A letter In band from United
States Attorney James A. Smlser
calls attention to a fraud attempt
along the Pacific coast, especially
in Oregon, by certain people who j
claim to bave reliable information!
regarding tbe opening of certain
lands for entry, and who claim to
bare power to reserve sections of
the territory. Mr. Smlser says:
"There is no possible way by
which preference right of entry can
be obtained at this time to the Ore
gon and California railroad lands."
A clipping from a letter of the
Department of the Interior at Wash
ington, D. C, says:
"The attention of the Depart
ment has been called to the fact
that there are already at work iu
the field locators who are claim
ing that through their services pre
ference rights can be secured by
the payment of a small fee. The
Department desiree at this time
again to warn the public that no
such preference right can be obtain
ed at. this time, and that any mon
ey paid to such locators will un
doubtedly be money thrown away."
