(ImHiI Dispatch to Tb Journal.) Washington, Jan. 4. The report of the secretary of tba Interior was sub mitted to congress today. In part tb report 1 as follows: During the fiscal year ended June SO, 1908. there were entered 19,090, 856.78 acres of publio land, a decrease of 1,907,209.80 acres - over , the preceding year. There were embraced in entries oompleted during the year 8,068,044.86 ores which bad been reported In orig inal entries made in previous years and are act included In the above statement. Entries of sll classes made last year numbered 106,469, a decrease of I per cent over the orecading year. Total cash, receipts from the disposal of lands during the last fiscal year were $U,40,42.J8. Receipts from other sources were 1126,888.18, making a to tal of 818,716,709.46, or an increase of 10 per cent over the receipts of the pre ceding year. Tho total expense of the district land offices for salaries, com missions, incidental expenses and cost of depositing moneys during the last rear was $848,118.46, an inorease of 81,286.49. The aggregate expenditures and estimated liabilities of (he public land service were 82,381,369.79. leaving a net balance of f 10,334,349.67 In the treasury. Nine additional national forests were created during the year and 1 reduced in area.- There are 166 national forests embracing 167,378,886 acres. Conservation of Vatnral Xescmrees. The movement forthe conservation of our natural resources shows that the people of the United States, have fully awakened to the vital necessity of car ing for what is left of the public do main. Conservation means not only preservation of our resources, but. as well, their wise and immediate use and the prevention of their misuse, whether by way of waste or monopolistic ' and speculative control. The public domain has been placed by congress under the Interior department, and ample authority is vested In the chief executive and the secretary of tbe department to take such action as is necessary to care - for the public do main. Purina; many years the executive has. in the exercise of this general au thority, withdrawn at different times and for various purposes areas of the publio domain and for the time being fTevemea mose areas rruia Being iu ered for private use. Pull nower under the constitution wai vested In the executive branch of the government, and the extent to which that power may be exercised is gov erned wholly by the discretion of the executive, unless any specino aci nas been prohibited either by tne consiuu tlon or by legislation. In the exercise of this power It Is the duty of the executive to take such ac tion as will protect the Interests of all tba people of the United State 4 heir property rights, and. if the occasion requires and the facts warrant. It is the duty ' of the executive to prevent the acquisition of the public domain by private interests iw such acquisition be detrimental so me pudiic weirar. . If there be no power to affirmatively ?rovlde for the ultimate use or aisposi lon of the public domain in accordance with the needs of the public welfare, It Is the duty of the executive to tem porarily prevent Its acquisition until congress may have an opportunity to con sider the question and adopt appropri ate legislation. This stewardship duty of the executive Is most concretely manifest in the care of the specific property known as the public lands and their resources. From the earliest days the executive has found it necessary In the public in terest to take action concerning the nub ile lands by withdrawing areas from entry. There was no specific provision of .law for many of those withdrawals, and yet they were made unhesitatingly by the executive as steward and were approved by congrss in acts granting land for thepurpose for which It was withdrawn. These were purely the acts of stewards farslghted enough to fore see and protect the interests of their principal, the people of the United States. President Roosevelt's withdrawal in 1906 or more than 60,000,000 acres of land supposed to contain coal, in order mat it mignt do ciassmea and savea ror Its best use, and the recent withdrawal of phosphate lands for the benefit of our farms, are notable examples of the exercise of this power in protecting the publio use of our resources. The courts have upheld the cower of the executive to withdraw -public lands not only roe pudiic use, nut also lor the puDiic weirare. Desert Land and Bry -T arming. The development of dry farming and the extension of Irrigated areas has brought under, cultivation many thou sands of acres of the public domain that hitherto were considered practically worthless. It is therefore necessary to very carefully consider how the remain ing portions of the public domain should be used. I think It clear that the re maining lands should be classified in accordance with the general plan out- Not Sisters Now and agaia you see two women pats ing down the ttreet who look like titter.

Under such a classification the government could readily provide means for the disposi tion of these lands In such manner as to afford to the homemaker the oppor tunity te acquire the necessary kind and quantity of land. The homestead law Is not applicable to much of the balance of the publio domain. If the land is irrigated a much smaller amount than 1(0 acres may be acquired. If it is dry Terming, more than lo acres may do required. It 1 probable In certain sec tions, wnere ary larming is leasiDie, that residence UDon the land itself will not be possible because of the absence of potable water. It may thus be nec essary and wise to permit the cultivators of such areas io live in communities some miles distant from the farms and base final proof upon cultivation and actual residence in the neighborhood. In other words, it s unwise to attempt to apply to these areas now under consid eration the laws that were applioable to a totally airrerent Kind or lands. The season of 1908 has hen unfavnr able for the growth of crops and but a small acreage was Irrigated, A much larger acreage will be supplied during Klamath Project, Oreg-on-Calif orals.

TTmttilla Project, Oregon. The Umatilla project diverts the water from Umatilla river and 'conducts It bv means of a long conduit to a reser voir recently constructed near Cold Springs. This reservoir is formed by building an earthen dam about 100 feet high across a drv ravine. This dam was completed in the early part of 1908. The reservoir thus formed has a capacity of about 50.000 acre feet. The outlet canal and distribution system were built mainly by contract, and about 7000 acres were placed under water in 1908. A larger area will be available in 1S09, probably about 10,000 acres. The projecttntemplates the reclamation of about ZQ.000 acres.
