WORK OF THE UNITED STATES

The United States land commission
held it's regular meeting on April at it's
offices in the capitol building, as did
also the territorial land board.
Routine business was transacted by
both bodies, and several large selections
of Land ma da hv the Iocating agent of
the commission D. M. White, We're ap-
proved and other selections were or
dered
At the meeting of the United States
there were present Gov. M.
A. Otero, chairman, and Solicitor Gen-
eral Il. L. Bartlett. At the meeting of
the territorial board there were present
Gov. M. A. Otero, chairman Solicitor
General e. L. Bartlett and A. A. Keen,
land commissioner, and secretary of the
board. The work is progressing very
satisfactorily, and selections of public
lands to fill the donations made by the
United States to several territorial in
stitutions have been carefully and WISE
Iy made, consisting of lands, mostly
timber up to date, and will in the flu
ture prove very valuable.
The commission ordered a lot of Sc
lections of grazing lands to be made in
the near future, as it is becoming very
hard to find any more timber lands open
for selection.
