HOW FIREWATER GOT NAME
Test by Which indians Learned TO Die
tinguish Whisky That Was
Diluted.

New York.-When the Hudson Bay
Trading company commenced trading
among the Indians 1t was found that
by selling the Indians liquor they could
more easily be induced to trade their
peltries. The first whisky was brought
to this country in large barrels, but
in transporting it overland, 1t was
found more convenient to divide 1t into
small kegs.
The white traders soon became
aware, according to the American
Wine Press, that by diluting the whisky
with water, more furs could be obtain
ed. This was practiced for some time,
but the Indians learned that good
whisky poured on a fire would cause
1t to flame up, whereas, had the whisky
been diluted, the fire would be
~quenched.

that the term 'flrewater" became a

lanQ department mas OmpieJ us
sales of state school lands for
this year. While the acreage
sold was not so large as last year, the
average price was far above that of
any other year in which sales have
been made.
The sales reached 19,007 acres,
bringing a total of $9S8,05 to the fund,
of which % per cent must be paid in
cash. Many of the purchasers paid the
full amount, and the permanent fund
will be in shape to supply demands
for many of the loans pending.
BY counties the sales were: Davi-
son, 1900 acres at an average OF
$54.30; Hanson, 1856 acres, average
1864; Hutchinson, 2,193 acres, at an
average of $54.S8; Codington, 1898
acres, average 1884; Deuel., 1853
acres, average $27.34; Hamlin. 4,1SO
acres, average $54.93; Day. 1,49S acres,
average 1920; Brown, 759 acres, av.
erage $56.3S, making the general aver
age for the state, $52.03.
Most of this land was purchased by
owners of adjacent tracts and was not
speculative buying. Some of the tracts
went above 500 an acre. At such
prices the school fund of the state will
run into many millions more than the
founders of the state ever dreamed OF
when they placed the minimum selling
price at $40 an acre, with doubts in the
minds of many of them whether much
of it would ever sell at that price.
