THE RIGHTS OF GENUINE SETTLERS.

Some twenty-five settlers have taken up
claims upon the abandoned military re-
serve on Point Roberts, near Blaine, beliey.
ing that the land would be thrown open to
public settlement. 1t seems that a syndi.
cate Is now endeavoring TO purchase the
land. probably for speculative purposes. as
it does not bear timber but is fine apri-
cultural land. These people, souatters
they would probably be called, have settled
on the land in good faith. They have
built homes. cultivated the land, and added
SO much by their enterprise and industry
to the States wealth. 1t would be an out
rage to dispossess them. 1t was for such
people. for men who would develop the
country's resources AMI build up thriving
communities that the beneficent land laws
we're enacted; and 1t would be a gross viola
ton OF their spirit to permit combination
OF capitalists to Dust them from their
homesteads. They should receive the
moral and effectual support OF the state in
procuring the opening mp o, the reserve to
actual settlement, with liberal preference
for those who have by their toll established
. vested right.
