HALDKRREE'K POSITION OX LAND (iRAXT OI KSTIOX Dexter, Or., May 8, 1S0S. Ed. The Guard: I have read in the Oregonian of May 7 what pur ported to be a letter written by Attorney-General Bonaparte to Mon dell, in which he gives the lumber companies every advantage, and the actual settler no right as all. I have been interested In this matter, for more than a year. I am now an actual settler on the r. w. of Section 35, Tp. 20 S., R. 1 W., Willamette Meridian. I give the exact location as a matter of accom modation to Bonaparte, or anyone else who may come in search of tres passers. The first encouragement and ad vice I had came from United States Land Commissioner Ballinger. On receipt of his letter. I became Inter ested and have since sought all pos sible information upon the subject. I made application to the O. & U R. R. Company, a year ago, to pur chase one hundred and sixty acres of their land, agreeing to faithfully and honestly endeavor to comply with all the requirements or tne law touching the Land Grant. My appli cation being rejected, after due con sideration, fcnd advice from those whom I believe are competent to give it, I decided to settle upon the land, which I did, and am proceeding to try the matter out In the courts, according to Mr. Ballinger's advice. A short time ago Mr. Townsend and Attorney-General Bonaparte went before the House Committee and Btated that the R. R. Company could lawfully sell their land to ac tual Bettlers at any time before the forfeiture was made. Now, Mr. Bonaparte says: "Mr. Settler, you are a tresspasser; lumberman, gq ahead and saw your wood. While there seems at this time a good deal to discourage the actual settler. I myself shall not quit un til I at least locate the department of Justice. No doubt there has been some in justice done in the matter of filing applications, and I believe the man ner in which the locations and fil ings were made has had a good deal to do with Bonaparte's opinion. I believe if those who applied to pur chase the land had all gone out and settled upon It, it would no doubt Ira ve been satisfactory to the De partment of Justice. There are many who, instead of doing their plain duty, and trying to right a grent wrong, are today standing back, waiting for an opportunity to gratify their true dispositions by saying, "I told you so," and It is for the benefit of those that I quote from the Congressional Globe of Ap ril 1, 1870, a part of the discussion upon the act of May i, 1S70. "Mr. Smith of Oregon. The bill J will Btate, is one in which the In terests of the government have been carefully guarded There has ntver been a land grant in which those in terests have been fn carefully guprd ed as In this hlll,,,,Mr. Lawrence. does this bill make any provisiou iu regard to actual settlers? Mr. Smith of Oregon. It provides that the land shall be sold only to actual settlers in quantities not ex ceeding one hundred and sixty acres to eacn person and at a price not ex ceeding $2.50 per acre. It is the most carefully guarded bill ever pre sented to this House. Mr. Sargent. The gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Holman) also says that the lands along the Union Pacific now sell for ten dollars per acre. The lands that bring that price must be of very lim ited quantity, but if they are worth mat, it is the road that has elven the value, ror without it they would be worthless Under this bill the lands can never realize but $2.50 per acre to tne company, even if -the road makes them worth one hundred dol lars per acre." I gave a fow friends the numbers of their locations "free gratis," and wo did not go into the matter with any other thought than of doing our amy to our rellow men in the clean est, manner possible. We thought In the beginning that asking fees for loentlon on the R. R. lan.1 ,-js alto gether wrong, and would prove an injury to tho cause. 1 have reasons to believe fiere Is a law granting me the right to make settlement and to live upon tht land Hid I nm Here to remain until I am made to let. go.
