Everything Was Haphaz ard.

While the tee- making business
of the district court has greatly
decreased during the past few
years owing to the cleaning up
of the immense foreclosure bust
ness that commenced during the
hard times, yet the work of the
Office has not correspondingly
decreased. The great boom in
land values and the resulting
sales and transfers of real-estate
have crowded the Office of the
clerk with abstracters, from one
to half dozen being in the Office
all of the. time. When District
Clerk MAR took charge of the
Office he found the records in a
very promiscuous condition and
it required the entire time of one
person to hunt up cases and files
for these abstracters and at
torneys. Before he had been in
Office month he set about che
task of reducing things in the
Office to a system. There were
over six thousand packages of
files in the vault in such shape
that it took from half an hour to
half day to locate any particular
case. By working over time and
at night, Mr.. MAR overhauled
this mass of promiscuous and
dust laden material and re-
arranged it in such systematic
manner that the abstracters wait
on themselves while the deputy
has been dispensed with and the
clerk, with the aid of very little
help, is enabled to do all the work
of the Office himself. tL
In addition to personally, at
tending to the many different
duties of the Office he is an ex-
perienced typewriter operator,
and every journal entry and COM
plete record is made by himself
instead of being entrusted to
careless and inexperienced
he Up, as too often is
the case. Most OF the cases now
tried in the District court are for
the quoting of title to real-estate
and it is of the utmost import
ance that great care and accuracy
be exercised in keeping records
and copying proceedings. In
some county offices the work con.
sists only of copyiny instruments,
, but in the Office of the clerk Of
| the District court not only has
copying to be done, but the
: writing of DEGREES, which re-
quires knowledge of the proper
, use of the rules of composition, il
even of more Importance. With
his long experience as news
paper writer, Mr.. MAR is enabled
, to keep journal of the cour
proceedings which is a model OF
; accurancy and intelligibility
In fact an inspection of al
records in his office shows the
!, great care and neatness with
j which they are kept.

While the prohibition workers
have much for which they can
feel proud, the advocates of local

sentiment of the community is

than when there is a general
