THE GAZETTE. HEPPNER, THURSDAY, DEO. 13, 1883. i . . BAIL ROAD LAXDS. A Step Towards Restoring Unearned Odd Sections 'o !he People. GOOD NEWS FOB SETTLERS IN THE HKI'I'NER II ILLS. At last there in some stir begin ning to be made in regard to who owns pr. '.is, to own the immense urea of lands in-E8tern Oregon which have been fur years errone ously termed "railroad lands.'' Congress has met, and among it first proceedings were the intro duction, of bills restoring to their rightful owners, the settlers, , vast tracts of unearned railroad grants. Among the many bills introduced, that of Senator Slater is of the motet importance .to this country. It confirms to the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company all lands earned by construction of any por tion of the road, but restores to settlement or sale several millions of acres in "Washington Territory and Oregon, being applicable to that portion wesof Wallula junc tion. The right of settlers on odd sections is preserved,- by allowing them to' enter "upon liomestead or pre-emption laws, or purchase, not more than ICO acres at $1.25 per 8 ere. Twenty years ago the odd sec ,tio;is for 20 miles a this side of the Columbia river : were condi tionally granted to the Northern Pacific Co., and 20 more miles of odd 1 sections back towards , the Blue mountains were reserved to indemnify the company for what odd sections had been already taken by settlers in the first 20 miles. The first 20 miles has nev er been earned, and although it-is n notorious fact that almost none of "the first odd sections had been taken by-settlers at the time the grant was ' made, the , farce was htill continued of reserving the isecond 20 miles to replac'e what had never been lost in the first 20 miles. Through the Heppner Hills to-day, the best land is in variably found on these odd sec tions, to which no title can lie ob tained from either the poverinnent or railroad company. The former has conditionally given away the title, and the latter has condition ally never earned it. ' This uncertain condition of things ban . greatly retarded the wttlement of the ; country, and caused confusion and annoyance to the people. If a man settles upon an odd section the courts look up on hiin a3 a trespasser, entitled to no protection in his estate. If Mr. Slater's bill passes, as it ought, it will have the effect of opening to settlement the millions of acres of land in Umatilla r.nd Wasco counties, to which at present no : title can be obtained by settlers. Lust spring the land oflica at The Dalles received filings on odd sections in those indemnity limits, and one settler will prove up on each a claim on Dec. 31st, in Hepp ner. There is no good reason why he should not obtain his patent in the usual manner, and other set tler who made homestead and pre-emption tilings on indemnity odd sections six mohths ago should now take steps to prove , up, and thus thoroughly test the matter as to whether the railroad company can longer wrongfully hold these An unusually important case h is been recently decided by Judge McCreary in the Uuited States Cir cuit Court of Colorado. The United States brought suit to can cel 01 patents to lauds held by the Colorado Coal and Iron Co. and others, in lias Animas county. The patents were obtained through the pre-emption laws between 1S70 and 1871, and issued from the Pu eblo lr.nd office. A f terwards it was found that the patents were irreg ularly obtained, the patentees be ing fictitious persons. Testimony was introduced that the register and receiver of the land office were jMirties to the fraud. The defence churned the deeds were now good, granting they wer3 ftaidulently obtained, because they are in the hands of innoceat parties. The court held adversely, and rendered , a decision in favor of the eom plajnaut, which cancels the title t) ."OO ncres of valuable land. XEWS XQTES.
