As there is some controversy in this section, upon the length of time certain acts of congress have been in force, it would be an item cf useful information if you can hunt up and print the following: The date of the pre-emption act. The date of the homestead act. The date of the donatiou act, with strict reference to Oregon. At the same time be kind euough to fur nish your readers with the date of the granting the swamp land to the state of Oregon. As I expect to make, or, which would be more appropriate, to express an opinion on the swamp land act, and the loose manner in which the framers of the bill guarded or did not guard at all against fraud from w hatever source, I would prefer to approach the subject carefully; but I have no data at hand ot guide me through the labyrinth of complex details. It does appear to me to have been tho correct thing for the receivers and registers at land offi ces to have questioned an appli cant for pre-emption as to the quality of the land, after the pas sage of the swamp land act. Hav ing, with five others, filed on pre emption claims in 1872, I can assert, with truth, that no such questions were put. Why not? Would such ruling not have acted as a preventive against both ignorance and fraud. Ignorance of an act of congress will not pre vent the punishment of those who treat that act with contempt; yet, it stems to lie a weak point in a governing body to throw no safe guards around that portion of its citizens and they are a multitude— who know not anything about, acts of congress. It will not suffice, in answer, to say that many persons filed on those lands knowing their character, and who made final proof, with abundant witnesses to swear to anything. The damaging point still remains, that, the government made no effort to prevent this, and left itself open to the accusation that, it donated land to one party uud then sold and re ceived the price for it from anoth er. It will work great hardship on some of the settlers w ho have taken up and improved swampland in this county, if they are ejected.
