Albany, Or., May 7 Reports from
the department of justice and Interior
to the effect that applicants for the
unsold grant lands of the Oregon &
California railroad will have no prior
ity of right over other applicants has
brought consternation Into the hearts
of a host of claimants who rushed on
to these lands and paid high sums to
unscrupulous locators.
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
