LINN CASE IS CRUCIAL GRANT LAX D DISPUTE AFFECTS WIDE TERRITORY. Williams George Would Force Lum ber Firm to Buy Property, but Defendant Question Title. ALBANY, Or, Dec. . (Special.) The. case of Williams George vs. the Curtlss Lumber Company. In which tha question of the validity of the titles of that part of the Oregon California land grant not actually attacked In the Government suits ha been raised for the first time, hss been set for trial In the State Circuit Court her next week.

Aa the decision in this case will be of .widespread effect, this trial proba bly will attract considerable attention. Prominent attorneys from San Fran cisco and Portland will be here to take part In the trial. B. D. Townsend. special prosecutor for the Government In the big suits for the forfeiture of the grant, has been summoned as a witness for ths defend ant In this case. A subpena was served on Mr. Townsend in Portland yester day. He has raised the question of whether he can be forced to testify in this case because of his official posi tion In a similar case, and It is not known yet whether he will contest the effort to secure bis testimony or appear and testify. In this case George, who lives In San Francisco. Is seeking to compel the Cur tlss Lumber Company to carry out a contract to buy 140 acres of Linn County timber land. The company re fused to take the land it had agreed to buy. claiming tha title was not good be cause it was a part of the Oregon California land grant. George asserts the title Is good because of assurances of Government officials that the owners of that part of this grant which wss sold in tracta of 1000 acrea or less will never be disturbed. The defendant al leges this assurance la not binding on the Government, and that If the Gov ernment wins Its oase for forfeiture of the big tracts tha small tracts will be subject to forfeiture, too. and that the titles of the small owners as well as tbe large will be unmarketable. The defendant set up In Its answer a letter from Townsend In which he admits that the assurancea of Govern ment metals in this matter are not binding, and It is on this point that the Curtlss company wishes to secure his testimony. If the contention of the defendant In this case Is upheld and Judge Wolver ton's decision in the Government cases tried at Portland Is sustained In the higher Federal Courts, all of the land In tl'.e entire grant will be subject to forfeiture to the Government. Among the land, the title to which is not dl dectly attacked in the Government case, but which would come under the same ruling If the defendant's contentions in this case are upheld, la almost half of the town of Mill City.

The supervisors adopted a resolution that they meet once a year with the County Court and others Interested In highway work to exchange views and reach better understanding as to what should be done. After Judge Beatle explained that the general road fund had been overtaxed by repeated demands from various dis tricts and that retrenchment waa neces sary.
