SCHOOLS PROFIT az LAND SALES
Over $s5o,ooo Added to the Fund in
South Dakota the Present Year.

The sales Of public school lands of
the state this year will bring over
SS50,000 to that fund, making the to-
tai amount loaned to the different
counties and In deferred payments &c.
900, 700.
When the constitution was adopted
the minimum selling price OF the
school lands was placed at $40 an
acre, Those who were pessimistically
inclined opposed this minimum on the
ground that most of the lands would
never bring that price. Since the first
sales the average selling price has in
creased from year to year, until the
sales this ear were at an average Of
$42 an acre. When ali the lands are
disposed of the state will have an
educational fund of about 800, 000, 900,
the interest upon which will be de-
voted to the maintenance of the
schools, and which will be practically
sufficient to maintain them without
local taxation.
The sales reports the present year
are shown by the following table,
which is an indication of the demand
for South Dakota lands. 1t should be
remembered that the prices were for
absolutely raw prairie, and that i'm
proved lands in the same vicinity are
held at from $40 to $40 an acre more.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1909-05-27
Total ......2O,576.s9 sS64.16l.96 $4,000

The highest price received was 800
an acre for a tract in Sphinx county,
near the city Of Redfield. In Mime
haha county one tract was taken at
81, and in Charles Mix n at $73 an
acre.
Up to last year the schools Of the
state had been paid $4,000, 900 as their
share of the income from the funds.
The amount which will be distributed
this year will be over half a million.
Already some of the schools Of the
state are being maintained by this
fund, and the number will increase as
years go by.
Besides the state school lands each
of the different state institutions has
bon given a land endowment, the
revenues from which are already 60
ing a long way in supporting them.
The general government donated the
state practically 1000 acres of such
lands, of which only a very small
amount has been sold. The sales of
this class Of lands this year reached
nearly nine thousand acres at an av-
erage Of $18.72 an acre. These sales,
with those for the common schools,
this year reached over $4,000 acres,
bringing q total return of $1,028, 031.17
into the various funds.

a cause for congratulation far beyond
any merely local sentiment.
