Wabiiinuton. Dee. 6.—The report ol
Secretary David K. Francis, of the in-
terior department, made public last
nijht has many suggestions and rec-
ommendations of importance lo the
southwest. The report opens with a
discussion of the public domain. It
shows the total number of acres dis-
posed of up to June Ii0 last was 946,-
000.00.), leaving public domain still va-
cant estimated at over 000,000,000 acres,
not including the district of Alaska,
with an area of over ,100,000,000 acre*.
Since the homestead act was pissed
on May 20, 180i, there have been 102,
801,132 acres entered by homestead set
tiers. Of this, almost 103,000,000 acres
will all be patented when the le/al
conditions Iimvj been made. Of the re-
mainder, 42,000,000 acres represent en-
tries canceled and almost 18,000, OLD
acres commuted to cash.
The total amount paid by the gov-
ernment in pensions, ami the cost of
disbursinif the same, for the last 3!
years, is $2,004,817.TO' . This lack-
only a little over ?:!40.712.500 of 1 einjf
equal to the hiffii-water mark of the
interesi-l eat ing* public debt. The
present number of pensioner-, which
is 070,078, is greater by 4,000 than in
when the inaxnnum annual cost
was reached, and is greater than ever
before. This is due to the death of old
soldiers and the continued payment of
allowances to their heirs, while the
amount paid is decreased through the
death of invalid pensioners leaving no
dependents.
lTnder the head of Indian affairs, the
secretary repeats the recommendation
of his predecessor for a commission of
three, one of whom shall be an army
officer, to take the place of the assist-
ant commissioner* of Indian affairs.
Under the head of bond-aided rail-
roads the secretary savs: "In my judg-
ment, it is much better for the govern-
ment to accept a lump sum in cnsl^for
its claim against these roads, if by do-
ing so that claim can be settled and
the connection between the govern-
ment and the only roads it has ever
aided hv direct subsidy be effectually
served."
Discussing forest reservations, the
report says no permits to cut timt-er on
public lands should be granted for any
purpose other than to supply the needs
of actual settlers iu the neighborhood
of the forests where timber is to he
cut, and should be accompanied by all
possible safeguards,
Secretary Francis urges upon con-
gress the necessity for legislation for
the reclamation and disposal of lands
within the arid regions. Unless the
Carey act could be amended so as to
give the state power to pledge lands
for their reclamation, he says it would
be better to place the lands under the
direction of tlie states, only so far as
may be necessary to secure their re-
clamation for the benefit of actual set-
tlers.
