Stevenson Reservation. Sold.

Bismarck Tribune: The Fort
Stevenson abandoned military
reservation was sold in its entirety
on the first day Of the sale to all
eastern syndicate, represented by
L. c. Black, law partner of Sena-
tor j. B. Foraker of Cincinnati.
Others interested in the sale were.
Assistant U. S. Treasurer Bos-
worth of Cincinnati and w. Won
Steinwehr Of the same city. Reg
lister McGillivray Of the land office
auctioned off the entire 1920 tracts
at the land office between 10 O'Clock
in the morning and 4 o'clock in
the afternoon of the first day OF
the sale, making a record as ali
auctioneer of public land that is
hard to beat. For the greater part
of the reserve land there vas no
opposition in the bidding to Mr..
Black. AS each tract was called
he made an offer Of the appraised
value of the land and it was
knocked down to him at that fig
ure. There was a number OF
other bidders present, anxious to
get a share of the land for ranch
purposes but Mr.. Black did not
purpose to. be outbidden and
when competition developed for
amy of the land, he rapidly ran the
price up, until in one or two in
stances it reached over SIS an acre.
There was plenty Of cash present
among the other bidders to pay
for a good slice of the land if it
could have been obtained, but
Mr.. Black outreacLed all his COM
petitors and one by one the other
bidders dropped out.
When the sale was concluded,
all of the land had been Knocked
down to MIR. Black. Peter Bore1
of Mercer county bought one tract
of forty acres but when it was
impossible for him to buy any
more land, he resolved it to MIR.
Black, who thus completed the
purchase Of the entire reserve. A
number of stockmen living in the
vicinity We're present, hoping to be
able to obtain some Of the land
for range and hay land but they
were disappointed.
This afternoon Mr.. Black gave
Receiver Satterlund a check for
$7l. 1906. on the United States
depository at Fargo, for the land
purchased. There was a total Of
$685. acres of land in the re-
serve, but one homestead of l50.73
acres was not sold, leaving a bal
ance of 45,435.O2 acres of land in
Guided in the sale. This brought
an average Of about SLIGO an acre.
The total amount realized was
about $1,000 over the appraised
value, and the officials Of the land
office, Register McGillivray and
Receiver John Satterlund have
conducted the sale at the best adj
vantage to the government. The
sale Of 1920 descriptions Of prop
erty separately in a little less than
four hours is something that is
seldom accomplished. There are
about 25,O0O acres of the land
in Mclean county and 10000
acres in Mercer county and this
property will go on the tax rolls
Of the two counties, for assess
ment.
