In the office of the state land board
there has been considerable change.
Mr.. Hinkle, who has succeeded Mr.. Par
shall as chief clerk OF the board, has
moved the office down stairs and he
now occupies the room formerly occu-
pied by the appraiser OF the board. AL

justing himself to the harness.

complimentary about his Office is war
ranted. His lack of confidence in the
financial responsibility OF newspaper
men is not borne out by the record. The
people Of the state will probably never
discover any error in electing this
handsome and obliging man to the
high official position which he occu-
pies. And MI. Sheldon is n OF the
most competent men he could have Sc
lected as his deputy.
