GO por aero. Those lands comprise tho millions of dollars worth of timber in the Willamette Rogue and Umpqua val loys and in Western Oregon, pur chased by largo lumber companies from tho Southern Pnclflo and for merly a part of tho Oregon & Cali fornia Congressional grant. Tho lands aro owned by 47 Individuals or corporations, each of which hus beon made a defendant In suits for tho forfeituro ot tho lands brought by tho United States subsequent to tho suit ngalnst tho Oregon & Cali fornia Railroad itself. While tho nttltudo of tho Dopart mont of Justice to tho proposed plan whoroby tho lumbermen would bo al lowed to repurchase tho lands from tho government has not beon mndo public, It Is understood that Attor-noy-denoral Wlckersham nnd I). D. Townsend, special assistant to tho Attorney-General, who has porsonal chargo of tho Government's cases against tho railroad and tho lumber men, do not oppose the Introduction of tho bill Into Congress. Whatovor recommendations thoy will mako aft er the bill has been referred to tho Department of Justice for approval, will bo on tho legality of tho pro posed act, and upon Its probablo of fect upon the main suit against the Orogon & California Railroad for tho forfolturo ot 2,300,000 acres that tho railroad still retains from, the original grant. Tho department will probably not express Itsolf rogardlng tho policy of the act, which It re gards ns a matter for Congres to de tormlno. Dopeml Vpon Outcome of Suits. Tho effect of tho bill, If It becomes n law, Is depondont upon tho out- como of tho trial of the suits against tho 47 purchasers of railroad lands In quantities greater than 1000 ucres In the United States Circuit Court. These suits wero filed January 21, The white mosques float o'er the gleaming town Like gulls on a silver lake Where the last red glow of the sun goes down And the morning is first to break.

But, oh, for an hour in the candlelight With my love by the Christmas tree, To woo and win from her lips tonight me I 1000, and charged that tho Orogon & California Railroad had violated Its ugroomont with tho United Stntcs In soiling portions of Its grant for moro than )2,D0 nu aero nnd In quan tities groator than 1G0 acres to each purchaser. It was alleged In tho suits that tho railroad having violat ed tho terms of tho grant, tho lands wero forfeited to tho government. In nnswor to tho government's complaint tho purchasers ot theso lands sot up as a dofoiiBo that thoy woro Innocent purchasers, that thoy had been allowed undisputed posses sion for many years, had oxpondod largo amounts In Improving and do voloplng tho property and that to tako tho lauds away nt this time would bo confiscation ot property without duo procoss ot Inw. The bill provides that In caso tho lowor court finds against tho pur chasers of theso lands, within six months thoy may confoss Judgmont, allow a decreo to ho entered ngalnst thorn nnd pay tho United States $2. CO nn ncro for tho lands declared for foltod, thereupon securing patents to them from tho United States govern ment. Tho condition Is to bo merely n condition nnd Is not binding, such ot tho defendants as do not caro to tako advantago of tho act being nt ltborty to appeal tholr cases and, in case ot a decreo declaring tho lauds forfoltod by tho Supromo Court, tho dofendnnt Is to bo glvon six months In which to pay tho government for tho land that ho secured from tho railroad. Tho largest purchasers of tho Oro gon & California lands was tho IJooth-Kelly Litmbor company, which holds over 70,000 ncros. Among tho other largo purchasers nro tho Ham mond companies, holding about C5, 000 acres, the Wentworths of tho Portlnnd Lumber Company, who own about 40,000 acres, T. D, and E. S. Collins, holding 26,000 acres, C. A. Smith, 35,000 acres, and tho Woyor- hauser Interests with 15,000 acres. NEWS OF TiUIIIV.
