The Black Hills forest reserve, the

a unique industry.
1t is Capt. Bullock's plan to smooth
over every burnt spot in the reserve

The Keystone property that adjoins

LAND BRINGS "A GOOD PRICE.
State Capitol Lands in Mcpherson
County Sell at $40 to sis Per Acre,


The sale of state building lands in
McPherson county was a most salts
factory one to the members of the
3 state capitol commission. While the
lands offered were appraised at from
$40 to SIS per acre, the sale price was
above that figure. the tracts offered
bringing 1916 above the appraised
price. The highest price paid for any
one tract was $15 per acre, and num-
Der of sales were made above the $40
minimum.
Commissioner Bach reports that he
could have sold q least twice as much
land had it not been for the fact that
the farmers have been delayed in
threshlng operations and are not just
now in position 10 purchase. Before he
left Euraka number of German farm
ers asked that he make a second offer
ing OF lands there at later date, after
they had marketed their summer crop.
While the lands were sold with an OBJ
tlon OF three payments, over half the
land purchased was paid for in cash.
One point shows what kind of land
was offered, it being that all of it was
taken by residents or land owners in
the county. who bought adjoining
tracts to land they already own and
farm. They bought because they knew
just what they were getting, and it
was not matter of speculation on
their part Offerings will be made in
Faulk and Hyde counties this week,
and good sales are looked for.

extension from this end while the
bridge is in for the winter.
