News of the action or the 1'nited
Slates Supreme Court today in ren
dering a decision in favor of the Gov
ernment in the celebrated Oregon &
California land grant cases was re
ceived here early this afternoon.
Douglas County has approximately
70,ooo acres of grant lands and
vitally interested in the outcome of
these cases. Of this amount of land
UO7.360 acres is contained in the de
cree. The remaining 65, nun acres
or land is unpatented, hut will never
theless be subject to disposition by
the Government.
The action to recover these lands
was instituted by the Government In
the Federal Court at I'orlland sev
eral years ago. The cases were later
tried and Judge Wolverton rendered
a decision in favor of the United
States. The decision of this court
was afterward appealed to the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals at San Fran
cisco, where the testimony was cer
tified and taken directly to the Su
preme Court of the I' lilted Stales.
Arguments of the attorneys Interest
ed in the actions tollowed there
some lime ago. A decision was later
rendered hy this tribunal "which
modified the decree of Judge Wol
verton to the extent that the rail
road company should be allowed
$2.50 an acre for its land instead of
being deprived altogether of com
pensation. At the time that decision
was rendered Congress was also
given six months to adopt legislation
providing for the disposition of the
lands. In conformity with this de
cree Congress passed a law reinvest
ing title to the lands in the Govern
ment and appropriating money with
which to pay the railroad company.
Provision was also made to provide
for the classification Rnd sale of the
Irnets in accordance w ith the terms
of the original grant.
The decision of the I'nlled States
Court was then referred back lo the,
Federal Court at Portland and JudKe
Wolverton rendered a second deri
sion In which he held in conformity
with the decree of the higher conn.
The railroad company again appealed
to the I nlted States Supreme Court
anil one of the Important grounds
was based on the contention that the
law enacted by Congress was uncon-
stitulion.il. Today's decision of the
Supreme Court is said to bp very
p weeping, and affirms practically
every point raised by the llovern
Pient attorneys
Practically all of the land in
Imnglas County were classified last
