A JEALOUS HORSE.
- - i
MAY SUFFER
If Uncle Finds Their Methods
Illegal Prosecutions Will
Follow.
IS MAKING INVESTIGATION
Government Olllciul lias Just Com
pleted Extensive Trip Through
tiio Coast States.
O. C. Riches, postal Inspector, who
has been investigating the actions of
land locators who have been securing
homesteaders to make offerings to
tho Oregon & California railroad on
the prospects that the land granted
tho company some years ago is event
ually to bo put on the market at $2.
50 an, acre, returned last night from
an extended trip in Washington and
Idaho.
Mr. Riches will make the report of
his findings to tho United States dis
trict attorney of Oregon. Should the
question be taken before the courts
and It is found that the actions of the
locators are illegal several thousand
persona will be affected as they have
been making these filings for months.
Many technicalties are involved, how
ever, and it is an open question in the
minds of many attorneys whether the
land agents are doing any business
which could be considered irregular.
Use Mails to Get Clients.
Owing to the recent report of B.
D. Townsend, who Investigated the
grant last fall for tho department of
Justice and whoso report was to the
effect that the government should
take steps to compel tho railroad to
carry out the terms of the land grant,
these locators have been unusually
busy.
Their business is not confined to
Oregon and extends over practically
nil of the states of tho northwest.
Mr. Riches has been in Spokane and
other Washington towns where these
agents are particularly num'erous and
where they have been using the mails
to carry on their business.
The business of tho locators is to
secure customers and have them
make offers to the railroad company
of $400 for 160 acres of land grant
holdings. Tho offer, of course, is re
fused. Record of tho proposition Is
made with the clerk of the county in
which tho land is located. The claim
of the locators Is that if tho railroad
is forced to carry out the terms of the
land grant those who are now making
their filings will be given tho per
ference owing to the offer for the
land and that eventually they will
come in possession of the property.
May Lose Fees Pnid.
Most of this land lies in the coun
ties between Portland and the Cali
fornia line. C. I. Leavengood, an at
torney of Roseburg, is one of those
who has located numerous home
seekers. The locators, Mr. Riches found,
charge from ?50 to $58 for their
services, furnlbhing a survey and de
scription of the land desired, and an
estimate of tho timber, besides at
tending to other details of tho tran
saction. At Intervals tho agents go
to San Francisco with tho names of
those desiring land and make an off
er to tho railroad official. Upon re
fusal they return to the county seats
and have the offers recorded.
If it is found that tho dealings of
tho locators are not irregular and
that those now making offerings to
the railroad arc to be given prefer
ence over ajl other applicants several
thousand persons who have entered
into these Seals will get 100 acres of
land for $400. That is, in case the
railroad is forced to carry out the
terms of the lqnd grant agreement.
Should it bo found that the busi
ness 'is Illegal, tho homeseekers will
lose the money paid the locators and
the agents prosecuted for the obtain
ing money under false pretenses.
