estate Of James G. Fair has been sold.
The amount was about $50 600 tons,
and the purchasers were George W

six ships to San Francisco to transport
portion of this wheat, and had also
under charter nearly all the grain-Ships
due to arrive there for sixty days
They are said to have paid from 81 to
S21a cents per GENITAL, while Fair paid
for the wheat all the way from 81 10

The School Land Law.

The law regarding the sale of school
lands provides for payments runnir
through several years at per cent. intel
est, payable annually in advance, but al
lows the purchaser to make payment in
full at any time he desires by paying
years interest in advance. During tho
time Maj. Ruth was Commissioner OF
Lands he held that if purchaser who had
paid his interest on January decided at
any time in the year to pay the full pur-
chase price he must pay full year in adj
vance of the date of purchase taking no
account of the interest already PAID to the
end of the year in which the purchase was
made, and virtually collecting interest
twice for the portion of the year remain-
ing. Commissioner Lockhart has changed
the ruling to apply to only enough time to
make full year after deducting advance
interest already paid. That is, if a pur-
chaser pays his interest for year in adj
vance OH January and on July desires
to pay in full he is credited with the SIX
months paid, and interest is collected only
for six months more.
