price of SO per acre. when others had
gone there prepared to bid higher
prices for the land.
Said Sale Was illegal,
The attorney called for the original
letter Of former Commissioner Laxdal
in which the latter explained Mr.. Nc
Gamma held the leases for the land and
aid not file the release Of these leases
till late in the day.
Attorney McEnroe argued that the
commissioner, having passed this land
could not legally have sold IT. He
commended that the provision through
which the commissioner is entitled to
sell land at the minimum amount an
piled only to tracts which had been Of
fered for sale and had not been hidden
upon.
The attorney commended that the sale
Of this section was illegal that the
tract had been passed, that the public
had no opportunity to bid, and that
the board should set aside the sale.
Burke Switched.
Governor Burke, in the meantime
had changed his mind. At the com
mencemen. Of the session at 10 o'cloc !,
this morning he opposed any DO 4tpone-
ment of the hearing but at 11:4O he
suggested an adjournment till the next
meeting of the board which win be

The Forum Men.
Letters had been sent by Commits
sioner Macdonald to Manager Plumley
and Managing Editor Brewer of THE

and Is self-explanatory
Fargo, N. D., March 30.--Alex Me-
Donald, commissioner Of public lands.
Bismarck, N. d. Dear Sir: We are
in receipt OF your registered letter sIle-
costing that we have the opportunity
TO appear before the board Of univer-
sity and public school lands at a spe-
cial meeting to be held az Bismarck
March 81, 1910, and give any inforna-
ton we wish concerning school lands.
and frauds.
Since the receipt of those letters we
have both been placed under arrest on
charges Of criminal libel. The actions
We're instituted, according to The Far
go Daily News. at the direction of
Governor Burke, who is chairman of
the board and one of the men alleged to
have been criminally libelled.
This creates such a situation that
renders 1t unwise for us to make pub
lie at this time any information we
may have.
Governor Burke's action, il the Far
go morning paper is correct, whether
Intentional or otherwise, has been sue
cessfui ar least in postponing further
by us on matters pertaining
70 alleged frauds In connection with
school land sales, until after the court
hearing in the libel cases.
Yours respectfully,
FL. g. Plurnley. Manager.
Chas. Brewer. Managing Editor.

little reaction from the high of the

al shipments from Argentine and re-
ported rains in the southwestern part

lay. Corn was steady at the start
