UNIQUE LAND CONTEST.
When James Dehayen nled the final
PROOF papers, last MONDAY, as aaInin-
istr,ltOr vi the estate OF Thomas Fol-
lock, deceased, ne praetIcdny closed
one % the most interesting cases ever
before the BOISE lana once. Thomas
Pollock, at one time Il partner OF joan
&. Heenan, the California pusiiist, came
TO Idaho Ia 1872 ana settied on a tract
OF land IN Idaho county, on the httie
salmon river, at which time the land
was unsurveyed.
He lived there until the time OF his
DEATH in September 1902. During all
title TO his land on account Of Its not
being surveyed.
Immediately after the death OF Mr..
Pollock. John Bridge and NJ. +. Per-
kins came forward and claimed the
land, on the ground that, II being UNI
surveyed land, II reverted back TO the
government after the death OF Pol
lock, claiming that his squatters right
came thus 10 an end. Bridge fenced
about 80 acres Of the land and Perkins
built his fence around the same piece
about two feet outside OF Bridges
fence,
Several suits and prosecution fol-
lowed over the land, and when the
plats were fled in 1904, after It had
been surveyed, Bridge immediately
flied a homestead entry upon the land.
Perkins filed contest claim on the
grounds OF priority OF settlement.
James DeHaven, as the administra-
tor of the estate Of Thomas Pollock,
aled a petition of intervention and con-
tended that although the pre-emption
law had been repealed, the heirs OF
Thomas Pollock were entitled to COM
plete their tide to this land under the
presumption laws, because Pollock had
settled upon the land and lived upon
it for 30 years prior to his death, and
that durinug his life he was prevented
from completing title to 1t under the
pre- emptlon law because of its being
unsuryeyod land.
The case has been carried through
the Boise land office, appealed TO the
commissioner OF the general land Office
and also appealed to the secretary of
the Interior each OF whom confirmed
the right of the heirs OF Thomas Pol
lock to the land, and the fling Of the
papers Of final proof this week was the
result OF the ruling OF the secretary Of
the Interior.
FOR PURE FOOD.
The state board Of dairy, food and
oil commissioners, has submitted its
regular biennial report to the COVER
nor The report contains much data
of great interest to the public. The
board has also made some very bene-
fetal suggestions. which, IL carried In
TO effect. will call for some new legis.
lation. IL says:
"The work of the commissioner since
the passage of the food law of 1903,
has thoroughly demonstrated the nec-
essity OF segregating the two depart
ments, horticultural inspection and
food inspection. We urgently recon-
mend that the powers of the commits
sloner be enlarged. SO as to extend his
work to the inspection Of drugs, medi-
cines, paints, oils, liquors and CONNER
oial stock foods, the commission find
ing much work to be accomplished IN |
these lines"
