LAND OFFICE BUSINESS.

The business at the United States Land
office IN this city is increasing daily.
Many inquiries made about vacant
lands. the inquiries growing out of state
xnents made in newspapers about availa-
bic government lands.
Register Il. a. Scates informs MS that
there are no vacant lands in the counties
of Marion, Chase, Harvey. Mcpherson
and Barton. There is very little vacant
land in Reno county, and these lands
are in the sand hills.
In Edwards county there is little vacant
land, which is not of much value.
In Rice county there is some vacant
swamp lands.
There are two hundred good quarters
of land in Meade county, owing to can
collation. of timber culture entries
There is no vacant land in Ford
county except few pieces of Usage lands
at $1.25 an acre.
Gray county has a number of tracts OF
good level upland, from cancelled timber
culture entries
The land office has no lists or plots
made out, and consequently cannot furn-
ish them. 1t is suggested that parties,
desiring information about lands. write
TO the Probate Judge or Clerk of the
District court of the county where lands
are located.
The officers of the land office are an

all information so far rs they can. but
