PUBLIC LANDS IN STATE
PRACTICALLY ALL TAKEN

On August 3Oth, another North
Dakota land office, the seen in
pioneer days on many exciting
incidents attendant to the settl-
ing up Of the state, will pass out
of existence. An executive order
just promulgated abandons the
Devils Lake office, consolidating
it with the Minot office.
When this order becomes ef-
fective only four land offices will
remain in the state, all Of these
being in the western districts.
By new order Of the depart
ment of the Interior, providing
for enlarged homesteads, Of 32O
acres, It is anticipated that the
remaining land in the state will
be filed on within a short time.
Since the first lot Of land was
thrown open to entry under the
enlarged act, many thousands of
acres have been taken up by
homesteaders.
