tho United State land omce, A. W.
Orton, who ha given much study to
land matter along with the personal
observations that he has been enabled
to make by attending to Iho business
of this rapidly growing branch ot the
Interior department.
"The residence qualifications now
Imposed are wrong, and do not tend
to settle tho land with actual home-
seekers In tho majority of cases. Tho
commutation feature ot the 160 acre
homestead la wj acts more In the way
of making the taking of a quaTter
section of laud' as a speculation, and
generally doe not tend to Improve
It or mako lt inoro valuable than
though It were left In the possession
ol the government, which means the
people.
"Many men take a 160 acre piece
ot land, erect a cabin on It, and then
sit down to wait until fourteen
months roll around, when they com
mute by paying the government the
gum ot 11,25 per acre, and then leave
the land and go their way, perhaps to
nevereesxjt again. The law requires
residence and. mentions nothing that
can he Interpreted to mean cultiva
tion. V
On the other hand'aVan nay lire

secure, enltlrate it and ssjupe It far

simply lived on, but If, no Is off the
land n slnglo day more than the six
months nltowed each' year, ho Is
likely to .lie contested; regardless of
how ho has Improvod'tho place.
The residence asd commutation
features should ho eliminated alto
gether, according ta) Mr. Orton, and
cultivation mado an essential to the
patenting of land. For instance, a
man, if allowed 321) acres as a home
stead undor tho enlarged homestead
law, should, ho says, be mode to do
n certain amount "of work or Improv
ing of tho same each jesr, and In
five years It would be much better to
place a value of say $1,500 In tho
crop he has produced before he
should secure patent to tha land.
This would mean an average of only
IH00 per year, and I easily effected
If the man It allowed to follow the
line of least rcskUanco In securing the
money to make tho improvement and
develop his property.
It I claimed-It would also assist
materially In the amount of wealth

would be lost tei, tho section of tho

MAN, DENIM orVBNSK, AM
WELL AS OOVRRlHannR TTTIJI
Ranchmen In the neighborhood
two miles this side of Merrill are
much Interested In the esse ot the
United States against C. A. Bunting,
for alleged trespass on the Irrigation
system owned by the government In
the government action, which U
brought to enjoin Bunting from con
tinuing tho alleged offense. It sets
forth that It became owner ot a mala
canal (known as the J. Frank Adnata
canal) and certain laterals by pnr
chnso from the Llttlo Klamath Water
Ditch company. .
Tho contention ot the government
Is that the laterals known, as the
Stukcl and Parish lateral have been
cut and the water used through the
cuts. Bunting denies committing any
such trespass, as woll as asserting
that tho government does not own
the lateral. He admlta using water
from the canal, and saya that what
water he used was taken In a perfect -ly
legitimate manner, nnd that he
paid the government for all that he
used.
Mr. Bunting, who Is a director of
tho Water Users' Association, has
about 160 acres, and his wife about
the government Irrigating anpnty;
and two or three other ranches la the
same region get their supply frees
the same laterals.
The government claims to awn the
laterals under a deed from the Little
Klamath Water Ditch company, dated
October IS, 1906, the price being
$100,000. It la asserted that of this
price $95,000 was paid, and the oth
er $5,000 is being held back until
clear title to certain rights Involved
may bo obtained. The visit of O." P.
Morton, legal adviser for the Pnettc
district of the reclamation service.
here from Portland, Is said to have
to do with getting data In connection
with the case.'
The Injunction suit brought by the
government is said to be brought Jn
an amicable spirit, nnd ns much to
clear up the title as anything etae.
