j' ' , The Cminissionor of the general land
office , Hon. N. 0. McFarland , in his an-
. ; ntmal report , states that the disposals of
public lands during the year , embraced
10,030,769 acres , and the Indiami lands
:99,235 : acres , an increase over 1882 of
. about 5 oooo o acres , and over 1881 of
about 000,000 acres. The receipts
4 from all sources in connection with the
. disposal of public lands were $11,088 , .
. 479 , and from sales of Indian
: , anda , $625,404 ; total , $11,713 , .
; 883. The public Lands were disposed of
as follows : Public sales , 273,069 acres ;
, 1)rivato entries , 2,179,955 acres ; pro-
I ' . emption entries , 2,285,710 acres ; mineral
. entries , 31,520 , homestead entries , 8-
x . 171,914 ; timber culiuro entries , 8,110-
t3O ; entries with military bounty land
- rarrantfi , 45,414 ; entries with land claim
i / scrip , 1,058 ; total number of entries and
. 'I filings posted during the year , 251,085 ,
' ; - aggregating 30,000,000 acres. The in-
creasein t1o number of claims recorded
. . in 1883 was 55,548 ever the year 1882.
p 4 - . . T.he Commissioner states he isaatifiod
ro.eniption filings are made or procured
to be made to a great extent for speculative -
, tivo purposes. Ho renews his recom-
.
f inundation that the pre.omption law be
I L repealed. The report recommends an
.
t . - , t amendment to the homestead laws requiring -
. ) quiring the purled not less than six
\ months after settlement of claimhas boon
' placed on record before the final proof
shall be admitted , irrespective of the alleged -
leged time of residence prior to entry.
The Commissioner states the commutation -
tion feature of the homestead law is open
to the same abusas na the pre.oniption
laws. Ho argues thatthohomestcad laws
should ho amended so as to recuiro proof
of actual residence and improvement for
a period of not less than two years before
, the Ii momtcd entry may be commutated
by cash payments. The report further
recommends the total repeal of the tim-
her culture law on account of its inherent
defects. Time same object , the Comnmis.
sionor finds , in the operation of the des.
ert land act and ho finds entries have
been largely made for speculative pur.
poses with no intention of reclamation.
The practical operation of the law has
been to enable land to be purchased in
large quantities , thus resulting more in
the encouragement of monopoly than
- encouragement of reclamation. Time xc-
port also says the timber and stone land
act is flagrantly violated. "Infornmation
. is in my possession , " the Commissioner
says , "that much of the most valuable
timber lands remaining in osscssion of
the Government on the Pacific coast is
being takoix up by home and foroin
capitalists through the mediuni of entries
nmado by persons hired for that pUrJ)080.
I have found it necessary to suspend all
entries in this elms. "
The Commissioner is of opinion that
. - the timber lands should be reorvod by
law from ordinary disposal and sold only
- after appraisement and upon settled bids.
Ho recommends Congress make some
legislation in relation to private land
claims in New Mexico , Colorado amid
Arizona , and recommends a commission
be app3inted to examine and settle these
claims with proper appeal for review
upon error of law.
The comiatructiomi of 1,210 miles of land
grant railway was reported duriiv' the
year , making a total of 17,449 miTes of
road reported as constructed under all
, grants to June 30 , 1883. The question
of declaring the forfoitura of these grants
I ' 'where railroads hmvm'o not boon constructed -
ed in the proscribed time is doomed an
appropriate one for legislation. The
Commissioner recommends the passage
of an act making false and fraud.
. ulent returns of public surveys pun-
isliablo by fine and imnprisomuncnt.
. Much progress has been made in time
. work of protecting public lands and pub-
, . lc ! timber , Tliopractico of fencing pub-
.c lmc lands iscondemned , and the recoin.
inundation rentmwcd that an act be passed
; . imposing penalties for this offense , and
. , . , for preventing legal settlement and entry
, by force and intiixiidation. The Comnmis.

. $ ji,000 , and for a moderate increase of

t ' clerks in his department , 'l'lmo character

with the fact that its bimsuixess has in.

mnemmts of accouimt , amid says Ito has dommo

First-That neither tIme acts of 1818
and 1815 , admitting time States of illinois
and Iowa to the union , nor time acts of
1855 and 1857 , mentioned in time petition ,
atitliorizo these States to claim a 1)ercent-
ago upon such public lammds , witlmimm their
boundaries , as has been disposed of by
time United States to liohderp of bounty
laud warrants.
Second-That if the meaning of these
acts were t1terwise , still time conteinpo.
raucous consrrmmction thereof by time gait-
oral land office and time States of iowa
and Illinois in numerous and important
transactions , has estabhisimed time meshing -
ing first above suggested ; that iii 1858
the State of Iowa made a forumi demand
upon the Secretary of the Interior as an
otilcial SUperiOr then to the commissioner
of the federal land office to be allowed
the percentage now claimed and the
same was refused with reasons , whereupon -
upon the State practically acquiesced in
such ruling until time date of the presemit

efforts in the mneantinio to uphications to
Congress for a change in time statute
above mentioned. "
The argument will bn coimtinued to-

iii 11. very imicompleto condition ; iii fact ,
as fast as parallel rails vore laid. So bad
was time condition of the road that

with any degree of safety or speed. The
road was nmmsorabiy bahiasted , cuts were
narrow , mme stations nor water-tanks wore

notiming was (10110 to put tIme road iii con-

time resultwould be that the yards atthiat

which would greatly impair the efficiency
of time road. Of course this would reduce -

to a large extent , but instead of being a
