TEXAS AND rAcirIc LAND Trust.
Proceeds and Disbursements for tho
Year 1897.

HrOcceus ana Disbursements Tor the
Year 1897
According to the New York Journal of
Commerce the annual report Of the Texas
and Pacific Land trust for the year ending
December 81. 1897. has been made, and
gives total receipts for the year as s7l-
256. The report says:
Expenses. including taxes and every
thing properly chargcable to the year,
amounted 10 S56,S6D. Tho surplus OF Sis.-
$50 was applied to reduction OF the indeht-
edness of the trust. The arount received
In rentals for grazing lands WAS $4,000.
against SSS,52S, the result in part of the
rainfall which restored pasturaisc and in-
creased tho demand for grazing rights.
Taxes amounted to SaI.aS7. or about .
mills per acre. Sales of land in 1897 In
rcr acre and forty-seven lots. the latter
bringing $3.50.
The assets OF the company amount to
1902, 4ls acres Of land distributed in forty
four counties Contract obligations of the
face value OF s23S97. bills receivable SILL
49, and cash $4334: also, $4,000 of Texas
Pacific land grant bonds. The liabilities
amount to S2a6,s92 Texas Pacific land se-
curities; S9.255o15 trust certificates. S60.-
600 loan from Central TRUST company, and
S33,233 COMPENSATION due trustees and
agents Land values are abuormally low
III lne western seCtlOU OF tno StdiS. inc
legislature two years ago reduced price OF
practically all the State lands in the west
ern section from 81 to 81 per acre. and
they are now offered to actual settlers at
81 per acre, one-tortieth of the purchase
price To be paid at the time of purchase
and the remainder in payments extending
over forty years, with interest at per
cent per annunl.
These are prices with which the private
land owner cen not compete. but 1T is to
be expected that they will produce rapid
sales and that the time is not far distant
when the State will have disposed of all It's
lands of value. after which private lards
will increase RAPIDLY in value. Cattlemen
find 1t more economical to lease than to
own pastures. The current rental of State
lands is cents per acre per annum. which
practically determines the rental on sim
ilarly located private lands. Less than 46
per cent of the company's lands are now
under lease. but 1t is believed that the
amount will increase. Several new lines
of railway are being built through the
western portion of the State and will prove
of advantage to the property"
