applications for the land have
been made through the company
this week, by actual settlers, and
they are as a rule taking UK) acres.
A giKid class of citizens are making
application, and the tendency is to
select the liest land in 'the tract,
says the Journal.
. The manner in which these
lands are thrown open to the
public is controlled by the state
law. This tract of 84,700 acres
lying between the Deschutes and
Crooked rivers, which has been
placed under irrigation by the
Deschutes Irrigation and Power
company, was arid government
land and regarded as practically of
no value. According to law the
state may place a lien upon it in
favor of a company that will
establish an effective irrigation
system. The settler may then ac
quire the land from the state by
paving to the irrigation company

so that it is positively known that
the work of extending the road is
to lie pii.-hed this season.
Il will nifuire about two years
to complete the extension to Hums,
if the work is pushed as fast as
possible this season.

Livestock Agent of the 0. R. & X.
tVes Better Prospects for
Stockmen This Season.
C. J. Millis, livestock agent of
the O. II. A N., thinks better prices
for both sheep and cattle will pre-
The .vail later in the season, and ex-
will run regardless of 1 necls a moie lively movement of
em or central states, because of
their isolation from the great mar
ket centers.
I'lt happens that the surplus for
the past few years lias been held
on the ranges, which cause only a
temporary congestion. The coun
try is gradually adjusting itself to
the condition, and there must lie a
movement of stock to supply the
increasing demand. This slug
gishness of the market is not a
permanent thing. History repeat
itself in the: sheep and cattle mar
kets as in the political and finan
cial history of the county.
"People declined to shipout their
surplus last year and the result is
that the ranges are overcrowded
and. the country filled up with
sheep that cannot lie handled at a
profit by the buyers. The fact
that all the country between this
and the Misotiri river has a sur
plus of sheep now does not pre
sage a permanent sluggishness of
the market.
"As the eastern surplus, nearest
the great markets is gradually
turned off, the movement will
gradually extend to the far west
and the surplus, it is hoped, will
be marketed later at better prices :
than arc now offered.
"Even then the prices may not
be what are considered good prices,
but everything points to better
prices."

The supreme court last week
lecided that in the caBe of Charles
Allschul vs W. T. Casey which
was tried last fall before Judge
Bradsliaw and appealed, that the
Willamette VaUev Sc. Cascade
has legal title to the promrtv'at
Powell Buttes occupied by Mr.
Casey and over whose possession
the suit was instituted. The
opinion as handed down by Justice
Wolverton is as follows:
This was an action of ejectment
to try the title to real property.
The plaintiff claimed through the
Covornment and the Willamette
Valley A Cascade Mountain Com
pany. The defendant claimed by
adverse possession. The decision
of the lower Court was in favor of
plaintiff; and sustaining this
judgment the Supreme Court holds
that where land has been deeded
to a trustee with the proviso that
lie shall convey it only at such
time and to such iiersons as the
cestui que trustent shall designate,
a good title is acquired if the
trustee and the cestui que trustent
execute separated deeds conveying
their interests to the same person.
It is also held that although the
grantee of the' conveyances failed
to introduce evidence oi the corpo
rate existence of the Willamette
Valley A' Cascade Mountain
Wagod Road Company, the fact
that the patent shows that the
Legislature recognized its corpo
rate existence and the company
assumed to convey the land in the
capacity of a body corporate arc
enough prima facie, at least, to
establish its legal entity as a
corpiration.
