has ever been kept of the states losses
by reason OF mineral and homestead
claims upon sections Is and 50, and
losses by being included In Indian and
other reservations, and for which the
state is entitled to lieu selections. and
the state land board has energetically
gone TO work 10 remedy this condition
OF affairs. and has succeeded in check
ing up all such matters. The state
land board has also discovered that
the delay In making the states selec-
tions OF land In the past has resulted
In placing many obstacles in the way
of the present land board In making
selections. because of the scarcity OF
good land, and the added expense IN
selecting the same. The state land
board has Also contested and there IL

last legislature made an appropriation
OF $4,000 a year for salaries and all
other expenses OF that Office. The
state depository law became effective

board began loaning the states money
