THY CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER - THE INTERIOR. Peport of the Secretary of the Interior Department. The Public Lands---Patents- Pensions--—-Railways. DEPABTAENT OF TRE ISTERIOR, Oct, 3T, 1872, * PUDLIC LANDS. * » . During the last fiscal year public lands were digposed of as follows: Acres. 1,70,320.15 Grants o wagon-roads. Approved to States as swamp. ... Indian serip locations.... Total, » quantity greater by 1.099,270.25 acres than was disposed of the previous year. The cash receipts under various heads smounted to | £3,18,100. During the same period there ware surveyed 22,016,603 acres, which, 2dded to the quantity already surveyed, smounts to 533,364, %80 acres, leaving unsurveyed an ares of 1,251,- 583,620 acres. The reporis of the United Ststes Surveyors Beneral all make mention of the fruitfulness of the soil during the past season, znd the increas- ed yield of all msnner of produce. Even in those States and Territories where mining is the grincipnl pursuit, the agricultural products ave so far exceeded the local demand as to cause largo shipments of cereals to tho Esstern Btates. The Commigsioner's suggestions in reference to the propriety of consolidating into one statute the principal features of the Pre- emption and Homestead laws, are, in my jod ment, specially worthy of the attention of Con- gress. 7 Needed reforms have been made in the con- dition of the Patent Office during the last year, the most noticeable and importent of which is the sbolition of the old formof Patent Office roports, and the substitution therefor. of the Oflicial Gazetto of the Patent Office: Defective 83 the old reports were, and published from two to three years after the date of the issue of the patents Teported in them, their - discontinusnce seemeéd to greatly alarm the inyentors and manu- facturersof the country, and the demand for their restoration, or an’ adequate: substitute, was so great .as to require prompt action in that direction. = Daring. e lest. - session. of _Congress authority was gvsn for the: publication of the Patent Office fficial Gazette, comprising the Commissioner’s Recisions, the decisions of the Supreme Court and’ the Circnit Couris in patent cases, all _thanges in the rules and practice of .the office, notico of oll spplications for extension of mnfl;abfief of the &pecifications, and fhe claims of all the patents issued, together with such illustrations, taken from the drawings of the a:mm, as would give to -the putlics olear idea of -what_is patented. It will thus be seen that these publications embrace very mach mare then was contained in the old Patent Oftico reporte; and, instead of being two or three years behind date, as the old reports were; they are issued within three days of the delivery af. the letters- patent. This work Seems to mect the demand, and is received With umiversal favor. The number of agpuufions for-patents, in- uding re-issues and designs, during the year ended Sept. 30, 1872, was 19,587; tho number of pplications for_extension of patents, 284; the aumber of applications for the registering of irademarks was 539. During the same tim there were issued 13,626 patents, 233 extensions, 556 | wertificates of registry of trade-marks, and 3,100 :aveats have been filed. This shows & small in- sreage over the number of the preceding year. [he fees received during the game period, from 1L gources, amounted to 700,954.86, and the Sofal expenditure to $623,553.80, making the receipts in excess of the expenditures to tho amount of £77,400.96. - 5 . Tt will at once be perceived that the addition of about 20,000 . applicants for Eatenta every year mfl!fi)gtentj increase the work of the offico. Over 200,000 applicstions for _patents have been: filed since 1836, and abont 133,000 patents have Dbeen granted. 'The drawings, models, and files sccompanying these applicafions must be so classified and arranged as to facilitate access to them, otherwise there would bo constant danger of duplicating patents upon the sams invention, and each year's sccumulation adds largely to the danger. The officeis now being administered under substantially the same law and the same general organization adopted at its inauguration, when only from 100 to 500 applications were o per annum. . The ofiice has outgrown the plan of organiza- tion that was sufficient for it then, and a new organization has . become_absolutély necessary - to secure to inventors and the conntry the bene- fits of our patent system. I invite attention to the communicstion forwarded to Congress- sug- gesting a reorganization of the Patent Office. The Commissioner urges the importance of a separation of the Patent Office from the Depart~ ment of the Interior.. This matter is embraced in the bill now pending before Con, for.a mz-E:.njzafion of the Bureau. . Another subject +to which attention is earnestly invited is the ne- .| cessity for more room for the work of the Patent Office. A plan has been devised by - which it is thought the model-gallery will be gufficient, in 2ll time to_come, to store such models 88 it may be desirsble to retain in the. office, but for the working force and the neces- sary files of the.office there is great want of room. It is impossible to transact the business ‘of the office, with safety to the inventors or the | ‘manufacturing intorests of the country, except- ing with more room in which to arrange the files and drawings that must be consulted hourly in the transsction of office business. L - s PENSIONS. ! There are now on the pension rolls the names of 578 widows of soldiers whoserved in the Bevo- lutionary War, a decreage of 56 since jthe last annual report. The names of 1,157 widows and children of soldiers who served in_the wars sub- tent to the Revolution and prior to the late Rel zllio:h:xcapfing the war of 1812, are ‘borne an the rolls, being 57 less than the preceding. ear. o s < 3 Daring the last fiscal sear thero were examined and allowed 6,317 original applications for inva-~ 1id pensions of soldiers, at an annual aggregate rate of $424,026.50, and 5,116 _applications for increased pension of invalid soldiers, at an Bggregate yearly rate of $261,165.50.

Four hundred and forty-three bounty-land warrants were issued doring the year, for 68,040 acres, being 338,120 less than the number of acres issued for the preceding year. . : During the gume period 782 persons availed themselves of the benefits of tho act of June 30, 1870, groviding for artificial limbs and apparatus for resection, or commutation, of whom 458 pre- ferred the latter, - On the 80th of June, 1673, there were on file, unadjusted, 37,176 claims for invalid pensions, 33,762 claims of widows, orphans, and dependent Tolstives, and 11,50 claims of eoldiers and widows of goldiers in the war of 1812, making a. total of 82,518 claims, The Commisssioner esti- mates that the claims for pension on account of the war of 1812 will be disposod of by the Ist of May next. g The investigation of frauds continue to re- ceiva especial attention, with such gratifying re- sults, both in the detection snd repression of wrong-doing, ns to demand a continuance of the Ppresent policy. =, L e, Ttis estimated that $80,480,000 will be requiréd for the pension service during the next fiscal year. i BAILWAYE. 3 % The subscriptions to the stock of .the Union Pacific Railroad Company amount to £86,783,000, of which 936,763,800 has been paid.
