SETTLERS GET
HOMESTEADS
Government Passes Title
To Siletz People
A number of Polk county
people IjomeBteaded land in
the Siletz country and Sec.
Hitchcock held ud their
claims, refusing them pat
ents. Word was received a
few days ago that the U. S.
Government had issuel a
patent to three of these
claims. The Daily Capital
Journal in mentioning the
matter says;
"The three lucky men who
wert. favored last week are
Richard Paul, of Falls
City; P. A. Finseth, of Dal
las; and W. L. Wells of Hal
fey. The Siletz reservation was
opened for settlement under
the homestead act of 1902,
but un account cf the densi
ty of the timber on the land
and the lack of roads and
section lands, it was practic
ally impossible for the home
stead law to be complied
with. But because of the
valuable timber on the land
the Bettlers were reluctant to
relinquish their claims.
Some of the Bettlers ex
pended several thousand dol
lars each in the attempt to
improve the lands. Upon
the attempt of Sec. Hitch
cock to oust them, those
who really gave in were out
their money and their efforts.
The land that was given
up by the settlers was at
once grabbed by the land
agents of the Northern Pacif
ic, the Weyerhouses and oth
er interests. Many of those
who persisted in keeping
their claims, and who took
to the courts, lost their de
cision, hut, under the new
condition, t ie chances of ob
taining patents to the claims
are exceedingly promising to
the present claimants."
