The need of Jocal foderal courts foi'
coiiBldoring the claims of now settlers
In Oregon has been understood "'
the people of Oregon for a number of
yonrs. Under ordinary cotulitiouB, any
matters Involving tho rights of a man
who secures- p. claim, and falls to
comply with one of the numerous rom
illations, required, must bo settled by
tho federal courts, often sitting; far
away from the home of the new set
tler and Involving a large expense, for
traveling, to say nothing of, the dis
advantage which any man may suffer
from having to deal with people un
familiar with, local conditions., ;.
.The establishment of local federal
courts, after, the style of circuit courts
will not only save time and expense,
but will enablo tlie officials to Judge
of conditions at first hand. This sys
tem will bring the government more
closeiyiin touch with the seitlers. . Jt
has been the complaint often In the
past that, although the; conditions for
obtaining land In Oregon are simple
enough theoretically, the situation cf
the actual settler' who goes out Into
a new section of country to build a
home is often' ..Jar from satisfactory;
It is Impossible for anyone not fa
tiiiilur with the obstacles with which
the settler has .to Contend to JuJga
accurately of any ;.: difficulty which he
may'have In reclaiming his alliii'.ieiit.
