In Linn county alone doskIIjIv 50, 000 acres of these lands have been filed upon and applied for, and the tender made to the ralroad company offices at San Francisco. Fees rang ing from $15 to ?"0 have been paid for this privilege, and the parties lo cating Uie seekers after timber lands assured them that they would have a priority of rlgnt and have the first undisputed claim to the land In ques tion should the government succeed in its efforts to declare the lands for feited. Fakers nt Work When the matter was first made public the rush for these lands was akin to madness, and parties well versed In the subject declared that not one of them could possibly ac quire any prior right to the lands in question. The madness for timber lands reached such a height that hun dreds of local parties and from else where were Induced to pay large sums Into the hands of locators, whose only motive was gain, with no thought that the parties so located would ever be able to realize on the lands In question. A most elaborate program was fol lowed, and If complying with all the possible lc'Kul requirements amounts to anything the claimants for these lands should receive compensation. Iho plan was as follows: First the persons desiring to be lo cated accepted the cruise of some lo cator,, and being acquainted with the description of the lands made an affi davit to the effect that they had set tled on these lands ,und were actual residents and home-seekers. Not Worth the Fee This application was filed with the county recorder and placed on record, together with a statement that the tender had been made the railroad company, and that their application for purchase had been rejected by the railroad company. Over 300 of these papers have been recorded In the office of the county clerk, and accord ing to tho decision they are not worth the fee of recording. In addition to the above many of the claims have been duplicated, and even If the applicants should have an opportunity to purchase endless liti gation would ensue. Many, of the parties In applying for these lands w ro Induced to apply for lands In ot'ior counties without and idea of settlement or sincerity on tho part of the would-be possessor of these rail road lands. In fact, In many Instances the affidavit reads they were actual residents on tho lands applied for when tho citizens of this section and In other portions of tho state know that they are engaged In business and have innde no attempt to comply with the laws relating to residence and set tlement. The whole matter Is decidedly com. plicated, and the ruling of the depart ment that these are of no conse quence nnd worthless will tiring some order out of the chaos and save u.lless 111 lt::ii ion an I possible prm- eeutl.m for false affidavits made by the seeking purchaser. j ;oit,i nvF.itv, fi:k!
