When It comes to getting to the

snowbound or whether highways are
drtfted. walking 10 hard. and the tenn
perature way below sero. Sunday
night Mr.. Maytag pulled of q stunt
in walking that was strenuous to say
the least.
Owing to the condition Of railroad
traffic 1t has been hard for Mr.. Maytag
to get from Laurel to this city without
long and tedious delays. He was due
hero this morning for the adjourned
meeting Of the board. Knowing that
trains were late, and to make certain Of
being here. Mr.. Maytag started from
his home Sunday evening. His hired
man hauled him in toward Gilman.
where Mr.. Maytag intended to catch a
train. but it got so late before they had
gone more than part of the distance
that Mr.. Maytag sent the hired man
back home and walked the trifle OF the
remaining six miles to Gilman. There
lie lOUHu the TRAIN SetcTds NOuIS idtc.
Rather than remain at the station depot
Indefinitely in company with John
Smith. cattle breeder who was COM
ing here, Mr.. Maytag started out on the
NJ. & st. L. right -ofway. AS the trains
run 1t is 14.2 miles from Gilman to this
city, but the two men pulled into town
little after midnight. Mr. Maytag
was present when the supervisors met.
He said the walking along the right-of-
way was fairly good excepting for three
or four miles of the distance.
Mr.. Maytag had a less strenuous
walk Saturday in trying to get home
from the county farm, where the board
spent Friday. He expected to get a
State Center branch train home from
State Center. out found that the
branch line was showed in. Then he
drove to Melbourne only to just miss a
Milwaukee passenger train that would
have taken him to Haverhill. So he
walked. the distance being about eleven
miles.

Whe,, Good Land
Sold For a Song

This county has $4,000 which it
lends to thrifty persons who have first
class real estate mortgages to give as
security at rate OF per cent per an
mum interest. The county never touch
es the principal, which is known as the
school fund. The demand for loans Of
this money usually exceeds the supply.
and there is seldom time when every
dollar Of it is not working.
i This fund was made up of money re-
ceived for the sale of farm lands years
ago, when there was land still left in
the county to be homesteaded. It was
made up in part from what were some
Of the first sales Of land made in the
county, excluding of course what might
be termed the sales Of farms by the
government to homesteaders.
Early in the history OF the state one
section OF land in each congressional
township was set aside by the federal
government and apportioned to the
state for school land This 10 the meth
cd Of federal aid for the public school
system. The state was free to sell this
land to whom 1t chose, and at what
ever price 1t could get for It The sales
were made thru an officer known as
the school fund commissioner, who held
Office in each county, i and who nego-
| tiated the sales Of school land In his
county.
Having eighteen congressional town
ships the y commissioners had 1880
acres Of this land to cell. Some Of Il
| was among the best land In the couA4y
and the prices for which Il was bar-
gained appear now to b = mere ri
! lance compared with it, present value.
