LAND OFFICE
MAKES MONEY
Receipts at North Yakima Are
Five Times the Amount Ex-
pended for Maintenance.
THIS STATE Is THIRD, IN
PAYMENTS TO TREASURY
Nearly Six Million Dollars Have
Been Turned Over to Federal
Treasury Within the Past Eight
Years.

The total area of public and Indian
land of the United States originally
entered during the fiscal year 1910 is
1881, 269.09 acres and an increase
of about six million and a half acres
as compared with the area entered
during 1909. The large increase is
due to the great number of entries
made in the northwest, especially in
Montana, where at one land office
alone during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1910 as many entries had
been made as during the previous
year in the whole state.
Washington Is Third.
These figures and others Of interest
are contained in the annual report ct
the commission general of the land
office to the secretary of the interior,
copy of which has just been re-
ceived in North Yakima. One of the
tables shows that during the past nine
years there has been paid into the
treasury from Washington to the cred

sales Of public lands and fees and
commissions, from June 80, 1901 to
the same date 1909, $5,528,OS4.54. This
is more than was paid from any other
state or territory except Oregon, for
which the figures are $9,062,733.66 and
North Dakota $9,580.920.55. From

charges during 1909 we're $11,316.S2
and for 1910, $5O,457.47.
Less Acreage Taken Up.
OF the public and, Indian lands en-
tered last year, Washington shows a
decrease over preceding years, the
figures being for 1910, 560,7S9.20
acres. There still remained at that
time, June 80, 1910, unappropriated
S5,955,554 acres of which only about
third has been surveyed.
Washington has national monu-
ment in Mount Olympus, created
March 2, 1909, comprising 60s,640
acres.
The cost of running the North Yak
ina land Office for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1910 was $9,116.50,
Of which $6,OO0.0O was for salaries
and the remainder for incidental ex-
penses. Since the total receipts were
$46,7S2.60 the government is not
losing anything on the business. There
were S43 applications, entries, etc.,
100,872.63 acres entered, $S,466.78
fees and commissions and $3S,315.82
from sales of land.
