To the Honorable State Board OF
Land Commissioners, Boise, Idaho.
Gentlemen:
have the honor to submit here
with a report of the State land de-
partment for the year 1907, show
ing a summary of the receipts and
the disposal made of the same. Also
a comparative statement of the bust
ness transacted by this department
prior to January 1, 1864 period
of fourteen years from the organi-
cation of this department, and the
business transacted from January l.,
1905, to January 1, 19OS-a period
of three years.
The eighth session of the Idaho
legislature provided by enactment for
the organization of the State Land
Department. The State Board OF
Land Commissioners have since been
working under that law, and the de-
partment, it is felt, is thoroly re-or-
ganized on business basis. AT
present the affairs of the state land
department are conducted with the
exactness of a great banking institu-
ton. AS in wisely administered
bank, the books are balanced every
night at the close of business, the
receipts are quickly reinvested, and a
careful accounting is made of ex-
penditures.
The records of the land depart
ment are now in perfect condition
The special grants of land by Con
gress for various objects, which ag
gregated 66S,O80 acres, have prac
tically all been secured, there re
naming only 60 acres still unselect
ed.
A successful campaign looking tt
the leasing of school lands for graz
ing and agricultural purposes has
been waged. The selection of lands
in indemnity for losses in the com
mon school grant is being prosecuted
with success, and it is hoped that b.
the end of the present year the ex
listing indemnity losses will hav
been practically satisf1d.

department of the thirteen month
ending January 1, 1908. was $1,173

ing the department during the yea
1907, was $27,561.S5.

BROWNSVILLE MUST
SPEAK.

1t is up to Brownsville right now 10
sneak in the meeting, and show that
she is determined to keep abreast OF
the wave of progress which is sweep
ing over South Texas and the Lower
Rio Grande Valley. That a railroad
&c going to be built into this valley
from San Antonio, or to connect
with San Antonio. is not to be doubt
ed. This railroad must come to
brownsville. Not to secure it would
be simply suicidal. While the repre-
sentatives of San Antonio who have
come to see what the country and
towns along the line will do towards
building this railroad. do not come to
make a definite proposition to con-
struct the road, yet they are perform
ing a most important mission in as
pertaining about what can be depend
ed upon by the actual builders of the
road. and are undoubtedly doing a
great work in bringing to a definite
focus the sentiment which has long
existed all over this section in favor
of such a railroad. That it viii result
in definite proposition for the con-
struction of such a road, there can be
no doubt
The fact that these enterprising
promoters have met such encouraging
success all along the line and re-
ceived assurance of large bonuses at
every point which they have visited
along the line, should incite the prop
erty owners of this place to extend
equally as strong inducements to the
project by assuring these gentlemen
of their willingness to subscribe lib
orally to the proposed line. Browns
vile cannot afTor dto lag behind. and
this is one of those occasions on
which the people should rise up UNI
animously and prove that when there
is anything in sight that is bona
hde good thing. Brownsville is enter
prising enough to do her best to Sc
cure it,
Let our citizens turn out en- masse
tonight and meet the visitors, exend-
ing them the heaTtiest welcome, and
sending through them to San Antonio
the assurance that Brownsville and
the lend owners of this section are go
ing TO subscribe their share towards
raising the bonus for the railroad
from San Antonio to Brownsville.
