School Lands,

Special to the Globe.
YANKroN, Oak, Jan. 23.-The clause
in the Springer Omnibus bill relating to
the disposal of school lands in Dakota
is the most Objectionable feature about
it, and were it not for this the passage
of the bill by the senate would be taken
with good grace. The state should con-
troll the sale of the school lands at mar
ket value, and no more land should be
disposed of than the necessities of the
public schools require, thus allowing
the unsold lands to accumulate in value.
Springer's bill provides for the disposal
of the school lands by presumption at
$1.25 per acre.
