CRANT LANDS TO BEGIN Opening of Agricultural Part of Torritory Is Expected This Summer. i SOUTHERN PORTION DONE Some Farm Land in Claekamac Had Been Classified and May Be Opened tor Entry. i , Louis L. Sharp, chief of the field division of tho United States land office, returned from Washington, D. C, Monday, bringing good hews for would-be settlers of the mlllons of acres of land in the forfeited grant of the Oregon and California railway. According to Mr. Sharp, reclassifi cation of these lands is to be started Immediately, preparing: for the open ing of the agricultural sections some-' time this summer. The southern portion of the grant lands lying in Curry, Josephine, Jack son, Klamath, Douglas and Coos coun ties, constituting almost half of the entire area, was classified last sum mer and fall, and almost any time now. Clay Tallman, commissioner oC the general land office, Is expected io announce dates for the opening of tha i agricultural sections. Clackamas Land Classified In addition 30,000 acres of the granr. in Clackamas county were classlfle-l last summer, and it is possible that may be permitted to taka up homesteads in that section before many weeks. Mr. Sharp said that SOcruIscrs .and 50 compas3mbn, the same sized j crew that worked last year, will b3 in the field in a few days. All tho grant lands north from the California line practically to tho southern edgj ot Lane county have been cruIseJ, and the land office field agents will ' start north through the central por tion of the grant. Work this summer will progress I more slowly, it is believed. In south ern Oregon the cruisers worked la I the sparse, yellow pine, over Com- tying finished before the season clos es. The cruisers examine the lands to see whether they are agricultural or timbered. An arbitrary distinction Is made. IZ the land cruises out more than 300.- 000 lumber feet to 40 acres, It Is re- garded as timber land, and will not I lower than 300,000 feet It 13 considered agricultural. j Some of the yellow pine country , raai win ne ciassea as nomesieaas will really be fair timber lands. Ya' low pine logging values are much higher than Douglas fir operations, and a quarter .section .cruising oven as low as 280,000 per "forty" would make logging operations worth while. Entry Dates to Be Public The Douglas fir lands will run more true to classification as the tim ber is so cheap that, a section cruis ing around 300,000 per "forty" hardly would be worth while for the lumber man. Tho agricultural lands, according to Mr. Sharp, probably will go through the usual homestead settlement pro cedure. The land office will an nouco entry dates and furnish, do. scriptions to prospective applicants. Entrymen will be expected to 'provo up their claims by the usual seven months' residence annually for three years and the payment of $2.50 per acre to secure final title. The usual exemption for soldiers and otherB en titled to special brlviledgo will hold, good. TTlm,ber Lands to be .Sold The timber land will be held for in tho uknal 'manner.
