Important Land office Notice.

UNITED STATES LAND OFFICE, Water
town, Oak, May Sth, 1sss.-Hereaiter in
cases of final proofs not made at the To-
cal land office. all applications to make
proof must show whether such proof is
to be final homestead. a commuted
homestead proof or a presumption cash
entry. If five-year final proof, the APP
plication should be to make such proof
before the judge, or in his absence the
clerk of the district court. The same
rule applies to timber culture proofs. In
case of presumption cash entries, and in
committed homestesds, the proofs must
be made before clerks ofthe court of rec
ord, aud not before the judge Of the dis
trict court. The judge Of the probate
court is ex-officio clerk of his own court,
and consequently is eligible to take all
kinds of proofs. Unless applications to
make proof shall show the character OF
such proof, whether final homestead,
committed homestead or presumption,
such applications will not be entertained
by the local land office. Clerks Of the
district court must, in case of the alb
sence of the judge of said court, certify
to such absence, in making final home
stead proofs.
