THE TIMBER CONDITIONS
Choicest OF Timber CAN Yet Be
Secured From the Government

Among the hundreds Of homestead
entries that lave been made in this
locality in the last one to three years,
it is reasonable to expect that a num-
Der Of changes would necessarily have
to take place due to peculiar and un-
avoidable circumstances. Owing to
some such changes, there can be had
relinquishments for the homesteads
named below. The parties possessing
these homesteads find themselves COM
PEELED by unforeseen and unavoidable
circumstances to sell and relinquish
their Improvements and rights to the
same.
When REIMBURSEMENT is received
at the land Office, tie land reyerts
back to the government and becomes
government land so that if your ap-
plication for a timber and stone claim
or homestead on a quarter section
goes in with the REIMBURSEMENT
ON that quarter section, your applica-
tion is accepted by the government
and thu land becomes yours upon full
fllment Of the usual conditions re-.
specting government lands.
Here is partial list Of what we
offer:
Two homesteads in one section car.
rying 1000, 900 feet each, close to a
logging stream in belts of timber
Price, 1926 each for improvements and
relinquishments.

the lay of the land, quality of timber,
the heavy belt of timber in which il

bargains in Southern Oregon.
We have rellnquishmert on a quar-
ter section which has the natural mill.

OF timber nearly as heavy. This
quarter section carries from 3 to 80
million feet of timber. Price 800.
We also have seven other relin.
quishments which will garry from 2
to million feet and located from s
to 10 miles from market Prices range
from sl25 to $500. Now. attention |
The point we want to make is that
these lands were the choice lands of
Southern Oregon from one to three
years ago. When you will have full.
filled the requirements of the Land
Office each Of these quarter sections
will be worth from $1,000 to $40, 900.
To save you time, we would say
that as rule the improvements
amount to no more than small cabin
and clearing from one 10 five acres.
The value that we claim for these
quarter sections is in the timber.
