In fact before new territory is erected erect-ed Into stales the government has in the act of Congress organizing each territory reserved certain sc hool l.md- for the future state. Beginning with Ohio, admitted in 1S01. being ever mindful of the need of education and of an enlightened liberty loving people Congress pro-lded pro-lded that section 1 6 in each township town-ship in the new slate should be grant ed for school purpose, and for the university certain rail springs and licks were granted with conditions Thereafter each new state roceiv- 'Hie truck will be there to take the man and the machine and and start at once for Myton. ' The fair visitors will see the p airship fliRht on Saturday after- oon. While the management is exceedingly sorry that the former man engaged cannot come they feoi f,ite pleased to I'e able to get n man to take bis place although it means a Jnuch larger expense to them. ed a grant of each section 16 in every township for school purposes, and some sort of salt grant. Gradually tlie new salt grants made came to jbe twelve salt springs and a certain jarea of lands around them, to each ! new state. j The first state to receive two school j sections in each township was California Cali-fornia when Congress granted that j state sections 1C and HU. California was the first state admitted west of G10 prairie and plain states and the , reason for granting tw o school sections sec-tions to her is no doubt found in (lbe fact that a considerable portion jof her face Is mountain and other-j other-j waste land, and in the policy of Con-. Con-. gross to be liberal with new states regarding ian,i Kr;inls ,a0 for t),0 : purpose of assisting in education and ( c haritable effort. !

Under the I Carey act the United States agrees .to donate to each of the western group of states a million acres each I if the state will cause reclamation by irrigation and the settlement of same. Also In that year an act was passed authorizing the withdrawal of unsurveyed lands so as to give the states a preference to select in satisfaction of grant, upon the governor gov-ernor of the state applying for survey. sur-vey. The Utah enabling act under which Utah was finally admitted to statehood state-hood after a wait of half a century was the first instance of Congress giving giv-ing four school sections in each township town-ship (sections 2, 16, 32 and 36) and the first Instance since the enact-! enact-! merit of the mining acts of 1866 and j 1 S 7 2. where Congress did not expressly ex-pressly except mineral lands. In the jcaso of all other western states ad-jrnltted ad-jrnltted since 1866 the mineral landa j have been expressly excepted from , the operation of granting act. It ; w ould seem that the government Intended In-tended it as a departure, for when I the next state (Oklahoma) was provided pro-vided for four sections in each town-jship town-jship were granted for school and unl-jverslty unl-jverslty purposes and the act not only (did not. except mineral lands, but ! provided that mineral lands should inot bo sold by said new state prior 'lo Iftlf.. , The Utah enabling act also con-; con-; tamed another unique grant, where- . in it. provided that In addition to the , binds which had been granted to the territorial university the State of 1 tah should have 110,000 acres to !f elect and including all saline landa in said state. Unfortunately for tho Ftatc and the university the phrasc-- phrasc-- logy of that grant seemed to be 'ambiguous and the supreme court .decided that tho word "and" -was superfluous and that the state might select only up to 110.000 acres any part of which might be saline. Following the grant to Utah the territory of New Mexico was granted all the saline lands within its borders; bord-ers; later, the State of New Mexico accepted 200,000 acres to select. !
