$700 on Slletz Claim, Then
Entry Is Canceled.
! HOQUIAM. Wash.. Aug. 14. (To the
Vjlltnr. 1 have Just read In The Ore-
sonian about the trouble on Slletx res
ervation. I am one of these settlers mr
self and would like to say a few words
about this matter. I filed on 160 acres
on Slletx reservation In 1901 I was
only a poor, working girl and did not
murh money at the time. I
had a nice cabin built on my claim.
bought a cook stove and cooking outfit,
raised garden truck, planted fruit trees
and lived in my cabin. At times I had
to go away to make some money to live
on. I bad no other home anywhere and
n rtn tlma I made final proof and
I thought I was entitled to a patent on my
claim.
The money I made when I was not on
my claim I rfpent making improvements
on it and everybody that knew about the
hardships I went through and how hard
1 worked for my claim, said that i was
certainly entitled to a patent if anyone
was.
After final proof was made. I waited
for my patent for two years and three
months. Then I received a notice that
my proof was rejected and entry was
beld up for cancellation. An appeal was
sent to the Secretary of the Interior, but
there "the cancellation was confirmed.
I was given 30 days In which to have
motion made for "review of the decision.'
I had an attorney to make a motion for
review for me. but got the answer: "Re
view denied."
Now. why are we settlers to lose our
homes that we worked on hard for years.
without being allowed a hearing? Any
criminal always gets a trial and Is given
a chance to say something for defense.
Why should not we settlers be allowed a
defense? Our claims are taken up for a
second time, this time by people from the
cities. They have thousands of dollars.
many of them, and can afford to live on
the claims every day in the year and
to hire people to pack provisions In the
woods to the claims, while we had to
pack our own things. They cannot make
any better farms than we did. because it
cannot be done before the timber is taken.
off.
They will not need to build cabins or
make trails. We did that. We cleared
and cultivated the land and planted fruit
trees. Now these new people will use
our gardens and the fruit. But because
they are. many of them, capitalists, and
have lots of money, they will, no doubt,
get thus claims that we worked so hard
for.
nere Goes a poor person stand a
chance to get a piece of this "free home
stead" land? I spent nearly $700 on my
, "free homestead," and that was all the
money I had. And still it was claimed
. that I did not show "good faith." I. for
my part, do not believe that' the SileU
settlers are being treated fairly.

MAZAMAS PRAISE OUTING

"Mr. Harrlman assured the people of
Klamath Falls that his railroad Into

four miles of Teeters Landing, from
which a river steamer is onerated to

be completed to Klamath Falls early
in 1909." said Mr. Allison vesterday.
"I found Mr. Harrlman an extremely
atiable man, and his attitude seemed
to give assurance of a live interest In
the further development of the south
eastern part of the state.
"Klamath- County Is undoubtedly the
uest all-round country I have ever seen.
Climatic conditions are all that could
be desired, and the Interests of that
section are greatly diversified. With
Government cinals and unlimited water
for irrigation purposes, with Immense
natural water power, and extensive
forests of sugar and yellow pine adja
cent to 70 'or SO miles of navigable riv
ers and lakes, affording the cheapest
kind of facilities for handling the raw
products or the forests, one must con
clude that it Is the best sort of a coun
try for development and for prosperity.
That section is especially adapted for
dairying and has a great future in that
direction.
Advent of Settlers.
Mammoth Car-Plant to Be Entirely
Reconstructed.
CHICAGO, Aug. 15. The Record-Herald
today says:
Pullman's mammoth shops are to be
razed and rebuilt upon a remodeled scale
for the express purpose of the manufac
ture of steel palace cars. Plans which
are to be put into immediate operation call
for revolutionizing of the method of build
ing the Pullman rolling stock. To accom
modate the greatly enlarged shops and
the new style machinery which is to be
Installed, the area of ground occupied by
the Pullman shops is to be Increased to
the extent of 60 acres. Work on the re
making of the city of Pullman and its
predominant industry would now be un
der way. but for the financial flurry last
Winter.
The report which gained general cre
dence in railroad circles among the finan
ciers yesterday was that the Pullman offi
cials had arrived at t.e point where im
mediate and rapid perfection of the plans
which have so long been In abeyance is
at hand.

Campflre Parties and Boating Trips
Features of Excursion to Spi
rit Lake Country.
That the success of the Mazama out
ing at Spirit Lake was largely due to
the excellent management of the mem-,
bers.of the outing committee was the
opinion expressed yesterday by Miss
Eleanor Gardner, who was a member ot
the party. To them also, she declares,
is due the fact that no mishaps occurred
during the ascent of the mountain. She
especially commends the efforts of Dr.
Otis Akin, Frank B. Riley, John A. Lee
and Edmund P. Sheldon, -in assisting
the women of .the party up the peaks.
Said Miss Gardner yestedray:
"The outing at Spirit Lake was a
complete success. Mr. Sheldon de
serves much credit for the able manner
in which he handled the crowd. Not
once was there a complaint of ajiy con
sequence. The commissary was entire
ly satisfactory to everyone. Tents
were provided for all members of the
party. Everyone chefse, however, to
sleep out of doors. "
"With the exception of Wednesday
night, when it rained, this practice was
followed. There were campflre parties
every night, and they were very enter
taining. There were boats enough to
permit of trips about the lake.
"Of course, the chief event ' of the
outing was the climb up the mountain.
The party was too large to begin with
and was hampered by those who were
not equal to the exertion. When these
returned to the camp we made better
headway. We were on the summit only
about 20 minutes, as it was then 7
o'clock and an icy wind was blowing.
It was worth the climb even for that
short time to look out over the wall of
fog and smoke and watch the sinking
red sun. The glow on Mounts Hood,
Rainier and Adams was magnificent.
"Another party made the ascent last
Monday in four hours and a half from
the timber line. This was possible for
the reason that the members were all
strong and were able to follow the
route marked out by our party. This
second party was also able to descend
during the day by sliding over the
snow. This we were not able to do,
because of the darkness."
JOINT FUND BEING RAISED
Grange and Labor Federation Fight
for Initiative, and Referendum.
Funds are being , raised jointly by
the State Grange and the Oregon State
Federation of Labor to carry to the
United States Supreme Court, if it be
comes necessary, the suit in which the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany has attacked the constitutional
ity of the Initiative and referendum
amendment to the state constitution.
The Grange already has set aside an
appropriation of S600 for this purpose
and has appealed to the various labor
organizations affiliated with the State
Federation of Labor to make a similar
appropriation. The Federated Trades I
Council, the central body of the labor
unions of this city, has made a dona
tion of $50 towards such a fund and
the other labor organizations through
out the state will be expected to add
to the subscription.
The attack on the Initiative and ref
erendum amendment is the first mat
ter of legislation Jointly to be defended
by these two organizations. Several
months ago the state- officers of the
Grange proposed to the State Federa
tion of Labor the feasibility of co-operating
on all subjects of public inter
est in which the two bodies naturally
should be interested. The ' proposal
was accepted by the. labor representa
tives, and all legislation that may be
indorsed by these organizations will be
supported officially by both.
