LAWRENCE EXPLAINS THE
FOREST RESERVE MIXUP
The followin)i statement rejjardinjr
the misinformation published broadcast
ftbont the I'mpoua forest reserve is
issued by Receiver J. M. Uiwrcnce:
A irrcat deal of mislondiiiff inforina-
havc been sold regularly since (lie local ( tion has been pulilisliini; about the forth
loon, inw- wem inio eneoi to a large coming elimination or certain lands
from the rmp,piu forest reserve. Ad
! vantage has been taken of the land
hunger of the people and their lack
of technical knowledge ,and a large
number have been induced bv false and
misleading statements tn send money
to abstractors for information they
would have had no interest in if they
had known the truth.
It is true that nearly li'J.OOO acres of
lauds are to be eliminated from the
t mptpia national fores!, but it is not
true that such area is- ;o be restored,
or opened," to entr,, for the very
good reason that more than Sill per
cent of the lauds n.-e ll.. Iidv in i.rivnte
owncc-hip and control. Hut little more
l linn per cent of there lands are va
cant and subject to o-itry lierenfter.
tp to March '2. 1'siT, ;!. entire tract
was open to entry by .pialified appli
cants, and the portions remnininir va
cant include the less d. Hrnblo land in
that section. When anything has been
picked up until but oi e twentieth re
mains, it is not to be expected that
such remainder is "choice " of even
nvcrnge. We have no reason to suppose
that there are any "choice dairy,
fruit and timber tracts" in the area
to be opened, though tastes differ, and
it may be that somebody would regard
some of the land as choice.
Settlers are permitted to go upou
the vacant lands within the area des
crilieil on nnd after December 21, but
not before tliat (late, while entries nt
the land office are not permitted until
.lanunry 20. Since entries other than
homestead must be accompanied bv
showing that tho land is unoccupied,
it follows that occillmncv seli1...n
before January 20 will defeat adverse
applicat ion for the land on or after
January 20. The presence of the set
tler upon the Innd will prevent the non
occupnncy showing necessary for entry
o.v one n nn is not a settler.
Tho misrepresentation of the facts
in this ense seem to have been for the
purpose of eiciting interost in order
that "information" plats and lists
might be sold by the local abstract
companies. A plain statement of the
truth would not have eieited much in.
tcrest. Multitudes of honest homeseek
ers have been misled by this mischiev
ous exploitation. Those who k
ongnged in it have been denied further
access to the land office records, but
it will be imiMlssihln to tl..
already dune.
