Land Sales Signal Revival as County Lands Sell High

He cites 191 acres in Morris township at over 23 dollars per acre and 80 acres in Dry Lake township at 17 dollars per acre spot cash. A sale of the Charles Cagelow property drew 1500 dollars cash, and a bill by Senator Hansbrough to extend reservation settlers’ time to May Ast is praised as a welcome boost.
