(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Oct. 24. (Special.) During
the last twenty Iwo months, which covers
the term to date of Land Commissioner
lrred Beckman, 16.733 acres of school lands
situated In twenty-four different counties,
has been received by the land commis
sioner for the purpose of allowing those
who hold tho land under lease, to exer
cise their right to purchase.
The. minimum valuation fixed by the
constitution Is ft per acre, but the county
commL-floners may make the price as
much greater as they see fit. and their
figures are In turn reviewed by the com
missioner of public lands and buildings.
On the acres mentioned, Mr. Beckman
lms raised the county commissioners' fig
ures by l,95S. As all but three of the
lessees have accepted Mr. Beckman's ap
praisement, it is safe to Bay that the
Mate will receive at least 126.000 Increase.
During tilts' same period the leased
lands In eight counties have been ri'fcp
pralsed, the old valuation of I300.WO being
raised to an increase of llf.2.909.
As lessees are required by law to pay 6
per cent Interest on the valuation, by way
of rental, this Increase brings tho state
j;i,775 additional each year.
On the showing made in his department,
Mr. Beckman has received the congratu
lations of a great many taxpayers and
citizens. Mr. Beckman's reputation as
a judge of land in Nebraska is getting
to be proverbial In the ninety counties
of the state In which school lunds aro
located. '

Intimating that Kemp iraa tied up with
the Third ward In Omaha, and giving
Howell until today to mako the state

a statement from Kemp. It is said that
Mr. Howell told the committee that he
would be willing to make such a state
