RECOMMENDATIONS.

It is recommended by Harry D. Moore,
the state land register, in his annual re-
port, that all state lands be Withdrawn
from sale and that hereafter the policy
of leasing be followed exclusively. ! by
this means the state would be sure OF an
income, would avoid the accumulation of
large sums of money derived from sales
With the risk of it's lying idle or being
suuandered and with the necessity OF
finding an investment for it. The ma
tural increase in value would also ac-
erue to the state, yielding an increasing
revenue to meet the increasing needs OF
the state institutions.
Anoher recommenda ton Is that the, un-
surveyed school sections in Indian, milf
tary and forest reservations, aggregat-
ing 100000 acres, be relinquished to the
United States, as the state cannot gain
possession of them for generation and
good grazing land worth 81 to S. an acre
! be selected in lieu of them. These would
yield $S7 500 year in rent. So far these
sections in Fort Peck and Blackfoot In
| dian reservations the east half OF Lewis
and Clarke and the whole of the Bitter
| Root forest reserve, a total of 3d. ,5oO
acres, have been relinquished and in
| place of them lands has been secured
| worth at least 81, 900, 900 and paying
! per cent on that amount. The land
which it is proposed to relinquish is a69,
| 1eo acres in the Flathead, Fort Belknap
| Northern Cheyenne and Crow lndlar
| reservations, and the Flathead, Gallatin
Lewis and Clarke and Bitter Root fofes
reserves or rather that portion OF /
which is rugged mountains, barren plan
or is settled by Indians or halfbreeds
It is estimated that the land to be Sc
lected in lieu of this would yield pc
cent on $1,250,00O.
1t is proposed to retain the l2,sOo acre
of school land in Fort Assiniboine an
Fort Keogh military reservations, as
will be valuable when these reservation
are thrown open.

REVENUE FROM LANDS.

There has been large increase in the
revenue derived by the state from the
land grants for public buildings and in
stitutions during the past year. This
has corresponded generally with the
adoption of the policy Of leasing instead
of selling the land. whereby a regular
annual income is insured, and the state
has the increased value of the land. AT
the same time the risk is avoided of hav-
ing large sums of capital on hand earn-
ing no interest and awaiting investment
as has been the case where land is SOLD
outri Sht.
The total receipts of all the land grant
funds in 1900 were 5000, ,2-l.25. as against
5000 1920 in 1899. but nearly three
fourths of the receipts in 1900 were de-
! rived from rentals. as against less than
! 60 per cent in 1899. The amount re
ceived from sales of land decreased from
1 S46,051.3 to S14,4SS.06: interest on de-
! ferred payments from S3.11l.54 to s.,
! S1S.65: sales of timber. from Sal % to
! $3S.41S.IS; while rents increased from
