Tie of the land in controversy, and par
ties are not unfrequently compelled to
abandon valuable improvements because
they are pecuniarly unable to bear the
expense of taking their witnesses so far,
even when they have legal right to
perfect their titles. 1t is often the case
chat settlers, when first coming to this
part of the Territory, go to the U. S.
Land Office at Olympia to obtain inform
alton in regard to vacant lands, &C.. very
many are thus indirectly compelled to
settle upon lands of poorer quality and
harder to clear up, rather than incur the
expense of coming so far from the Land
Office. If we had U. S. District Land
Office establised at this city, with Snoho-
mish, Whatcom, Island and San Juan
counties embraced in the District, it
would not only tend to bring US settlers
but greatly tend to decrease the expense
OF pefec,ing title to the lands; and we
bring this matter before our readers now
because we intend at an early day to call
upon them with petition addressed to
the proper authorities, praying for the
division Of this Land District, and the
establishing OF a new Land Office at this
city.
