land made:

A few small pieces OF pine stumpage
were offered, and bought at the APP
praised value. c. B. Buchanan
bought a little pine in the Hilman
brook country for 800. and I. E..
Staples bought some in the north
western part of the county for $l45.
The work of the appraisers was
very unsa tisfactOry to the state
auditor. He said. they had ample
time to finish the work in Morrison
county, and he much regretted that
all the land could not be offered. He
had ordered tlrem to quit work in
time to send in their lists for this sale,
but they were still out, however.
Some of their estimates OF land were
amusing, going into fractions OF
cents in appraising the value. Such
prices as $7.s7h, $l9.12A. $3.50, $6.62A,
were frequent. No bids are ever coz
sidered by the auditor that arc
smaller fractions of dollar than a
quarter. 1t takes pretty good dis
crimination to detect the extra \
cent in value per acre. Some Of the
land was assessed absurdlyi high,
but as, the land was mostly re-
deemed, that did no great harm.

system claims that its Inauguration

coed sevpnty-five cents, and to nearer
points the charge will be less. With
the Little Falls system there will
