IMPORTANT DECISION.
Grazing Land Subject of Long Litiga
tion, Settled at Iat.
t . Both local and foreign interest
centers In a decision of the local land
office relative to grazing land. A
Pendleton paper outlines the decision
and its precedent:
Considerable significance is attached
by local lawyers to the decision ren
dered by the land office department
and reported from La Grande yester
day to T. J. Tweedy of this city. In
which Mr. Tweedy won out in the land
contest case which has been hanging
fire for several months. It Is said
thnt the decision of 'the case throws
light upon the way In which the fed
eral authorities will decide the land
cases which will come before the fed
eral court this fall.
Briefly reviewed, the history of tha
entire matter is this: In 1885, under
the Slater bill the reservation was cut
down and a large area was thrown
open for sale at auction. Most of th
land. Including the weedy ranch, whs
not bid upon at ait. . !l ,'
, In 1801 a bill was passed reopentnj
the land for sale, with the require
ment attached that to acquire title a
man must live upon his land one year
and cultivate 25 acres. : ;
The Fulton bill, passed In 1805, pro
vided for the patenting of lands' unfit
tor cultivation as grazing land. tJnder
this provision Tweedy gained title to
his land. ' And Amos F. Boyne ' Con
tested his claim on the ground tha.
the land was fit for cultivation an 1
more than mere grazing land. Whim,
therefore, the land office rendered it
decision in favor of Mr. Tweedy, the
decision was taken as setting a presi
dent in all the cases involved in that
district, for Tweedy'a ranch Is said t J
be one ot the best in that'regton.
The Tweedy ranch consists of 140
acres, about four mties west ot Mea
cham, and is said to consist largely 1 1
.Imber and rocks. Tet it is considered
..ie best of the lands Involved in the
-vderal Indictments, to be tried this
-alt For this reason the case Is con
sidered significant and will have a tell
ing weight in the other cases as they
involve practically the same conditions
.4 did the Tweedy case.

t BALL GAME HERE,
iluktT City Team Will Play Perry on
Local Grounds Sunday. "
Contrary to announcement made
yesterday, the Baker City-Perry base
ball game next Sunday will be played
In La Grande. The Perry manage
ment decided that It would be more
profitable and better all around to
arrange the game In this city, hence
the change in place.
Bills will be out this evening an
nouncing the affafr and the Perr)
management hopes to have large
crowd out. The La Grand ball
ground have been vacated for some
tlm-o the hungry fan will take
pleasure In witnessing the contest next
Sunday afternoon, which promise to
be a fast exhibition.
Still Walling for Light.
Last night Pendleton was again In
darkness and the currentTiad not yet
been turned on at I o'clock this after
noon. However, at that time the elec
tric people were expecting to se the
light on at almost any mlnuta. It
: explained that the delay la turn-
taT on the current I due to the diffi
culty In drying out the machinery at
t" power plant. Though the plant
is uninjured the machinery became
iktd by the flood and it must be
I j.-oughly dried before the plant can
i used. Pendleton East Oregonlan.
