Brand Rapids Preraiae' Review Published Every Wednesday By E. C. KILEY. TWO DOLLARS A YEAR IN ADVANCE Entered at the Postoffice at Grand Rapids, Minnesota, as Second. Class Matter. THE HERALD-REVIEW ISTHE Official Paper of Irasca County. | RRAND RaPrDs, COHASSET. KEEWATIN, NASHWAUK, HoLMAN, Official Paper of U. S. District Court in Bankruptcy Proceedings. Official Paper of Village of State Senator D. M. Gunn closes his term with the nowledge that he has made good. His district should not be slow in acnowledging the many public victories of its most influential citizen — Mesaba Ore, Hibbing. Now THE Independent man is mad at Auditor Iverson because that able and conscientious official recognizes the Herald-Review as the leading pa- paper in Itasca county aod publishes the list of public lands to be sold here June 30 in this great family neces- sity. Mr. Iverson has done jnst as all other officials do in such matters—-he selects the paper that gives the best service; the paper that reaches the people; the paper that is read aby everybody in the county and many hundreds outside the county. Auditor Iverson knows his business all right, all right. The Independent’s claim that it is a Republican paper isn’t true. It has no principles and no politics. It has no standing either in on any of these products at the coun- which will take place at’the Agricul- r out of the county. “Granp Rapips has already quali- fied as.a hustler and it needs only the joining of rails to make it a real range town.” What do you think of that? It’s from the Hibbing Tri- bune. Why, bless your benighted vision, Grand Rapids is THE real range. town today. Of course they’re not undermining us, but they’re mining all about us. WueEn Timid Tony says that the editor of the Herald-Review ‘was elected last summer aga contesting delegate to the Democratic state con- vention.” he says that which is not true. Mr. Kiley was elected from his precinct by a majority of the votes cast as 2 delegate to the county con- vention, and there was elected by a maiority of the delegates to the state convention, which he attended and took part in the deliberations. There was no contest about it. The Bryan forces in this county won out against the Johnson forces, and while the state convention was overwhelmingly Johnson, the Bryan delegates were seated, the “contesting” fellows being ignored, Tony, is it impossible for you torrint a factas the fact is? Try, just once.

From 10c to HOW STATE SCHOOL LANDS ARE SOLD Summary of Law and Regulations Governing the Sale of School Lands are Given BY STATE AUDITOR SG. WERSON Information that Should Be Careful- ly Perused by Prospective Buy- ers at the Sale Advertised at Grand Rapids, June 30. All state school lands suitable for agricultural puproses are sold in the manner and on terms as follows: Lands are first appraised. No sale can be made for less than the ap- praised price, which cannot be less than five dollars per acre, and may be higher. Four weeks’ notice of sale is given by publication in a newspaper published at the county seat, and ina St. Paul newspaper. The advertise- mentof the sale contains the legal description of every tract of land to be offered. The lands so advertised are then offered forsale at the county in which the lands are situated, and are sold at public auction to the high- est bidder. No bid can be received for less than the appraised price. Where it is not convenient for part- ies to attend the sale they may arrange to have some one present and bid for them. But if parties who wish to purchase are unable toattend the sale and have some one else pre- sent to bid for them they must have their money there to be paid on the day of thesale. Ifa party bids io land and refuses to make payment; 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 anv tract or participating further in the sale. The state pro- poses that there shall bea square deal. Lands are sold in 40-acre tracts where requested. Not more than 160 acres can be put up and auctioned off at one time. The state employs no agents and pays n0 commissions. The state is unable to furnish for distribution detailed descriptions of the tracts offered, ora map showing the land. By calling at the state auditor’s office at the capitol, St. Paul, access may be had to the re- ports of the appraisers who have ex- amined thelands. The state employs no one tosbow the lands; the pros- pective purchaser must look them up on his own account. Lists of lands offered will be furnished upon appli- cation. Fifteen percent of the pur- chase price and interest on the un- paid balance of the purchase money from the date of the sale to June Ist following, must be paid at the time of the sale; the balance can run for forty years on interest at 4 per cent per annum, payable annually in ad- vance on June Ist each year, provided the principal remains unpaid for ten years. If the principal is paid in full before the expiration of ten years, the rate of interest to be paid is 5 percent. The priscipal can be paid atany time—all at once orin partial payments, at the pleasure of the purchaser, subject tu the before- mentioned provisions as to the rate of interest. The state issues certifi- cates of purchase to the purchaser of state lands, which are assignable, and should be recorded in the county. Not more than 320 acres can be sold or contracted to be sold to any one purchaser. Within fiye years of the date of sale the purchaser or his assigns must perform at least one of the following requirements: (1) Fence at least 25 percent of said tract for pasture and convert such portion into pasture land, or (2) cultivate at least 5 percent of said tract, or (3) build a house and act- ually reside upon said tract fora period of twelve months. All payments of principal or in- terest must be made tothe county treasurer of the county in which the land is situated. No lands can be sold at private sale.. The state reserves the mineral on all its lands. A SPRAYING CALENDAR FOR FARMERS, FRUIT GROWERS AND GARDENERS.
