LAND OFFICES TO
Be CONSOLIDATED
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS TO
ATTRACT ATTENTION CT
THE COMMISSIONER.
Business In Some Of the Districts Has
Fallen OFF So That There Is Not
Enough to Warrant Further Main
tenance--Sidney and North Platte
To Be Merged.

Washington, April 13.-W. a. Rich
ards, commissioner of the general land
office has returned to Washington
from a visit to his daughters at Raw
Inns, Wyo. One of the first things
which will occupy his attention is the
question of consolidation of a number
of the land offices throughout the west.
In at least thirteen places business OF
the lane offices has dropped 10 little or
nothing, due to the fact that the land
has all been settled and there is not
enough business to warrant their fur
Their maintenance. The commissions
is confronted with the further fact
that the last congress in dealing out
appropriations cut the allowance for
maintenance of land offices by 81, 900.
This alone means that there must be
retrenchment. There is a proposition
prepared for the commissioners ap-
prevail which contemplates consolida-
ton of the land office at Sidney. Me-,
with that of North Platte. The Sidney
Office has for some months fallen ver.
considerably below the minimum in
the matter of receipts and On and al
ter July l next will be merged with the
Office at North Platte.

PASTOR

TER WILL ACCEPT CALL TO
THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Congregation Complies With All Re-
quests Made by DR.. Davis and
Have Reason to Think That He
Will Come to Laramie-Bids For
New Building Were Rejected.

AT the business meeting of the con.
gregation Of the Baptist church last
night, at the German Lutheran church,
lS.owing the weekly prayer meeting,
ali the conditions imposed by Rev. Da-
Wis OF Duluth, MINI, who has receiv-
ed a call to the Laramie church, were
met and it is believed the call will ne
accepted. The conditions related to
financial matters, in which the general
public is not directly interested, the
fact that the congregation meeting
it and leaving them to be heartily con-
graduated On the evident prosperity
of the congregation.
Rev. Davis has a wife and four chill
dren, two ions and two daughters. One
of the Misses Davis will graduate at
Duluth in June and Rev. Davis will
not be able TO take up the work here
until after that time. He and his fam
iiy are looked for about the middle
of July. They will occupy the parson-
age and some of he children will go
to school here. Mr.. Davis was former
ly pastor Of the church at Cheyenne
and is quite well and favorably known
here.
The congregation received two bids
for the erection of a new church. Both
exceeded the limit of money fixed as
the amount to be used in the erection
of the church and both were rejected.
One was from the w. H. Holiday COM
rany, the other from Jacob Berner.
The building committee will make
such changes in the plans of the build
ing as will bring the cost of the church
within the limit and the contract may
yet be awarded before the season is
too far advanced to permit the COM
mencement OF the work this summer.
