PUBLICITY GOES FAR
TO BUSYLANDO OFFICE

A Carson City newspaper appears
to have started something which 1t
had not intended. according to the
following rather remarkable state
ment found in the News of yesterday:
Demand for Nevada public lands
is so great that the stationery stock
at the United States land office at
| Carson City is said to be very low;
the clerical force is about played out
answering inquiries and handling ap-
plications-and the end is not yet.
officers and clerks alike are thankful
that they will not have to get out
| patches of letters today, but they
| dread Monday.
Mrs. Bray. the registrar of the
office, is disposed to attach a great
deal of blame for this condition to
| Receiver Gray and the News, because
of publicity that has been given mat
ters which have been handled in the
office lately. 1t appears that news
stories telling of Nevada's gain Of
more than a mile through late sur
| veys made of the Nevada-California
| boundary line toward the southern
part of the state have been linked up
in some publications with other sto-
ries of the opening of large acreages
| to entry after their withdrawal from
stock driveways.
Accordingly, ex-service men in
some sections of the country have
heard and read neutrality-suspicious. or
Interpretations and multiplication of
details until many of them believe that
5000 acres of future orange grove
lands along the border between Ne
vada and California await their APP
plications and will be theirs for the
asking.
when Tuesdays mail brought sew
eral letters of inquiry nothing par
ticular was thought about 1t; but
when forty-nine letters showed up In
Wednesday mornings mail Mrs. Bray
saw reason to view the situation and
future prospects with alarm. Plans
are being made to prepare circular
letters with which to get out replies
with despatch.
"The items about the lands open to
entry were straight and perfectly
clear when first published, but were
mutilated and 'balled up when copied
in other newspapers"
