THE BEMIDJI DAILY PION MINNESOTA HISTORICAL VOLUME 5. NUMBER 23 BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 15, 1907 TEN CENTS PER WEEK 350,000 ACRESSTATELAND [BIBLE CONFERENCE PROGRAM FOR SALE JUNE AND JULY State Auditor S. G. Iverson Announces That State Land Sales Will Be Held in Eighteen Counties During June and July. Samuel G. Iverson, state auditor, believes the coming summer season will see more settlement of Minnesota state lands than has yet taken place during any one year. Mr, Iverson says there are several reasons for this belief: “In the first place, Minnesota state lands are today better ad- vertised than ever before. Sec- ondly, the wild rush for Canadian northwest lands is over, B.ndI settlers are beginning to put on! their thinking hats before going in search of new homes. And it does not require very much consideration to drive into their heads the knowledge that Min- nesota lands are much farther| south than the wild acres of; Canada;’are as a whole nearer to railroads; are of rich soil and abundantly supplied with bot’h timber and running water.’ The prospective settler is in- ! vited to take a careful investiga- tion of northern Minnesota con- ditions; to examine the soil; to study the settlers already on the ground and hear their stories: to investigate the natural resources offered, and then compare these things with offerings for new homes to be found anywhere else. Through June and July, State; Auditor S. G. Iverson will hold a series of sales of state lands to have some one else present to bid for them they must have their money there to be paid on the day of the sale. ~ If a party bids in land and re- fuses to make payments;in other words, if he makes a straw bid, the state auditor may refuse to accept any further bids from that party, and debar him from bidding upon any tract or par- ticipating further in the sale.
