As the schools of Union county re ceive a considerable amount each year from the school fund, it might be of interest to some of our readers to know more about tl.iu fund and thn workings thereof. When Oregon was admitted to the Union, Sections 40 and 36 In every township were set ouide as school sections, and where tkese sections had already been appropriated 01 where they lie within the boundaries of forest reserves, the Blate has been allowed to select other lands in lieu thereof. There hnvo also been Be' era! grants of land, including the Capitol Building grant of 0400 acres the Internal Improvement grant uf of noo.uon acres, the Agricultural College grant of. U0,00 acres, the Uni versity grant of 40,000 acres, and the Swamp I,and grant. Originally nil of these lands were sold at $1.25 pei acre and a largo part of the Grande Hondo valley, including moat of what U now known as the Sandridgo wav sold by the stitto at this price. The proceeds from tho sale of the said lands goes into several different fundr proceeds from Sections ll( and ;, the lieu lands, the Capitol Uuilding grant and the Internal Improvement grant all go to the common school fund. The Agricultural College grant and the University grant of count belong to tho institutions so desig nated. The money so obtained makes what is known as the Irreducible School fund, the principal of which ran only be uttcd fur the purpose of making loans on farm properly, the Interest derived therefrom beftig used 1i pay the expenses of the State Land board, and apportioned among the var ious counties of the state. Originally loans were made at It per cent interest, this later was re dui-ed to ebrht per cent, and then re duced to six, where it now stands. All loans made from this fund are made for the period of one year, but are allowed to run for ten years with out any renewal or additional ex pense, as long as the borrower keeps his interest paid up promptly und keeps the, taxes p:yd on the bind J.oans am made oti farm property, to an amount not to exceed one-third of the value of the reul estate, and not to exceed $f000, to any one borrower. The applicant for n loan muM. fur nish an abstract, pay all recording fees, and aUo pay the fees of the loi-al attorney for the board, making the loan. The administration of the various funds is vested in the State Land board, corn-posed of the governor, sec retary of stale, and state treasurer. The work of the depart munt is carried on by the clerk of the State Land board, under whom are various assist rtnU and eU'r.cal helpers.
