In- culded in the attendance was a number of wsimen from various Parts of the state. There were about 25 speakeor, besides members of tie college faculty, 'who took part in the program. Many of the women who were present espectolly for the twine - tankers' course attended the other tecteres of general interest, but they were especially pleased with the instruotton in home economics by Mrs. Laws and the lectures and dean- onetrations by members of the col- lege faculty. The demonstrations in connection with talks on the hot Innoh for the rural sichool, given by Miss Harkins and two of her gi• students, were thoroughly practical.

The state of Arizona was second on the list with a settlement of three ;millions of acres. At the present rate In Which the land is being sought by the settler nil available government land in :Montana will be taken within the next five years, there being but twenty-one and one-half millions of acres In Montana as yet =filed and not withdrawn by the government for homestead purposes. During the year 1913 the force of surveyors under General Locke sur- veyed' 7,103 miles of ante, or a total of 2,001,280 acres. This workl cost $12 a mile, or four and one-third cents an aerie. • i' During the year 1912 two and one- quertir acres of land were surveyed at a cost of 2.8 cents per acre. The Increase in cost this year Was due to the fact that, a large amount of the work was done In mountainous coun- try. The present year of 1914 will be a banner one it all the surveys author- ized are coanelleted within the re- quired time. The general land of - flee has already authorized the sur- vey of two and one-half million acres for this year, and in addition to this, people who desire to settle on Mon- tana land have petitioned for the survey of an eidditienall million a- cres. !These petitions . have already been forwarded to Washington, D. C., and General Locke . expects to hear a favorable report velthin the next two months. The total land area of Montana is 93,568,640 acres, Which has all been surveyed but 24,657,726 acres. Of this amount practically 10,00 0 .000 acres is embraced within the national forests of the state, team:ling only 10,000,000 weep of unsurveyed land which, aft- er surrey, will be subject to the gen- eral land laws.
