Patents Issued On Umatilla Reservation Land Rise Questions
The competency commission has approved about 60 patents for Umatilla Indians on the local reservation, with 18 000 to 20 000 acres patented. Most lands taxed, much of it fertile wheat land north of the Umatilla river, and much allotted land remains unpatented. Expected to take 15 to 20 years to patent all, with 53 000 acres still allotted but unpatented. The patenting timeline shifted by department rulings, affecting expiration dates of allotments, while Swartzlander cautions over policy changes. In a separate incident at Joe Bergevin’s, two youngsters escaped a buggy wreck unscathed after a horse bolted into a gate, with adults providing first aid.
