U S Wins in Land Case of 75 Million Dollars

The case traces back to 1868 and 1886 grants to Oregon Central Railway and subsequent SP actions. The ruling cites prior Supreme Court support and notes SP failure to sell in 160 acre tracts at two dollars per acre as required.

Night school to assimilate foreign residents in Mason City
In Mason City Iowa a night school will be organized at Grant school to educate large foreign groups including Greeks Montenegrins Italians Bulgarians and Servians. The goal is to teach English and civic duties so they can be assimilated as American citizens. The Congregational church fellowship backs the effort with Superintendent Gilmore in charge aided by John Albin and Joe Kalalis. The program begins with twenty members and will host foreigners at night to avoid religious instruction and instead promote Americanization.
