OF public lands for which ii received

government lands. situated in differ
ent PARTS OF the country Much OF these
lands are susceptible Of agricultural
development Others are heavily tim
bered The schedule of prices is
fixed FOR each state and ranges as
low in some cases as a few cents per
acre. The lands in the state OF Ia
haseo. situated in the extreme south
eastern part of this country, are now
leading in demand, and most of the
government sales during the past few
months have been in that state. The
Tabasco lands are fitted for tropical
