Upon being advised of this fact Con-

asked that the fund for the ensuing

The bill as reported out last Sat-

the manner suggested by Congressman
Hanna who thereupon called upon
Land Commissioner Bennett and was
assured by the latter that as soon as

that the force of experts of North
Dakota would be increased so that the
work of examination could be taken up
and crowed along and the unneces-
sary delay done away with.
