CLERK IN LAND OFFICE
 REVIEWED OWN DECISION

The following unique story illustrating conditions formerly prevailing in the gen eral land office, which Secretary Lane has done so much to abolish, Is told by a correspondent of the Seattle Post-1ntelli- gencer:
 It will surprise the general public to know that there are many instances where one civil service subordinate of the land office has written the decision of the of hcers of local land office in a contest case, has then moved up to the general land office and written the decision on appeal of the case, and then, moving across the street, has written the decision of the sec retary of the interior on the final appeal
 Here is one concrete instance out Ot many, and names can be given if necessary, though, for obvious reasons 1 would prefer not to give them, my information coming from an attorney practclng before the de partment:
 An American citizen of sturdy, stubborn stock, filed on a certain piece of land ln l Los Angeles county, California. Suddenly it appreciated in value. A contest, based on l frivolous grounds, was started while his application was pending.
 1 It was at a time when the local land office was flooded with work. A law clerk had been sent by the general land office to help out the local officers in writing the decisions. This clerk examined the case and wrote a decision finding against the original claimant.
 This claimant was angry and expressed himself freely in and out of the land of flee, He appealed to the commissioner of the general land office. The clerk was called home. In the course of business this appeal came to his desk for decision. He wrote learnedly, upholding, of course, his previous finding, and the commissioner of the general land office signed the decision.
 From this the claimant appealed to the secretary of the interior. The law office in the secretary's office was piled up with work and sent to the land office for help. This particular clerk was assigned to go over One of the first cases he picked up was this case from Los Angeles He must have smiled at his old friend.
 It was not difficult to write third ruling in quite different language supporting both eayher decisions. Why shouldn't he
