moneys carried on deposit in state and
national banks during the year, the
report says, amounted to $22, 200, 900;
new regulations were made for leas-
ing oil lands of the Usage nation at
a high rate which, the report esti-
mates, in the first year will pay
100000 in royalties; ninety thousand
acres of Indian lands were sold for
81 $685. 900 and sixteen thousand acres
were purchased for landless Indians.
A section of the report dealing
with the pension Office shows 709,572
names on the pension rolls at the end
of the year, decrease of 38,575 for
twelve months. Civil war soldiers on
the rolls numbered 362,277. Deaths
of civil war soldiers during the year
numbered 34,252. The amount paid
for pensions for the year was $159,
$4,000 against $165,518,00 for the

The Bureau of Education report
recommends the formation of a divis-
ion of commercial education and a
division for the education of excep-
tional children. Investigations are
urged looking to the education of the
adult illiterate, and better education
for the children in the home.
Commendation is bestowed on the
work of the Bureau of Mines in de-
veloping methods of testing low grade
complex gold, silver, lead and zinc
ores which, it is claimed, promise to
rejuvenate mining in certain parts of
the country and make valuable mil
lions of tons of ore that now cannot
be treated. The bureau since its or
ganization has trained forty-one
thousand miners in mine rescue work.
Agricultural possibilities of Alas
ka still are matter of conjecture,
although in some parts of the terri
tory the harder cereals and veget-
ables are being grown. Completion
of the railroad now being construct
ed from Seward to Fairbanks will do
much for the development of Alaska,
the report says.
