FINAL PROOF REFUSED
j. c. Fletcher Homestead Appraised
as Having No Value TO the
Estate.

After living with his family on a
homestead on part Of what was the
Siletz Indian reservation for the five
years prescribed by law, the proofs Of
ownership offered by John @. Fletcher
were refused by the general land office,
because the survey of 100 acres Of it
had not been approved, and the land
was declared not subject to entry. The
remaining 40 acres had been surveyed
regularly and the survey accepted,
but Fletcher was not allowed to prove
his title to them because he had built
his house on the ground included in
the 100 acres not subject to entry.
Because of this the homestead is OF
no value to the estate Of Fletcher, who
bas since died. The appraisers Of the
estate H. @. Starr, Jasper Agee and
John Deakins-filed report in the
county court this morning showing
that the property Of the estate Is worth
81 ,229. The homestead is mentioned
in the report, but is appraised as hav-
ing no value to the estate. Attorneys
for the estate declare that Fletcher's
family will be able to prove up on the
homestead il they continue to live or
it until the survey is approved by the
general land office. Portland Journal
