Description
Printed folio document, 10-1/4" x 15-1/2." Completed in ink manuscript. Signed by the President [S. N. Felton] and Secretary [Chas. Hinchman] of the Western Land Association. Docketed on the verso, with manuscript release of portion of a mortgage from the Association. Usual folds, Very Good plus. A Jay Cooke project to give him access to the lands along a Minnesota Railroad. "One of the projects growing out of Jay Cooke's connection with the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad was the 'Western Land Association of Minnesota.' The purpose of this company was similar to George Francis Train's Credit Foncier of America. It sought to exploit Duluth and the town sites and land privileges along the right of way of a projected railroad. The first published report of the Western Land Association was made in 1871. The company had received cash of $200,000 for its shares. Its receipts consisted of $97,321 for real estate sold and $21,166 in interest on deferred payments, and it paid out $182,390 for real estate purchases. But the most important item mentioned in the report is the stock interest acquired in the company by the Northern Pacific Railroad. In return for an agreement of the Northern Pacific to fix its eastern terminus at Duluth and to connect with the Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad, the Western Land Association sold 2,000 shares of its stock for $120,000 to the 'Lake Superior and Puget Sound Company,' the real estate subsidiary of the Northern Pacific. "The president of the company, Mr. Samuel M. Felton, said, 'The company will soon be attacked by the Press and in the Courts as a monopoly, and being the creature of the law, may be subject to continual and expensive annoyance.' Moreover, 'the Western Land Association has now accomplished, as a holder of a large number of town lots, the object for which it was organized, and kept out of the hands of unprogressive speculators the property they would otherwise have held to the detriment of all large plans of improvement". [Sakolski, THE GREAT AMERICAN LAND BUBBLE. Harper & Brothers. 1932. Chapter 14, page 294 et seq. Reprinted 1966.].
