BOY FINDS FATHERS
 INITIALS ON TURTLE

CORNWALL-As boy, Charles Navin, who lives on the Racquette river road, within few miles of Mas sena, caught turtle on the river bank and carved his initials on it's back.
 The carving took place twenty years ago. Today the turtle was found at al most the same spot by the youngest son of the man who had originally captured it. The turtle had more than doubled it's size, but the initials on the turtle, were still quite plain. The lat est captor' put his initials on the tur- tie, and again freed it in hope that a grandson would some day find it.

It is possible that part of western
Stutsman county may be included.

law until last Monday Regulations
were prepared for printing immediate
ly. Mr.. Warburton expects them to

sometime next week when blanks are
on hand. Notice of their receipt will

Offices Discontinued; Rec

All Land Business in the State
Will Be Transacted Through

All United States land Offices il
North Dakota will be consolidated in
the Bismarck office.
Official notice of the change was re-
ceived at the land Office here today
in communication from Land Com.
missioner William Spry.
The Dickinson, Minot and Williston
Offices will be discontinued, and all OF
their records willssbe shipped to the
Bismarck Office.
The change probably means the ad.
dftion of two or three clerks in the
local Office and will bring many visi-
tors to the city during the year to
transact business.
under the specific terms of the bill
making appropriations for the depart
ment of the interior for the fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1923, it will be
necessary to discontinue the offices al
Dickinson, Minot and Williston and to
consolidate the records at Bismarck" ;"
says the letter of Mr.. Spry.
Economy Move.
The consolidation plan was first in
augurated by the government by CON-
ibining the Offices of receiver and reg
lister into one office in the various
land Offices. Because of the decrease
in business Of the North Dakota offices,
due to settlement of lands, it has been
the policy Of the government to re-
duce the expense of administration ac-
cordingly. The same plan is being
used in Montana and other Northwest
states. The drastic cuts made by the
present Congress in, it's economy pro
gram, partly as result of the budget
system, has also had its part in the
reduction of the land Office forces
Letters have been sent by the land
commissioners to Williston, Dickinson
and Minot to furnish statement Of
the records that can be shipped here.
The Bismarck Office is ordered to re-.
port upon available space for taking
care of the records. An Inspector of
the land Office will come to Bismarck
soon to make survey.
Federal Building Populated.
The federal building here is now
taken up largely with federal o1ces,
since Judge Miller has established fed
eral court chambers here and divi-
sion >office Of the Internal Revenue de-
partment has been created. In addi-
ton there are Offices of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry and the Public Health
Service.
%. E. Anderson, Of Bismarck, will
assume charge Of the land office here
April 9.
The 1920 statement of the land Office
showed that 81 ,044 acres OF land are un-
appropriated and unreserved, open for
settlement.
