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. ' (Mate Fire Day.
