SANTA FEE LAND OFFICE.
In the course of an official letter COM
plimenting the method of business at
the United States land Office, Commits
soner Binger Hermann says: "Inspec-
tor A. H. Burk recommends that the
salary of Patrick H. Loughran, a clerk
in your office, be increased from $1,000
to $1,000, because of his exceptional
qualifications and his high efficiency
and I regret that the conditions of the
appropriation for the current fiscal year
will not warrant the increase recon-
mended, but when the appropriation for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1901, be-
zones available, and allotments there
from are being made to the various
land offices, the matter will receive due
consideration"
