HOT SPRINGS, S. D.-The state owns

Most of these lands have been apportioned
among the state institutions and the re-

They, cannot be sold for less than $40 an
acre, and much has been leased. mostly
to stcckmen. The number Of acres under

$9S7.6S For the same period Butte
county had 1910 acres under lease.
which produced a revenue of $679.60. 81.
The idea Of retaining these vast acres
is good one for the state, but it is hard
