East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-09-27

Because of the excellent attendance
now enjoyed by the Lewis and Clark
fair. the managemen has practically
decided to extend the limit of the fair
to October 81, instead of October Is,
as originally intended.
While the rainy season is due in
Portland, yet the weather has been
pleasant and the attendance at the
fair has been extraordinary during
the past two weeks. This has induced
the management to risk open gates
until the last of October.
The tourist rush to the coast will
continue until some time in November
and IT is thought that the fair attend
ance will keep up for at least two or
three weeks after October l5. no mat
ter what the weather condition, as the
strangers will be in Portland anyway,
and most of them will be glad to at
tend the exposition. The exposition
management is now seriously cdnsid-
ering the matter of announcing the
extension of the limit and 1t may be
expected at any time.

BOTH CANNOT
FILE ON LAND
DECISION REACHED AS
TO RESERVATION LAND.
A Wifc's Residence Being Construct
lively With Her Husband, She Will
the Same Time That Her Husband
is an EntIyman on Other Land
Other Cases Similar Exist, and Other
Suits Are Probable-Successfu
Plaintiff Has Preference Right.

Both man and wife cannot file upon
land such as was included in the res
ervation sale of 1902. according to
decision that has just been received
from the commissioner of the general
land office.
The decision was given i'm the case
of Ben 5. Burroughs VS.. Rose Carroll,
who purchased 100 acres at the time
of the last sale of reservation land.
while her husband. William Carroll,
likewise did the same i'm another quar-
ter section. The contest was brought
on the grounds that both man and
wife could not file on claims, and this
contention has been upheld by the
commissioner of the land office. I'm
der the conditions of the sale those
filing on the land are required to
make their residence thereon for a
certain period of time. Consequently,
il was held that since a wife's home is
constructively with her husband, she
could not hold "A claim while at the
same time her husband was the entry
man on another.
The contest being decided in favor
of the plaintiff. the latter will have
preference right i'm filing on the con-
tested claim, and will presumably do
so.
The above decision sets at rest a
matter that has been more or less in
doubt ever since the recent sale of res
ervation land. There are several other
cases aside from the CAROLS in which
both husband and wife have filed on
claims and II is presumed that other
contests will now be brought.
In the above case the firm of Car
ter. Raley 4 Raley appeared for Mrs,
Carroll. while Winter Il Collier repre-
scnted the contestant.

SELLING TEXAS LAND.
Six Million Acres Under Lease Now
Omen for Settlement.

About 6,O0O,0 900 acres of state lands,
situated In various parts of Texas. and
heretofore mostly under lease for cat
tie grazing purposes, have been placed
on the market for actual settlers un-
der n late law passed by the legisla-
ture. The cattlemen have been
strongly opposed to the sale of these
lands, and predict that the withdrawal
of them from pasture purposes will
work great injury to the cattle indus
try of that state.
The lands are to be sold to actual
settlers in tracts of from one to eight
sections. The price Is 81 an acre,
payable in 40 annual installments
with per cent interest. Each pur-
chaser must live upon the land for
three years to acquire title. After the
sale of these lands the state will own
about $4,000. 900 acres which are un-
der lease to cattlemen.
