AUCTION Of STATE
LANDS RESULTS IN
SPIRITED BIDDING

At one of the most spirited land
sales ever held by the state and one
in which the competitive bidding was
keener than in any previous state
sale, approximately 1900 acres of
state lands in Maricopa county which
were sold at public auction by the
state land department brought total
sale price that was $S,299.45 greater
than the total appraised value of the
land. The sale was held at 10 O'Clock
at the entrance of the state capitol
building and was attended by more
than 200 people, most of whom enter
ed bids as the various pieces of land

were sold. No bid was received on
cne piece. and of those sold, none
brought below the appraised value.
Most of the land sold went to people
who were seeking homes and Will
occupy the land. The tracts offered
ranged in acreage from to 325 acres.
One interesting feature of the sale
was the fact that highly improved
lands did not create competitive bid
ding while the unimproved lands on
the other hand were sought for
eagerly by the Bidders. In every
case where the land was highly i'm
proved, the land was sold at the APP

the brain caused by the shock ex-

shortly after falling and the body

According TO the information re-
ceiVed here, Shive assisted other
workmen in removing Skelton from
the mine and went to the hospital
with the fatally injured man. Upon
his return from the hospital Shive
changed clothes and went to his home
at Goldroad, where he lived alone.
When he failed to appear on the sec

his partner, other miners investigated
and found Shive lying on the floor
OF his home in an unconscious condi-
tion. He was removed to the hos
pital, where it was found that he was

praised value and went to the per-
son owning the improvements. One
piece of unimproved land consisting
of about so acres was sold for $2,65
or about $4,000 more than the ap
praised value. Several other pieces
brought double the appraised value.
Three of the successful bidders on
the lands were ex-service men and
one piece was sold to two young
women who were seeking an estate
in Maricopa county. No one offered
to bid against them and the tract
consisting of about so acres was sold
to them at the appraised value.
One of the pieces offered for sale
was the site of the Washington school
consisting of four acres. 1t was ap
praised at 800 with improvements
of $4,000 on it. This piece was sold
to the trustees of the sschool district
at the appraised value. For some
reason when the school was built the
trustees failed to secure a title TO the
land from the state and under the
state law. the only method of secur-
ing a title was to offer the piece for
sale at public auction. Only one bid
was received and this was made by
one of the trustees.
When asked by a representative
of The Republican why so much COM
petitive bidding was had, Rudolph
Kuchler, state land commissioner
stated he attributed the cause to the
display adds run in the two daily
paper advertising the sale and de-
clared he was of the opinion that tie
state was well repaid by advertising
the sale.
The total acreage of lands sold
yesterday according to report from
the land department was 1,4Te.S1
acres which had been appraised by
the department at $57,925.52. The
lands brought $66,224.97 and the total
amount of improvements on the lands
as appraised by the land department
was $94,S61.59 making the total sale
price of the lands with the improve
ments, s161,0S6.56.
The largest tract Of land sold was
32459 acres which was appraised at
81, ,01G27 with improvements amount
ing to $4,000 on it, This piece was
sold at the appraised value to Helena
Carver who owned the improvements
on it. Two pieces of land, 100 acres
each were appraised at $4,000. One
had improvements upon it valued at
S12.275 and it was sold for the ap-
praised value to Frank E. Allen. The
other had improvements amounting
to S11,710 upon it and it was sold TO
Oliver H. Clark at the appraised
value. Outside of the school site,
these two pieces had the largest
amount Of improvements on them Of
any offered.
The tract which brought the best
price of the sale was piece consist
ing of 2916 acres lying south OF the
Salt river. 1t was appraised at $445
and had Improvements of $S74S on it.
This piece was sold to Fred Kindley
at 1855. Another tract OF n.97
acres appraised at $209.S5 with i'm
provements of S125.91 was sold to
J. II. Doyle for $3.50. Six tracts APP

COLLEGE COMEDY At
HIGH SCHOOL GIVES
REAL Entertainment

Those who failed to attend the
presentation of the comedy: Country
Boys in College by the Junior col
lege last night missed one OF the best
plays ever presented at the high
school. Nearly every member of
the Junior College took part in the
play and the entire performance was
on par with the best of college pro-
ductions.-
The play was written by c. L.
Michael, head Of the commercial de-
partment and was first staged in
Phoenix in 1914. 1t is a play depict
ing college life and is especially well
adapted TO high school players. The
features of the play were the track
scene, the haZing scene, and the cam
pus scene in which several college
songs were sung.
The play is based around the col
lege life Of two country boys. both of
whom love the same girl, and the plot
is cleverly woven around the romance
of five young couples. The story is
humorous, pathetic and exciting. and
holds the interest of the audience
throughout.
The performances of John Willis as
Jack Jameson, the poor country boy
was of exceptionally high quasiIy and
he was ably supported by James
Shelley in the part of Harry Williams
and Adele Newcomber as Alice Ar
mold whom both boys love. The
comedy role OF the play was ably
handled by George Alkire in the char
acter of Hank Hawkinson. long
legged galoot from the sticks. The
work of the supporting cast was ex-
cellent and added materially to the
high class of the entire performance
which was far above the average high
school cast.
The play was presented under the
direction OF the author, and will be
given again tonight in the high school
auditorium.
The cast is as follows:

longs to go to college-John Willis
