IV-SKI-U-MAH'S DOVER

Small compared with the school
fund, the permanent university fund
-$3,345, 599.62 at the last report and
still growing-is after all quite g
respectable sum.
1t was founded on two land grants
and incidentals. There was 100000
acres for an agricultural college
granted under the Morrill, act, and
the grant to the university which came
double, ~ sections under the efiab-
ling act to be selected by the gov
ernor and ~ sections under the act
of admission to be selected by the
land office. So the state claimed both
and got away with it.
Incidentally the remnant of the
salt springs land, some $4,000 acres,
were turned over to the geological
survey and there were other accre-
tons. Though it is not part of the
fund, the experimental forest at Clo-
quet, given by the lumbermen, has
added to the assets of the university
more than S125,000, most of which is
the natural growth of the last twenty
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1928-06-20

years.
If the preservation of the school
fund is due to Ramsey and Sibley, the
credit for creating the university fund
belongs to John S. Pillsbury.
1t seems the university, like other
pioneers, had been building on hope.
1t began business with a perpetual
charter and a land grant and a debt
of $125,000 for uncompleted buildings.
The regents were about ready to turn
in the entire land grant to cancel the
mortgage, only the creditors wouldn't
take it; they wanted their money.
Pillsbury came to the rescue. AS
president of the board of regents, he
handled the business so efficiently
that the debt was discharged at a
cost of $4,000 acres. Of course, the
changes in conditions worked for him
in the COS, but the credit is still his.
AT first it was taken for granted
that receipts from stumpage were
current funds. The question was
raised as early as 1864. Ten years
later it was discovered that it was a
mistake to spend the money and, to
make. the accounts square, about $751;
900 was taken from the state institu-
tons fund and put in the permanent
university fund.
The state institutions fund, by the
way, was the proceeds of 5000
acres set apart from the swamp land
grand for the benefit of specified in
stitutions. Later other institutions
came along demanding their share
and when the swamp land fund was
dedicated afterwards one-half to the
schools and the other half to all the
institutions, the separate fund was
abolished.
The ruling that stumpage should
go to the principal of the trust funds
turned out to be quite important. Of
the total of 100000 in the trust
funds at last report, more than $13,-
100000 came from the sale of pine
stumpage and other timber. And in
future reckonings, pine stumpage anC
pulpwood will bear an increasing
proportion of new funds.
With more than $3,5OO,OOO in the
permanent fund and total of S..
100000 or more in sight, the cackline
OF the early statesmen over an accum-
ulation of 100000 in 1880 and a pre-.
dlction that the fund would ultimately
reach as much as One Million Dollars

Toads often begin their mealtime
before sunset and continue through
the greater part of the night, thus
taking the place in the warfare
against insects, of the ground-feeding
insectivorous birds that stop eating
after daytime is over. Since toads
eat large numbers of insects that
are injurious to crops, it can be said
that they are of some economic value,
particularly in destroying mille-peds,
sowbugs, weevils, caterpillars, crick-
cts, and leaf chafers. Toads also
render useful service on the farm by
reducing the number of adult click
beetles, as there is hardly cultivated
plant that is not attacked by these
insect pests. Toads are not fussy
about their menu and will eat indis-
criminately any ground-frequenting
insect.

DIES OF INJURIES.

Mat. -Coufal of Olivia died at the
John Klaudinger home at one o'clock
last Tuesday morning, as the result
of the auto accident in which he and
his son and daughter and son-in-law
were all more or less injured May
% when their car turned over on the
Lucan road when the car struck loose
gravel. His daughter died last We'd
nesday. Mr.. Coufal was step-father
to Mr.. John Klaudinger and formerly
lived south of Walnut Grove, moving
to Olivia about eighteen years ago.
Mat. Coufal was born in old Bohem-
ia, Austria Hungary, seventy-nine
years ago, having reached the age of
70 on May "a. Funeral services were
held at st. Mary's Catholic church in
Tracy Thursday forenoon, and inter-
ment was made in the Tracy Catholic

But in those days they thought the
income of the trust fund would pay
all the current expenses of the uni
versity and the reports in 1880 found
that the tax of Ito mill was produc-
ing a surplus and should be cut off.
Happy days!
Like other grants, the university
and agricultural college selections
were cramped. In fact, the agricul-
tural college lost nearly 10000 acres
because it had to take so much
double minimum" lands, that it land
within railroad grant limits which
counted two for one. AS result the
university especially was obliged to
fall back on the remote part of the
state where there was nothing of val
ue bu pine and possibly minerals.
And that is where the rest of the fund
is coming.
