Register BL. Ryan, Receiver will be, | ;State land, and one feature of these SALE OF PINE LANDS. The Annual Sale Will Take Place in St. Paul October 21. There seems to be an impression more or less prevalent throughout the state that the suit for the re- covery of a lerge amount from cer- tain lumber firms, recently decided in the United States circuit court In Minneapolis in favor of the defend- ants, was asuit in which the state of Minnesota was a party. This im- pression is entirely erroneous. The suit was instituted by the general government, the department of jus- tice taking it up at the request of the interior department. Recovery was sought for a large amount of pine alleged to have been illegally cut upon certain Indian reservations. The state was not only not a party to it, but never had any interest in it, directly or indirectly. It was decided in favor of thedefendant lumbermen, but an appeal has been taken to the supreme court of the United States. ‘There is pending now but one case in which the state has any interes This case includes about $20,000 for short settlements with the state, covering a long period of years. There was no sale of state pine land last year, the last sale having occurred i: 1895. On Oct. 21, how- ever, there will be a sale of stumpage on state lands. It will be conducted at the capitol by Auditor Dunn, who is commissioner of the state land office. The lust legislature passed a new law governing the sale of state pine which is most rigid in its require- ments, and Mr. Dunn is strictly en- forcing this law. It is not the policy -of the state to dispose of its large and uable holdings in pine at this time, except where there is reported by the cruisers in the employ of the land department some danger of Joss to the state if the pitie is held. ‘The system in vogue in arriving at these conclusions is complex aud most carefully guarded. ‘lhere are in the employ of the state three regu- lar cruisers, and special wen are souie- times employed to help them. ‘The regular cruisers are Ex-Senator W. S. Dedon, RK. F. McClellan aud J. O. McKenzie. Senator Dedon is perhaps the most widely kuown of the three, and his reputation for strict in- tegrity is wider than hi’ acquaiut- ance. Heisatair “sample” of the force. These cruisers ure required to make detailed reports and estimates of the pine on the various tracts of reports is an opiniou as to the danger of loss and waste on each tract. The reports are duly rendered under oath, | and then, before there can be any sale, where such danger is reported, each case must be considered by .the governor, the state treasurer and the auditor, and a recommendation made by these officers over their signatures, that the individual tract be sold. ‘’he approaching sale include: 142 tracts, of which s_venty-six are re- ported to contain from 10,000 to 150,- 000 feet Of pine, and sixty-six from 150,000 to 5,600,000 feet, there being but one tract which contvins the latter amount. Senator Dedon ex- amined seventy-one of the tracts, Mr. McClellan twenty-four and Mr. Mc- Kenzie thirty-five, the remainder having been examined by special men. The tracis are scattered through eight or ten counties, and speaking ! generally, are small and isolated tracts. This very fact las given rise to some complaint from Jumbermen, only the other day a lumberman com- plaining to Auditor Dunn fhat the list included very little that was of any value. Complaint has also been made that the appraised price was high. This is directly in line with the policy of the state. Where the state’s timber lies in small quantities and is isolated so that the timber abvut it is being cut off, or in sections where settlement is proceeding rap- idly, so there is increased danger of fire or loss by theft, it is manifestly to the advantage of the state to sell atonce. The dangers referred to are obviated, and a higher price is ob- tained, as itis hard to sell ,smali lots of pine to advantage unless there is more in the immediate vicinity which can be cut at the same time The cruisers’ appraisment of value is not always accepted by the auditor. He is forbidden by law to sell at a lower price, but heis frequently led | by his knowledge of the general de- sirability of a particular tractAo raise the estimates of value. Where there | is competition the sale price is always above the appraisal. ‘There are one or two tracts in the | list now advertised for sale which do uot literally comply with these gen- eral conditions, but there is always some good reason for the offering. The section which contains upwards of five million feet for example is} near Hibbing in St. Louis county, and thereisa prospect for a small percentage of waste by theft an- | nually. The timber is grown and | the slow increase would not overcome | the loss if held. Another large tract ; is near Virginia.

Then} they will put in some time among the camps where state Litr i being cut and later will ve i scale on tracts that do not come up to the estimates. Under the law, tracts estimated as containing less than one hundred thousand feet will be sold for cash at the time of sale, the price being fixed by the estimate. Where the estimate exceeds one hun- dred tiiousand feet the pine will be settled for upon the scale of the sur- veyor general. Ordinarily there isa very small variation between the estimate and the scale and where this rule proves true there is no attempt at verification. When there is any very wide discrepancy the cruisers makea “stump and top scale” and arrive at approximately correct re- sults. The whole systen is surround- ed by all possible safeguards, and as long as the law is being honestly administered as it is to-day, is is safe tosay that the state will get the largest possible income out of its re- maining pine.
