AUG 5. 1904 857.525 HOMES John Quincy Adams Richard son rode over yesterday from bis farm, tbe bomeHead he located on in December 1862, half year after President Lin coln approved tbe Homestead law. Tbe Richardson farm with its broad fields of grain and meadows, orchard bending with fruits, garden wberein all edi bles grow in luxurious wealth, comfortable dwelling, convenient outbuildings and spacious barns, is in marked contrast with tbe wild prairie it was when he said "woah" to bis weary team and told bis wife aud children to "get out for . this is home," 42 years ago. The difference in the place now and tben repre sents the work done thereon over a living. A chat with the old home steader, as he told of his crops and referred with honorable pride to the fact that he yet re sided on his homestead and that tbe gift by the government of a wild tract of land in a remote valley 300 miles from tide water, was to him tbe gift of a verit able home, or at least the basis of a home, set our, thoughts to wandering back to the daye when there was no homestead law. FreBh to our minds came tbe long years of struggle in Congress for a homestead law, led by Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, which lasted for ten years, from 1851 to 1862 when he had the proud satisfac tion of siguing the homestead bill as speaker of the House of of Representatives, the same bill that President Lincoln approved May 20, 1862. lu bis ten years fight for the homestead law he succeeded in getting a bill through both houses of Congress but President Buchanan vetoed it, and the democracy said amen. But the republicans by their platform in 1856 and 1860 pledged, if given a chance, they would pass nomesteaa law, and wueu on March 4, 1861, Liucoln was in augurated, whioh so oflended many democratic members of Congress that they abandoned their seats and went out and assisted in organizing the South em Confederacy tbat the repub licans had a go"d working majority in Congress. Notwithstanding the perplex! ties incident to the Civil war tbe republicans did not forget Ibeir pledge to the people aud homestead law was pissed May 20, 1802, the same law that Richardson the following December away out here in Grande Ronde valley secured his present home under. Our people are familiar with the homestead law but there are few who ever stop to think how rnauy people that law enabled to become owners of their own homes in fee eitsple. People ought to know aud we will tell thorn From tbe passage of the homestead law May 20, 1862, to June 30. 190240 years, 608,- 625 homesteaders made final proofs aud acquired titles to their homes covering 89,637,704 acros. Since 1902, iu the year ending June 30, there were homestead entries in the several land offices in tbe United States coveting 11,193,120 acres We have not the official figures for the year eudiug June 30, 1904 but feel warranted in placing the number of acres filed ou by homeste ders at 10,000,000. By adding the entries for the last two years to the area envered by dual proofs to last of 1902 and I it will ippear that Ht 'ea-t have sfeureil 1 857,525 pt-r.-oiB b trues by re. son if I lie act, Po.ti.omo. at U covering IJO,80,84 W as eeeond Class' To real'ze what ah that uutn jber of homes metum let it he re- 'i called tbat in all Orecoii in towns, cities, mines, t.hi.ut taw mill ami on farms in l'MM ihe.re , were but 87,525 homes in Ore- gon, annul one-tentli tne number of homes acquired under the Homesteud Act.
