14 THE MORNING- OREGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 30, 1910. 1AAGQN ROAD GRAMT SALE FIGURE HIGH Men Familiar With Land Val ues Believe It Will Far Exceed $2,000,000. PARTY IS NOW AT BURNS Members Have Represented J. J. Hill In Other Transactions C. M- Hyskell Denies That Kail road Interests Are Involved. Despite denials that the investors who are examining the landed prop erty of the Willamette Valley & Cas cade Mountain Wagon Road Company were identified with railroad interests. It was stated yesterday upon good au thority that W. J. Davidson and John B. Burchard - have acted repeatedly heretofore for J. J. Hill Interests m making land "purchases In other states. These men. It was said, acted for Mr. Hill in buying lands along- the Crookston-Warroad extension, among otherB. Real estate men familiar with Ore gon land values believe that the sale of the lands, if made, would be com pleted at a figure much in excess of the $2,000,000 first reported. "If the figures are given out," sa one authority, "it will be disclosed that Ihey are nearer $5,000,000 than $2,000, 000." This seemed to be the general be lief of those consulted. Party Reaches Burns. Mr. Davidson, Mr. Burchard, J. C. Wood and A. O. Robertson rested last night at Burns on their trip of Inspection of the property in an auto mobile. They will travel from there toward Albany, but the date of their arrival at Albany is problematical. It Is said that the itinerary may be changed so that the party will return to Ontario, where Colonel C. K. S. Wood Is awaiting the results of the i.-j.otifiTi 1 1 was Raid aain VI. 1 n yesterday, but also denied, that a large deposit had been made with the First National Bank of Ontario to bind the sale. The Willamette Valley & Cascade Wagon Road Company's grant, made luly 5, 1866, to the State of Oregon, often Is referred to as beingr the "heart of Oregon." Starting at Albany, it tra verses a route along the foothills of the Cascades to Ontario, on the east line of the state, located opposite Pay ette, Idaho. The title to the land was acquired by contract through the state, the corporation agreeing to construct the road in a substantial manner, to receive as compensation alternate sec tions of land within six miles on either Bide of the center. A clause of the grant conferred the right to receive 1920 acres for each linear mile of road actually con structed. In following the foothills of the Cascades there were actually con structed 438 miles of road and the com pany received title from the Govern ment at various times to 808,000 acres. Title Indorsed by Brewer. In the administration of President Cleveland, and by his specific order, a suit was begun tor cancellation of the title. The case was vigorously con tested through both the state and Fed eral courts, and on March 6, 1893, Jus tice Brewer gave an opinion in which lie held the title to be "beyond chal lenge." A coincidence Is found in the fact that the sale of the famous grant w.is completed on the day that the death of Justice Brewer was announced. Traversing Malheur, Harney, Crook and a portion of Linn counties, the Jiighway, which was regarded by Con gress as a military necessity, reaches some of the most productive agricul tural, grazing and timber lands in tne state. It was estimated by the first owners of the property that m the original grant there were 190.000 acres of timber, 280,000 acres of wheat lands, 140,000 acres of farm land subject to Irrigation and 198,000 acres of grazing lands. Part of Land Irrigated. Of the lands which are classed as subject to irrigation, 20,000 acres are now under canals and ditches in Crook County and can be safely estimated as worth $500,000. one-half of the sum deposited at Ontario. It Is estimated that there are 4,500, 000,000 feet of merchantable timber on the 190,000 acres of timber lands be longing to the grant, exclusive of pil ing, tie timber and poled, all of the latter class possessing a great commer cial value in the Middle West, East and South. West of the Cascades the company has 76,520 acres of this tim ber, which has been cruised. Cruisers looked over 61,620 acres on the east Bide of the Cascades. Fast of Prlne "ville there are 25,000 acres of heavy timber which has never been examined by the owners, lying In the Blue Moun tains and in what is known as the Horse Heart country. The company will also acquire title to 25,000 acres In the Buck Mountain country, just on the edge of the Blue Mountain forest reserve. It was this land that Mays, Smith. Jones and Sorenson desired to ihave included within the boundaries of the Blue Mountain forest, so as to Increase the amount of base lands they -would pa aoie 10 purcnase. Among the Important towns located in whole or in part along the right of way of tbe wagon road, and which will profit by a policy of opening the lands for settlement, are Prlneville, county seat of Crook County; Paulina, Burns, the county seat of Harney County; Vale, county Beat of Malheur County, and Ontario, a thriving city on the east line of the state. Lazards Ilave 1 OOO Leases. In past years it has been the policy Of tne banking house of lazard Freres, of France, to keep the property intact as far as possible but the expenses of taxaxion. amounting to about $30,000 per annum, and current cost of admin istration have been met through a sys tem of leasing. There are approxi mately 1000 leases in existence on the property, but the aoreage thus segrre gated Is unknown here. Settlers have succeeded from time to time in acquiring lands through uur chase, there being 282 contracts of sale -. now in existence. The new owners will -acquire the title subject to these Incumbrances. With these will come, however, a paying property, the Ban- tiam and Deschutes toll road, which runs down Cache Creek to the Des chutes River. Many of the leases held on the prop erty are soon to expire and renewals will rest with the new owners. Colonel C. E. S. Wood has been agent for the owners of the property 25 years and has defended successfully many suits seeking to destroy the title. The new company will be forced to de fend several suits in which individual settlers, or squatters, have gone upon the land and established homes, later bringing action in the courts to com pel the company to sell them the land at the prices named in the act of Con gress. Sale Xot Completed? "The sale has not been completed," said C. M. Hyskell. last night. "When Messrs. Wood, Davidson, Burchard and Robertson left here their intention was to examine the grant lands from On tario to Prlneville, and if they are suited, they will return here and nego tiate concerning the price to be paid. "The owners are asking more than $2,000,000, but I am not prepared to state the amount. "I do not think that any money has been deposited with the bank at On tario. It was not a part of the plan when it was talked over here In Port land. The men who are out there are well-known capitaists of Minnesota and well able to finance the scheme if they decide to undertake It. They are friends of H. A. Hunter, of this city, who was the first resident of Wiscon sin to engage In the timber business in Oregon. "You can say positively that the Wisconsin men are not identified with the railroad interests in any way. They are friends of Mr. Hill, of the Northern Pacific, as all Wisconsin tim ber men are. That is all." TERMINAL COMPANY BALKS Mayor's Demands for Bridge Conces sions Are Not Liked. northern Pacific Terminal Company officials stated yesterday that by tomor row, or at least by the next day, they would be prepared to answer 'Mayor Simon's letter asking for concessions for the Broadway bridge. After receiving the Mayor's communi cation yesterday, the officials of the company held conferences, and later were taken by a member of the City Engineer's office to the site of the bridge, where the plans and specifications for Its construction were explained in detail. The Mayor's demands were futher ex plained, and the officials of the company stated later that they were In full pos session of the facts, and were Teady to give the matter their careful considera tion. C. A. Dolph is president of the Ter minal Company, and Edward Lyons Is its manager. It is understood that Mr. Dolph has placed the matter largely in the hands of Mr. Lyons. While the officials of the company refused to talk for publication it is un derstood that they are not pleased with the proposition presented by the' Mayor, and that they will hesitate about making the various concessions he asks.

EVIDENCE ALL HEARSAY Sherirf and Deputy District Attorney Hold Hearing and Declare That Sunday liiquor Law Will Be Enforced. SEASIDE, Or.. March 29. (Special.) . Rev. J. J. Patton was rebuked at a Dis trict Attorney's investigation today. The charges made by Rev. Mr. Patton re garding the sale of liquor In various saloons In this city formed the basis of the Inquiry. Deputv District Attorney Howard M. Brownell and Sheriff M. R. Pomeroy arrrived on the morning train and at once subpenaed all concerned in Mr. Patton's charge to appear at an in quiry. Mr. Patton repeated his charges, but admitted that they were based on hearsay evidence. He denied that he had entered saloons Sunday dis guised as a logger. A. H. Ruthrauff and Fred Johnson, the two men whose testimony was relied upon by Mr. Pat ton, were frequently drunk, according to other witnesses. "In the future. Brother Patton, get evidence of people who are competent, and get the evidence of two men," said Mr. Brownell. at the close of the hear ing. "Tour testimony Is but hearsay, and In fact amounts to nothing more than the evidence of a man who peeped through a crack and saw men drinking. He does not say who they were nor what they were drinking." Mr. Brownell insisted his office In tended to enforce tie law and he warned the saloonmen present accordingly. Sheriff Pomeroy made a similar state ment. Frank Pavletich, bartender at the An tlers saloon, B. J. Callahan and Charles Bester, ;ill saloonmen, swore that their places of business had never been open Sunday. They testified that no liquor had been sold or dispensed on that day. Pavletich admitted that Marshal Utzinger had been in hls saloon Sunday and had warned him to keep the side door locked. At that time there were in the saloon the proprietor and two business men who were not drinking, he said. Ruthrauff had declared that he had bought a bottle of whisky in the Antlers in the presence of Marshal Utzinger. Marshal Utzinger testified that he was confident no saloon had been open the Sunday In question. Rev. Mr. Patton said that he would give evidence 'as far as was consistent as a minister of the Gospel,' but he would not tell all he knew, even If it would help the law. He did not think the District Attorney's office had been efficient in enforcing the law. He de nied that he had found Johnson drunk, put him to bed and then "sweated" him for information. In his evidence Rev. Mr. Patton said that Rev. Mr. Rarrick had put Astoria in the dry column on Sunday and that Mr. Rarrick had Informed him a woman oame to his house one night and warned him his life would be attempted. Sheriff Pomeroy demanded to know why such evidence had not been given to him or to the grand Jury. He said he would sub pena Mr. Rarrick for a statement to that effect. Alexandre Gilbert, a prominent real es tate man, addressed Mr. Patton after the Inquiry and said he would remove his children from a church "where whisky bottles were held up to them in place of sermon?.' Mr. Brownell told Rev. Mr. Patton that his duty to the law was to furnish the Sheriff with particulars first and preach about It afterward. Costly Tacoma Foundry Bums. TACOMA, -Wash., March ?.
