HOMESTEADERS TEAR ADVERSE DECISIONS KLAMATH DITCH CONTRACT SOON TO HE AWARDED KLAMATH PALLS, Or., August I. llolneslcaders in the timber belt in this section grow more shaky every nine a decision in a content is rendered. In several cases where the settlers fell they had complied with the law and had nothing lo fear from the decision, the officials at Lakeview have decided in favor of the conteiitiinls. Pour decisions have just been receiv ed here. Two of them involve sage brush lands on Ihe California Oregon line. In both of these ruses Ihe evi dence Hhowcd lhat Ihe In .-slenders hnd resided upon the lands, as in pre scribtsl by law, but I hey had not im proved nnd cnltivntisl the lands. The improvements and cultivation were held as a mere pretense, and the entries for ordered canceled. Two other cases, in which the parlies had coiiimniited on llie lands siiine twn years before the contest affidavits were filed, lime been decided, and in both instances the decisions have gone lo the contestants. These claims were valuable for Ihe timber growing on Ihem, bill the parties had entered them under the homestead act, nnd, nftet an eights' months' residence, made com mutation proof. The officials al Lake view held that Ihe lands wcle filed iili lo get Ihe timer, and IK't to lloike a home; thai the parties del tml nc'nalh reside upon and cultivate the lands, but merely made a pielinse to do these things. After summing up the evidence Illl onitlion adverse to the Inunesl ea.lers wns rendensl nnd the commutation commutation prpoopfs ordered rejected and llie entries held for cuucellal inn. Several decisions rendered in tin prist months hnvo been nliout the same in effect, and it is becoming gcucialh recognized by the settlers in Ihe woo-ln tliAt it will bo ttnpossible tor them tn make final proof on limbered hoin ntPAd. In order lo neiiuin' Ihe lands most of them are reliniiiisliing and placing timber and sloae filings on the claims. POLITICS AND POLITICOANS. 4 t'EfrosB. omoos m. It Assures Safety Stat Depositary.
