It is popularly supposed that pio neering is a lost art that no longer do men mid women go far into thu wilds mid hu'w a homu out of the wilderness and live isolated lives. That, howovor, ami bo refuted by anyone who euros to take a trip into the mountains by some of the iiiojo iinfieipiciited roads and trails. Thero they will find cabins iu the clear iugs where all the conditions that mudo tho pioneer of fifty years ago a hero still iu existence, It is true that thu pioneer of to- day may not bo as far from civiliza tion as his predecessors, but it makes littlo difforenco whether your nra 7fi miles or 100 miles from a railroad or a doctor or a public library. You will get thorn just about as often iu either caso. The homo building instinct is tho motive that drives tho homesteader into tho wilds. No one has been able to sit down and figure out wherein thero wiir any profit to tho who goes into thu hills, far from all thu com forts and oven human companship, and files on a niece of land. I Mo must live on tho land five years I and it costs iu labor nnd expenditure from .f.')0 to $100 per acre to clean ( the land. In very few instances does the laud reach that value iu thu life .of the original locator. This applies more particularly to the present day boniest eadur. j In tho past, where a man could take up u piece of valley land, ho did so with a reasonable certainty that before long a railroad company would build a road through tho coun try and thus his laud would cnlianco in value. But that is not true of the' present time as the only unoccupied public laud lies far back iu tho hills where it will be a long time before a railroad builds if ever. There aro two kinds of, homestead ers, the kind of men thatgo afar and select a claim because they wish a home or love thu woodland are the real homesteaders. It wns for these that thu homestead act was passed. The other kind aru those that file on lads as dummies, for some corno.'- ation which wants tho land, or who files on it for speculative purposes. Sad to say, thero are nnd have been many in this class. Some years ago the world was shocked by tho revelations as to tho methods of big corporations in their efforts to secure tho public domain. Francis J. Money won his spurs as a great prosecutor in thu Oregon land fraud cases. These prosecutions revealed tho fact that literally thousands of clerks and others had been shipped to Ore gon to file on sonic of tho finest tim ber lauds iu the world as homestead ers. Thev made scarcely anv pre- ! This department Is a regular week ly feature, doallnp with all phases of J the fruit and produce world. tenso of cultivation. There aro mu ny iustnnces of records where home steaders have attempted to make proof with less than an aero of himi cleared. Their residence consistc J mainly of going to it and spending a night on it at some intorvals, usual ly once in six months. However it was not only those who were sent from tho east that did this. Tho Oregonians soon learned tho gamu and played it with vim Within thu last year a loading busi ness man attempted to prove up a ehoico piece of land located -U miles from his own town where he lived. Ho had a small ono-room shack on his homestead and n small patch of land under semi-cultivation. In town ho had a largo bu&iuoss which employed six or soven clerks. IIj lived in a $5000 home and his wife was ono of tho lenders in socioty of. the place, whilo ho was prominont in public and civil affairs. Despite all of this , this man was willing t) swear boforo tho commissioner that his home was on his homestead. I0 (Continued on Page 13.) IN THE FRUIT GROWING WORLD Conducted by Charles W.
