LAI OFFICE
IDLE THIS WEEK
The "day of proof slate at the U.
8. land office in this city records a
remarkable instance In that the next
proof of any description booked for
this land office occurs on the 24th of
February. In the Intervening time,
the office will devote Its time to bring
ing up to date, back work. For sev
eral years the office has been rushed
to the full capacity and many minor
details were left undone. In the two
weeks time between now and the next
proof, much of this work will be at
tended to. .
This remarkable falling off in busi
ness Is placed to two or three princi
pal causes. . Following the holidays
the filings are always slow, and this
augmented by the recent panic, has
become a prominent reason for the
slackness.
