Titlo to millions, of dollars' worth of valu able timber land in this state 1b di rectly Involved In the outcome of a caso filed In tho district court hero today by Richard D. Miller vs. the Northern Pacific Railroad Compnny and the Clearwater Lumber Com pany. Points are r,alsed in tho caso which, if won. will Invulldato tho entire holdings of tho Northern Pa cific Railway Company between this city and St. Paul and give tho man agement to other hands. Miller seeks primarily to establish his claim to certain lands within tho Jjoundnries of ' timber already pat ented by tho Northern Pacific Com pany. In his argument he attacks the Northern Pacific Railway Com pany, contending that it is not tho legal successor to the Northern Pa cific Railroad Company, tho original organization. I When the Rainier forest reserve In Washington was created tho North ern Pacific Railway Company wasj permitted to make lieu selections of. timber lands in tho Clearwater val ley. Richard Miller, plaintiff in tho case filed here today, was ono of many settlers who had filed on thfs same land under the timber and stone act or tho homestead law. Mil ler now contends while his filing-was made after tho Northern Pacific made Its lieu land selection It was prior to the approval of tho railroad company's soWtion by tho interior department. If the case is won by the plaintiff on this point, over 250 settlers will acquire title to lands which they a few years ago had to give up to tho railroad company. The contention that the Northern Pacific Railway Company Is not tho legal successor of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company Is based on the same pro visions pit forth by a similar suit filed in Spokane last week.
