Homesteaders and Others Stand in Line all Night to File. A new lot of Monarch and Cluett Shirts of One hundred and four appli cants, by actual count, were lined up at the entrance to the Port land land office yesterday morn ing to file on desirable tracts in cluded in township 7 south, range 9 west, Siletz Indian reservation, which was open to entry and set tlement at 9 a. m. yesterday. Before the office had closed at 4 o’ clock yesterday afternoon, the applications o f approximate ly 100 of these anxious home- seekers had been received and filed. There are included in the township 144 quarter sections of land but some o f the applicants are applying for only 80 acres each so that more than 144_ ap plicants can be served. Register A. S. Dresser and Receiver G. W. Bibee, who have charge o f the local office, expect to conclude the settlement of these lands, so far as the applications are con cerned, some time today. Fred E. Naylor, a civil engineer of this city, and Charles A. Hughes, a timber cruiser, of Bemidge, Minn., were the first to file. They took their place in the line o f ap plicants that was formed in the Worcester building, in which the land office is located, at 9 o ’ clock Monday morning and, with the other 100 homeseekers stood in line all day Monday and through out the night until the office opened at 9 o’ clock yesterday morning when they were enab led to file on their coveted 160 acres o f choice timberland. The land included in this town ship embraces some o f the most valuable timberland in the state. Some o f the quarter sections will cruise 15,000,000 feet to the acre and it is this fact that accounts for the scramble for the land. Many of the applicants are ac tual settlers on the land, which has been held up for entry and settlement for about 8 years, pending an approval o f the sur vey following the disclosure of alleged land frauds in this state early in the ’ 90s. A number o f conflicting entries came to light yesterday, several applicants fil ing on the same tract. Officials o f the land office, however, did not undertake to determine the respective rights o f the different applicants but accepted the fee of $16 from each o f the applicants. Where more than one applicant has filed on the same tract, the officials o f the land office in due time will conduct an inquiry and ascertain which o f the various applicants is best entitled to the land-filed on and it will be in that way the man entitled to the par ticular tract will be determined. Applicants for the settlement of these lands have six months in the latest patterns.
