Slletz Contest Held Up Pending Inves titration by Congress. The first ray of cheer and comfort received by the Slletz homesteaders from Washington In many a day came in a' dispatch printed in yesterday Oregonlan. It is to the effect that Secretary Balllnger has at last yield ed to the urgent plea of the original settlers for a suspension of further contests until Congress shall be able to make a full Investigation of the merits of their claims. The Oregonian says: "At the conclusion of the hearing today with the Oregon Congressional delegation and Oswald West, Secre tary Balllnger directed that no fur. ther action be taken by the Interior Department or the General Land Of fice, on any pending Siletz entries or contests until Congress had been given full opportunity to consider legisla tion which the delegation will pro pose for the relief of those settlers who made entries in good faith, but who thus far have failed to obtain patent. Every member of the delega- tlon presented a trumpet on behalf of the entrymen, and Commissioner West recited incidents that took place at a meeting of the Siletz entrymen at Dal las, December 29. "Secretary Balllnger seemed im pressed with the contention that some leniency might properly be shown the entrymen who had attempted honest ly to acquire title, though their meth ods or their proof might not strictly meet the requirements of law and the department. He was perfectly willing Congress should determine how far this leniency should go. 'It was thereupon decided that a relief measure should be prepared and Introduced simultaneously by Senator Chamberlain and Representative Hawley. This bill probably will follow the general lines of the Hawley bill Introduced at the special session. The department was non-commltal as to whether or not it would recom mend passage of this bill when It is introduced, but promised to submit to Congress a full statement of the cases, so Congress can determine for itself whether or not such relief is Justifi able. This legislation cannot be retro active, and therefore cannot afford relief to settlers whose lands have re cently been acquired by successful contestants. It will affect all other or iginal entrymen who can establish their good faith, and in such cases will operate, if enacted, to oust all professional contestants." Cass and Seth Riggs and their sis ter, Miss Emma, write from Illinois that they will arrive home in about ten days. At the recent wedding anni versary of their uncle and aunt, held at the family home in Illinois, Cass Riggs was the only guest in attend ance that was present at the wedding sixty years ago and he was only a year old at that time.
