Result Of rorfciturcs, Etc.--De-
cision OF the Commissioners.

Austin, Texas, August 1.-The rush on
the general land Office is assuming gigan-
tic proportions. Aside from the 500 sec
tons OF recovered Houston and Texas Gen.
trail lands In Scurry county. placed on the
market last Saturday. there are $50 sur
veys OF school land forfeited for non-pay-
ment of interest on November /, lsas.
which viii be placed on the market on
September 1. and the inquiry for the latter
Is great.
Commissioner Rogan has with regard to
the Scurry county lands decided, in cases
where persons who had previously leased
from the railroad have purchased the
alternate sections TO permit a release un-
der the thirty-day preference clause Of
the Turney act. Persons who in good faith
settled on these lands prior to May 20,
1885, with a view TO obtaining homestead
donations will be entitled to purchase at
81 per acre cash, as provided by the Tur-
ney act, Persons who have come on the
land since May 80, 1895. will have to pur-
chase under the terms OF the school land
act at the valuation fixed by the commits
sioner Small lease holders can come In
and purchase four sections and protect
themselves
AS 10 the Brewster and Presidio county
lands, recovered from the Galveston, Har-
rtshurg and San Antonio, over which the
biz ranch men, the little ranchmen and
the nesters are scrapping, steps have been
taken to obtain the real facts as 80 the
situation from disinterested sources before
final action Is taken, a number Of appli-
cations 10 purchase some OF these lands
have been received, although they have
not been placed on the market and the
charge is made that the applicants are
sQuaiters upon watered sections, which
they seek 10 take mp At dry grazing land
prices aud that TO let shem have these
sections would render adjoining dry sec
lions vaiueless and unleasah1c and place
the holders of the watered sections in a
position TO sell out their claim at big
proft, while the school fund would suffer
through Inability so lease the dry sections.
Mr. Rogan has instituted inquiries into
these matters and will wait until he Sc
cures the facts with regard thereto before
aispnsing OF the lands.
! The ATTY sections OF Houston and Texas
/ Central lands in Borden county will not be
Z placed on the market until the States land
agents have had an opportunity OF eAar-
( lining and classifying them.
+ Judge Van Sickle OF Brewster county to-
1 day filed written statement with the
/ commissioner detailing the character OF
! the Brewster county lands sought by the
nesiers and showing that watered sections
are what they are after principally.
