the minimum price. Tie law reguIat-
ing the sale Of school land is as fol-
lows:
Whenever twenty hOusehOlders OF
any organized township in which the
land IS situated shall petition the Su-
perintendent OF public instruction Of
such county to expose to sale any pOr-
ton or portions Of said land, descrfb-
ing the same, he shall, by and with
the consent Of the county cOo:mis
siOners OF his county, appoint in writ
ing three disinterested hOusehOlders
residing in the county In which the
land IS situated, who, being first duly
sworn by an officer authOrized to
administer Oaths to faithfully perform
their duties, shall appraise sueh legal
subdivision OF said land separately at
its real value, and return their ap-
pTaisement in writing, signed by them
to the clerk Of TIA county, AM in case
any parcel Of the said lands shall have
shall in addition to the appTais,sIIent
Of the land, return and file with the
same separate appraisement Of the
improvements upon the land; prOvid-
ed, that no apraisemCnt OF the land
for less than Joe dollar and twenty
Eve cents shall Oe # any validity or
entitle any person to the provisions o.
this act"
In order to accomplish the sale Of
the land at the minimum price, the
the 4OpEhd paper 6OGS OA
to say that collusion OF some sort was
often necessary, and il sums up the
way il has been done in some places
in the following language:
The county superintendent must ap-
point a board Of appraisers who viii
fix the minimum as the value, and
then when the lands are offered for
sale in response to the petition, there
must be no competitive bidding
against the man who is figuring on
getting the land In this way the
land can be knocked down at either
the minimum or a very low price
Another way by which competition
is frozen out is through the appratse-
ment Of the improvement on the land,
If there is any, at a very high figure
For example, a man may have leased
a piece Of school land and built a
house thereon. He decides to buy the
land, and through the assistance OF
friendly appraisers the value Of the
land is fixed at S1.25 per acre, and
the value of his $500 house is set at
81, 600. The occupant OF the land and
owner OF the buildings can afford to
bid $4,000 for the house because the
money all comes back to him, while
no one else could afford to pay that
price.
State Auditor Seth Wells said today:
zone reason why the land does not
bring such a high average price per
acre, as in years past, is because all
the good land is taken, and the land
now being bought is the less desir-
able portions. There are some OF
these western Kansas counties, where
the whole county could be bought
for about SL25 per acre"

MARKET Is STEADY.
Big Run Is Not Expected This Fan,
on Account OF Local Feeding


Stock Yards, Kansas City, Aug 81.
Cattle receipts yesterday and today
are more nearly up to the August
standard than we have been getting
so FAR this month, 1000 head for
the two days. The month to date
shows a shortage Of 10000 cattle and
5000 calves from same period a year
ago, and the impression is growing
that we are not likely to have any
extra big runs this fall There are
plenty Of cattle in the country, par
tcularly west Of here, but this year
the biggest yield Of corn is also in the
west, and many cattle will go right
on feed without coming to market
This arrangement may be beneficial
all around, as IL viii do away with
any congestion this fall, make a more
steady market, and elevate prices
somewhat 1t will also insure a good
run next winter, enabling packers to
run their plants steadily, and nearer
their capacity than heretofore The
trade is keyed up TO handle large re-
cepts, the market is strong and active
each day, grass steers being the one
exception, tendency on that class
toward lower prices, Is to % cents
on in the last week. Cows and heif-
ers are selling good and veals are a
quarter higher this week. Top beef
steers sold at $40 yesterday, for part
Of a load Of fancy steers, top today
$6-15, straight grass steers Of good

mon steers $40 to $3.50, Kansas
grazed steers $3.50 to S4.25, good
heifers $3.50 to s4.75, grass COWS
$2-75 to $3.75, bulls $2.25 to $500,
veals up to $3.50 today, heavy ones
around 1915, choice feeders $4-25 to
$4.75, fair to good $3.50 to S4.25s
stock steers $3.50 to S4-25. Trade in
country grades is healthy, but not ex-
ira snappy.
Hogs are stronger this week, mar
ket up to 10 cents yesterday, shade
higher today, top S6.377z, bulk $500
to S6.325z The same relative stand
ing rules as a week ago, in regard to
prices for weights except that heavies
are a shade farther behind the lead
ers $50 to $6.25 today. August
heavies so far are IS per cent heavier
than same time last August, run H.
600 today, and the rising market in
the face Of this condition speaks well
for the demand. Shippers are being
advised to be on the alert for breaks.
Increased receipts Of sheep and
lambs are relieving the heavy demand
for feeding and breeding stuff little,
market strong, killing grades also
firm. Spring lambs sold at $3.50 to-
day, native muttons $3.50, yearling
WetherS and ewes for the country,
IdahOs at $3.50, feeders around $3.50,
breeding ewes anywhere from $500
to $500, feeding lambs $500. Sup
ply last week $4,000, Of which 10000
went to the country, run today 1000
about the same yesterday.

Valuable Family Horse OF Clark
Shimeau Gone Since the goth.
The sOrreI family horse belonging
to the Shimeau family disappeared
from the ShimeaIl feed yard on the
night Of August 20, and has not been
heard OF since The same night a
saddle and bride was taken from the
old Lemmer place just south OF town,
and the inference is, that the same
person took both properties
Thursday Sheriff Bradley sent print
ed postal cards over this part OF the
country to find some clue Of the miss
ing animal, offering a reward for the
return OF tn horse and the apprehen-
sion Of the thief
On Wednesday night some malici-
Gus person opened the gate in the
Potter corral adjoining the livery
barn and let out fifteen head Of liv-
cry horses belonging to the Potter
barn. When morning came and the
horses were gone, Mr.. Potter was IN
able to turn out the six or seven rigs
engaged by the real estate and land
men, A search was made and the
horses found six miles northeast Of
town. They were tracked along the
road northeast, without any apparent
spreading from the way, and il looks
as though some Of them were led or
that they were driven away. All at
once they stopped in their course and
spread out upon the prairie for graz
ing

West were liberated from the yard
where they were kept

SOLD IT AT LOW FIGURES
SCHOOL LANDS BROUGHT ONLY
S2.S3 LAST YEAR.
For 1Os,s7s Acres the State Received
S22S, 311-SheTman Better
Than Average.

The Kansas school lands seem to
be on the bargain counter, according
TO the report through the Topeka
State Journal, based on the report
now completed by Captain A Gibson,
in charge Of the school land depart
ment in the state auditors Office But
this cannot be said to be true with re-
ference to the school land that has
been sold in the last year in Sherman
county. Taking the state as a whole,
the school land has sold at an aver
age price Of S2-33 per acre, during the
year ending June 30 1906 as COM
pared with $3.50 in 1905, and an aV-
craze Of $3.50, since 1865 Sherman
county, therefore, in the purchase OF
school lands from the state has ex-
ceeded these averages by a consider
able margin. From June 80, 1905
to June 80, 1906, 1880 acres Of the
! ket in this county and Sold the pur-
chase price Of these various tracts
being S3O,692, which makes an aver
age Of S4.21 per acre
During the fiscal year 1906 the
state has issued SOS patents to land,
covering 1898 acres for which
the state received for the school fund
the sum Of $233, 311.42, thus making
the average price 1888 per acre.
In the year 1905 there were 49,
414.21 acres patented, yielding a rev.
enue for the school fund Of $1S3,8S2,-
Is, making the average price per acre
$3.50.
State Normal school land, which
sells at a higher price than state
school land, brought an average Of
$500 per acre last year, but this was
a falling of Of S4-34 since 1905, when
the average price was S12-54. The
total number OF acres Of normal
school land patented in 1906 was
1,119.69 acres, against $40 acres in
1905, and the money received was
$3.50 compared with 5000 in 1905.
Out Of the los counties in the state,
land was patented during the past
year in Y counties. The most pat
ents were issued to Ness county land,
where 81 different transactions are on
the books, aggregating 7,592.S7 acres,
the price paid for the same being
$14, 2O6.39. In TregO county, which
was second on the list IS patents were
issued.
In some Of the counties the school
land was knocked off for the very
lowest figure which the law allows
$1.25 per acre This was true, for ex-
ample in Haskell county, where 2,4OO
acres Of land were sold for $4,000.
An effort was made at the last ses-
sion Of the legislature to either with
draw the land from the market or
raise the minimum price, but the
western Kansas people were afraid it
would check the settlement of their
section of the state, and the measure
was defeated. The result is that va
rious expedients are resOrted to to ac-
complish the sale Of school land at

The milliners OF GOOdland are up in

that lady from Iowa was in town
that week and desired to put in an

that the Record was sOrry she could
not secure a location because an up
