The Lot of the Homesteader
ByT. O. Erickson in the Rosue Magazine
(Rogue Magazine.)
It is popularly supposed that pio
neering is a lost art that no longer
do men mid women go far into thu
wilds mid hu'w a homu out of the
wilderness and live isolated lives.
That, howovor, ami bo refuted by
anyone who euros to take a trip into
the mountains by some of the iiiojo
iinfieipiciited roads and trails. Thero
they will find cabins iu the clear
iugs where all the conditions that

It is true that thu pioneer of to-
day may not bo as far from civiliza
tion as his predecessors, but it makes
littlo difforenco whether your nra
7fi miles or 100 miles from a railroad
or a doctor or a public library. You
will get thorn just about as often iu
either caso.
The homo building instinct is tho
motive that drives tho homesteader
into tho wilds. No one has been able
to sit down and figure out wherein
thero wiir any profit to tho who goes
into thu hills, far from all thu com
forts and oven human companship,
and files on a niece of land.
I Mo must live on tho land five years
I and it costs iu labor nnd expenditure
from .f.')0 to $100 per acre to clean
( the land. In very few instances does
the laud reach that value iu thu life
.of the original locator. This applies
more particularly to the present day
boniest eadur.
j In tho past, where a man could
take up u piece of valley land, ho did
so with a reasonable certainty that
before long a railroad company
would build a road through tho coun
try and thus his laud would cnlianco
in value. But that is not true of the'
present time as the only unoccupied
public laud lies far back iu tho hills
where it will be a long time before
a railroad builds if ever.
There aro two kinds of, homestead
ers, the kind of men thatgo afar and
select a claim because they wish a
home or love thu woodland are the
real homesteaders. It wns for these
that thu homestead act was passed.
The other kind aru those that file
on lads as dummies, for some corno.'-
ation which wants tho land, or who
files on it for speculative purposes.
Sad to say, thero are nnd have been
many in this class.
Some years ago the world was
shocked by tho revelations as to tho
methods of big corporations in their
efforts to secure tho public domain.
Francis J. Money won his spurs as a
great prosecutor in thu Oregon land
fraud cases.
These prosecutions revealed tho
fact that literally thousands of clerks
and others had been shipped to Ore

mainly of going to it and spending a

However it was not only those who
were sent from tho east that did
this. Tho Oregonians soon learned
tho gamu and played it with vim
Within thu last year a loading busi
