LAND IN FRIENDS' NAMES Late Cornelius Sullivan Said to Have Had Queer Habit Widow Sues. ALBAXT. Or.. July 8. (Special.") That the late Cornelius Sullivan, for many years superintendent of the Cor vallts & Eastern Railroad, and a well known man In railroad circles of this state, had a habit of holding his prop erty In the names of other people, is the basic allegation made in a suit filed here today by Sullivan's widow against Grift King. Mrs. Sullivan, who now resides In Portland. Is attempting to recover on behalf of herself and Cornelius H. Sullivan, the railroad man's only son, about $4000 worth of property which, it is alleged. King held as trustee for Sullivan. The complaint sets forth that Sulli van purchased several tracts of prop erty from lSoi to 1905 and took deeds in King's name. It is said Sullivan furnished the entire purchase price In each instance and collected all the rents and profits until his death, which occurred suddenly, from heart failure, in this city June 2. 1906. It was the understanding, the plaintiff aserts. that King was only the trustee for Sulli van, but since Sullivan's death' King contends he is owner of the land in his own right. Mrs. Sullivan has brought this suit in equity in an en deavor to set his title aside. The land which is now in King's name and which Mrs. Sullivan is suing to recover consist of a quarter block at Ninth and Madison streets, in Albany, and an unplatted half acre adjoining that corner; 197 acres of land in the northeastern part of the county, near Kingston, and four lots in the town of Kingston. There Is a stone quarry on the line of the Corvallls & Eastern Railroad, in Lincoln County, and a tract of land in Marion County which Mrs. Sullivan asserts that King holds as trustee for Sullivan, and suits simi lar to that filed here today will be in stituted in the courts of those two counties. Mrs. Sullivan expects to Introduce evidence at the hearing of this case to prove that it was the deceased railroad man's strange custom to hold his prop erty in the names of his friends. His railroad associates, attorneys and friends are expected to offer testimony to prove this allegation.

GRANTED T Commissioner West Questions Gift Now Held by Corvallis & Eastern Road. FLATS IN YAQUINA BAY Says Legislature Had So Power to Grant These Lands to "Willamette Valley & Coast Railroad and State Should Recover. SALEM, Or., July 8 (Special.) That the Legislature of the State of Oregon had no authority to grant to the Willam ette Valley & Coast Railroad Company the tide and marsh lands in Yaquina Bay. is the assertion of Railroad Com missioner Oswald West. Mr. West has made an investigation of the whole sub ject and believes that the state should recover possession of the Yaquina Bay tide lands to which the Corvallis & East ern row claims title through the original grantees. The land has never been surveyed, hence the exact area is unknown, but it it believed that about 10.000 acres of valu able land is in question. The railroad company has sold portions of the land granted to It. Mr. West has investigated both the facts and the law involved and has em bodied his information in a letter to the Governor. In this letter he says that the state held the lands as a trustee and had no power to convey them. He cites a decision In an Illinois case. Involving Lake Michigan shore lands, in support of his contention. In his letter he says: By an act approved October 24, 1874, the Legislature of the state granted to the Willamette Valley & Coast Railroad Com pany all the tide lands and marsli lands in Benton now Lincoln) county. Their claim is founded upon the first section of paid act. The other sections of the act were either repealed or amended by an act approved October 14. 1 S7S. and the company was thereby relieved of certajn restrictions and conditions imposed and the time for com pleting the road was extended The com pany apparently failed to comply with the terms of the amended act and the lands granted therefore reverted to the Btate, but by an act approved. February 5, 1SS.". the act of 1874 as amended by the act of 1S7S was re-enacted and amended. The time for the compJetion of the road was extended and the grant of tide lands in Benton county was confirmed by section 3 of said act. It does not appear that the said tide lands in Yaquina, Bay were ever surveyed by the state or railroad Company, as pro vided In the original act. or that the com pany or its assigns has ever in any manner averted title to these lands or paid taxes on them. The question Is. has the state parted with its title to those lands ? Did the Legislature have the sower to make such a grant? Believing that the state has been sleeping on her rights, I take the liberty of sub mitting this matter to you for your con sideration and such action as you may deem necessary for the best interests of the state. Yours very respectfully, OSWALD WEST. Crude Oil on Gervals Streets. GERVAIS. Or., July 8. (Special.)

Or., July S. (Special.) That Senator Bourne is not the most ardent of third-term boomers -is shown by a letter received today by Governor Chamberlain from Spencer C. Wychoff, of Brooklyn, N. Y. In his letter to the Governor, Mr. Wychoff says: "The present outlook, both at home and abroad, demands the re-election of Theodore Roosevelt. I have therefore made fervent prayer to the Almighty God that he will compel the Republi can Convention to reconvene, reconsid er its action and place the name of our honored President in nomination."
