IMPORTANT RULING
BY LAND OFFICE
CONTESTANTS CANNOT IGNORE

The La Grande land office has re-
Gently dismissed a number of contests
by squatters against those who filed
timber claims in township 4 north Al
the township in this county that was
thrown open on September 10 last.
The Star says the ruling while it af-

procedure that will be required by

hard in all contest cases by private
parties.
In these particular cases, contests
were filed, dates for hearing set, and
upon the day set the contestant in a
number OF cases failed to show up,
though the contestees did, often at
great expense and inconvenience. The
land office would then dismiss that
contest and give the contestant Ger
tain time to move to reinstate his
case. Instead of doing this, a large
number OF them dropped the first
case and started new contests on ex
actly the same ground. The local
office allowed such contests for some
time, but their frequency and man
ifejt Inconvenience, and in some
cases, injustice, led to a full examin
alton of the matter on the part of the
officers, and last week in an opinion
written by Receiver Eberhard, con
Cured in by Regis ster Bramwell, the
land laws were exhaustively discuss
ed, and the conclusion reached thai
such contests were not legal. Ac
cordingly they were dismissed,

if sustained on appeal, will hereafter
require all persons to stay with theil
first contest and fight it out in thai
case.

to be of more direct benefit to the

every editor in the country in this
work, which is entirely in the inter
est of a greater Inland Empire"
