Locator Oraft Xa Worklnr
It -la known that unscrupulous locn-l
tors and speculators are inducing; par
tlaa to apply for theaa lands, in the full'
knowledce that DrtorraDDlicatton hava
- bean placed on the landa aought to ba
purchased. Although tha excitement
waa mora pronounced some weeka ago,
locators from Portland. Oregon City and
'.' other cities ara bringing in tha unsus
pecting and through miarepreaantatlona
.: causing them to apply for landa that
hava been covered long ago, possibly
'. flva or aix tames. The fee rangaa from
It to $60 and In aoma insjtancea It la
said reea as nign aa tzoo nave been
' paid; A great many lnnooent persons
, ara certainly being buncoed. The coun
ty officials- shave branded thla aa a
specie of robbery and believe tha pub
lic ahould be warned. For tha cruiser
and locator no other consideration en
ters into tha deal, and after receiving
tha fea for location thevlesva tha party
io iua ne ft as neen goiaoricaea.
But TfOOO Aore Xft,
Forty-five additional applications
' hava been received in tha past few days.
' Tha total number of aerea applied for
1 almost 46,000.
In tha beginning of the excitement
tbera remained oongresaionai land ua
' sold aggregating about : 70.000 . acres.
. Only av email proportion waa valuable
timber land, -the rem slader being up-
desirable on account of mountainous or
. barren character. The railroad, having
recently aeeaea js.ovu acres to tne cur
tlaa and Hammond lumber companies,
haa only about T.OOO acre unsold. It
: can readily be aeen that thara ia not a
quarter section unappnea ror ana eacn
' applicant of recent data and In tha fu
ture can rest assured inat prior applica
tion hava been made for tba same
. land, . . v .-. .v , -. ,. ,
