An Order by Noble.

Secretary Noble revoked the order Of
Mr.. Sparks, formerly land commissioner,
which required reports from special inspec-
,ors ON all lands surveyed. Tho order has
been in effect since Sept. II, lss5, and has
been the cause Of considerable kicking on
the part of land officials. To carry out
this order Mr.. Sparks appointed four or at
times six, special inspectors for the entire
country. They could not attend 10 the
vast business on their hands. and the result
was that several thousand claims are now
tied up in the general land Office nwaiting
adjustment. In many cases tho appropria-
tion has lapsed and been returned back to
the treasury, so that the settlement Of the
case is made more complicated.
