REQON CITY COU !FTi JDK 28th YEAR. OREGON CITY. OREGON. FRIDAY. APRIL 28,1911. No. 51. 5 GREAT SUIT Empire Restored to Gov ernment Domain. SQUATTERS MUST LEAVE LAND Judge Wolverton Decides Against S. P. on Every Point. Judge Charles E Wolverton of the United States district court renders a sweeping decision in favor of the gov ernment. The Southern Pacific and th Oregon and California railway companies must forfeit to the United States government abont 2,400.000 acres of laud, whioh is vanled at from $40,000 to 175,000,000. After one of the most prolonged legal combats ever waged in ooni ti of the United States the onnrt rules that an empire in Orfgon cannot be botHed np by the railway interests. Taking the plHin words of the act of congress granting the land for railway con strnction aid, the oonrt holds that cougress intended this land should be sold to bona fide settlers in tracts not greater than 100 acres to one individ ual, and at a price not exceeding $3.50 an acre. Every argument rand con tention made by the railway company has been defeated in its light with the government While deciding in favor of the fed eral government, Judge Wolverton de oided against the several thousand interveners in the case. He holds that they have acquired no right whatever by either settling on the land or rendering the maximum sum per claim specified by law. The effect of this portion of the deoision is that the grant lands affected cannot be se cured by any individual until the president or congress again opens it to entry or sale The 87 eotrymeu who had gone upon the land as settlers be fore the suits of the government were commenced, also lose their claims, aud are held to have gained no advan tage whatever bv their period of set tlement. Something more than 5000 interveners have Hied applications to get a portion of the land, but their supposed rights are brushed aside, leaving the entire trart open to dis position by courgess, as if it had never bten offered to the railway in terests as a Riant.

Seventh and A18er Streets NOT MUCH DAMAGE - TO FRUIT CROP Recent Frosts Benefit to Many ' Kinds of Fruit. Dospite the unprecedented cold spell during the early part of April the frnit orop of the Willamette valley escaped with comparatively little damage. In fact, aside from peaches and early cherries there was no dam age at all . T ie prune trees, which are usually the first to feel the effects of cold weather, have escaped with bat little injury. Mr. Bohrt John son, the prnne king of the Willamette valley, has 1H0 acres of prunes nar Albany and he claims that the recent frosts were mure of a benefit than an injury Mr. Johnson has had many years' experience in the cultivation of prunes and he predicts that the time is dose at hand when the prune rais er will come back to his own, and that the cultivation of prunes will prove to be more remunerative than any other fruit orop produoed in the state. Fifteen or twentv years ago everyone in the Willamette valley went wild over prune raising, and in consequence a large number of people, without any knowledge of what they were doing, planted large tracts of land into prunes. As a result many of the fields have been grubbed up aud returned into general farming. At the present time the demand lor pruufs is increasing while the supply is growing less. There is as much soieiiceln the handling of a prune orchard as there is in promoting the apple. It has taken years to learn what to do. and as a result Mr. John sou predicts that prune growing will soon be the foremost fruit crop in the state. There is a growing demand for Italian prunes for shipment in refrigerator onrs to Eastern markets. Orders for several car loads have al ready been reoeived and there is no doubt but what the price wiI be sat isfactory to the prune growers throughout the valley. 0. C.

NO MORE FIGHTING PROBABLE Negotiations for Peace to Be Conducted at El Paso. The revolution in Mexico is praotio ally over. An armistic? has been agreed upon, and there is every reason to believe tiiat terms of peace will soon be agreed upon. An arimstice was argeed upon for five days, but there are assurances that if definite arrangements caunot be made in the allotted period the time will be ex tended. Negotiations for peace have extended just far .enough to put each side into possession of the outlines of the other's demands. General Madero has known and sacredly guarded, for two weeks in foramtiou as to what the government will grant. He teleragphed Meixco Oity the nature of his basio deamndg. Following this, a long telegram was received from tfie Mexican ..capital, but uo indication of its contents leak ed out A despatoh from El Paso says ne gotiations were resumed today. Yes terday's experience demonstrated that negotiations by .telegraph, with most of the lines in Mexioo out of com mission, are too slow and tedious, es pecially when .hundreds of words of code must be used, the least mistake in transaltiug which causes many hours of delay. For this reason both parties wish to appoint envoys with full power to act. The naming of the envoys, the selection of a meeting plaoe and traveling to it, it is thought, will re quire more than the four days remain ing for the trace, and heuoe the de termination to extend its duration if neoessary. A member of the mission desoribed the negotiations as being in a very delicate .stage, , where an undiplomatic slip might spoil every thing. El Paso, Texas. 'April 26. As it was in the "war," it seems to be "manana" in the peace negotiations between Madero and Diaz government. With nothing to do but wait, Madero is tilling .in .the time at his caVip a cross the line ' today, expecting in a languid way that commissioners to negotiate terms will soon be an nounced from Mexico Oity. So far there is nothing doing maybe tomor row. It is genreall; believed here that the representatives of Diaz and of Madero will meet when they do meet in El Paso. It is said by the Mailt nut torues hete and iu Jaurez that it may be two weeks Jbefore the peuoe palavers end aud an agreemeut is readied.

Every day it becomes more apparent that the construction of the Clacka mas Southern railway will prove to be a greater benefit to the business in terests of Oregon City and Claokamas county , than any other ever underta ken by our looal capitalists. The work of gradiug has been prao tioally completed for nearly a mile east of the oity and work is progress ing as faBt as men and teams can han dle the work. As sufficient money has already been subscribed to com plete the work to Beaver Oreea, there is no doubt but that cars will be run ning to that point before fall. The oitizens on the line of the proposed route beyond Beaver Creek are awake to the necessity of aiding the work of construction beyond that point and meetings will be held at a number ot places in the near future tor the pur pose of informing interested parties of what the building of the road to the Molalla country means to them. A market at the door of the producer is one of the objeots aimed at, and there is no donbt nut that the property owners on the line 'of the projected road will meet the enterprise half way. A meeting at the Grange hall at Moilno on Thursday night was of great interest, and well attended by local people interested in pushing the work along and by directors of the road who reside iu this oity, at whioh time an opportunity was afforded resi dents of that vioinity to render such aid as they ielt able to do.

THREE SUSPECTS IN CUSTODY They Are Identified as the. Pur chasers of Giant Powder. After months of investigation, direoted by William J. Burns, a pri vate deteotive, John J. M"Namara, international snoietary of the Bridge and Struontural Iron WorkerB of Aemrica, the headquarters of which are in .Indianapolis, was arested in Detroit Monady last, charged with complicity in the dynaimtiug of the . Los Angeles Times, Ootober 1, 1910, and the ;plaut of the Le. ellyn Iron works at Los Angeles. Four hours after McNamara w as .arrested detec tives found two quarts of nitroglycer in and seventeen sticks of dynamite in a barn thiee-quartera of a mile west of Indianapolis. The barn the, detec tives say, was rented by MoNamara from T. H. Jones, the owner. When interviewed, Detective Burns made the following statement : ' "When J. W. MoNamara readies Lob "Angeles this week, he will be identified aB the man who purchased dynamite from the Giant Powder Company and who JuHed tthe alias of J. B. Bryoe at the time. Aside from saying he fits the description of the man who purchased the dynamite, I am not now privileged to say what other facts we have on whioh to base our .conclusions, .but you may say I am .absolutely positive he will be recoguized as the purchaser of the dynamite. Two sticks placed under the Times buiidiug failed to epxlode. They were taken to the Giant Powder Company and identified aB pieces purchased by this man Bryoe." Burns said that with MoNamara when he .bought the dynamite were David Kaplan and M. A. Schmidt, for whom deteutives have been searching sinoe the disaster occurred. These two men, Burns said, were anarchists aud had no connection .with .the In ternational Association of Bridge & Structural Iron Workers. " We have learned that MoNamara, (J. W. ) was in the pay of J. J. Mo Namara, secretary of the Ironworkers, Association, during the time that he was in Los Angeles and we have also pi oof that MoManigal was in the pay ot the secretary, " continued Burns. "Did MoManigal have anything to do with the times blowup?" 'No, he is noi charged witb having a hand in that. He was the man who blew up the Lewellyn ironworks several weeks later. " ' Burns as MoManigal workod single handed. He had proof, he says, that MoManigal was in Los Angeles at the time of the ironworks explosion. He said he had traced his movements from the time MoManigal departed from the iMiddlB VVe"st. until .he landed in Los Angeles.' " ' "He will also be identified by per sons in Los Angeles who can furnish evidence that lie was the man who did the job," said Burns. "Have you evidence that MoMani gal was In touch with J. J. Mo Namara?" "We have, and we have father evi denoe that J. J. McNamara furunished the money necessary to pull oft both of the Los Angeles jobs, 'there is no doubt in the world that we have the right prisoners. " ' Labor leaders denounoe the arrest as outrageous and declare that the ac cused were not in Los Augeles at the time of the explosion. They have en gaged Clarence Darrow, the man who defended Moyer and Hayward, to defend the prisoners. When MoNamara arrived in Lob Angeles. Mr. D. H. Iugeisoll of San Francisco identified him as the man who boarded at her 'house under the name of J. B. Bryoe, and the same man who purchased the dynamite sticks of the Giant Powder Company.
