J M, IAWK1NCU, United Status Commissioner. Shaniko Warehouse . Company PHI DAY MAY i, 1903 proofs He fore New Coimnlfsioncr. In view of the fact that some have felt disposed to question the validity of pr6ofs" taken before the new United Stntes Commissioner in cases that were advertised for hear ing before cither of the former com juissioucrs, Palmer or Reed, Com missioncr Lawrence has compiled the following statement, which was' posted nt his office Monday mom ing and is given out for the infor niation' of those whom it may concern: "In n circular issued from the General Land Office at Washington July 17th, 1SS9, on 'Rules to be Observed in Passing on Pinal Proofs',, the following occurs as paragraph 5: '5. Where final proof is taken before au officer not named in tlie advertisement, it may be xccepted If otherwise suiiicmnt, provided the proof is tuken at the tune and place designated in the printed notice, or within ten days thereafter under the exceptions provided in Rule t which "pertains to the mmttmr ' of initiating public land contests; nnd provided lurther, that both the officer advertised to tnkc such proof and the officer taking the same, shall officially certify that no pro test was at any time filed before him against the claimant's entry.' "Thus final proofs 'taken before an officer not named in the adver tisement' seem clearly to be recog nized by the General Land Office. Otherwise this provision would not be, made for taking them. The re quirement that the officer advertised to take such proof shall certify that no' protest against the claimant's entry was filed before him seems to contemplate cases iu which such officer does not lose jxnver to act is not disqualified through expira tion or withdrawal of authority. When one ceases to have author ity to receive filings or contests or proofs, all matters in his hands per taining to them are presumed to be transmitted to the proper land office, where they will receive due attention, fn connection with proofs taken by the new official, if there be protest not filed with him.

MONOPO'LE "In 'Revised Rules of Practise,' approved July 15, 1901, Rule 33 pertains to 'Oral Testimony before Officers other than Registers and Receivers,' and the first paragraph provides that in the discretion of Registers and Receivers testimony may be taken near the laud before a United States Coiinnistioner at a time and place to be fixed by them in the notice of hearing. The last paragraph of the Rule reads as fol lows: , , 'When an officer designated to take testimony under this Rule, or when an officer designated to take depositions, under Kule 27 pertain ing to the power of Registers and Receivers to designate other officers to take depositiousj cannot act on the day fixed for taking the testi mony or deposition, the testimony or deposition, as the cose may be, will be deemed properly taken be fore any other qualified officer, at the same place and time, who may be authorized by the officer origi nally designated, or by agreement of parties, to act in the place of the officer first named.' The paragraph set forth above seems to contemplate that protes tants, if there be any, shall appear at the time and place mentioned in the published notice of hearing,' when protestant and claimant may O 0- o Z o Ask Your Grocer For .,..
