u. S. LAND OFFICE NOW
LOCATED AT TIMBER LAKE
BIG GOVERNMENT INSTITUTION FOLLOWS TIL
PIONEERS WESTWARD.-HAS BEEN LOCATED
AT ABERDEEN FOR THE LAST
THIRTY YEARS.

In compliance with the order of
the commissioner of the general
land office made little over six
weeks ago, the land office for this
district which has been located at
Aberdeen for the last thirty years,
was discontinued at that place last
Saturday and was opened here on
Monday.
P. D. Kribs, who for the last six
years has been register, has been
reappointed. J. E. Adams re-
rigned as receiver and J. L. Par
rott, of Mobridge, has been ap-
pointed in his place. Owing to
the fact that these appointments
were not made by President Taft
until last week they were unable
to qualify in time to take up their
duties here on Monday, but they
are expected to arrive the latter
part of the week, as will also Les
lie Weeks, clerk. Alexander
George, an old employee of the
government, was appointed to take
charge of the office until the other
appointees have had their bonds
approved and in other respects
qualified.
At Aberdeen the departure Of the
land office is very much regretted
but they say it simply marks the
passage of that city from frontier
town to a metropolitan city.
The coming of the office here
however, is attended by many ex-
pressions of joy. While we are
still frontier place and will neces-
sarily remain so for number OF
years, yet its coming here is al
most a positive assurance that
Timber Lake will be one of the
most important west-of-the river
cities. The history of land office
towns is that they are always good
towns and many of them developed
into fine little cities. There is no
reason why Timber Lake should
be any exception to this rule.
The rules of the department re-
uuire that all records and cores
pondence in connection with land
Office matters shall be preserved,
and as the office was a number of
years ago located at Sioux Falls.
then Watertown and finally to Abb
erdeen, the manuscripts in the
shape of loose records and in adj

dition to the regular department
books, is said to be something pro
digious These records were sent
here in large-sized mail sacks and
their number is said to be some
thing over one hundred. The task
therefore of unpacking these sacks
and filing the records away in their
proper order is an immense one.
The territory embraced in this
land district takes in the counties
of Roberts, Grant, Deuel., Coding-
ton, Hamlin, Day, Marshall,
Brown, Mcpherson, Edmunds,
Walworth, Campbell and all of the
territory of the Standing Rock and
Cheyenne Indian reservations COM
prising the counties of Dewey,
Corson, Ziebach and portion OF
Morton county in North Dakota.
OF course there will be little or no
business before this office from the
first eight counties named, but the
remaining counties comprise vast
territory, Of which bv reason of the
land office location here Timber
Lake will be the Mecca and bust
ness center for number OF years.
