The Irish standard., 1905-06-24

mutation the claimant II he happens
to be In the neighborhood, rides out
to his claim and, If the wind has nos
bowled his house away across the
plain, sits down in the shadow Of
the roof among the sage and soap
weed and smokes a contemplative
cigarette. That enables him to swear
with clear conscience, so please you,
that he has been an actual resident
upon the land. But that is absolutely
the extreme limit of conformity, and
none but extreme conditions justify it.
Perjury and fraud, pure and simple
Find milder, truer name for 1t if
you can. And, mind you, these sacred
homestead filings are not here and
there or now and then, but every
where throughout the length and
breadth of the cattle country, hundreds
and thousands of them every year.
And the officers of the land depart
ment, high and low, know 1t.
Sometimes these hiring squatters
are picked up In the towns Of the
Observation-Disclosures who chance to be
idle for a day and not averse to a
tribe Of easy money; but for the most
part they are imported In job lots by
the big ranchmen-found sometimes
by special agents, and at other times
by the regular employment bureaus
The only care to be exercised is to see
that hands can be laid upon the claim
ant when the time comes for fnal
proof. Even this. is not in all cases
essential.
