What sanitation and hygiene has
done for the Panama canal region is
marvellous. While the record of &C
tual excavation shows comparatively
little accomplished in the first few
years Of occupation, much of the eff
cheney of the present working orgat.
ization is due to the thorough prep
aration made at that time. The vic
tory which sanitation has accomplish
ed over the pestilert conditions Of a
tropical country has made it possible
to solve the canal question. To-day
the Isthmus is as healthy place
as can be found anywhere in III ;
tropics. A trip over. the canal zone
will show pipe lines running in ev-
cry division. These carry oil desis-
mated to eliminate the disease-spread
ing mosquito. Under the administra-
tive direction of Colonel W. c. Cor
gas, the problem of sanitation has
been worked out. The value of the
sacrifice made by Dr.. Lazear, who
gave up his life. and of the devoted
physicians who risked theirs in test
ing the mosquito theory of the dis
semipation of yellow fever, is shown
today on the Isthmus. Yellow fever
is unknown. Colonel Gorgas has ap-
piled the methods learned in Havana,
and his success will be lasting mon
ument to him. Screens are in all of
the houses on the zone, but they
are practically unnecessary so far
as protection against the mosquito
is concerned, for the mosquito finds
the problem of existence difficult and
almost impossible on the 1sthmus.

ATTENDANCE, AS WERE T LEGISLATORS AND THE

"cOW country" in the western part
of the state. He was agreeably sur
prised. however, and had made many
friends during his stay here, who had
been a great help to him in his lat
er life. He stated that it was due
not only to Captain Baker, but also
to the Commercial club that Bismarck
had Jared so we'll in her applications
to congress. He also stated that the
North Dakota delegation at Washing
ton was working in perfect harmony
and that the interests of the state
would be we'll looked after during the
time the present members were re-
tanned in office.
Captain I. p. Baker was then called
upon for a short talk, and he stated
that all the credit must not be given
to himself and the Commercial club
as had it not been for the activity
of the North Dakota delegation in
congress- the efforts Of the people
would avail them nothing. He even
went so far as to say that the state
had the best and most active delega-
ton there was at the national capital
and said that while, with the excep.
ton of Senator Purcell. the members
were not of his political faith, the
state was nevertheless we'll and ably
represented.
A great deal of the talk of all three
gentlemen related to river improve
ments in the state and especially to
the improvement of the Missouri. Ii
appears that from believing that the
Missouri in it's course through the
state was a sort of wandering prop
osition liable at any time to break
out of it's bounds and swallow up en-
tire cities and cillages, they had come
to the realization of the fact that it
was the making of great highway
Of commerce through te state and
one Of the great factors in the de-
velopment of the great northwest.

In his review of trade conditions.
Henry Clews says that because we
have scared too high, because the
buying power of the people has been
exhausted temporarily by extrava-
gance or too free expenditure OF
capital, the only cure is for commodi'
ties to descend to a lower level, thus
stimulating fresh activity and restor'
ing the normal. This can certainly
be accomplished without any pro-
longed cessation of industry; and in
due season it will be found that pros
perity can be continued even upon a
lower basis. What the country most
needs during the coming year is rest
from political agitation. rational
treatment of business and social

There was big attendance of
amusement seeking people at the

1t seems remarkable that a drama

The secret OF the plays success is

the sufficient reason.

and bring his witnesses to testify IN
support of his claim. If this course
be not pursued, the proof is taken
before a United States commissioner.
There is attached to this course the
expense of the journey to his Office
on the part of the claimant and his
witnesses. Apart from this expense,
of the claimant, the procedure is not
satisfactory. The work of special
agent is largely that OF investigating
cases where false proofs have been
made. 1t is respectfully recommend
ed that a more expeditions way, and
one where there would be less cost
to the claimant, would be under a
system allowing proofs to be taken
upon the land itself, before special
agent designated to visit the land,
who should be authorized to collect
from the agent a fee, the amount Of
which should be based upon the dis
lance of the claim from some given
point within the land district. The
expenses Of the agent could be so ar
ranged that his visit would cost the
claimant less, and the proof would be
very much more satisfactory. There
would also be graf saving in rem
dering unnecessary the expenses of a
subsequent examination by a SPECIAL
agent to detect fraudulent proofs.
North Dakota has total land sur
face of 7O,1S3 square miles and a
water surface of 654 square miles. The
total acreage is 45,335 $50. That the
public lands are dwindling fast is
shown by the fact that only 807,512
acres were homesteaded in North Da-
kota during the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1910, as against 3,325,S2S
acres in 1906, the high water mark.
There are only 1,410,225 acres of un-
appropriated lands in North Dakota.
North Dakota has received for educa-
tional purposes on account of the 5
per cent net proceeds from sale of
public lands to June 80, 1910, $433,-
9O5.92, and we have turned into the
reclamation fund under the act of June
II, 1902, the largest amount of all
states for 1909. viz, $1.197,775.96, and
in all since passage of the act $780,
92O.55. OF this vast sum this state
has received comparatively little in
return in the way of government ex-
pendtures on rrigation enterprises.
The receipts from the disposition
of public lands in the Bismarck land
district exceeded those Of any other
district in North Dakota. being $780,
32S.5S. Williston comes next with
1851 91434, and Dickinson follows
with 11.S5S05. In each instance the
expense of the local office was only
a little over 81, 900.
The commissioner also calls atten-
ton to the necessity of additional
legislation covering the disposition of
coal lands, especially in Alaska, the
object to be attained being the laying
OF this public necessity in the coal
bins of the ultimate consumer at the
cheapest possible price consonant with
a due adherance to the principles of

REPORT OF GENERAL LAND
OFFICE.

The report of Commissioner Den.
nett of the general land Office for
the last fiscal year, just issued, is
raplete with interesting statistics
bearing upon the administration of
the general land office, the disposition
of public lands, the receipts therefor,
the various irrigation enterprises
opening and disposition of Indian and
military reservations.
The report shows that vast
amount of extra work has been done
by the office during the last period
and at relatively small additional ex-
pense.
The total cash receipts from the
sales of public lands, including fees
and commissions on both original and
final entries for the fiscal year 1910,
were $8,371 ,637.1O. Miscellaneous re-
cetpts were as follows: From sales
of Indian lands, $2,O37 ,551 .6S; reclaim
alton water-right charges, $77O,5S6.35;
depredations on public lands, sales of
government property, and copies of
records and plats. $2S4.14S.93, making
the aggregate total Of cash receipts
OF this bureau during the fiscal year
1910. $11,463,924.o6. a decrease of
$752.491.33 from the fiscal year 1909.
lie total expenses of district land
offices for salaries and commissions
OF registers and receivers, incidental
expenses, and expenses of depositing
public moneys during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1910. We're $S73.637.33,
an increase Of $29,541.49 over the fis-
cal year 1909 The aggregate expen-
ditures and estimated liabilities of
the public land service. including ex-
penses of district land offices, were
$3,1 9.363.49, leaving a net surplus Of
$S,2S4 ,56O.57.
The total area of public and In
dian land originally entered during
the fiscal year 1910 is 26,391,269.09,
an increase of 6,49S.765.33 acres. as
compared with the area entered dur
ing the year 1909. This large in
crease is due to the great number of
entries made in the northwest, prin-
cipally in the state of Montana,
where at one office, Great Falls,
there was approximately as much
land entered during the last fiscal
year. namely. 2.O64.5O2.06 acres, as
there was in the whole state of Mon
tana during the fiscal year 1909.
The commissioner again recon.
mends that the dual local land office
system be done away with. That is
the abolition of the Office of register
and receiver and the creation of one
: position in lieu of the two. with a
; bonded clerk to keep the accounts
In the taking of final proofs the com
missioner recommends radica
change. On this ubject the commits
sioner says:
At present proofs are taken before
the register and receiver This ne
cessitates in many cases a long triI
from the land to the local Office ant
entails a large expense upon the ap
plicant. who has to journey thereto
