that but very few Of them reach people who take nv
interest in them This is owing to faulty system OF
distribution. The publications sent out by the Gov
eminent of the greatest value to the people and
would be appreciated, and accomplish great deal of
good, II they were properly distributed They are
all educational in character and in their intent And
scope Some are OF benefit TO farmers others to
miners some treat on topics of interest to labortrs
aud others . professional men; are Of value TO
educators and others to statistcians A Congress
man distributes these works among his constituents
u the best OF his judgment and with all the he
can exercise, yet innumerable mistakes are made.

Alturas county, on barren mountain side at an al
ttude OF between seven thousand and eight thous
feet, the Department OF the Interior me publ,
