(ss.- NO. 28 Well Pleased With State Land Sale Geyser Real Estate Dealers, Ranchers and Others Take Advantage of Their Opportunities and Buy Thousands of Acres of Fine Land at Low Prices and Easy Terms The long looked for sale of Cascade county state lands was held last Friday and Saturday at the court house in Great Falls, and out of 41,000 acres offered, 35,319.43 acres were disposed of at a total price of $578,460.72, or an average of $16.38 per acre. The land sale was of particular in- terest to the people of Geyser, sd much of the land being within a radius of a few miles of this place, and a large number of oor citizens were in attend- ance with all the ready money they' could raise to bid in the many choice tracts that were appraised at a very low price. A number of the buyers of this vicinity had an understanding among themselves, it is said, whereby each was to get the land he wanted. without Opposition from the others. Conse- quently, with few exceptions, the land was bought at the appraised value, or close to it. Thousands of acres of this land ly- ing alongside of improved farms that were purchased during the last two years as raw prairie at $25 to $40 per acre, sold at from $15 to $20. Real estate men and others are well pleased that they were able to buy' this land at ket will be a most important feature of the development and growth of Gey- ser in the next few years. The sale is referred to by deputy state register Joseph Oker who con- ducted the sale, as a great success. It is the second largest ever held- in the state, being topped only by the Fergus Mike Bodner. 160 acres, section 7, county ,sale in 1910.
