"I do not understand why the sixth biennial report of the desert land board was given out to the press be fore the state board had a chance to approve it," said Secretary of State Olcott this morning, "t makes me sore. I have since looked at the re port and there are several tilings in it of which I do not approve." The sec retary's complaint was because of the making public lato yesterday of the report before It had been examined by the board as a body. The biennial re port of the state land board, which is a different board from the desert land beard, was made public this morning, after having received the full approv al of the state board. The report of the state land office as submitted by Secretary Brown silv ers all transactions of the board from October 1, 1910, to September 30, 1912. It shows tho amount of money receiv ed and receipted for during that time, as well as the funds to which It Is credited.

The amount received as principal on the sales and on tracts heretofore sold under cer tificates of sale amounts to $489,189. Other totals are as follows: Common school fund, $6,252,549.22; agricultural college fund, $201,383.99; university fund, $103,635.36; 'swamp lund fund, $10,509.88, Large Amount I'nld Over.

The report of the desert land board, which was given out yesterday, shows that a little over 500.000 acres of land In Oregon are now affected by the Ca rey act. Of this amount a part has been reclaimed, a portion Is contracted for reclamation and a portion Is with drawn for Investigation. It Is stated that if the board succeeds In having the entire acreage reclaimed 415,000,- 000 worth of land will be added to tho taxable area of the state. It Is esti-p-.ated thnt the land will bo valued at not less than $110 nn acra Another benefit will bo the bringing to the state of numerous new settlors, It Is believed. Tho report states further that the state is entitled to an addU tlonal 500,000 acres of vacant land, ac cording to the Carey act. No Itoust of SurcfNM. "It must be admitted," states the re port, "that Oregon's operations under the Carey act have not as yet been very successful. This Is due to an un fortunate beginning. Tills state ac cepted the Carey act in 1901, but the act of acceptance did not give tho state land board sufficient authority. Nearly all of our present projects were Initiated between 1901 and 1905. There was no state engineer at Xhat time to advise the land board relative to the engineering problems Involved, and the parties Initiating tho projects did not seem to realize the Importance of obtaining complete and reliable In formation relative to water supply, duty of water and cost of reclamation. The result was that the amount of available water was grossly overesti mated, or the amount necessary to reclaim the land underestimated, or the cost of applying the water greatly underestimated. Land Hoard Given Powfr. "In 1909 the present law accepting the Carey act was passed, placing the control of tho Carey act lands In the desert land board. It Is believed that during the past two years the board lias been very successful In Its efforts to readjust tho earlier mistakes and that the Carey act prJoots of the state are now In better condition than ever before."
