Public Land Service.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 13.-The
will hold the record for public land
business in the state of Washington,
as it will for the United States as a
unit. In that year there were more
entries than in any year in the pre-
viOus history of the state; there were
more lands disposed of by the gov
eminent, and more money turned into
the treasury from the sale of public
lands. 1t was so in almost every other
whole.
Public land business began to boom
when they We're counted up, were
thought to be maximum figures. 1t
was expected that thereafter the pub
lie land business would begin to de-
cline, for it was known that the cream
of the public domain had been entered,
and that the remaining lands were of
inferior quality. To the surprise of
land office officials, the year 1902
showed a healthy increase over 1901,
and then the returns for that year
were fixed as high water mark.
But even that record was to be bro
templated. 1t was found when the
public land receipts for the year 1903
wede added up that they exceeded the
total receipts of the two previous
years, each of which in it's turn had
been regarded as a high water mark.
This same proportion holds good of the
state of Washington. The following
statement shows the growth of bust
ness in Washington from 1901 to 1903,
and the decline that was witnessed in
the year just closed:
Entries. Acres. Receipts
1901. $500. S,797 9S9,239 29S,596
1902 .....11.5OO 1.2SO.112 5s2,s13
1903 .......14,0s5 1.41O,157 1,194,716
1904 :. 80. $3.50 $4,000 762,s93
1t is apparent from these figures
that the number of entries, the acreage
alienated by the government, and the
receipts from land sales do not move
in unison, but this is true of every
state. For instance there were more
entries made during the past year than
in 1901. but the acreage of entries was
less than four years ago. 1t is also
noted that the aggregate receipts for
the year just closed, while more than
100000 below the receipts Of 1903, are
almost equal to the combined receipts
Of the 1901 and 1902.
Had it not been for the action Of the
secretary of the interior in suspending
all timber and stone entries in WASH
