FOR SCHOOL FUND aa "ENT BLAND SALE BY STATE AUDITOR DUNN GIVES IT BIG LIFT, MOST SUCCESSFUL EVER HELD NEARLY ONE-HALF OF THE PUR- CUASERS ARE FARMERS FROM 10WA, 51,000,000 FOR THE SCHOOLS RAGE PRICE RECEIVED FoR LAND WAS ABOUT $10 PER ACRE. Minn., Special, Oct. 21. “The sale of state lands concluded Fri- day gives the permanent school fund the Siggest boost it has ever received,” said State Auditor R. G. his residence last evening. Dunn when seen at “About $1,- ©00,000 ts added to the permanent sc i, which will ld an annual inco: of $40,000. In addition to this, the fund receives a large sum from the delinquent st paid just previous to the sale.” e sale was by far the most succe: held by the sta: In all 1 s of land were sold at an average t of $10 per acre. About four-fifths of the lands were school lands. Both-in the price secured and the de- mand for the lands the sale was a record- b ker, Fully 000 more acres could have been sold in Red Lake and Kittson gonties had there been no limit to the (otal that may be sold in any one year. I< was also necessary on this account to tpone until next year the sale of any 4 in Morrison and Benton counties. Walf Are lowa Farmers. Mr. Duan attributes much of the suc- cess of the sale to the extensive adver- tising that was done. In addition to ad- vertising in Minnesota papers, notices of ¢<he sale were published in a prominent Towa paper. As a result, hundreds of uiries were received from farmers of older states. More than 40 per cent «of (he new settlers in the ‘Red river val- . he says, are from Iowa. ‘They are just the kind of settlers the state needs,” said Mr. Dunn. “Having ad their Iowa farms at high prices, they are net only able to purchase larger farms tn Minnesota, but in addition to the machinery and stock they bring to ‘he new farms have sufficient surplus pital to erect substantial buildings and have a bank account. They are well-to- do from the start. The high price receiyed for the lands was due to a large extent to Mr. Dunn's nal action in entirely disregardi (he appraiser's values, the minimum price ¢ which the land could be sold. ance he raised the appraised value at < $1, and in many instances much: ruere an acre. No land was sold for le: than $7 an acre. Heads Off Speculation. nis action was taken by Mr. Dunn wu < the law which gives the state auditor pawer to withdraw any piece of land from 4 wale, when he deems it to the best in of the state to do so. Whenever mum price fixed by him could obtained, the land was withdrawn from ool 0 pers the sale. securing the land without paying an ade- uate price for it. ‘the sale was also a banner one, in the jamount of delinquent interest ‘paid on ands sold in previous years. When the #and is sold a cash payment of 15 per cent fs required. The balance may be paid at uuy time within forty years, and bears 4 quec cent interest. As the interest becomes iefinquent, the lands are resold unless the interest is paid up to date previous to the day of sale. In Polk county alone, about 49,000 delinquent interest was paid the Guy before the sale. Delinquent Interest Paid. Fuily nine-tenths of the land advertis: as delinquent was withdrawn from sale, because of the interest being pald. This brings an immense amount of money into the treasury at once. As'the larger part ef the lands sold are school lands, the permanent school fund will be greatly sided by this item in addition to the pro- ceeds of the sale.

Bright's disez weak heart, manifested about the same time, caused cemplications from which the patient's advanced uge, prevented him from ral- lying. ‘The funeral took place from the Corgregational church Sunday aft noon at 2 o'clock.

Pillsbury’s death as follows: “It becomes my sad duty to announce to the people of Minnesota the death of Hon. John S. Pillsbury, one of our most illustrious and honored citizens. “The conspicuous part taken by Gov. Pillsbury in the material growth and development of Minnesota, his patriotic and distinguished services in important official positions, his generous and oe selfish interest in the welfare of 0 state, and especially in her educational interests, his pure life and exalted character, have brought to him the love, esteem and reverence of every n within } +r borders. t is hence especially fitting that ex- pression of our devotion to the memory of our distinguished fellow citizen, and our deep sense of loss at his death, be publicly manifested, and to that end I direct that the flags upon all state buildings be placed at half mast for a period of thirty days, and that all public business be suspended on the funeral day.” UNUSUAL DEMAND FO State Auditor Has Nearly Sold the Quota and He Cancels the Sales in Two Counties. Owing to the unprecedented demand for state lands and because the law allows the sale of only 100,000 acres in one year, State Auditor Dunn has been obliged to cancel the sales scheduled in Morrison and Benton counties. Mr, Dunn telegraphed from Crooks- ton recently that the sales in Kittson and Red Lake counties would com- plete the disposal of the 100,000 acres. H> had already sold 62,000 acres at the best prices ever realized in Minnesota, and the 38,000 acres to be sold in-Kitt- son and Red Lake counties were eX- pected to be entirely cleaned up. The prices have ranged from §8 to $25 an acre. The most gratifying feature of the sale is that the land has been sold almost exclusively to bona fide homeseekers, and almost half of them non-residents. The counties in which the sales were held have been overrun with homeseekers for several weeks. Hotels have been overcrowded and livery rigs have been at a premium. After Minnesota, the states best rep- resented are Iowa, Wisconsin, Mich- igan, Nebraska, Missouri and Ulinois. R LANDS. TAKE AIRINGS IN RELAYS. , Hundred Coats for the Men at the Soldiers’ Home. The veterans at the Minnesota sol- diers’ home this winter will take their airings in relays. The home board met recently at the home and decided to buy 100 overcoats. The coats will be divided among the cottages. It is be- lieved that 100 coats will be sufficient to enable all the old soldiers who wish to take airings to get out some time during each of the cold days. The board decided to appropriate $5 a month to defray the expenses of ser- vices conducted by priests for Catholic inmates. The matter was called to the attention of the board by a letter from Archbishop Ireland, who suggested a Catholic chaplain. The board felt that it was unable to employ two chaplains, but agreed to defray the actual ‘ex- penses of the priests who visit the home to hold services. Spree Ends in Suicide. Duluth, Minn., Oct. 20. — Carey E. Moulex, a switchman of the Duluth Transfer railway, shot himself through the heart at the Santiago hotel. He had been on a prolonged spree. His wife received a letter from him during the day in which he bade her fare- well. Inclosed with the letter was a re- ceipt for dues on $2,000 insurance in the United Workmen. No State Entomologist. Goy. Van Sant said recently that the appointment of a successor to the late Prof. Otto Lugger, state entomologist, would not be made for some time. In the meantime any of the entomologist’s duties that may require attention will be turned over to some of the mem- bers of the agricultural college faculty. Gov. Van Sant,.who, with Dean Lig- gett of the agricultural school and President Northrop of the state uni- versity, will select the next entomolo- gist, was unable to state when the post will be filled. - Dead lake Sunday. y Unless Oct. .

Chicago, Oct. 22. — It was learned yesterday that the survey recently made for a line of railroad between Minnesota City, Minn., and Paul and Minneapolis, and which has caused much speculation in railroad circles in the Northwest, is not in the interest of either the Chicago Great Western or the Chicago & Northwestern, as has been generally believed. The survey, it is stated, was for an electric line to connect Minnesota City with the Twin Cities, touching many Minnesota towns which are without railroad com- munication with either St. Paul or Minneapoli: The enterprise was pro- moted by St. Paul and Minneapolis parties and the money necessary to complete the line is furnished by Chi- cago and Philadelphia capitalists. Con- struction work will begin next spr Connection will be made with the Twin City Rapid Transit. railway and en- trance thus given to all parts of St. Paul and Minneapoli: The road is undertaken a purely passenger fine CRIPPLE’S BRAVE DE Boy Who Walked With Crutches Saves Child From Drowning.

Sev- eral times while going across the roll- ing logs Edberg came near losing his own lift by drowning. STARTED BY TRAMPS. Hay Lands Are Burning ard the Loss Will Be Enormous. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 22.—Late yes- terday afternoon fire was discovered in the hay lands which surround this city. The flames are burning everything be- fcre them and the firemen are power- less owing to the fire being outside the city limits and beyond water service.

Monster Land Fergus Falls, Minn., Oct. 22.—County Auditor Lincoln finished his computa- tions relative to the state land sale which Auditor Dunn conducted in this county, Saturday; and finds that there were 21,097.46 acres of land disposed of at the sale, and that the ‘otal amount which this acreage brings will be $147,401.40, or almost an even $7 an acre, The amount of cash alreedy received— 15 per cent of the purchase price and interest on the balance to June 1 of next year—is $25,995.45. The sale clears up all the poor land in the county and was probably the greatest sale in the history of the state. Four Poaches Arrested. Jackson, Minn., Oct. 22. -- Saturday afternoon four men, Renz, Colter, Olson and Colimten, were arrested and con- victed of the illegal shooting and sell- ing of game.
