President Roosevelt discusses with Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock why he is “rather puzzled” by the report and statements on the Register and Receiver of the Land Office at Boise, Idaho. Several men in the land office in Idaho may have acted against official conduct, and may be removed from office. Roosevelt asks if they should wait to discuss the issue with the land office upon returning to Washington D. C.
