Seek to Avoid
Date Conflicts

A plan in which it is hoped that
the conflicting of dates in major
entertainment programs in the city
would be eliminated in the future
is to be acted upon by w. j. Strick-
land, secretary of the chamber of
commerce.
The secretary is to keep a record
book at the chamber headquarters
on Main street in which all major
entertainment programs such as
dances, amateur plays and dinners
will be listed. The project, however,
requires the cooperation of officials
of the various fraternal, education
al and civic organizations of the
city and Strickland is urging that
this assistance he given him.
Last night there were four ma
ior entertainments in progress in
the city declared Strickland this
morning. 81 believe by keeping
record book of these events handy
here such contliction can be cIimi-
mated in the future. Whenever one
of these organizations sets a date
for an event of Importance this rec
ord book can be referred to and in
that way we can eliminate booking
such events on similar dates.

years. In 1870, when half the state
had been surveyed and one-eighth Of
the grant had been sold, the school
lands were practically sold out in the
older counties, not much left but
culls. In the '80's the tide was run
ming to the Red River Valley. Since
1900 sales have been largely confined
to northeastern Minnesota, where the
only substantial acreage remaining in
the states hands is now found.
There were some off years-1871
for example, a perceptible falling off
in demand, light wheat crop, prairie
fires, hail, and the panic which broke
just before the fall sales. And 1877
the grasshopper year. And the years
of agricultural depression after 1920.
All the time the children's heritage
in the school fund was increasing.

nificent heritage" as early as 1865.

to fight for its sections 16 and So.
The first instance was the sale of the
Winnebago lands in 1868, down in
Blue Earth County. That loss was
particularly annoying because these
lands are in the heart of thickly
settled country and are vastly more
valuable than any that could be
selected in lieu"
1t was not until 1876 that the
states claim for indemnity was al
lowed and by that time there was no
vacant land in southern Minnesota.
The state had to take what it could
find in the unsettled regions. And
that is how it happened that more
than 100000 acres of indemnity lands
were selected in the pine and mineral
areas of the Arrowhead region.
Some of the grand prizes were
gained by the state in those indemnity
selections in the '80's. And in the
same process one $1O,0OO,OOO prize
slipped through the states fingers.
AS for the fight to save the timber
from depredations, there was a run
ming contest all though Bob Dunn's
term, pounding the table with big
fist, using language that shrivels the
paper on which it was written and
collecting thousands of dollars for
tresspass.
That is how the state got its school
fund, by eternal vigilance, high pa
triotism and good lot of fighting
language.
At the outset the state tried to rent
its lands; the settlers complained
that the rents were exorbitant and the
Auditor admitted they were right
the law should be changed to charge
rent only on cleared land. The first
actual receipts were for grass and
cranberries.
The first sale was put on in 1862
and came to S242,531-mostly occu-
pied lands sold to settlers who had
already made improvements. And ev-
cry year since then there has been
sales of school lands running in 1902
to more than s1,O0O,0O0. That was
the year of the cleanup in the Red
River Valley and the opening of the
last block of land in the cut-over
country.
Between there were good and bad

Our children's heritage in the Min
nesota state school fund has now &C.
cumulated $45,000,000 plus half the
income of the swamp land fund which
now amounts to 00,0O0-and at
least three times as much in sight.
Every dollar of that endowment
shows rough usage where somebody
tried to get away with it, but always
somebody fought for the states hold
ing it.
At the very beginning, back in the
sos, settlers were pouring in, stalk
ing out presumption claims before the
land was surveyed, guessing some
somes half a mile or so away from
the true location.
So in 1864 Auditor McIlrath was
asking the legislature to memorabilia
congress for repeal of the law which
allowed squatter's rights to be main
tanned against the state, asking also
for contingent funds to defend the
states title against fraudulent pre-
emption claims.
