The State fjand Board.
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
