But One SALE OF
School Lands ON
COUNTY AUDITORS THINK BEST
THAT SALES be POSTPONED
FOR A TIME.
Billings County 10 Only Place Where
Lands will be Offered for Sale
Being Appraised Now.

There will be but one sale OF
school lands this fall and that will
be held in Billings county near Beach.
Tho poard of school and university
Knds wrote to all the county auditors
in the state asking their opinion OF
the advisability of holding sales OF
school lands this fall and almost with
out exception the board was advised
TO postpone the sales until next fall.
The idea in doing this is to give the
farmers themselves chance to get
the land. Were the sales held this
fall, there are a number of farmers
who would not feel like making the
investment, but there is no doubt but
what the spectators would consider
it a good chance to get some cheap
land and then in after years make
the farmers pay a good price for 1t.
The land in Billings county is being
appraised now, and as there were fine
CROPS in that section of the country
there will undoubtedly be some very
spirited bidding for the land that is
offered for sale.> -

The presidents activity in canvass
ing the situation for supreme court
material has led to renewal of the
reports that he may call the senate
in extraordinary session to confirm his
nominations in October. When this
matter came up last, the president de-
clared that he wanted to make his ap.
pointments to the bench in the regular
way and have the mcon4rmed at the
regular sessions of the senate. There
is said to be no change in the presi'
dents attitude with reference to let
ting the supreme court appointments
wait utnil the regular session of con-
gress convenes. The Enabling act,
which permits Justice Moody to re.
tire, does not expire until Nov. Is.
The latter has definitely stated to
the president his intention to retire.
The president, tomorrow afternoon,
will officiate at the laying of the cor
ner stone of the new Beverly Y. M.
c. A. building.

Horace, Kan, Aug. 3O.-Through the
heart of Colorado and into the west
ern edge of Kansas, Roosevelt trav'
eled today on one of the longest jumps
of his western tour. He left his train
only once during the day at Pueblo,
Col, to lay the corner stone of the
Y. M. C. A. building, and tonight he
crossed Kansas on his way to Osa-
wantomie, John Browns old home,
where he is to speak tomorrow.
The people who turned out to see
the former president and hear his plat
form speeches were as cordial as those
who met him on former days Of his
trip although most of the days jour-
ney was through sparsely settled coun-
try.
The scene at Sugar City, COL, was
a typical one. Sugar City is a little
village not many miles from the Kan
sas line, where people raise sugar
beets. Perhaps two hundred persons
had collected at this small station.
On both sides of the railroad tracks,
the countryside stretched out In un-
broken monotony to the sky line. The
noisy, enthusiastic crowd of men and
women, their faced bronzed from ex-
posure to the prairie storms, yelled
with delight as the colonel emerged
from his car.
Its good to be here and see you
men and women of the west," said
the colonel, his face beaming with
pleasure. Here l see an army but
ton," he said, directing attention to
.;,eteran who stood a short distance
from him. "You did pretty well to
fight for this country. 1t Is worth
fighting for. There are plenty OF
things that can be made better and

we will fight for them as you did in
the civil war. We will fight against
corruption. But remember that the
country gives up union of men that
are superior to any of the people OF
the worlds
AS the train pulled out, Roosevelt
grasped some of the hands that were
eagerly thrust above the railing OF
his private car. There we're similar
scenes at a dozen places along the
line during the day. Wherever he
stopped the colonel talked. to people
about honesty and good citizenship,
and was always cheered for what he
said. People Of Ordway stocked the
entire train with watermelons and
canteloupes grown on the spot. They
had sign at the station Informing
everyone that Ordway is the best town
in the Arkansas valley.
Clifford Pinchot, former chief forest
er, and James r. Garfield, former sec
retary of the interior, travelled with
Roosevelt all day. Governor Stubbs
of Kansas is to join the party early
in the morning, and go on to OsaWa-
tonne.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for celebrations at Osawatonie.
There is to be a parade OF United
States troops, National Guardsmen
and Grand Army veterans. There will
be two band concerts, luncheon and
a dinner. In the afternoon Governor
Stubbs is to make a speech i1troduc-
ing Roosevelt, at twenty-five acre
park, on. the spot where John Brown
fought the Missouri leaders on Aug. 30,
1856. When Roosevelt spoke in Pueb-
10 today, Representative Martin of
Pueblo, a democrat, was on the plat
form.

abolation of personal property taxa
