Immediately after we became q state.
The half million acres the territory
when becoming state received from
the general government was given TO
the school fund. When the commission
ers who went over the state to select it
from unclaimed lands, came to Bad
Ak" county, they selected all the un-
claimed prairie land on Round Prairie,
and wanted timber land also. They
called on John Graham of Springville,
to get information and was given the
number of town, range and section.
They took it and never went to see it.
The land was in the bluffs Of the Coon
river. several miles north of Newton.
When the men who were appointed to
appraise the school lands Isaac Spencer
of Springville was one Of them, went
and viewed the land, they put il down
as worthless in their report to Madison.
The authorities told them to put price
on it and it was made ten cents an acre.
Have forgotten the quantity but think
1t was several sections. Later on, Fl.
Green bought 1t and rumor said he turn.

when he closed out his mercantile busi-
ness at the commencement of the re-
bellion, Just before he went south buy
ing up cotton. The legislature later on
raised the price of all to one dollar and
twenty FIVE cents per acre Very few
pieces were appraised at 81 so per acre,
buying one forty at that price, which
is now worth $75 to 800 per acre. 80
