Der of printed copies of this oath,
which he will send out to teachers at
once, as they will be required to sign
them on their next pay day.
The oath bars the teacher from hav.
ing any interest directly or indirectly
In any Indian lands in the territory,
and forbids his owning any stock Or
having any interest in such lands. A
few of the teachers now have inter.

month to swear to the oath before
they can enter upon another four

to The Dales land district have been in
structed by circular from the general
land office make a change in the
cross-examination OF timber land claim
ants making final proof. During the
past year the cross-examination in final
proofs on timber claims has, under in
structions from the department, been
conducted by special agent, The new
ruling requires the officers before whom
proof is made to make the cross-eXami-
nation on the blanks provided by the de-
partment. If timber lanu claimant
makes his proof before the register and

that officer will cross-examine claim
ant and witnesses, reducing theii
testimony to writing, to be submitted
with final proof papers.
