J. gtM COMPANY j IMPORTANT RULING BY LAND OFFICE .CONTESTANTS CANNOT IGNORE FIRST HEARING AND START NEW SUIT. The La Grande land office has re cently dismissed a number of contests by squatters against those who nlea timber claims in township 4 north 41 the township in this county that was thrown open on September la last. The Star says the ruling while it af fects in the present Instance a com paratively small number, outlines the procedure that will be required by Register Bramwe'.l and Receiver Eber hard ia all contest cases by private par lie i. In these particular cases, contests were filed, dates for hearing set, and upon the day set the contestant in a number of cases failed to show up, though the contestees . did, often at great expense and inconvenience. The land office would then dismiss that contest and give the contestant a cer tain time to move to reinstate his case. Instead of doing this, a large number of them dropped the first case and started new contests on ex actly the same ground. The local office allowed such contests for some time, but their frequency and man ifest Inconvenience, and In some case3, injustice, led to a full examin ation of the matter on the part of the off'cers, and last week in an opinion written by Receiver Eberhard, con curred in by Reglrter Bramwell, the land laws were exhaustively discuss ed, and the conclusion reached that such contests were not legal. Ac cordingly they were dismissed. The opinion of Receiver Eberhard, If sustained on appeal, will hereafter require all persons to stay with their fim contest and fight it out in that case. ' , ..The current wori: in the land office at present it heavy, and besides tak ing care of that wl.h the office force. Register Bramwe'.l and Receiver Eberhard are working early and on contest case3, proofs, etc., which are on file.
