RECEIVERS ASK
FOR RELEASE
j. j. JORDAN AND c, c. SCHUYLER
ASK FOR OFFICIAL RELEASE
FROM U, S. LANDoFFlcE APRIL
1-oFFIcE MAY BE CLOS.
ED.

j, ]. Jordan and C. c.. Schuyler, re-
ceiver and registrar respectively of
the United States Iandofice at Fargo,
have asked the land commissioner at
Washington to be relieved from their
positions by April /.
The formal request was lei the
land commissioner last Thursday. In
their letters, Receiver Jordan and
Registrar Schuyler stated their will
ingness to assist any new appointees
the present administration may care
to name to succeed them, in becoming
familiar with their duties. ...
Should the land commissioners de-
partment at Washington decide to
close the Fargo Office, ON account OF
the small amount of business which
is now done from there, both Mr.
Jordan and Mr.. Schuyler have notified
the commissioner they stand ready to
close up the office. But in either event
they desire to be relieved and hope
such action by the department may
not be deferred until after April /.
The business of the Fargo landoff1Ce
has dwindled to a small amount as a
result of the almost complete settle
ment Of the lands of the Fargo dis
trict. What official transactions are
made now come from the extreme
western edge of the district. =
Efforts was made some time ago tC
include two tiers Of townships of thc
eastern strip of tho Bismarck district
so as to more generally equalize the
districts, but the project was after
ward abandoned. 1t is understood in
order to prolong the life of the Fargc
district, a similar attempt will be
made by some of the democrats
politicians who would like more plums
to pass around. 1t is believed how.
ever, the general landoff1ces will order
the Fargo office closed about july
/.
1t is thought that a few months
hence will see all the landoffices il
the state closed but those at Dickinson
and Williston. The former still has
10000 acres of unhomesteaded land
much of which though, is in the ba(
lands.
Among the democrats who ar,
prominently mentioned for the plac'
are Foster Paige and Charles Young
A. T. Cole, who was an ardent sup
