State Auditor Braden says: There will be
comparatively few sales OF state lands dur
ing the coming spring. The sales of school
Ia DIS in any one year are limited by law to
100000 acres. There were in all 1875, 600
acres OF land sold last fall. OF which so, 900
were school lands. The fiscal year com.
mences in August, and consequently no ex
tended sale can be held until next fall.
Sales will probably be held in Lac qui Parle
county, none having ever been held there
and perhaps in two or three other counties
where there were no sales last fall. The de-
mand for the lands never seemed so good
as at present. and were it not for the limi
tation large sales could be made. The re.
ducing OF the interest to per cent has been
an important factor in creating the de
mand."
