Furs, Ribbons, Silks, etc., for neat and up- to-date street and dress hats.
