SUBSCRIPTION HATES One Year - fl 50 Six Months - - 75 Three Months - 50 New Postal Law. The United States Postal Depart ment has maile new regulations in rcga nl to carrying second-class mail matter (such as newspajiers, mag-' azines, periodicals, etc.) the same going into effect January 1, 1908, and allowing the publishers to April 1, 1 '.MIS, to prepare their suhscrip- tion lists in accordance with the new order of things. The effect of the change practically com pells the establishment of new relations be tween the publisher and subscriber of unity papers. The department ruling requires that subscriptions to weekly newspap ersentitled tothc seci md class postage rate shall not lc delinquent longer than one year. The mails are not forbidden to subscrik'rs who are in arrears longer than the time provided in Hie new ruling, but these subscri lers are placed in a seperate classi fication, requiring a higher rate of postage, the rate being so high that publishers could not afford to send papers at the price of subscription. The reason given by the gover ment for making this order is that second class mail natter is being carried through the mails at a rate for postage thereon which is less than the cost of carriage. The Leader has U'en very lenient with its delinquent subscribers and we do not want to drop any sub scribers from our list, but as Uncle Sam has spoken, we must request the few who are in arrears to settle at once. Are After Siletz Timber. At the instance of Senator Bourne the Commissioner of the General Land Oflice has directed Special Agent Glavis to investigate alleged conspiracy on the part of certain Portland attorneys to dispossess homesteaders of holdings in the Siletz Indian Reservation and- to exact blackmail from settlers against whom contests have been instigated, says the Oregon 'News Bureau of Washington D. C. , in Oreg n Journal The action of the Commissioner grows out of complaints filed with Senator Bourne by Lee Smith and Eva C. Smith, of Dallas, that con tests had been filed against them by Joseph Parker, and that later they " received letters from William G. Gosslin, offering to arrange, with the contestant for a consideration, and from A. W. Lafferty offering to guarantee a patent for $500. Many similar cases are known to exist and the department will in vestigate with a view to prosecution of the parties found guilty of crime in relation to extensive contesting . of Siletz homesteaders. The above order will please the average settler who lias lcen wait ing patiently for some sort of an in vestigation into the situation on the Siletz. Many homesteaders on the Siletz went on their lands, cultiva ted, made roads and trails and re sided on their claims with the in tention of somo day being finally financially able to make homes. In almixst every instance where a settler took up an open or brush land claim and actually resided on and cultivated and improved same his proof has been held up on some charge and he is finally notified by the Govcrment to appear and 6how cause why his claim should not lo canceled. The settler then asks for a date to be Bet for his hearing and that is the end of it. A very few ' have had dates set but- when they appear they learn that the .govern ment has postponed his case indefi- AT MIDDLEKAUFP & .

On the other hand where several men have gone in together ami set tled on heavily timbered claims, worth from ten to twenty thousand dollars each, in many instances never having resided on the land nor in any way improving same, their proofs have been in nearly every case, received without trouble. Most of these claims have since passed into the bands of large lum bering concerns. Perhaps . those I large lumbering concerns had noth ing to do with the settler getting his proof through, and perhaps ; they did. We don't know, in fact ! tlie average homesteader isn't sup j posed to know anything. We know of a poor man who filed on one of those open brush land claims, built a house, moved there with his family and resided' continuously during the three years required, cultivated crops each year, built six or seven miles of wagon roads, several miles of trails, etc. lie made a good proof, his proof was suspended "pending investigation of a special inspector," three years and two months after making proof was notified to appear within thirty days and show cause why his claim should not be rejected and entry canceled. The charge being "that entryman had never resided on the land." A denial of the charge was filed with the Register of the land oflice and a date asked for his hear ing. That was four months ago and no date has been set by the Governient. This man recently received a pro position from a man who was a Government inspector who inspec ted this claim while acting as such inspector, but since quitting the Government service is practicing law in Portland to handle his case and to secure patent to the land for the small sum of $500 as much as the land is worth. We do not know the cause of all this but we do know something is wrong, and every honest settler will do everything in his power to assist the Goverment in examining into the conditions on the Siletz.
