Dispatches from Washington, dat
ed October 10th, announced early this
week, that the president by executive
order had retransferred all lands
north OF the state line to the DicSin-
son and Bismarck land Offices, from
which they had been taken when the
Lennon land district was formed.
Thus ingloriously ends the first at
tempt of the general government to
maintain land office with territory
covering parts of several states.
The news was received at Lennon
with no small degree of CONSERVATION.
For some time it had been known Only
too well that all was not as was to be
wished in relation to the local land
Office, but that the dissatisfaction at
headquarters should take this express
sion had not beeh expected save by a
very few. Again and again North
Dakotans has expressed themselves
as dissatisfied with the Lennon regime
and it is not to be wondered that the
n. ID. delegation urged the step now
consummated. The lands in Bowman,
Hettinger and Adams counties go
back to the Dickinson land office, and
those in Morton county revert to the
Bismarck Office. The land thus alien
ated from the Lennon Office comprise
about one-fourth its territory 1t is,
however, to be noted that far the great
er part of the land office business in
this area is closed, the greater per
centage of 1t having by this time not
only been taken up, but also proved
up, so that the real loss to the Lem
mon Office is not as great as might
appear.
Conditions also have changed, inso-
much as the newly built railroad give
easier access by the public to their
res pective land offices, and there are
several e. S. commissioners in the
territory, or adjacent to it, who will
easily be "a BILE to facilitate the busi-
