CONTEST NOTICE.
Department of the Interior,

February 6th. 1904.
A sufficient contest affidavit having been
filed in this office by CHARLEY A. MORRIS,
contestant, against homestead entry No. 13371,
made February 13, 1901. for Se % Ne %, Ne% Sw
% and lots 2 and 3, section 7, tp. 5 south, range
9 west, by AI.VI R. DANIELS, contestée, in
which it is alleged that contestant is well
acquainted wit said tract of land and kn>>ws
the present condition of the same; also that
said ALVI R. DANIELS has wholly abandoned
said claim : that he never established residence,
as required by law or at all, and that he has
never made any improvements as I believe, nor
has he been on the claim for more than one
year last past, nor lias he done any work or
had any one to do so for him, for more than
one year last past or at all. to the best of my
belief and knowledge, and that said alleged
absence frofn the said land was not due to nis
employment in the Army, Navy, or Marine
Corps ot the United States as a private
soldier, officer, seaman or marine, during the
war with Spain, or during any other war
in which the United States may be engaged,
said parties are hereby notified to appear,
respond and offer evidence touching said
allegation at 10 o'clock a.m,. 011 March 19th,
1904, before the Register and Receiver at the
United States Land Office in Oregon City,
Oregon.
The said contestant having, in a proper affi­
davit, filed March i9, 1904, set forth facts which
show that after due diligence personal service
of this notice cannot be made, it is here «y
ordered and directed that such notice be given
by due and proper publication.
