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 bin, Colwell and Sottlemier, appointed by tho house, to investigate tho charges made as to past irregularities in the of fico of tiro state land ngent, also the 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 Ijected by tho general land ofllco, for tho reason that tho baso assigned had been previously used and tho local land ollico duly notified, and thoy in turn no tified Stato Land Agent Geer, but ho does not appear to hnvo notified tho purchasers of tho lieu lauds that they might bo informed as to tho condition of their titles and tnko stops to protect their interests.

"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- ties as state land agent it appears thero wero many thousand acres of valid base 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 was to bo found in tho clear lists and "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 "Wo do not find that any effort was mado by either Geer or Odell to have any of the unsold lands withdrawn from sale by tho stato land board, so as to avoid complications which were ture to arise should the clerk of the state land board continue to sell tbe lands state lists, which were on file in the of-; 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 not have dona tho same. While Mr.-j lands. .

Uow that the otate bad no base, and ati "Many of these selections were re by tho applicants , 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.

"Oar report will shew that the state has suffered, owing t the lack ef gwd bookkeeping, and in order that the books ef the state land agent be kept in a proper manner, we recommend that not taken tho medicine about which ho writes: "I had n fearful cough that disturbed my night's rest.
