(Special. ) It has Just come to the notice of the local land office in this city that a great deal of misrepresentation is being indulged In by parties In tnis city wno would benefit thereby in reference to the restoration to entry of a part of the Umpn.ua forest reserve. The facts in the matter are: On March 2, 1907. the Government withdrew from the public domain with other lands 92.000 acres of land and established them in the Umpq.ua forest reserve- on tnese w,vw acres were many settlers, and much land had been taken under the timber, land laws, practically all of the valuable land. About two months ago the Government decided to restore to entry the unsettled and unappropriated tracts remaining in the. 92,000 acres, and a notice to that effect was published. The land thus thrown open is therefore not the entire 92.0o0 acres, but that land which was un appropriated prior to March 2, 1907, when the lands were taken into the reserve, which, according to the local land office, .. . - . .
