Another phase of the swamp land con- troversy in lowa has turned up and this time it comes from Dubuque, where it had been supposed the swamp land matters had been disposed of long ago. It appears, how- ever, that in the days when the counties were selzing so-called swamp land in Towa and selling it for small sums Dubuque county got behind and was afterward per- mitted to select swamp lands out in the interior of lowa in the unorganized coun- ties. Some of this land was taken out in Calhoun county. The county authorities sold their land and it was supposed gener- ally that all the swamp land the county had owned or to which it was entitled had been disposed of, but Investigation has shown that there is still some swamp land in the county and that the government has s0ld some of the swamp land proper in the county. An investigation is now being made to determine how much of this swamp land which properly belonged to the county was sold and when this s determined a claim will be made against the general government to recover the price received for it when sold.
