cause the returns of that year were great
~ in excess of those of the year before.
Every year since there has been an in
CT ease in the public land business, but at
no time has the growth been so rapid
as I'm the last twelve months. Under the
national irrigation law tho greater part
of the receipts from the disposal of pub
lie lands is diverted into reclamation
fund for use in building government irri-
cation systems.
About one-fourth of the gross receipts
is deducted to meet expenses. and to- pay
per cent set aside for educational pur-
poses. This means that the reclamation
fund will be swelled to the extent Of
$,500.OOO as a result of the land office
business last year. for the receipts as
above given viii later be augmented by
nearly. if not quite, $500 900 derived from
fines. timber sales and various funds not
yet reported
The reclamation fund, embodying only
the receipts for the two previous years,
amounted. in round numbers. to s.. 100000.
With the funds added last year there will
be about $4,000 900 available by the time
the first expenditures are made. This
fund becomes permanent i'm a way. but is
being constantly increased as the cash
receipts are added each year.
