Sec. 125. Annexation of discontinued district to adjacent 
        district
        
    Whenever the cost of collecting the revenue from the sales of the 
public lands in any land district is as much as one-third of the whole 
amount of revenue collected in such district, it may be lawful for the 
President, if, in his opinion, not incompatible with the public 
interest, to discontinue the land office in such district, and to annex 
the same to some other adjoining land district.
