Decision Reached by the Land
Commissioners After a Sey-
eral Days Session.
ABOUT 1000, ACRES
APPRAISED BELOW VALUE
Board Loans $4,000 to Two
Irrigation Companies; Will
Buy City Warrants.

All State lands arc to be reap
State board of land commissioners,
which has been in session for several
days The State still has about 2,000,-
coo acres and the members of the board
claim that much of this is appraised
at far below its value. The reap
praisement will affect practically all OF
this. The work OF fixing the value of
these lands has already been started Ill
some counties and the entire work will
occupy some months. In the meantime
no offers for any part of these lands
will be considered at a less price than
$3.50 per acre. At the meeting Of the
board Thursday the following resolu-
tlon was passed;
been appraised at price far below
It's present value, (some of said land be-
ing appraised as low as five cents per
acre., thus requiring reappraisement
OF practically all State lands. OF which
there yet remains about 100000 acres.
And.
seh VII sRpraTsspS Ts1%ne aaa Several
months time of the board; therefore be
Resolved, that until further order OF
be considered unless the applicant VIII
offer at least $3.50 per acre for land ap-
praised at $3.50 per acre or less. and
Will offer at least the appraised value
for lands appraised at above $3.50 per
acre.
The board authorized a loan Of So
900 to the Deseret Irrigation company
and the Melville Irrigation company
both of Millard county. The loan is
made for the pupose of enabling the
companies TO complete their reservoir,
which is known rs the Sewer Bridge
reservoir, and which is partly in Juab
county, The loan is at the rate of D
per cent interest,
The board also agreed 10 buy from
S. Birch, who holds city contracts for
Improvements, some 100000 worth of
city warrants if the attorney of the
board reports favorably upon them.
They refused TO touch city scrip UNI
less converted into warrants. The OBJ
lection to scrip is the amounts in which
1t is issued. being too small to bother
with. The banks hold the same objcc
tion to the scrip, which is rather a
drug on the hands of contractor.

V, s. Peet. who evidently has had much
experience in spreading the principles OF
Presbyterianism. spoke TO the Saints of
Forest Dale in their handsome meeting

Utah Is Misrerresented.' Since Mr Peet
quoted literally from The Tribune OF re-
cent years. il may be that some will dis
agree with him as to the correctness OF
his remarks.
Mr.. Peet read u great deal from the
Presbyterian pamphlets. His voice was
unpleasant and, Judging from the many
times he would cry out, NOW listen y

his audience.
After Mr.. Peet had finished his readings
he tossed all books but one aside and an
