It is understood he has a standing offer of a professorship at Huron ieae hi Belle Fourche and Rapid City, both of which are handling only the min eral lands of the state. It is probable that these two offices will also be combined and all the mine lands handled from one office at either Rapid City or Belle Fourche. This consolidation of the four land offices of the state into one in Pierr-' will mean a great thing for the city. It will bring to the city all the land office records of the state, with the exception of the Belle Fourche and Kapid City offices, and require the employment of four additional clerks in the local office, ll will also mean bringing to Pierre a large numiber ol people each year who will necessar ily have to transact their business through the Pierre lan doffice.
