There is no reason. III the opinion Ot
the board, why the distric. shoult
not be made as prosperous as the
Panhandle of Texas or Western KAN
sas.
Under an old appraDsemcnr Gf The
land department, some of CiA!arrOr
countys so-called agricultural land
was valued at $40 per acre. Other
tracts in the grazing class went as
low as soc per acre. The $40 land
is exclusively appraised. If the
ment with ordering a new appraise-
board concludes to make rpadjust-
ment, which probably will be done,
the maximum will likely reach SO.
In buying Texas land the purchaser
may obtain a maximum of four sec
tions. In Oklahoma the law allows
the commission to sell a maximum
Ct two sections of the grazing class
to each individual. 1t probably will
be rule of the board that all mem
Ders of family who are q years of
age and over may purchase maxi
mum of two sections, and in the alb
sence of fixed statute, it is be-
lieved such rule will meet the situa.
ton. Thus, family of five can ac.
qulre ten sections, or 6,4O0 acres.
Big Ranchers are Protesting.
Grazing land is leased by the state
at &c per acre, adding about $25. 900
year to the school fund. These
leases carry no preference right no
Improvement right, and are subject
to cancellation by the board without
cause. If improvements are added to
the property they must be removed
by the date of sale or they go with
the land to the purchaser. In leas-
ing grazing land. the board made
rules that took care of the small
cattleman, in that at all times he was
TO have enough grass to run his
stock. The big lessee with twenty or
thirty sections of state-owned range
was to surrender portion OF his
lease when the small man needed it.
providing it did not materially affect
the original lessee, and. in making
the surrender no more than Sc per
acre was to be charged by the orig
inal lessee. In the last word it be-
came a sort of gentlemans agree

departments records show was never

particular is behind the idea the land
commissioners have been unable to
learn, but it developed that both the
/ cattle and sheepmen leasing state land
in large bodies are loud in their pro-
test against putting the property on
the market In New Mexico, where
range is said to be superior to that
in Clmarron county, the grass rate is
&c per acre higher. One of the larg-
est ranchers in that section of Okla
homa told the members of the COM
mission that he could better afford TO
pay Oklahoma 10c per acre for short
grass than to own the property at soc
per acre and pay the taxes and in
terest. They say it will be a bad
business venture for the state to turn
its holdings loose, that it would be
better for the school fund to gather
$4,000 year without hazard than
to go into the installment business
with a chance of having the land
again on its hands in a few years.
1t is a well grounded idea with the
big rancher that the two or four-sec.
ton plan will not be profitable in
much of Cimarron county.
N the land is sold the rancher there
today will not necessarily have to
leave. He would continue to lease his
land but from individuals instead OF
the state, perhaps having to pay a
higher rate and receive more consid-
Grafton for his improvements. In
brief, the new condition is not relish
ed by many who have operated In
that section for twenty years. it is
more than likely that it means the
passing OF ranches of immense acre
age.

A number OF big American firms are

possible, and Of course most attractive
terms will be offered TO British settlers
who have the capital necessary for
ranching. Full particulars Of the whole
