report just made, there were made 224S
original homestead entries at the Santa

maintained this year is manifest from
the fact that during January 352 orig
inal homestead entries were made at
the land office here, which is one of the
four offices in the territory and is doing
only one-third as much business as the
land office at Clayton and one-half that
