The unsold lands of the Umatilla
reservation, a bill providing for tiiu
sale of which was passed through
the last session of congress by Rep
resentative Moody, wnl soon be plac
ed upon the market and those who
have been squatting on the land for
years will have an opportunity to ac
quire the property upon which they
have settled.
Wednesday Carter & Raley, of this
city, who are representing 150 set
tlers upon these unsold lands, re
ceived private advices from Wash
ington, D. C, to the effect that the
secretary of the interior would pro
mulgate his order governing the sale
of these lands sometime during the
present week.
It is understood that according to
the order to be given by the secre
tary, 30 days' notice will be given
by public advertisement before the
acceptance of any money in payment
for tracts of the lands to be placed
on the markets.
Settlers Have Prior Right
Under the provisions of the act,
squatters on the land who have gone
on with the intention of settling and
making homes will have the first
chance to purchase the lands upon
which they are settled, at the valua
tion fixed upon them by the govern
ment appraisers, the valuations Tun
ning all the way from $1.2f) per acre
for the poorer grades, to $20 per acre
for the best, the values, of course, be
ing set on the land in its wild state
and no improvements made by set
tlers being figured in. Ninety days
are allowed squatters for election.
Many New Settlers.
Since It became known that the
bill would pass and that the prior
right of purchase would be allowed
settlers, many have rushed in to se
lect the best pieces remaining un
claimed, until at present all the best
land has been squatted upon, in nu
merous Instances by parties who are
figuring upon selling their selections
to the first comer who Is willing to
pay them a fair price therefor.
Just at this time the exact provis
ions of the bill may be of interest,
so it is herewith produced:
Copy of the Bill.
"Be it enacted by the senate and
the house of representatives of tho
United States of America in congress
assembled, that all the lands of tho
Umatilla reservation not Included
within the new boundaries of the res
ervation and not allotted or required
for allotment to the Indians, and
which were not sold at the public
sale of said land heretofore held at
the price of which they have apprais
ed, and upon the conditions provided
in an act entitled 'An act providing
for the allotment of lands in severalty
to the Indians residing upon tho
Umatilla reservation, in the state of
Oregon, and for granting patents
therefor, and for other purposes,'
shall be sold at private sale by the
register of the land office In tho dis
trict within which they are situated
at not less than the appraised value
thereof, and In conformity with tho
provlsiosn of said act."
Settlers Get First Right.
"Provided, that any bona fide set
tler upon any of said lands who Is
the owner of substantial Improve
ments thereon, and who has so settl
ed and improved any subdivision of
said lands with the intent of perma
nently residing on tho same as a
homestead, shall have a preference
right to buy the lands so settled up
on by him at any time within 90 days
after the passage of this act upon
malting satisfactory proof in the local
