A notice, elsewhere published, an
nounces the sale, at public auction, of
the School and Internal Improvement
lands in this county. on Saturday, May
18th. We have delayed calling special
attention to this subject until the APP
praisers had completed their work, and
as they have about finished, we will
give al the facts we can learn: Under
the law, the sixteenth (l6) and thirty
sixth (S6) section in each township has
been set apart for the support Of Com.
mon Schools, and these lands are known
as School Lands. 1t is also provided
that these lands cannot be appraised or
sold for less than $500 per acre, nor
for less than the appraised value. The
lands are sold by the State Auditor, as
Land Commissioner, and in lots of not
less than forty acres, except in some
special case, or where the lot is frac-
tional one.
All the Internal Improvement Lands
in this county, are situate in the towns
of FramnesS and Sahlmark, and they
comprise some OF the most valuable and
desirable tracts in these towns.
The terms of sale are as follows:
Fifteen per cent. of the amount of the
purchase bid, at the time of sale. for
prairie lands, and twenty to seventy
five per cent. for timber lands, accord
ing to the value of such timber. The
purchaser is allowed, on payment of I
per cent. interest annually in advance,
thirty years time in which to pay the
principal, or he can at any time with
in that period, pay the whole amount
and save the accruing of interest. Both
the State School and Internal Improve
ment Lands are sold on the above terms.
Many desirable tracts will be offered
for sale, and as the terms are such as
to permit any person to invest, it is
thought that large portion, if not all
the lands, will be disposed of. The
investment is most desirable one, as
it enables the purchasers to use their
capital in improving the land.
The appraised value of the lands
ranges from $500 to $4,000 per acre,
according to quality and location, but
the latter sum is the maximum, and is
the value set upon certain tracts adj
joining town, and which are conse-
quently valued in proportion to the
lands adjoining.
The section adjoining the village
townsite, or rather the three forties on
the west side of the section, have been
sub-divided into lots of ten acres each,
so as to place it in the power of per-
sons of limited capital to invest.
