A large increase is reported in the DISPOSAL of
the public lands for settlement during the past
year, which marks the prosperous growth of our
agricultural industry and a vigorous movement
Of population toward our unoccupied lands. As
this movement proceeds, the cOdifcation OF our
land laws as well as proper legislation to regulate
the disposition of public lands. become of more
pressing necessity. and therefore invite the con-
sideration of congress to the report and the ac-
companying draft of bill, made by the public
lands commission which were communicated by
me to congress at the last session. Early action
upon this important subject Is highly desirable.
The attention of congress is again asked to the
wasteful depredations committed ON our public
timber lands and the rapid and indiscriminate de-
struction of our forests. The urgent necessity
for legislation TO this end is now generally rec
ognized. In view of the lawless character of the
depredations committed, and the disastrous conse-
quences which viii inevitably follow their contin-
nance, legislation has again and again been rec
