ROSEBURG, Or., Sept. 27. (Special.)
That thousands of persons through
out the United States have parted with
various sums of cash through fraudu
lent locations on lands of the Oregon &
California Railway, was the statement
made today by Register Jones, of the
Roseburg United States Land Office.
"Hundreds of persons write to this
office asking for information regard
ing these lands," said Slfi Jones, many
. . , . ih.v limn Darted with
their money. We have always sent out
a circular letter to peoyw -
quiries about lands in this district, giv
ing the amount of vacant land by coun
ties, the character of the land, a gen
eral description of the country, and
last but not least, the climatic condi
tions that prevail.
"About two years ago the inquiries
became so numerous regarding avail
able railroad lands that we added a
paragraph to the original letter. In
this paragraph we informed the inquir
ers that a case was pending in the
United States courts at Portland, and
- -1 ..1..!.. ...a a .MPhMl H V that
court, in all probability, the case would
be appealed to the next higher court
and so on until It would finally be set
tled in the Supreme Court of the United
States. To carry the case to the hlgn-
, v, TTnii..t States, we
est triDunai wi -J1" ... ' .
informed our Inquirers that five or ' six
years would prODaoiy eiapao.
no one would have a preference right
by settling upon the lands, and we quot
ed a portion of the act applying there
to, as iouowa.
" 'That none of the lands reverting to
the United States, by virtue .y
- n.r.ihiM Aforesaid, shall
. i. . . n .ntrv under any OI
the public land laws of the United
States or the Initiation of any right
whatever under any of the public land
laws of the United States.'
"In two years we have mailed out
more than 6000 of these circular letters
to people in the various states and ter
ritories of the Union.
"P T. Barnum's oft saying, 'that the
American people like to be humbugged,
applies to many of these cases. We
have had people come to our office and
make Inquiries about these lands and
after we had advised them as to the
law as we understood it, some of them
went out of the office and paid some
one a good sum for locating them on a
tract of this land. From Information
gleaned from different people all over
the country who have been located by
these various locators, the usual way
la for the locator to open an office in
some city, say Chicago or Bt Louis and
advertise In the nwsPaPe .i?
Government had won Its suit 'inst
the railroad company and that 2.600 000
acres of fine timber lands would soon
be open to settlement: that they had
the description of the lands that would
be opened and could give Inside jnIV
matlon. They would stay In that of
fice for two or three weeks and work
all the people possible and then go Into
the country after more victims
"Some locators simply the P"Ty
a printed statement which related that
a certain tract of this land would run
from 10.000.000 to 15.000.000 feet of
timber, and by making application at
the proper land office they would be
given a preference right to file on the
land when It was opened to settlement
Others represented that the land would
be sold for J2.50 an acre, and that upon
submitting 'a receipt for the location
fees, the railroad company would give
them a description of a quarter section
of this land which would cruise sev
eral million feet. It was al so "pre
sented by some locators that after the
appHcant had acquired title the land
the locator would gladly give said ap
plicant from $3000 to 5000 for his land.
"All kinds of schemes were worked.
Some of these locators wt "
far as to collect land office filing fees
so we are advised In letters received
from those who paid them their money.
"A number of persons who were vic
timized by these locators have filed
regular homestead applications In this

without solicitation the honor of
being elected vice-president of
the National Farmers' Union, at
Its convention at Salina, Kan,
when A. V. Swift, living on his
ranch near Baker, was elected.
Mr. Swift went to the conven
tion unprepared for the honor,
and Georgia went with a delega
tion prepared to capture the of
fice for a Georgia man. Mr.
Swift was asked to take the of
fice because of his effective work
In the organization, despite that
he was the only delegate from
Oregon. Washington sent only
two and California sent only one,
these being the only representa
tion of the Far West and North
west. Mr. Swift is a real Oregon
product, having been born in
Baker County 39 years ago. He
Is a sclentlflo farmer, having
gained much of his knowledge
while at the University of Ore
gon, at Eugews, which he left In
1897 to go back to the farm.
Mr. Swift has been credited
with having the first round barn
in the state. It is 60 feet In
diameter and 86 feet high, hav
ing a capacity of 250 tons of hay
and 20 head of stock, besides a
large amount of grain.
