"ACTUAL SETTLER" DEFINED
To Make Good Applicant Must Observe
Same Rules as Under Home-
stead Act.

Congressman Hawley, who has
interested himself on behalf Of the
people in the movement to force the
Southern Pacific to dispose Of its
lands held by grant from the general
government, to settlers at $3.50 per
acre, has cleared up one Of the vexing
problems confronting those who were
undecided as to what ''actual settler"
meant with regard to those who are
entitled to purchase said lands under
the grant. As a result Fred d. Dem
net, assistant commissioner OF the
general land office, has furnished Mr..
Hawley the following information:
"In the case Of the United States vs.
Jones L. D., 23-the department
has under consideration the act Of
May 2s, 1880, (2l stat. 14S), which gives
certain actual settlers the right to
purchase lands In the Usage Indian
reservation in Kansas. 1t was held
Ia said decision that the term actual
settler refers to one who had made
settlement on the land and followed
same by residence. This has been the
ruling OF the Office In regard to the
meaning OF the term actual settler,
and the same ruling would hold good
in regard to the construction Of the
term actual settler, when used In a
grant to railroad company"
From this it will be seen that In
order to make good the applicants
claim to this railroad land at $3.50
per acre, the settler must make his
residence upon the land just as he
does with the government under the
homestead law.
It is quite probable that the railroad
company will be even more exacting
than the government in this respect,
and nothing short Of actual and con-
tinual residence on the land until
title is secured, will avail in getting
possession Of the land under the terms
Of the grant.-Eugene Register

Picnic at Rickreall.

The annual picnic given by the
Artisans at Rickreall last Saturday
was the most successful ever given
by the order. A large crowd was in
attendance, every section Of Polk
county being represented. The prin-
clpal address Of the day was delivered
by H. s. Hudson, Grand Supreme
Master Artisan, OF Portland. His
address contained many things Of
interest not only to Artisans but to
the public in general. Stockwell's
band, Of Dallas, furnished excellent
music, and several well-rendered
vocal numbers added to the pleasure
Of the occasion. A ball game In the
afternoon between P. A. Finseth's
team and Ballston, resulted in favor
of the latter team. The dance given
in the evening was largely attended
and was one Of the most enjoyable
ever given by the young people Of
Rickreall.

Rev. W. A. Elkins has accepted a
call to the pastorate OF the Christian
