The school land bill was again taken
op where it lied been left on Saturday.
All lessees are to have the right of
renewal of lenee at C per cent of ap-
praised value and whnn land U adver-
tised vacant the first bidder at 6 per
cent gets the land.
Mr. Cherry tuored to except all that
oonntrr west of Alva from appraise-
ment fixing the runt at $2S a section
in this country except Hearer nnd
Ureer where U shall lie $20. LobU
No lessee shall be entitled to a re-

Bach member of the board of di-
rectors shall give bond tho coin-
inibsioner nnd (secretary $25000 each
and the receiving and paying toller
9100000.
Ferguson said tho bonds wore too
large and lio thought that putting
them up so high was simply a sahemo
to raise the salaries as no man could
give sueh a bond and reooivo only $80
per month.
May Kerry and Shannon talked
along the same lino.
Rose moved to protect tho school
fund by allowing any three oltlsens to
complain to the board of the appraise-
ment of any school lands at too low
a figure and have a bearing.

than ton could complain.
Olson wanted the county com-
missioners to hear eomplatute and bo
paid out of the souoolfiind.
The number was fixed at ton and
the amendment was adopted
The assessors are to be paid $1 a sec
tion In the east and fifty cents in the
west for appraising the land.

8lioul I'HHd I'roteaK-tl.
Mr. Rose offered an amendment pro-
viding that the terms of the present
leases should In no ease be changed.
This precipitated a red hot debate
May and Doyle declaring it was not
offered in good faith.
Rose retorted that it was In good
faith and wai to protect tho school
from certain members woiktrig only in
the Interest of the lessees association.
Doyle said he wanted it understood
thut he was wording in the Intorost of
110 particular person or persons but
doing h s duty to see that the lessons
who had been imposed upon in the
past should have fair treatment now

Seven now bills were Introduced In

passed five were considered In com-
mittee of the whole four favorably

Ono feature of the day was the faol
that a bill was Introduced and passed
through tho necessary throo roadlngs
under suspension of tho rules in about
ton minutes from tho time ot its Intro-
duction after tho noon hour.
Another feature was tho amount of
hard labor out In on roultiio work
Considerable nilvnnao was madu in
clearing tho calendar nnd a very fow
uioro days like yestorday would leave
tho council with plenty of time but
nothing else on tholr hands. Hut it
