port of Commissioner Hermann of the
general land Office, made public to-day,
shows grand total of 929,30S,6Ss acres

as compared with the aggregate of the
previous year. The total cash receipts
of the service increased s792,14e over
last year. Original homestead entries
showed a decrease of 2S,970 in area in
volved. and final entries an increase Of
329, 939,192 in area. There were 15O,541
acres certified or patented as swamp

and other lumbermen to pay fair
price TO the government for timber sup
plies drawn from public grants there
should be an equal CHARGE levied on the
grazing products of the public lands.
The government, it is urged. should
derive a revenue from leasing such
lands. ..
