PRESENTS A NEATER APPEAR ANCE
RcarranEement of the Pension Office

The pension office now presents an ap-
pearance of neatness it has never before
known. When Commissioner Evans took
charge of the ureau the floor of the great
court was filled With filing cases and
clerks desks, which had anything but an
appearance of regularity. practice had
grown up by which clerks whose work was
on the first floor would take Up space for
their desks, which they hung on to as if
they had pre-empted a claim under the
homestead laws. This practice gave the
place an untidy appearance. Not only
were desks distributed among the filing
cases, but the hundreds of cases were ar
ranged in an irregular way. Orders were
given Superintendent Barnes to rearrange
the floor space, and now the filing cases
are placed with n. mathematical precision
with convenient passaSeways for the filing
clerks. The desks have been moved into
adjacent rooms. much to the improvement
of the appearance of the place.

fish and especially prohibiting their
wholesale and wanton destruction, but
it is not severe enough. A person who

very apt to make it, if-z-he lives to get
