companies. Another township
In the Olympic peninsula in
Washington state shows record
of So per cent Of the homestead
claims patented already In the
hands of lumber operators or
lumber spectators.
The "squatter claim" method
OF stealing public timber IL this:
Prior to the creation of the ma
tional forests, and during the
days Of feverish timber specula-
tion on public lands, many
thousands OF locations were
made in the best stands of public
timber lands. These were for
the most part made by profess
sional locators or spectators
with an eye to the future. The
practice was to build cabin Of
logs with the pretense that 1t
was Q Homestead"
These cabins remained for the
most part unoccupied and the
land undeveloped as long as no
government surveys were under
taken. Whenever the public
land survey is undertaken, how
ever, rush Is made TO assert
rights to these old locations, and
the claimant undertakes to prove
that these cabins have constitut-
ed the actual bona fide resi-
dences" and homes" of these
imaginary homesteaders ever
since the locations of the claims.
The claimants sometimes move
in and remain during the sum-
mer months.

ROUND TRIP in AUTOBUS
COSTS 4 Cents IN PARIS

l 200 OF these buses in Paris, run
ming on nearly 200 miles OF
streets.
For 2 cents you can ride a
distance OF rs miles in second
class, cents being the first class
price. For 3 cents second class
and 5 cents first, you can ride the
entire length of the line.
In addition, there are special
workingmen's rates. All those

a workingman can go across
town in the morning and return

an American city would cost
probably 10 cents.

turning the holdings over to the

most favorite expedient, accord

utilize old "squatter" locations.
He cites as proof the case of
nine townships In Idaho adjacent

lumber companies within from one
