Agitation for litigation looking to the restoration of this land grant to the public domain on account of the fail ure of the railroad to live up to its agreement, originated in Jackson county. Jn 1906 C. L. Renmes and L. L. Mulit, legislative candidates, pledged themselves, if elected, to secure the passage ot a resolution by the legislature an thorizing legal action to recover title to the railroad grant loo elands. Senator Mulit afterwards secured the passage of a memorial to congress m 1907, four years alter the rail road withdrew its lands from sale, charging that the "de velopment and material prosperity of the state is retard ed" by the action of the railroad company. Congress pro vided,' in April, 1908, for the prosecution of suits in equity to recover title to the lands and their forfeiture to the gov ernment. The decision is of great import to Jackson county, whej'e a large percentage of Hie land is still withheld from settlement by the railroad. Development operations of all kinds have been checked. Every alternate section on either side of the railroad right of way was given the rail road on condition that they be sold in quantities ot not more than one quarter section to any one person for a -price not irreatcr than 2.f)0 an acre. No land has been sold since 1903, on any conditions, and previous to that time it was sold at various prices in almost any quantity, regardless of government stipulations. The history of the land grant is as follews: Congress passed an act in July, 18GG, granting any rail road company that would build the desired line to Portland every alternate section of public land along its route, to the amount of twenty alternate sections per mile. Two companies were organized in Portland to secure this grant and both were called the Oregon Central Railroad com pany, the first being known as the West Side company and the second as the East Side. The Oregon legislature finally designated the East Side company, which had been organized by J3en JLolladay and his associates, as tho 'com pany to receive the grant and eventually it secured the greater part of the land. In il870 the Oregon & California Railroad company was organized and the East Side and the West Side companies were united in this new organ ization. el une 2, 1S81, the company executed a trust deed giving preferred stockholders a preference in title to the granted lands and naming Stephen T. Cage as one of the trustees. In 1887 the Southern Pacific system acquired all of the capital stock ad outstanding bonds of the O. & C. New bonds were issued by the O. & C. at this time, secured by mortgage upon its railroad apd land grants, and $17,500, 000 of these bonds are still outstanding. During the years that the Southern Pacific company controlled tho land up to 190U when all were withdrawn from sale, il.'M.OOO acres had been sold in quantities exceed ing one quarter section and 29(5,000 acres in (plant ities not exceeding the legal limit fixed by the grant. Substan tially all of the 521,000 acres sold in quantities greater than oncquarter section were sold for a price greater than $2.f)0 an acre. Until the supreme court has passed upon the title a process that will require sonje two years, probably the lands must remain in the same condition they now are. As soon as the title has been absolutely settled the forest lands will probably be placed in reserves and none of the land will be placed in the public domain, subject to pur chase and homesteading, without an act of congress or a special 'ox.ecutivo order. The decision works both ways. While it will eventually restore much land to entry and development, it alsoVheeks the immediate development of tracts purchased from the railroad before sale of lands ceased, a development now being made possible through the extension of railroad lines.

PKOIMjK generally withhold decision upon the arrest of labor leaders and alleged discovery of dynamite plots, pending further developments. tTp to date, the entire affair seems a duplication of the Western Federation of Miners' alleged exposure following the Idaho outrages of a few years ago. Conspiracy on the part of employers seems to exist as well as on the part of employes. Kidnaping of alleged conspirators, instead of following customary legal meth ods, is a confession of weakness at the outset. It is a resort to unfairness just as the resort to dynamite is, and can only weaken the prosecution. Intolerance, prejudice, bigotry, are features of both sides in these labor wars, and the public has been taught by experience to withhold its sympathy and its censure until more of the truth is known'.
