ing and marking the northern boundary of

dairy OF Oregon which lies due south of the

the northern line OF Nevada and the northern
boundary OF New Mexico. Ii 10 recommended
that appropriations be made for the survey OF
the northern and eastern boundaries OF Colo.
RADIO Territory and the northern and eastern
boundaries of Nevada.
The report of the Commissioner evinces
great labor and research. He discusses with
his accustomed ability many questions in con :
nection with the la nded interests Of the United
States.
The last soldier of the Revolution who was
on the pension rells AT the date of the last
annual report, has since died BY special act
Of Congress two other veterans OF that war
