lators to buy valuable pine lands at a mini
mum price, and by combination to pre-
vent open competition. The reports OF this
pool came to the ears of the commissioners,
and they made investigation and found the
pool had bought lands at the minimum
price. They held an auction among them
selves and resold at large advance on the
price. It is said from $50, 600 to $100, 900
above the price realized to the state was Sc

were convinced that fraudulent combina-
zion was made and have set aside the sales.

age funds of the state The action is gener-
ally approved.
