The real estate agent who locates in a

Investors insist upon knowing who

many real estate transactions in Pierre

STATE LANDS
Board Meets and Fixes the Terms
on Which Sales Will be Made.

The State Lands Board met last week
and fixed the terms upon which capitol
lands will be offered this year under
the provisions of the law providing for
raising funds for the building. The
proposed plan is for the payment of one
third the purchase price at time of sale,
one-sixth December next; the two pay
ments making one-half the purchase
price. The balance will be in term
loans bearing 61s per cent interest on
the mortgages, which will be sold on
the market. Witha continuance of the
present conditions Of the real estate
market and money conditions the board
feels that it will have no trouble in dis.
posing OF enough Of the lands to put up
the building without the need Of calling
upon the state for the $4,000 appro-
priated an lease of need for next year.
The sale prices on different tracts to be
offered will be fixed by appraisment as
soon as the weather is tit for travelling
over the prairie for the work, and the
commission is not held to $40 mini
mum, as was the case in the lands dis
posed of last year, but the price will
probably be kept as near that figure as
