It has been published frequently that 91, (KM) acres of land were to be thrown open to the publie and that it coin- prised the best timber and farming sections of a rich tor jfritory. In reality there is but 8500 acres of land to lie f restored to entry, none of it choice land, most of it nioun- ' tain tops, scantily timbered, the undesirable land left after years of culling by settlers. The impression was created by the advertisements that the land was in a solid block instead of only a few forties and eighties, and an occasional quarter section scattered throughout eight townships, u'n- T occupied bebecause of their probable wortlilossnoss. , On account of the great publicity given the notice in the newspapers, a large number of persons have left their " homes, given up positions, and sold their little all, to go fand secure a home in the free lands offered them by the 'government in the Umpqua forest reserve. ; "No doubt these combined losses will run up into the hundreds of thousands of dollars and be borne by subjects of tlie United States whose circumstances crmincl flinin to yinake a living for themselves and their families by their Uiands, but who are anxious to better their condition. I If these lands were valuable, why were they not filed I upon during all the long years previous to last duly, at which time this reserve was created ? ,' ,1).och it not appear, in this instance, that the govern .nient is doing, not only an injustice to the thousands of Vporsous who will be disappointed when they learn the cliar actor and meager amount of land which is to lie tin-own jfopen, but an injustice to the state of Oregon t FOR SALE r,v., J.OTS UNDER THE DITCH IN PI TORN FX.
