There is much talk on the
street yet about the O. & C. land
grant, and the effort of settlers to
buy quarters of it, although much
of the activity in taking claims has
passed, into history Some think
it will be clear sailing for the
claimants after the matter once gets
into the courtsr .but others shake
their heads and say with a know
ing look that seems to say, "it's all
right, but when you buck up
against a railroad company when it
comes to law you have a slim
show." It is believed that a large
per cent of the legal lights are in
clined to the view that the claim
ants have a good fighting show to
win out. It is regarded as certain
that if the claimants once get them
selves into the courts, the whole
gamut of litigation, step by step
will have, to be run before the
struggle ends and every technical
ity known to the law will be invok
ed by both sides. It is said that
every quarter of the land in Benton
county that Is worth the trouble,
has a claimant.

land real estate, and the fact is in

did. A real estate firm advertised
that a deed to a Portland lot would
be dropped along with a lot of
blank deeds from a balloon, to be
sent up at a certain hour on a cer
tain day. Lots of people watched
the performance, and when they
fell, grabbed for deeds. Moore
was among them, and turned out
to be the lucky man. He was of
fered $200 for his lot the day it
dropped from the heavens. He is
the son of Mr. Moure that used to
be in the Pioneer Bakery, and who
was at one time cber at Cauthorn
