the national joy smoke

through the withdrawal from lease
and opening for sale Of certain Of the
lands. The total amount received
from agricultural leases during the
year 1914 was $17.774.69; and in 1915,
$19, $40. 28. From the sales Of timber
on state lands In 1914 there was re-
ceived $1,000 and In 1915, $109 .102.47.
The total amount received from all
land sales and leases during the year
1914 aggregated $751; .206.26, and In
1915, 1858 .67s.ss. This decrease in
the amount received was brought
about by the change In the law in
creasing the time In which payment
can be made on state lands bought to
40 years. 1t is perhaps Interesting
to know that the state university re-
ceived during the past year as its
proportion from the special grant re-
ceipts s2b. 9o7.41.
The state land board held an i'm
portant Joint meeting with the sheep
and cattle men OF the state In regard
to the matter OF the leasing OF state
land. The meeting was an interesting
one. At first 1t appeared that the
varied stock interests were so wide
ly separated In their demands that 1t
would be impossible to get any kind
of amicable action. However, through
the efforts of some OF the more con-
sentative sheep and cattle men, aid
cd by the members of the land board
a somewhat definite idea OF their sew
eral rights and privileges was reach
ed.
The ranging rules finally agreed
on provided for the following: A de-
clared policy of the board that 10
lands shall be sold or leased that will
establish a monopoly of the range or
control of watering places; that water
ing places OF leased land shall not he
fenced where same Is only accessible
place within one mile; In making
leases special consideration shall be
given to residents of the state and
citizens OF the United States: an eff
fort shall be made in allowing leases
of state lands to encourage the home
steader and small stockgrower; where
leases OF large acreages are made to
II person or corporation, the state
reserves the right to grant additional
grazing privileges to bona fide set
tiers who have only a few head OF
stock: a preference right to lease
state land is given where isolated
tracts are located contiguous to es-
tablished settlements; If an isolated
tract of 100 acres is located on the
road or trail to the forest range the
land board may refuse to lease sucl
tract and hold the same for publ,
use; leases for agricultural or graz
ing purposes may be made for from
one to Ave years and are made for full
years only; no leases will be made L
non-residents, nor will non-residen
stock be permitted to range on stat,
, lands. nor more than 500 acres vii
be leased for agricultural purpose
20 any n person; a grazing leas
may be changed to an agriculture
lease; but such change shall be onl
I for the ~unexpired portion of the frs
lease; agricultural leases are as
J. signable to residents of the state on

Just the present value OF the land
still held by the state II would be
difficult to estimate. That there is
something like half a million acres Of
this land heavily timbered, which un-
der any ordinary circumstances should
have a value approaching $50 or more
In acre. and that much of the agri-
cultural land owned by the state II
held until the demand for its sale be-
m insistent should command an
equally high price should indicate
something OF the value that may be
placed on this heritage of the chill
dren OF the state.

There Is at the present time under

NEWS FROM THE STATE CAPITAL.

Boise, April 26.--There are not many
people IN this state who appreciate
the fact that the state land depart
ment is the greatest ~fiduciary institu-
ton In the state. and that when It is
developed to It's greatest degree 1t
will become a corporation whose
wealth Will be somewhere between
$50. 00O, 900 and $4,000. 900. This
would seem to give some color to the
claim that Is heard In some quarters
that with proper management and the
reinvestment OF funds for the next
fifty or one hundred years would leave
the state with n school and special
institutions endowment sufficient In
size so that all taxation for these
things would forever after cease.
At the present. however. this hap
by consumation has NOT been reached.
The present cash assets OF the land
department are In the vicinity OF
100000 900. a very respectable amount
In itself. but merely a beginning OF
the wealth expressed In the various
land grants.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1916-04-27

A sale of state land was held in
Burley on Saturday last, at which
time about 5000 acres were sold, this
being practically all the land owned
by the state In the Minidoka tract.
The land brought from $40 to $50 an
acre, the prices bid being generally re-
garded as very fair. State land sales
have been advertised to occur in Ada
and Canyon county this week, and
reports have been received that good
prices for these lands may be ex-
pected.

Recently something OF a trial bal
anc has been drawn by the register
OF the state land department. The
footings that have been reached are
decidedly interesting. The approx
mate acreage granted the state by the
general government OF account OF the
common schools and because of spec
ial grants provided by the enabling
act, are given as S,31S.0S0. 1t Is i'm
possible to determine the exact acre
age. as the common school grant %
sists OF sections 16 and 80 In each
township. and sections di not always
contain exactly $40 acres each. II
IL estimated that the common school
grant aggregated s,65o.00 acres, The
total acreage OF state land that had
been sold up to April 1, 1916. was
430,6S0 acres.
