structions contained in the circulars,
when it is desired to make final proof
without visiting the land office in per-

make application to the district land
Office for such final proof. AS soon as
the application is received at the dis
trict Office, the special agent of the
department of the interior is notified.
He will at once investigate the matter

A POOR MOVE.
Order, if True will Mean Much
Expense to Claimants.

Yesterdays News Tribune in the
Range News section brought the in
ference that all the U. S. Commits
sioners would be asked to resign as
the land Office claims to have lost
money on the fees paid to commits
sioners by !lomesteaders and timber
claimants. Commissioner Silliman
of Hibbing has been asked to resign
and his resignation has gone in. 1t
is said tile request came from Judge
Morris who also made the appoint
ment. Is is said that only one COM
missioner will be unaffected by the
change, that being the commissioner
at International Falls.
The argument which has been
used to secure the new order is that
many Of the commissioners are gross
ly ignorant Of what their duties con-
sist and by improperly filling out the
final proof notices and forwarding
them to the Duluth land office they
cause long delay to the claim holder.
lot of useless trouble and no little
expense. 1t has not infrequently &C.
Cured that a settler has made final
proof before commissioner aud i'm
mediately afterwards left for some
point several hundred miles away.
taking it for granted that all the con-
dition for making final proof had
been complied with under the law.
The final proof papers would turn up
| at the Duluth Office In an incomplete
condition, making it necessary for
them to be returned to the commits
sioner who made them out, for cor
rection. The commissioners would be
compelled to recall the settler and
the work would be done again.
Should this order 60 into general
effectit will prove somewhat of a
hardship and much additional ex.
pense to the land claimants. 1t will
compel Il trip on the part of the
claimant and his witnesses to the
land office at Duluth with attendant
hotel bills and railroad fares. The
/ move is poor one.
