from th Oregon ft California rail
road company, and their rights under
the law, were set forth In some detail
t the hearlnga before the Hon
commute. The provialona ot the
grant prohibit sales except to actual
tattlers in limited quantitle and at a
limited price. By necessary lmpll
cation It permit talet of the kind
mentioned.
Thla provision of the grant it a
condition lubaequent tor breach of
which the Oover ment hat right of
forfeiture. However, a condition
subsequent la not self-executing.
Upon the breach of the condition title
doea not automatically revert to tbe
grantor. So that until the Govern
ment in some way asaerta rlghta of
forfeiture, title remaint unimpaired
In the railroad company, with full
authority to make aalea to actual
settlers tn the manner provided In
the grant. After forfeiture 1 claimed
no further talet of any kind can be
made br th railroad company. If
th contention of th Oovernment I
correct. But all sale mad within
th terms ot th grant will be valid
aad win be In no way affected either
by the Fulton resolution or by any
salts thst will be commenced.
Attorney-Oeneral Bonaparte In hi
