was thought that Miller should be turned
over to the police, which was done.

PROPER FISH LADDER NEEDED.
Grant County Needs Enforcement OF
the Law.

Frequent complaint is heard about
distractions in the North Fork that
prevent fish from getting up to the
headwaters of the stream. remarks
the Granite Gem. These complaints
have been made a number of times
direct to the fish wardens, but to the
present time they have been of no
avail, and the obstruction, which has
been the principal cause of complaint,
viz, the dam at the head of the Steu-
ben placers' ditch, continues to pre-
vent the fish ascending to the head
waters Of the North Fork and trib-
utary streams. The law of Oregon is
very plain on this point and clearly
says that where a dam is put across
a stream a fish ladder or some ade-
quate means must be provided for fish
to get over the dam. In the instance
mentioned above there is plenty Of
water going over the dam and as 1t
is not high, the expense and trouble
of providing ample means for the
passage Of fish would be very little.
SO it cannot be said that 1t would be
a hardship for the company to COM
ply with the law in this particular.

FRAUDS BY TIMBER CRUISERS.
Scoundrelish Locators Juggle With
Descriptions.

Descriptions.
A John Day correspondent of the
Baker City Democrat tells how it is
oftentimes done, as follows:
l read in your weekly of July 13,
an article on Timber Turned Down
in Eastern Oregon" most of which is
quite correct, but only those loca-
tiOns of timber lands are rejected by
the government which are in conflict
with the forest reserve.
1t is a we'll known fact hereabout
that a number of timoer locations
have been made in this county on
barren hillsides, when the lands
shown to the locators by irresponsible
and fraudulent cruisers was excellent
timber land; in fact trails are worn
around good timber tracts by cruisers
and their locators and the latter made
to believe that they were getting the
correct numbers for these tracts,
when in fact they were given num-
bers for tracts miles away from this
and for lands that have not timber
enough on them to build a respecta-
BILE log cabin.
And how will a locator feel after
paying $500 or more for a timber
claim and making affidavit that he
has been on the land and knows 1t to
be the identical tract he has made ap-
plication for finds out in the course
Of time that the tract he receives
patent for is miles away from this
and utterly worthless as timber
claim
A great many claims of this sort
are taken in the Middle Fork and
Long Creek country, and It might be
of interest to the locators, before 1t is
too late. to have their locations looked
up by some reliable surveyor and re-
ported on as to the stand of timber
before they make final proof and
pay out their money for what might
prove an utterly worthless tract of
land.
There Is also a recent ruling of the
land department, requiring that tim
Der land entrymen shall know the
condition OF land as ascertained from
personal observation and examination
near the date Of proof: and inasmuch
as there Is an uncertain rime limit. II
would be well to be prepared to pre-
sent positive evidence as to the con-
dition of the land at time not more
than two weeks prior to date of taxi
ing testimony.
