THEY ALL DEMAND IT.
Locators of Siletz Homesteads Will Cottage Grove, Like Every City and
Get Lands They Fought For.
Town in the Union, Receives It.
With the passage by the United
States Senate of the bill authorizing
the issuance of patents to locators of
lands in the Siletz Indian reservation,
one of the most spectacular incidents
in the history of land fraud investiga
tions in Oregon is closed. In most •
part, the lands are extremely valuable
because of the growth of timber, and a
title to the land means that about 40
persons will be able to realize approxi
mately $10,000 each by the sale of the
lands.
In 1902, announcement that the reser
vation land might be homsteaded caused
a rush of settlers to that country.
Most of them took the lands under the
law which permitted commutation to
be made in 18 months after residence
Was established, the settler being re
quired to actually make his home upon
the lands. The pioneers of the forest
cleared some land, erected log cabins,
and in some instances planted orchards.
At the right time, they offered their
final proofs before the land office, which
were accepted.
The claims were pending for patent
in 1905 when disclosures as jto frauds in
Oregon caused a Presidential order to
be issued requiring all timber and
homestead filings to be investigated.
By that time, the settlers had leit
their lands. They said it was neces
sary to go elsewhere in order to secure
employment.
In 1909, squatters began going onto
the claims for the purpose of establis-
ing preference rights of entry should
the original filings be cancelled by the
land office. Test cases were brought
in the United States court the most
prominent being that of Chester V.
Hare against August Birkenfield. The
court was asked to issue an injunction
restraining Birkenfield from trespass
ing upon the lands which Hare had en
tered. On two occassions, the court
ruled that the proper relief to be
sought by Hare would be an action for
damages, and dismissed the case. At
torney Lafferty then went to Washing
ton and presented the situation to
members of the House and Senate
Committees on pubile lands.
People with kidney ills want to be
cured. When one suffers the tortures
of an aching back, relief is eagerly
sought for. There are many remedies
today that relieve but do not cure.
Here is evidence to prove that Doan’s
Kidney Pills cure, and the cure is last
ing.
L. Mathews, 813 Short St.,Roseburg,
Ore., says: “I am glad to confirm my
former endorsement of Doan’s Kidney
Pills. For several years I was troubled
by backache and other symptoms of
kidney complaint and all my efforts for
relief were unavailing until I procured
Doan’s Kidney Pills. -An injury was
the cause of my trouble. Being favor
ably impressed by several public state
ments given in favor of Doan’s Kidney
Pills, I procured a box and commenced
their use. This remedy strengthened
my kidneys and toned up my entire
system. I consider Doan’s Kidney Pills
the best medicine to be had for the
kidneys,”

HARVEST CELEBRATION.
City Recorder,
Let’s Get Togethet and Hold Farm Notice is hereby given that A. L,
Atlee and Claude Nagle have by mutual
ers’ Day This Fall.
Cottage Grove would do well to ar
range for a big farmers’ celebration in
this city, say at the park, after the
harvests are over this fall. Let’s have
a “Farmers’ Day,” and turn the town
over to the tillers of the soil; let prizes
be offered by merchants for the best
displays of cereals and fruits. The
Sentinel believes this gathering would
not only prove profitable to the farm
ers, but would bring the merchants and
rurals in closer touch with each other
and stimulate trade relations. If prop
erly managed the affair would be a
grand success. Let the merchants give
this matter serious thought, and work
out a plan for a harvest celebration.
Sheep Shearing Time Over.
Sheep shearing which has been in
progress during the past six weeks, has
about closed for the season with 2 large
number of the wool-bearing animals
clipped of their hirsute adornment.
Considerable quantities have been
marketed in Cottage Grove during the
past few weeks, and is still being re
ceived by the buyers. The price ranges
from 17 to 18 cents. The average
weight of fleece runs from 8 to 10
pounds, though in some instances as
high as 18 pounds has been secured,
these being fleeces from Cotswold ani
mals.
Turpentine From Fir.
B. F. Finn, of Vida, has 50 gallons
of turpentine which he distilled from
Douglas flr pitch. This pitch is found
in abundance in the vicinity of Vida,
and a large distilling plant may be in
stalled.
The Carlton Sentinel says V. C. Lon
don formerly of this city has purchased

London expects to move his family to
that place in the not very distant fu
ture.
