J. 1 Morrow et aL
v.
The State of Oregon
and
The Warner Valley Stwk Company
The Commissioner of the
tieneral Land Office
Sir:
J. L. Morrow aud others, the set
tier claimants, filed a motion for re
view of departmental decision of
March 16, 1903, In" the case of J. L.
Morrow and others v. The State of
Oregon et al. (32 I D., 54).
The motion does not question but
that the tlndiugof fact that the lands
In question were not, March 12, IsCO,
the lied of a lake or perinnnentjbody
of water, but were swamp and over
flowed lands thereby rendered unfit
for cultivation and ot the character
flescrlls'd by, and that passed by,
the grant of that date to the State
of Oregon (12 Stat., 3).
The motion asks:
1. That the decision be modified
by dlrectlngthat It be not carried In
to effect until the Department Is fully
advised as to each pre-emption claim
made prior to March 16, 1903.
2. That the decision be modified
by directing, for abundant caution,
that the new swamp land lists do
not Include any lands claimed prior
to March 10, 1903, under the pre-emp
tion acts, whether such claims, fil
ings, or entries are now existing or
have Ihh-ii cancelled.
3. That as to such lands the de
cision be not carried Into effect be
suspended for twelve months.
No error In the decision upon the
material and controlling facts ls-ing
alleged, no good reasou Is, 'or, in
view of the Department can be as
signed to suspend Its enforcement,
tir to harass the parties by a pro
longation of a controverny that has
been too long pending. 1 1 Is due all
the parties that the controversy be
ended without further delay, futile
hope, anxiety, or useless expense and
waste of resources to either party.
No sufficient reasou la-lug shown
by the motion to vacate, recall, or
modify said decision, and none ap
pearing otherwise, the motion Is de
nied and the decision adhered to.
The pajH-rs are herewith returned.
Very respectfully,
Taos. Hyan, Acting Secretary.
As will Is? seen by the dispatch be
low, to the Iteglster and Receiver of
the Lakevlew land office, all of the
available timber In Lake county
south of Paisley has lieen withdrawn
from settlement, tiy order of the
Commissioner. Over SG7.000 acres of
tlrnls-r land Is thus reserved. For
what piirprsfe It has not yet been
learned. Just as is?ople had Is-gun
to arrive In numbers to file on this
land. It Is taken away from them.
The set back It will give to Lake
county is hard to anticipate, but it
means that w ood for home consump
tion will soon Is? impossible to get
at any price; Lumls?r mills will
soon have to shut down, and the
js-ople will have to suffer according
ly. Not even a farmer or rancher
will Im? able to take up timber land
for his own use. Not one man In
Lake county Is in favor of this re-n-serve,
as they feel that it is not on
ly a detriment to the stockman, but
to every Interest of Lake County. If
this land was taken up It would
mean thousands of dollars in taxes
to the county every year.
As no warning or reason was giv
en for this wholesale grab, the letter
following the dispatch will be await
ed with much Interest. Many cltl
zens In denouncing this action of the
Commissioner, claim that some big
syndicates are at the bottom of it.
The land is being withdrawn so they
can pick out the best timber when
it will Is? thrown opeu to the public
again, but they will Is? on hand
with scrip to take It all, thus put
ting It In the hands of capitalists,
and depriving individuals from tak
ing It. The dispatch follows:
