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.
