Mrs. c.. Fuller and son Claude
returned Wednesday night from
Isabelle where they had been to locate
claims They rep 1T a great rush to
that section by parties who are after
government land. They selected
claims twenty five miles west OF
Isabelle, but were Obliged to file over
soldiers declaratory statements. Much
of the land, nearly all the best pieces,
are covered by soldiers declaratory
statements. 1t seems that land
sbarps have secured these declaritory
statements and covered the land in
hopes of being able to sell the re
liuouishments to intending settlers.
At any rate, much land has been cov-
cred that way in the past, and seems
10 be the case at this time. Mrs.
Fuller and Claud have eason to be
lieve they will secure the claims as
the declarstory statements expire this
month and there is no evidence SO far
of ANYTHING being done under the
statement. Should they secure the
claims they expect to get onto them
