The encouragement has at my reques

of the school land law, which has been
the source Of so much interest in all parts
of the western country, and | take pleas
ure in presenting below his opinion. Ii
will be observed that he answers only the
questions presented directly by me. These
questions when presented covered the
main subjects of inquiry which had come
into the office by correspondence. would
suggest, therefore, that all persons who
intend to avail themselves of the great
advantages given them under this prefer
ence cause that they avail themselves of
their preference, and thus avoid cOmpi-
cations which may arise against other par
ties applying to purchase these lands.
These complications are apparent and
ought TO be avoided in all cases where per-
sons desire to repurchase their forfeited
sales. Respectfully presented.

al approval is to organize stock com.
pany with 100, 600 members, each to take
year for five years, thereby furnLshing>a
certain fund to enable the organization
to outline work for that length of time.
General Manderson introduced the fol
lowing resolution, which was adopted:
"Resolved, That the committee named
by the chairman of this meeting, com
posed Of Samuel Rees, A. Hospe, G. n
Powell, o. G. Holmes and G. G. George
be instructed to arrange for meeting ut
gentleman representing different sections
of Nebraska at such time and place as
they may select, and that they present
at such meeting articles of incorporation
of q Nebraska association having for 1tx
object the development Of the state an6
