LAND SALE INFORMATION.
The commissioners of the land
office have just issued the pamph-
lets containing full information con-
cerning the school lands to be sold
in the third sales district of Okla- j
homa.
There are 1,602 tracts for sale in |
this district, each, with a few ex-
ceptions, containing 160 acres, a
total of 244,876.44 acres. The sale* 1
is to begin in Payne county, October t
3, and ends in Jefferson county, Jan- i
nary 21st of next year, covering also
Pawnee, Noble. Kay, Grant, Alfalfa,
Woods, Woodward, Harper, Ellis,
Lincoln, Oklahoma, Canadian, Blaine
Major, Custer, Dewey, Beckham,
Roger Mills, Greer, Kiowa, Swanson,
Tillman, Harmon, Caddo and Step-
hens counties.
The land to be sold at public
auction at the front door of the
court house at the county seat of
the county in which the land is
oeing sold. The lessee of the land (
is given the preference right to pur-
chase 160 acres of the land at the
price fixed by the highest bidder.
In case he does not elect to take
the land the purchaser pays the
lessee for the improvements, in ad-
dition to the price of the land, at
the appraised value fixed by the
commissioners of the land office.
The terms of the sale are 5 per
cent down and balance in forty equal
payments with interest at the rate
of 5 per cent per annum and where
the initial payment is less than $30
the purchaser will be required to
pay for the first payment the sum
of $50.
Where there are growing crops of
wheat, rye, barley and winter oats
upon the land, planted prior to
October 20, 1910, and the land is
sold prior to January 1, 1911, the
crops shall be deemed an improve-
ment upon the land and shall be
added to the appraised value of the
improvements at $4 per acre. This
does not keep the lessee and pur-
chaser from bargaining upon the
purchase of these crops.
The cheapest land to be sold in
the third sales district lies in Roger
Mills county, where there are no
lessees upon the land and conse-
quently no improvements to pur-
chase except u|H>n two tracts where
there is a little fencing. This land
is appraised at from $480 to $1000
per quarter section. There is also
some cheap land in Harper and
Ellis counties, where a few of the
quarters are appraised at $320.
Noble county’s school land sales
will be held at Perry on Wednesday
and Thursday, October 5th and 6th.
COUNTY SEAT WAR.
If the county seat war now on be-
tween Snyder and Mountain Park
is not amicably settled soon Gov-
ernor Haskell may call out the mi-
litia to compel the officers of the
new county of Swanson to move
the county records and property
from Snyder back to Mountain Park
from thence they were taken under
cover of darness a few days ago. A
delegation of Snyder citizens, head-
ed by A. F. Moss, came to Guthrie,
tonight and held a conference with
Acting Attorney General Spillman
for the purpose of defending the
action of the county commissioners
in designating Snyder as the county
seat.
WORLD'S CHOLERA SCARE.
The world again faces a cholera
scare. Dread of this terrible scourge
like the shadow of an advancing
cloud, has spread over Europe and
there is keen anxiety that the dis-
ease may invade New York and the
scenes of 1893 be repeated. The
outbreak of cholera in St. Peters-
burg and in the seaports of Italy
has set the medical authorities of
the immigration department at
work erecting barriers against its
transportation into this country.
The huge steamer Lusitania was
held in quarantine for twenty-four
hours the other day at New York
because there was a suspect among
the passengers, and this suspect
was subjected to the most rigid
tests.__
