REPORT OF COMMITTEE

State Printer Whitney has just com
pleted printing tho report of the com
mittee appointed by tho legislature to
investigate the books and accounts of
tho state land oflice. The report is u
largo oue and sets out iu full tho tes
timony introduced before the commit
tee and tho conclusions wero reached
from the testimony nnd tho books and
papers found in tho oflice.
Tho report says:
"Wc, tho committee nppointed under
house concurrent resolution No. 10, di
recting tho committee, consisting of
Senators Loughary and Brownell, ap
pointed by tho senate, and Messrs. Dob

by tho house, to investigate tho charges
made as to past irregularities in the of

books and accounts in tho same, beg
leave to report as follews:
"With reference to base used for tho
selection of lieu lands, wo find that

tho reason that tho baso assigned had

"It also appears Mint ho was author
ized by Governor Geer to undertake the
adjudication of a largo number of
school sections which ho (Mr. Odell) al
leged wero mineral in character, and for
which tho stato should bo entitled to
indemnity should their mineral ohnrnc-

or losses in sections 1G and 3(1 on ac
count of Indian and forest reserves,
fractional townships and homestead on
tries, and for which the state was en
titled to indemnity, and which it has
been tho ditty of the stato land ngent
to discover and list, that tho public
might hnvo tho benefit of such list withr
out cbargo. It was possible for the
state land agent to do this, as a rec
ord of all base over used by tho stato

"We find that many of tho school
seotions had been sold by tho state, and
no effort seems to have been made to
nsccrtaia this fact.
"Had these lands been accepted as
valid baso by tho government, the titles
of these purchasers would haVo beon
defeated.
"Wo do not find that any effort was
mado by either Geer or Odell to have
any of the unsold lands withdrawn from
sale by tho stato land board, so as
to avoid complications which were ture
to arise should the clerk of the state
land board continue to sell tbe lands

fico of the clerk of the state land bonrd. and the stato land agent use them as
"It appears that private individuals baso for indemnity selections, thereby
mado such a record, and there was no! relinquishing to the government any
reason why tho stato land agent could claim tho state may have had to the

Geer (as ahown by his report of 18991 "We find that after those lands were

a record which would show all available tbe loeal land office, their talo was con

was ever made or completed but, on they wero being used as baso, and that
tho contrary, we find that State Land for some unknown reasen the same
Agent Geer, as shown by copies of let- tracts wero used twiea as base for in
ters written by him and on filo in the demnity selections, Uie result of which
state land ofllco, informed applicants was that the state had praetieallr sold
for base, for indemnity or lieu selec jthe same tract three times.

, Odell 's charge for furnishing base,
which prico was usually $1 per acre.
"Certified copies of letters and ro
ceipts, which nro mado a part of this
report, will also show that Mr. Odell
received and receipted for money which
was to bo paid to the state as well as
that which covered his commissions.
"We havo taken tostlmony from Li
II. Geer and W. H. Odell, which we at
tach hereto and mako a part of this re
port. We also attach certified copies of
documentary evidence of the above ob
servations, together with the report of
tho clerks employed to investigate the
records and accounts of tho stato land
agent. We also attach a statement
made by Stato Laud Agent Oswald
West in answer to one made by General
Odell.
"We find that the stato land agont
is without elorieal assistance other than
that received by courtesy of the clork
of the stato land board.
"Tho duties of the oflice, owing to
the liou land entanglement, aro seh
that it is absolutely neeesaary that a
competent elerk be employed. This
clerk can undoubtedly save to the sbool
fund many times his salary, by inaugu
rating a system of bookkeeping that
will Bhow tbe resources of the school
fund, and searching tbe records for

acre.
"Oar report will shew that the state
has suffered, owing t the lack ef gwd

books ef the state land agent be kept
in a proper manner, we recommend that

writes: "I had n fearful cough that
