New York. Dec. 22.-After years Of wait
ing the railroads of the United States ore
beginning to derive revenue from the i'm
mense land grants made them during the
construction period by the Federal and state
Governments. 1t is estimated that previous
to 1850 these grants reached the enormous
total of 300. 100000 acres. The immensely of
these grants can he understood when it is
stated that in the State of New York there
are but 81. 500, 500 acres.
At the time these lands were given to the
roads they were worth from 10 cents TO %
cents an acre. Now they are worth from
SIPS to s. an acre. The average value Is
about $3.50 an acre.
The Northern Pacific Company during the
fiscal year 1902 sold 2,3S6. S9S acres, for which
it received 3,9Si.S 76. and which was added
10 its income account. Other roads have
disposed of some of their lands, but few of
them have land accounts which are exposed
in their annual reports. and just how much
they have sold is Il matter of guesswork.
The value of Government land grants
held by the railroads to-day aggregates
s310,S02, 442. They hold, according to the re-
cent report OF the United States Commits
Sioner of Railroads. IN, 12O,977 acres of this
land. This does not include the land held
as coming from the different States through
which the roads run.
Some of the roads mentioned in the table
showing the land held by them as gifts
from the Federal Government have acquired
a large part of their holding by the alb
sorption of other roads.
For instance, the Atchison has lands that
We're granted to the Atlantic and Pacific,

several smaller branches of its present sys-
tenn, while the Chicago Northwestern ac-

This land in a few more years will be

time become a great source of revenue to
the roads. Many Of the roads are now colo
