puring the 18 months' period end-
jing with the last fiscal year, the state
| leased 187,301 acres for oil and gas
development and its receipts from this
source aggregated $2,401,718.22; be-
ing $1,448,732.81 in bonuses, $765,-

Oklahoma City, Jan. 3.—Handling
j funds aggregating approximately
$40,000,000, the commisioners of the
land office of Oklahoma are in a class
jOf high finance that makes presidents
of some large banks and directors of
Joil companies recede into obscurity
las dealers in moneys. The commis-
sioners literally do a "land office busi-
ness."
Notes held by the commissioners on
I land sold, but not yet paid for, ag-
gregate $22,000,000. Loans on pub-
lic funds secured by farm lands
!amount to more than $14,000,000. In
i addition there are constantly accruing
.royalties and bonuses on tracts leas-
ied for oil and gas development. More
than 600,000 acres of farming and
grazing land are now open for lease
and sale.
To administer the public lands and
funds derived from them is the task
of the commissioners of the land of-
fice, more generally known in Okla-
homa as the "school land department."
The statehood enabling act, under
which the state was created, provided
that in each township, consisting of
36 sections, sections 16 and 36 should
be set aside for school land, section
13 for the maintenance of state edu-
cational institutions, and section 33
I for charitable and penal institutions
and public buildings.
An additional grant of land was
made for the maintenance of the state
university preparatory school, the ne-
]gro agricultural and normal univer-
sity and the normal schools.
To serve as a dowry for Indian
territory in the Union at the time of
statehood, congrea?,. in jthe enabline
act, appropriated $6,000,000 to the
ffcchool fund of th new atate.
