SCHOOL LAND SALE
is A BIG SUCCESS
Going at Good Price and Most of il is
Being Sold Back to the Original
Lessee.
snecial to The world

Special to The World.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept 2-The
school land sale now being conducted
by the school land department is by
far the most successful of any ever
held. In point of valuation of the
land and improvements being sold
there is no comparison with any
previous sale. Consequently the
highest price is being received. A
significant feature of the present sale
is that almost all the land is being
sold back to the lessee, or rather the
lessee is taking at the price bid, he
being given the preference right to
buy at the highest bid. The sales
force will be stationed in Alfalfa
county for the next ten days. or until
the land scheduled for sale there is
disposed of.
Although the appraisement was
placed just as high as possible on the
lands and improvements the highest
bid on all so far is considerably above
the appraised value. Yet the lessee
takes it and does not grumble. The
land being sold is the cream of the
school land in the respective counties
and in many respects the best land in
the county. The improvements are
in keeping with the general value Of
the farm.
