Congressman Sinnott Wants
to Hear from Homesteaders
Washington, Dec. 2B. The culti
vation clause of the three-year
homestead law Imposes a hardship
on many settlers who seek to avail
themselves cf that statute, and yet
the Interior Department and many
members of Congress, especially
those from the East, are opposed to
the repeal of that clause. As the
law now stands, a homesteader
must cultivate 10 acres of a 160
acre homestead the second year and
20 acres the next year and there
after until he receives a patent.
Representative Sinnott, of Ore
gon, who-has received many com
plaints from homesteaders In his
district, has had this question up
with the officials of the Interior De
partment and with members of the
House committee on public lands,
and his Inquiries have convinced
him that the cultivation clause must
stand. Furthermore, he fears that
Congress will not pass the Borah
bill which proposes, in lieu of culti
vation, to permit a homesteader to
make permanent improvements on
his land to the extent of f 1.50 an
acre a year. '
So Mr. Sinnott has drafted a
compromise, which he styles a
"deferred residence," homestead
law, and he will undertake, after
the holiday recess, to obtain action
on this bill by the public lands com
mittee. The Sinnott bill provides
that a homesteader need not take

up his residence on the land he
seeks to acquire until three years
after he makes his filing. In other
words, he may make his filing but
need not live on the land until three
later, unless he so desires.
However, if the homesteader
elects to avail himself of this privi
lege, he must enter on the cultiva
tion of one thirty-second of his
entry the second year, and must in
crease the cultivated area each year
for four successive years. Where
the entryman files on a quarter-section,
he must cultivate not less than
five acres the second year, 10 acres
the third yer, 15 acres th fourth
year and 20 acres the fifth year.
If the entryman desires to be re
lieved of residence on his land dur
ing the first one, two or three
years, as the bill provides, he can
not make final proof until five years
from the date of his initial filing.
In all other respects he comes under
the provisions of the law as it now
stands, and will be entitled to five
months' leave of absence from his
entry during each of the years be is
required to maintain and show
residence.
The Sinnott bill does not repeal
existing law, nor does it deny any
homesteader the privilege of getting
title to a quarter section of land
under the law as it stands, but
merely offers an alternative plan,
which Mr. Sinnott believes' will be

seek land that is difficult to clear
and bring into cultivation.
Safeguards are incorporated in
the bill to prevent speculative oper
ations under the deferred residence
clause, so tfiat no man, if he desires
to enter a tract of land in trie inter

Department and Obtain an early
report.
NOTE . '
Mr. Editor Will you ask your
readers to write me their opinion
of the bill; and offer any sugges
tions or changes which might im
prove it, with reasons. It will also
help me greatly in getting the bill
through if settlers would write me I
their experiences and hardships on
homesteads on account of the pres
ent requirement that they , take up
residence in sijc months after filing.
These would be even more effective
if illustrated with photos of snap
shots showing the difficulties of
taking up a homestead. Armed
with these stories and pictures I
can present the matter more effec
tively to the Public Lands Com

Oregon homesteaders for anything
vou may do to present this plan to
your readers, I am, with best
wishes, very truly yours,

Christmas Week and
the Cattle Market
North Portland, Ore., Dec. 26.
Receipts for the week have been
Cattle 1117, calves 6, hogs 3477,
sheep 4028. .
Christmas week with its round of
gaiety played havoc with the gen
eral run of stock so that while the
run was very short, the quality of
stuff was to some extent good, the
feature of the cattle market being
a lot of good steers which sold at
$8.10, the highest price for some
time, range being from $6.25 to
$8.10; bulk around $7.50.
' A short run of hogs and an off
market were the main factors in
the week's business. Beginning
with Monday the tops were $7.75,
closing at $7.65, quality not good.
The market may be expected to
take a better turn beginning with
the new year's activity.
Lambs selling at $6.50 beginning
of the week and still in strong de
mand at this quotation. For good
strong stuff ewes and wethers are
quoted proportionally for the same
quality.

Calhoun and Thorp
Must Stand Trial
W. C. Calhoun and Willis Thorp,
who were indicted by the grand
jury of this county for complicity
in the wholesale horsestealing that
sent William and V. M. Robertson
to . the penitentiary, and who had
been resisting in the Washington
courts proceedings to bring them to
this jurisdiction for trial, have
finally lost their cases in the
supreme court of the state of
Washington and will now have to
appear in this jurisdiction to
answer the charge. The case was
decided in the Washington supreme
court last week and the Oregon,
process was held to be good.
Are You Violating
the New Law?
There was a law passed by the
last legislature respecting assumed:
business names which a great many
business men are not aware of, and
which they are unconsciously violat
ing notwithstanding the $100 fine
connected with its violation. The
caption of this law as it appears in
the 1913 Session Laws, reads as
follows:
"Regulating the conduct of a
business under an assumed name
and making it unlawful for any
person to so conduct a business
without filing with the county clerk
in the county in which said business
is conducted) and the real name or
names of the persons conducting;
the same."
Another law passed at the last
session, also effecting business
names, is one requiring any corpora
tion using the word "trust" in its
name to deposit with the state the
sum of $50,000 in cash. This neces
sitates a number of corporations
throughout the state revising their
names, and effects one local company.
