"Innocent purchaser" tricks did not avail at last to bar passage of tho Fulton land-grant resolution in tho House of Representatives at Washington. Tho resolution was adopted by that body after a two months' fight with rnilroads and timber syndicates, which constantly tried to hide their illegal acts with pleas for Innocent purchaser amend ments. All these amendments have been rejected and tho resolution stands adopted just as It was writ ten three months ago by Mr. B. D. Townscnd. Any one of tho amend ments would have defeated tho pur pose of the Government and the ends of justice, since the railroad and the timber syndicates would have posed successfully as innocent purchasers. Now It may be expected that the Department of Justice will at once begin the suits authorized by tho Fulton resolution "to enforco any and all rights and remedies of the United States of America in any nanner arising or growing out of or pertaining to either or any of the following acts of Congress" granting lands for railroads and for tho Coos Bay wagon road. Tho resolution will authorize the Government to bring suit either to compel sale of the land In compli ance with tho terms of tho grants, or to disposses the companies of tho lanu by forfeiture proceedings. Thcso alternatives will bo presented to a court of equity. While some author ities maintain that the Government does not need tho Fulton resolution, others assert that there can bo no forfeiture proceedings until the Gov ernment asserts tho right to havo the lands revert for non-performance by the companies of the condition subsequent. The Fulton resolution is the fruit of ono year's work by tho Govern ment. In that time the Govern ment's special attorney, Mr. Town send, made his Investigation and report and tho Fulton resolution has been adopted. Persons who aro really Innocent pin chasers will not bo molested, according to tho Gov ernment's plan. Portland Oregonl fin. Absolutely no Foundation For Rumor That Steamship Was On Fire Off Coos Bay. Tho wild rumor from Portland that tho steamship President, run ning between San Francisco and Seattle was on lire off tho Coos Bay coast Friday, was absolutely without foundation. Tho President reached 'Puget Sound early Saturday In good condition nnd did not havo any trouble on tho trip. How the rumor started Is not known. It Is presumed that some ono got wireless messages at Port land mixed up to such an extent that nn Investigation was thought worth while. The wires being down nil day Sat urday prevented an Investigation of it then and It was not until Sunday j that it was definitely learned that the report was a canard.

Now that home-seekers, actual bona fide settlers see that the Government Is taking tho matter seriously, they will flock to these lands at a faster rate than the state has ever known. I am confident of that. I look to see a good share of tho most available parts of tho unsold portions of the grant gobbled up within the next six months, not only by people In this state, but from all over the country. Value of the Land. "Tho railroad company, I under stand, holds these lands worth about $25 an acre, and the settlers under tho law aro entitled td buy them at $2.50 an acre. The 21 suits which I have filed In the courts hero are tho only cases so far where people have undertaken to compel the Ore gon & California Company to live up to the law as set down in the acts of Congress of 18G6 and 18G9." Lafferty prepared a resume of the legislation and historical facts rela tive to the land grants to the O. & C. Company for Attorney-General Bona parte, and this resume was used ef fectively in the hearings before the public land committees of the Senate and tho House in the fight for the passage of the Fulton resolution. "The contention of the railroad company has been all along," con tinued Mr. Lafferty, "that it had a clear title to these lands, and that It would not be compelled to sell for $2.50 an acre or in tracts of only 1G0 acres each, and then only to actual settlers. They have sold a great deal of timber lands to the big timber syndicates In tracts of from 50,000 to 75,000 acres, and nobody knows how much they got for It. "Whenever any people havo set tled on quarter-sections and have gone to the land agents of the O. & C. Company and tendered them $2.50 an acre for this land, and demanded a deed, the railroad officials have laughed at them, but with the Ful ton resolution now effective there Is no reason why the entire tract from East Portland to the southern boun dary of Oregon should not now be settled with amazing rapidity, for It gives bona fide settlers much greater guarantee that they will eventually win out than they have had up to this time." The essential feature of the situa tion and the one that will mean great things for Oregon in the event of the Government s final victory in the courts is the fact that no time Is to be lost In bringing the matter before tho Federal court In this dis trict. On the other hand, the O. & C. Company be depended upon to put up a powerful fight, for the reason that the possession of $60,000,000 worth of land Is involved; a tract bigger than two entire states of the Union, and increasing In value very rapidly.
