Public Lands,

The annual report Of the general land Of
fec shows that during the past fiscal year
9,833, 600 acres of public lands were dis
posed of; 6, 485, 900 surveyed, in addition to
734, 59l 900 previously surveyed. The to.
tal number Of acres of the public domain
still unsurveycd is 1851, 900, QUO. Dis
posals wore made as follows: Homestead
entries, $500, 600 acres; timber culture en-
tries 2,768,000; cash entries, 822, 900;
grants TO railroads, 278, 900; swamp lands,
patented to states, $1,000; other grants to
states. 186,00 acres. The amount sur
veyed the last fiscal year exceeds by 4l6,- :
600 acres the total surveyed the previous
year., while tho report shows falling of OF
773, 600 acres In cash sales, state selections,
scrip locations and land patcnt.d for rail-
road grants. The increase in area taken up
by settlers under the homestead and timber
culture laws has been sufficient not only to
counterhalanco this falling of, but to mako
the aggregate disposals for tho year greater
by 887, 600 acres than for the previous year
The Increase In homestead entries was 842.-
900 acres, in timber culture entries, 800,-
900. Owing to the existing laws for tic
disposal of public lands for homestead and
timber culture 1t Is shown that during the
last year, with larger disposal of land,
there wcre received from all sources $1,.
$4,000, less by $l39, 900 than the amount
received the previous year.. Large depos-
