Mi '(WW THE DAILY OOOS BAY TIMES, MARSHFIELD, OREGON, SATURDAY, MARCH, 14, 1908. II ? MAN IS TRAMPLED BY tnnnntnnunnnnnntnn: X ALLEGANY NOTES. X Business Directory A JEALOUS HORSE. - - i MAY SUFFER If Uncle Finds Their Methods Illegal Prosecutions Will Follow. IS MAKING INVESTIGATION Government Olllciul lias Just Com pleted Extensive Trip Through tiio Coast States. O. C. Riches, postal Inspector, who has been investigating the actions of land locators who have been securing homesteaders to make offerings to tho Oregon & California railroad on the prospects that the land granted tho company some years ago is event ually to bo put on the market at $2. 50 an, acre, returned last night from an extended trip in Washington and Idaho. Mr. Riches will make the report of his findings to tho United States dis trict attorney of Oregon. Should the question be taken before the courts and It is found that the actions of the locators are illegal several thousand persona will be affected as they have been making these filings for months. Many technicalties are involved, how ever, and it is an open question in the minds of many attorneys whether the land agents are doing any business which could be considered irregular. Use Mails to Get Clients. Owing to the recent report of B. D. Townsend, who Investigated the grant last fall for tho department of Justice and whoso report was to the effect that the government should take steps to compel tho railroad to carry out the terms of the land grant, these locators have been unusually busy. Their business is not confined to Oregon and extends over practically nil of the states of tho northwest. Mr. Riches has been in Spokane and other Washington towns where these agents are particularly num'erous and where they have been using the mails to carry on their business. The business of tho locators is to secure customers and have them make offers to the railroad company of $400 for 160 acres of land grant holdings. Tho offer, of course, is re fused. Record of tho proposition Is made with the clerk of the county in which tho land is located. The claim of the locators Is that if tho railroad is forced to carry out the terms of the land grant those who are now making their filings will be given tho per ference owing to the offer for the land and that eventually they will come in possession of the property. May Lose Fees Pnid. Most of this land lies in the coun ties between Portland and the Cali fornia line. C. I. Leavengood, an at torney of Roseburg, is one of those who has located numerous home seekers. The locators, Mr. Riches found, charge from ?50 to $58 for their services, furnlbhing a survey and de scription of the land desired, and an estimate of tho timber, besides at tending to other details of tho tran saction. At Intervals tho agents go to San Francisco with tho names of those desiring land and make an off er to tho railroad official. Upon re fusal they return to the county seats and have the offers recorded. If it is found that tho dealings of tho locators are not irregular and that those now making offerings to the railroad arc to be given prefer ence over ajl other applicants several thousand persons who have entered into these Seals will get 100 acres of land for $400. That is, in case the railroad is forced to carry out the terms of the lqnd grant agreement. Should it bo found that the busi ness 'is Illegal, tho homeseekers will lose the money paid the locators and the agents prosecuted for the obtain ing money under false pretenses. Portland Journal.
