LAND \ INNING REGISTRY.
In compliance with section /. of the
Act, | prepared the necessary blanks
and books for operating this branch Of
our work, and III Il short address. =,
we'll as through many of the new pa
pers OF the STATE, informed our PEG
pie of the plan under which they
could offer their lands for sale, through
this office. | have now registered IN
the office 200 ,556 acres, r~epre.entlne
farming lands, mines and water pow
ers, situated in t~wenty-four unit
in different sections OF the STATE.
Descriptions of these properties have
been published frOm TIM 10 time and
distributed widely, but chiefly IN the
Northern States. A paper vas pre-
pared, containing articles from scy-
erai OF our prominent officials, and
from other cItlZanS of high c|harl;,er.
rela Ing to the political condition and
physical characteristics of our State.
dnd was distributed throu LhOuL this
country, and III some portions of
Europe. An agent was employed ia
this interest to make a limited tour O,
some of the Northern States. As an
auxiliary to the work Ill afTordnZ
visitors TO our State a convenient OPP
portunlty for inspecting its various
products, au Agricultural Museum
mas been arranged in connection with
this Office and the Geological Museum,
for displaying such specimens Il,
might be ob 5ained from each Of.th.
counties. Under the rulings Of the
United States authorities the linn ted
time allowed us precluded the collec-
ton of only d small lot of specimens
for the Paris Exposition. The United
States Commissioner General ruled
u specimens OF minerals, ores and
manufactured products. Hence, our
display consisted chiefly Of agriculture
al products, and although small, was
in variety and quality, quite creditable.
The hundreds Of letters received al
this off; e from al the northern and
northwestern SLa.es, Is well as from
other countries, evince5 an actively
growing demand for information Ia
regard To our State, and lJe5 that
