Commissioner Tallman, of the General Land Office, today instructed the local land office to surpend Instead of reject entirely applications for entry undfr the Sin nott enlarged homestead act amend ment, pending the receipt of printed instructions, which are now being pre pared and will be received soon. Prior to the Issuance of this order thelocal land offices had been rejecting appli cations because they had no printed regulations to guide them. Mr. Sinnott pointed out to the Land Department that this was working a hardship on many homesteaders who desired to file on additional quarter sections at once, in that it compelled them to go to the expense and bother of taking an appeal to the General Lanf Office to preserve a preference right to file on the particular tracts tliev had selected.

Annulment of Contract for Pur chase of 1000 Acres at $60,000 Is Sought. L. L. LEVINGS IS PLAINTIFF FALSE VALUATION ALLEGED .Defense Denies Charges, Says Prop erty Was Inspected and Blame for .Dissatisfaction Laid to Dis sension Anions Colonists. ALBANY, Or., April 26. (Special.) A case involving a $60,000 contract and the sale of 1000 acres of land to the colony of Russian Doukhobors which located In Linn County about two years asro went to trial before Judge Gallo way in the State Circuit Court here today. In this case the Russians are suing E. ,T. Hecker. of this city, from' whom they purchased the land, for a re scission of the contract, the repayment of S8906.36. which they have paid on the purchase price, and $7318.65. which they allege is the value of the improve ments which they have made on the property. The Doukhobors came here two years ago from 'Western Canada and pur chased 1000 acres of land near Peoria, about 13 miles south of this city, the tract purchased lying along the Wil lamette River and just south of the village of Peoria, which it almost ad joins. They formed a corporation - called the Society of Independent Poukhobors, which made the purchase of the land, contracting to pay $60 an acre for it. the total purchase price of SSO.OOQ to be paid in installments. This contract was made May 8, 1913. and later in that year 23 families of touk hobors settled oh the land and began farming it. Misrepresentation I Alleged. In this case, which was Instituted last December, the Russians are at' tempting to set aside the contract on the ground of alleged misrepresents, ' tions at the time they purchased the land. They assert that they were told that the land would prodtfee oats to the value of $15 an acre and upward, They say that they were told that ad joining land had been sold at from ,$75 to $100 an acre and they allege that they found that 43 acres of the tract was in the bed of the Willam ette River and that 45 acres more was on an Island which overflows. The plaintiffs also allege that they could not understand Knglish and re lied on the Judgment of one M. F. Reibin. who represented them in the transaction. They allege that Reibin was influenced to misrepresent things to them. In his answer the defendant asserts that the plaintiffs made a full and thorough examination of the land be fore they purchased It. He denies that misrepresentations were made and says that the Russians were correctly in formed of the location of the land and had obtained a knowledge of its char acter by examination before the dea was completed. The answer sets forth that- the --defendant agreed with plain tiffs that . the price for the 4d acres of land said to be in the Willamette River should be deducted from the purchase price at lho time of the final payment. That the plaintiffs have placed far too high a valuation on the improvements placed on- the land is also maintained by the defendant. Internal Dimension Asserted. It is said that a cause of this lltiga tlon arising independently from com plaints with the character of the land Is A jssatisfaction among some of the colonists over their working agree mont. They went upon the land under a "community plan and while a later arrangement was made whereby the corporation was to turn over certain tracts to the Individuals all must bend their energies toward the payment of the purchase price and the discharg ing of the contract with the seller of the land first, it is reported tha.t some of the colon lsts are much more industrious than others and this has caused dissension, Some of them are said to be willing to make substantial payments on the Individual tracts which will come to them, but under .the terms of the! contracts must apply the payments on the purchase price as a whole, so are forced to join the majority in this lit! cation. These Doukhobors Bettled In Western Canada, but became dissatisfied ther because of the cold Winters and wished for a. country which had a milder ell mate, so that they could raise fruit. Representatives were sent to th Willamette Valley two years ago and after inspecting various districts pur chased the land at Peoria. Some o the purchasers have been residing there since.
