VEYJNG OREGON PUBLIC
LANDS.

Our dispatches yesterday morn
ing contained an item saying that
an appropriation had been made
for the purpose of surveying pub
lie lands. In the appropriation
was twenty thousand dollars for
Oregon. This will be most well
come news to many industrious
hard working squatters upon the
unsurveyed land anxiously wait
ing for the surveys to be made SO
that they could make the proper
filings and settlement to acquire
title to their homesteads and pre-
emptions. Especially is this the
case in the newly opened up coun-
try on the Santiam, which the Ore
gon Pacific, in its eastern extern
sion, has brought into prominence
and great demand. There is a
large quantity of excellent land
that the survey will soon trans
form into productive farms and
happy homes, and there are thous-
ands of acres of magnificent
mountain timber land that the sur
vey would make available for pur-
chase under the timber land act.
This land should be placed in the
market as soon as possible for it is
valuable only for its timber, and
year by year the fires, accidentally
or carelessly started, eat into and
destroy this timber, which if con-
veyed into private possession
would be almost Immediately
utilized. The lands within the
surveyed limits have been and are
being rapidly utilized, and build
ing up large industries that are o1
great benefit to the country. This
is the case at Mill City, whose
fine mountain lumber this season
is building up a widespread repu
tation. Farther up, opposite Gates
Vile is Leedy & Santmor's mil
and others, and still farther up il
Browns Mill, now called Niagara
which has built up quite a settle
ment and will develop large bus
mess. Two miles farther up th'
Green Basin numbering compan.
are preparing for a large busines
with the best kind of facilities.
These enterprises are already il
operation on the surveyed lands
where titles can now be acquired
and just as soon as the survey i
made so that title can be acquire'
to the land, very many NOR
enterprises OF a like nature viii
spring up all along the line in tn
timber regions.
The land and localities unde
consideration are also fitted i
many instances for agriculture
and horticultural occupation, an
if improved would add greatly
the resources of the state. Th
surveys should be made at once
