lido Kcttlcr at a fixed j rice. Din-cuH.-ing
the liittory of the grant, Mr.
Wood laid:
HUlary tl Craal Tela.
The land grant wn made to the
tate ol Oregon by the United
Btatea by act of Congress in IStto,
upon the tole condition that a
wagon toad be constructed acrots
the Cascade mountains irom near
Albany and across the ntate to its
eastern boundary, the Snake river,
via Harney Valley. The evidence
of construction of the road was to
he the governor of Oregon and
Ciovernors Woods and Chadwiek,
II respectively, certified that the road
ami . a
, I) u it been constructed.
Upon these certificates the pres
ent owners bought the land and
if when in Cleveland's second ad
1 minielMtlon, a suit to forfeit the
It grant was bought by the attorney
f 'general on the ground that the
road had never been properly
constructed, the circuit court for
tho dintrict of Oregon, commencing
with Judge Deady and ending with
Judge Gilbert, decided that in fact
the road had been built sufficiently
well according to the rugged and
pioneer custom of the country and
i also deoided that it was immateri
I al whether the road had actually
; been constructed according to the
Uerms of the grant or not, because
the granting act of Congress itself
mude the governors' certificates
conclusive evidence upon this
point, and that purchasers had a
right to rely on these certificates,
and that, therefore, the present
owners were bona fide purchasers
for value. '
! Till Perfectly Clear.
The contentions, on appeal, were
upheld by the supreme court of
the United States and Bince that
time the present owners have held
the title absolutely and without
any condition or restriction what
pver. There is no condition that
they shall sell to any one, or at any
vrice. In fact there is no condition
whatever and they own the property
tin fully and perfectly as any man
owns the fee simple right to his
fur in.
The original grant was from the
United States to the state of Ore
gon, The state of Oregon then
granted iu rights to the Willam
ette Valley & Cascade Mountain
Wagon Road Company, which sold
to the present owners, although
there have been several convey
ances of title among themselves.
This grant was also peculiar in
not being a grant in place, or, as
in every other grant on the Pacific
Coast, a Brant of every other
section designated by the odd nam
bers: but was a erant of three
sections per mile of road as defi
nitely located and constructed to
be selected from odd numbered
sections anywhere along the line
of definite location and within 12
mile limits, being six miles .each
side of the line of location. -Very
Little af Gnat SeM.
Under this method of filing the
grant, it finally amounted to 863,-
000 acres, of which, from the time
of the original grant (1865) about
75,000 acres has been'sold, leaving
in round numbers about 790,000
acres and no timber has ever been
sold. ' .. '
The policy of the owners of the
grant in refusing to make sales has
sometimes been criticised, but in
the first place nobody really de
sirous of. making a home has ever
been refused a location if it could
not be found on the governmeat
sections. In the second place, the
owners have paid many thousands
of dollars every year into the state
treasury as taxes and the natural
demands for schools, churohe,
lodges, cemeteries, etc., have been
met by donation. Wherever a
townsite was demanded, it has
been created and the lots freely of
fered for sale. The wisdom of
holding the grant intact is now
demonstrated from tho fact that
every buyer who has Investigated
the grant has made it a determin
ing point to know whether the
grant has been skimmed off or de
pletcd of its best property.
The Awakening of Crook County.
Oh, thingt are sure a doing
In tliii long DPglected laud
And developments are brewing
Now the railroad's took a hand.
From Shaniko to Prinvville,
From Biggs right up to Bend, -
The proepecU are dura Sue, Bill,
For prosperity without end.
Yes, you bet your bottom dollar ,
The country'! on the go,
And the "knocker'a" ceased to hollar
Cos now he's got no show.
All the real estate 'i a-cllmbing
While the settler's juinpin' In,
With the first Investors' tmiliux
And locators on the grin 1
Some are sleeping on the tables,
Borne are dozing agin' the wall,
All are eating where they're able,
Or they're eating not at all.
For now the railroad'! coming,
Crook County's ou the boom,
And the homesteaders are running
To get in while there's room.
It's the end of open ranges,, v.
The b rones an4 wild (usxy tails,
For we'll see some startling changes
When they lay them Iron rails. .
All the sage'U be plowed under,
They'll tame the branded steer,
s,n say I l snoulun t wonder, '
I( they kicked about near beer.
For that! how progress worki Its way,
Mixing the whole blamed pack,
So take a hunch, if you want to stay
And look to the front, not tack.
Swap your grouch for a nice town lot
That lies near the railroad line.
An' mighty soon (if you picket therigh
' spot) ; V
You'll own a young gold mine.
So if you want to toe a land
Where things is moving quick, .
An like perhaps to take a hand -
For to turn a right good trick,
Just you pull your freight a-humming
In on the Shaniko stage
To the land where the railroad's coming
The land that's all the rage.
For Sale.
