The United States, through mil- j Itary channels, flled a quit-claim deed 1 today from Bishop Edward J. O'Day. oi tne diocese oi .Mgquauy, to me United Staes. conveying an undcscrlbed quantity of land In the military rcser vatlon of Vancouver Barracks. The consideration named In the deed is 325,000, which the government pays, pursuant to a special act of Congress. The controversy over this land com menced with tho passage of the dona tion land law by the Unltod States, giving settlers 640 acres of land. The right of donation claims was later extended to the churches In Oregon Territory having missionary stations among the Indians for the same amount of land, providing1 that, on tfa particular day that the act was passed the mission was in actual possession of the 640 acros sought to be patented for missionary purposes. The church au thorities knew nothing- of tho passaro of this donation land law until a"?yit three months afterward, at which time the church sought to hold 640 acres, as It is claimed, for missionary purposes among the Indians at Van couver. About the same tlma Esther Short made a selectiSn of 640 acrs of land, commencing with and tains: in what is now Main street, of Vancouver, Wash., the boundary lines of which run In a different direction from that of the Government defining a military res ervation, so that a tract of land wedge shape lay between tha two that was not claimed, by the Government. The church authorities. In making their se lection, endeavored to take In this par ticular tract of land not claimed by the Government: but It claimed boun daries so that it conflicted with both. In tho meantime the City or Vancou ver, which was organized on purpose. It Is ' said, to select thii same tract under the townslte law, filed Its claim. Through these divers claims the mat ter grew io complex that In 1S62 the matter was referred to Adjutant-General Bates, of Lincoln's Cabinet, who decided It war a matter for the courts to decide. Then proceeded a long and tedious litigation, which was finally referred back to the Department of the Interior as a matter for decMon by the Commlnsloner of the Land Office. The Land Department at Washington than directed the Surveyor-General of Washington Territory to determine how much land the mission at Vancou ver was actually In possession of on the date of passage of tho donation land claim. Thin Investigation resulted In a report that the mission was In possession of only one-half acre. Ap peal from this report again brought the matter In the courts, which finally de cided that the mlslson was not in ac tual possession of any land. ..whatever at the tlm of the passage of the do nation land law. It was after this decision that the church authorities endeavored to se cure Indemnity for tho expense and damage occasioned tho church by the controversy, which was finally settled bv a special act of Congress appropri ating $25,000. which was paid to the church, and the Government received a quitclaim deed to the land formerly in dispute.
