Final Proofs Guidance for Land Entries Preceding State Admission
Lewis A. Grorr, Commissioner, outlines that final proof notices for public land entries must name the specific place and officer and be made before that officer. After state admission, original officers cease to exist, so new notices must designate proper state officers and designations. Parties should be advised promptly once statehood is admitted. The passage ends with a lifelike aside about a pipe smoker asking a fortune teller.

He cited cost reductions from Hu ron convention efforts and predicted wells could be sunk for 1000 to 1200 dollars at 800 to 1000 feet.
