CHECKING FRAUD
IN PREEMPTIONS

Victor, May 5:—An addition-
al sale of timber recorded by the
forests department illustrates
the active intention of the minis-
ter of lands that deception in
the matter of pre-emption shall
not be tolerated, and if attempted
will bring swift punishment,
Lands containing timber of more
than eight thousand feet to the
square acre are classed as tim-
bered lands, and as such are not
open to pre-emption in the ordi-
nary course for farming pur-
poses. On the north side of
Cardero Channel there is one "i
piece of land comprising 145 ml
acres which a short time ago was| if
taken up as a pre-emption. The
Pre-emptor very shortly after-
wards disposed of the timber
upon his as-yet-un-crown-granted
holding, at a price of one dollar K
per thousand, and straightway!
retiirned to town to enjoy him-
self on the results of his little
speculation, displaying no fur-
ther interest in his properly as a
future farm. Investigation was
at once ordered, a cruise showed | if
the timber to run from fifteen to| ll
thirty-five thousand feet to the| iif
acre, and the pre-emption was
cancelled and timber already cut
seized, Seven hundred thousand
feet had already been cut and
removed, The remainder on the
holding was estimated at 1,050,-
000 feet, but actually scaled 920,-
000 feet, and this has now been
sold at $1.60 per thousand in ad-
dition to the royalty, the pur-
chasing firm assuming also all| Mi
charges and expenses incidental
to the seizure. In addition there
