First Umatilla Lands Open to Squatters at Appraised Price
John Crow led the first buyers on the Umatilla reservation as about 90,000 acres opened for sale under the Moody law. B F Wells followed, with nearly 100 men taking 160 acre plots. The sale date was supposed to be the 15th, but squatters with prior rights could settle first. Contests will determine rightful owners if multiple claims appear, with price depending on highest bid among contenders. If no contest, land sells at appraised value. A rush to La Grande is anticipated as land offices handle competing claims.
