The federal district court In Ore
gon decided In favor of the govern
ment, declaring the lands forfeited.
The defendants, cross-petitioners
and lntervenors appealed to the cir
cuit court of appeals. That court
heard arguments, but certified cer
tain questions of law to the supreme
court, asking advice. The supreme
court,' on motion of the government
attorneys, directed the circuit court
to send up the whole record 1 )
volumes averaging 500 pages each
for final disposition of the case.
The contention of the railroad has
been that the government waived
Ub rights to recover by acquiescing
In departures from the prescribed
manner of disposing of the lands:
that the binding force of these pro
visions was ended by the granting of
patents to the railroad company;
that the suit is barred by the act of
1890, limiting the time (In iwhlch
suits may be brought to cancel pat
ents and that It is barred on the
general ground of undue delay by
the government In instituting proceedings.

WASHINGTON, June 21. The su
premo court has revorBed the decis
ion of tho Oregon district court, in
tho forfeiture to. tho government of
2,;i0ll,l)00 acres of land In western
Oregon, valued at between $50,000,-
1)00 and $70,000,000, that was grunt
d to the Oregon and California rail
road companp 50 years ago. This
railroad and its successors, 'the
Soul hern Pacific, failed. It is alleg
ed, to dispose of the lands to settlers
as provided in the grants. The courts,
however, granted in injunction
against any future violations of the
land grant by disposal through con
tracts, and enjoined the railroad
from any sale of timber on unsold
hinds until congress can conserve
the federal Interests.
The government's suit grew out of j
a resolution by congress uliccm.g
tbe attorney general to begin investi
gations, following a mnmorinl by the
Oregon legislature to eonprcss in
1(107.
The lands Involved were the great
er part of two giants by the govern
ment to (ho Oregon anil California
Railroad company in ISfiG and 1S70,
totaling 3,100.000 acres, to nld In
the construction of a lino from Port-'
laud. Ore., to a point on the Central
Pacific in California and a lino from
Portland to the Pacific coast to As-1
torla, Oregon. The Southern Pnclflcj
later succeeded to the railroad Inter-j
cats. One grant required '.hat tilOj
innds be sold b ytlio rnU'cad to nc
tuM settlers only, not more thnn a
quarter section to one puri'inscr and
at mi more than $2.50 Mi nci. The
other grunt, the smaller, did not re-1
qnlre sales to actual settlers, but
placed the other two limitations on
sales. 1 j
The government charged ttvit the .
railroad company disposed of nbr.nt;
Sno.000 acres, nearly all In violation;
of the conditions, and then withdrew
the balance from the market. The(
development of this section was
greatly hindered by the railroad's
policy. II was claimed.
Recovery of tho land not sold was
sought on the ground that the rn II
rc.nd had forfeited all rights by dis
regarding the conditions of the grant.
Slxfyfom cross-complaints, ,'ic-rsons
who had settled on the land, and
000 liitervonor persons who hnd of
fered to bnv land nt $2.50 but had
been refused by the railroad, sought
the appointment of a receiver to tnke
over tho lands and dispose of them
