This week the County Treasurer sold
the whole of section 16, townI, range
20, to Miss Cora Helvie, for the sum of
S4,84C. The average price per quarter
was SI,21O. One 40 acre tract went as
high a Sl4 per acre, The total sec
ton was appraised Tor IS, 1876, or S7s9, -
20 per quarter. The total sale of the
whole section above the appraised val
ne was 81, $40, or S4l1.22 per. quarter,
being about an average OF s. 90 per
acre above the appraised valuation.
This is aIher poor guessing on the part
OF The appraisers, but they perhaps did
not lake into consideration the increased
impetus of immigration and the baom
caused by railroad prospects. How
ever, We would uggest to all parties
who are called upon to appraise school
land in this county hereafter, to jog
their memory with the fact that lands
are rapidly incl easing in value in this
county, AID that it is their duty to ap-
praise the lands al what they are really
worth. Should you be il doubt about
a correct price, ask yourselves what
you would take for your own farms F.;
and from that amount deduct the value
of your Improvements and yoU viii ar
rive at pretty fair and reasonable con
clusion. The County Superintendent
also should be careful to appoint
wholly disinterested parties as apprais-
ers, and men OF good business judgment.
