 Tt has been a source of pleasure to come in contact with the spirit of cooperation which has marked the york of the General Land Office. The may and does arise from time to time has been much in evidence, and the work has moved along without much, if any, interruption. This spirit is not by any means confined to the office force, but is found ex. tending it's influence throughout the entire service. The unity of action to be found existing between the To- cal land offices and the field service is of a most commendable character Good and effective teamwork ap- pears to be the watchword, and a desire to serve the applicant is mani fest everywhere. The result of this system has been in evidence during recent years and the public has be- come better acquainted with the aims and purposes of the force of the General Land Office. And why should not this cooperative work make for the good of the office. Ger tainly, those who have business with the Land Department are entitled to all proper and correct information concerning their transactioi-s, and, in turn, they appreciate the kindly interest manifested by the repre- sentatives of the bureau.
 After all, there is a common in terest prompting the movement; first, by the applicant who is de sirous of going upon the land and utilizing it for his benefit, and then on the part of the officials whose purpose it is to see that the appli- cant not only gets on the land, but gets on right with the least possible trouble or annoyance attending the transaction To this end the field service and the local land officials confer together, and through their counsel and advice applicant is able to avoid the many perplexities which otherwise would beset his pathway. They become to him as friend in court, and he is happy in the thought that a purely unselfish motive is prompting the relationship, and the transaction becomes one Of mutual
