THE U.( s. (. SURVEY
Other Countries Copying the Methods
 of the United States.

Washington, Jan. 31. (Special)--The importance and value of the practical and scientific Investigations of the United States geological survey are winning recognition not only in this country but in foreign countries IS well. Requests for the statistics and other data relating to geology, hydro grdphy and hydrology are received oft en from the chiefs of bureaus in foreign countries engaged in the collection of similar information.
 Quite recently a request came from the colonial government of Bermuda for data concerning the probability of securing artesian water on the islands. Within the past year representatives from France and Mexico have visited Washington for the purpose of ia miliarizing themselves with the meth ods followed by this government in this work.
 A short time ago letter was re- ceived from the government of Peru stating that that country was about to organize a department of hydrology on plans similar, to those developed by Messrs. Fuller and Darton, hydrologists of the United States geological survey. Experienced men were needed to or ganize the new department and cor respondence was opened with the di rector, c. D. Walcott, requesting that he recommend efficient men to take charge of the Peruvian, work. The di- rector has recommended several. among whom is q scientist who for a number of years has been in charge of important work for the survey. It is understood that Peru will adopt the methods at present in vogue in the survey which have proved so success ful in this country ,snd it is anticipated that an efficient bureau will be formed in the South American republic.

ExpOrtSLdSt Year Amounted
 to $2O,OOO,0OO
THE TARIFF is NO BAR
An Intrease of Business With That Country Since Its Imposition Three Years Ago - A Falling Of in Trade With Other European Countries.

Washington Jan. 3l-Exports from the United States to Russia in inc year just ended aggregrated practically $2O,- O00 900. This is more than double the amount of our exports to Russia in 1901, the year in which duties were advanced upon merchandise from the United States entering Russia, and is also double the average for many years pre- ceding that date. Imports from Russia have also greatly increased since that time. In 1903 they were $1O, 1907 ,315, against S7.263, ,S74 in 1901 Thus the total commerce between the United States and Russia in the calendar year 1903 exceeds S30,00O000, and is double that of 1901 the year in which such alarm was felt with reference to our commerce with Russia, and is three times as great as in 1893.
 The increase in the trade with Russ.a a is especially marked when compared with the growth in trade with other European countries. Comparing condl- tions in 1903 with those of 1901, it may be said that exports 10 Europe SIS a whole show a slight decrease. while those to Russia, as already indicated show an increase of more than 100 per cent. To the United Kingdom our ex- ports in 1903 are s55 OOO.OOO below those of 1901: to the Netherlands the reduc- ton in exports as compared with 1901 is more than SIP 600, 900, and to Belgium more than 5000, GOO. To France our ex- ports in 1909 show a slight increase, and to Germany an increase of nearly $4O,- 000 GOO: but in each case the percentage of gain is small compared with that in our exports to Russia. which show a much larger gain approximately than those to any other European country, while in our imports from Russia a ma terial increase is also shown.
 The chief growth in our exports to Russia in the TWO years in question has heen in cotton, agricultural implements, copper and .ts manufactures, and naval stores. Tn iron and stee' there has been a slight reduction, andNin flour con siderable reduction. Raw cotton. of which our cXportations to Russia in the fiscal year 1901 were less thar. g., 500 09O, showed in the fiscal year 1903 a total export to that country of over $S. O0O, GOO. Agricultural implements have grown from s1,692. .597 to $3,636 145; copper and manufactures thereof from S790, ,724 to s1, ,3642 272. and naval stores from $2S1, ,61S to S432, 792. Iron and steel, which in the fiscal year 1901 amounted to 1.6S6, ,S94, was in the fiscal year s1,19S, 159; and flour. which in the fiscal year 1901 was $1.261. 122, was in 1903 $l, OPS, ,59O.

WORK OF THE LAND OFFICE
EXTRACTS FROM REPORT OF
COMMISSIONER RICHARDS.
Receipts for the Year Show a Falling
of-Fewer Acres Were
Disposed Of.

Washington, Nov. 23.-In his annual
report for this year, Commissioner
Richards, of the generallan of1ice econ
mends the exercise of more deliberate
consideration of propositions looking to
the establishment of forest reserves
than has been exercised in the past.
During the last fiscal year nine reserves
were created, bringing the total number
up to SO and increasing the aggregate
area covered by forest reservations to
81, 763,494 acres.
The report shows a falling off OF
$1,741,401 in the total receipts of the Of
flee as compared with the previous year
and a decrease in the area of public land
disposed of, amounting to 6,418,477
acres. With the exception of 1908 the
cash receipts were greater than any pre-
Vious year.. The patents issued for the
year numbered sc, 1856, and exceeded those
for any other II months in the history of
the Office. The receipts were SO, 2S3, 341
and the land disposed of aggregated 49,
4O5,S21 acres. OF this quantity 1O,171,-
265 acres were entered under the home
stead law, 2,353,584 were patented as
railroad selections, and 1906, POI under
timber and stone entries.
Speaking of the frauds committed
under the timber and stone act Mr.. Rich
ards says: During the last year it
was decided to use the CORDS of exam
iners of surveys to investigate in the
field all applications for v which
alleged settlement, and the result has
proven the wisdom of this course. In the
timbered regions no real settlement to
any extent was found, but in most cases
a mere camping hut, without furniture
and destitute of the means of housekeen-
ing was all that the examiner could dis
cover on the ground. 1t was learned
that these alleged settlers resided in dis
tant towns and cities"
With respect to unlawful Enclosures
LIT reports were received, showing An
area of 1886 acres of public land
unlawfully Enclosed. Through the ef-
forts of special agents, SO unlawful in
closures, embracing 717,505 acres of
public land, have been removed and pro-
ceedings are pending to compel the re-
manning cases reported. Mr.. Richards
says that specific instructions have been
given the special agents to secure the
removal of all unlawful Enclosures upon
public lands.
According to the report the total
amount covered into the treasury for
the benefit Of the reclamation fund
amounted to $23,O12,S 1886 on the 3Oth of
June last.
