Only Good for Pasture.

The following extract from the de-
cison In the Tweedy case shows the
reason for upholding the contestee:
"The contestee produced a num-
ber OF witnesses. stockmen, farmers
and real estate men, who had care
fully examined the land and who tes-
titled substantially as follows: that
the land is a thin reddish soil, shall
low to bedrock, with outcroppings Of
stone and barren places here and
there over the surface and contains
a considerable growth abf scrub pine
timber and native grass and that said
land could not be profitably cnlti-
waited; that said land is suitable for
grazing and that for several years the
claimant has pastured his stock there
on. Some of these witnesses testified
that 1t would cost from $40 to $50
per acre to clear the land Of stone
anu liilDcI anu put IL hN NoiiuA'ASh
for the plow.
1--WE have carefully considered and
weighed all of the testimony in this
case covering not only the lands in
question: but territory as wide as
Umatilla county and find that
clear preponderance of the testimony
is to the effect that the lands are
grazing lands and are not suscep-
tible OF cultivation or residence and
we further find that for several years
past, the contestee has used the land
for the purpose for which they were
best adapted, namely-grazing.
1--WE, therefore, hold that the law
under which these lands were taken

There is much satisfaction today

OF the La Grande land Offices de-
cision favorlng T. j. Tweedy in the
contest brought against him by A. F.
Boyne. The Tweedy case is said to
be a typical one and It is now be-
lieved that the findings IN that case
will also apply to others Of the same
character.
This icing the case, the entrymen
and their hackers take the decision
as vicory for their side and say
that they are now vindicated from
the charges made against them by
Special Agent Alexander.
Something like 800 entries were
held up by the land office at the in
stance OF the special agent who re-
ported that the land involved was
good as agricultural land as we'll as
for grazing. A score or more of the
claims were contested by other par
ties and Mr.. Tweedy's was one of
these. His land is said to have been
better than that of the majority Of
the claims upon which PROOF was to
be made under the provisions of the
