over three and half millions acres for
the paltry sum of a little over seventeen
thousand dollars. Most of this land
was bought BY capitalists, and the peo-
pie who buy it hereafter will have to
pay we'll for it. This land should have
been kept and sold in small tracts to
actual settlers. The time is rapidly
coming when the growing population OF
the State will need this land to settle
