Recently the Oregon Dally Journal
printed photographs of several cab-
Ins which are alleged to have been
used as homestead cabins by the en
trymen ln the Umatilla land frauds
cases and designated them "the Ra-ley-Crow
cabins."
Col. J. H. Raley of this city, has
answered the Journal's descriptive ar
ticle accompanying the' cabins, and
the East Oregonlan reprints his ex
planation in Justice to himself and
others Interested. His letter to the
Journal is as follows:
It had been my settled Intention
and policy to make no reply to any
thing that might appear either ln
the Journal or any other paper, In re
gard to the recent Umatilla Indict
ments until the trial of the case, but
since in your issue of June 28 you
publish a photograph of the so-called
Raley-Crow cabins, and your caption
thereunder Is manifestly unjust and
untrue and was apparently made for
the express purpose of creating a pre
judice ln .the minds of the public
against the persons Indicted, that I
trust you will have the fairness to
say for me and over my signature,
that neither of these cabins referred
to was built or constructed until about
a year or more after each and every
one of the alleged Illegal filings were
made: and about a year after the
only affidavit required by law had
been filed In the land, office at La
Grande, and were not built for any
purpose or use In connection with the
entry of said lands, or any of them
And I desire to say further that
not a single one of the applicants, ln
their applications to purchase or
their affidavits to purchase, claimed
to have any cabins or other Improve
meats upon their lands.
These cabins are not situated- or lo
cated upon any of the lands In con
troversy and no one connected with
these alleged land frauds has ever re
sided, or claimed toreslde, ln either
of them to by knowledge. The cabins
are not located on McKay creek, but
are located at a large spring on the
top of the mountain and at a general
camping place for all persons who go
that way, no matter what the charac
ter of their business.
How many of the alleged cntrymen
may at some time hava camped at
this spring I have no knowledge or
Information, but none of the entry
men ever camped ln or used or claim
ed to use either of these cabins prior
to making their filings and affidavits
for the simple reason that the cabins
were never built urtll a year after
all such filings .ml affidavits were
made.
This fact Is well known to the spe
cial agent 'rom whom you received
this Information and from whom you
received this photograph, and the
publication of this photograph end
the comments ln connection can be
made for no purpose other than In
an attempt to prehidlce the minds of
the public and by this means prevent
fair and Impartial trial. Respect
fully, J. II. RALEY
