land office at Lewistown recently re-
ceived instructions from the General
Land office at Washington, ID. c., to
start officially recognizing the classifi-
cation of lands in Fergus county as
fixed by the county assessors office.

has had to have a special agent come
down from Helena and classify all iso-
lated tracts. all tracts where the home

tivated area. ali grazing land home

other classes of entries.
Heretofore, when a piece Of land in
the Lewistown land district had to be
classified. it was necessary for the local
land office to apply to the surveyor
generals office at Helena. or the office
of the special agent at Helena. to get
the work done. The local land office
would then have to wait for from two
months until the Helena office could
spare a man to send down and do the

The new ruling was adopted by the
General Land office at the suggestion
of Congressman Carl Riddick. and at
present applies only to land in Fergus

fly their land under a law passed by the
legislature four years ago. and the
counties have been put to Il very heavy
expense in doing so.
