Prwent Condition of Cncertalnty
DocUred Responsible for Delay
of lumber Firms and Oth
ers in Improving.
ProsDectlve learlslatlon. Intended to
unravel a. legal tangle Involving title to
millions of dollars' worth of property
essential to the lumber Industry of Ore
gon haa been started and It has reached
a point where a bill will be Introduced
In Congress to carry the plan Into exe
cution.
Involved are over I.:2S.000 acres of
land now In the hands of Innocent pur
chasers which were a rart of the origi
nal land grant to the Oregon A Califor
nia Railroad. Suit by the Government
arajnst the railroad company for the
forfeiture of these lands Is now pend
ing In the Federal Court.
The bill in brief proposes that th
purchasers of these lands shall have
their titles confirmed upon the pay
ment to the Government of 12.50 an
acre, the price stipulated In the origi
nal grant at which the lands should be
sold.
Mark I.aad Transferred.
When the Government decided to bring
suit against the railroad company to
forfeit Its title to the lands Included In
the original grant, and aggregating
;. 300. 000 acres. It was found that cer
tain tracts had parsed out of the hands
of the railroad company and were he-Id
by 45 Innocent purchasers, corporations
and Individuals, whose title was gen
erally accepted aa valid.
After considerable hesitation the
Government entered suits of forfeiture
against these Innocent holders three
years ago. but the litigation made no
further progress. It Is estimated that
another seven years will be required
before a final decision In these cases
can be reached.
Included In the 45 Innocent purchaa
en are aome of the largest lumber man
ufacturing concerns In this state. With
these suits pending against them, they
are nattlrally loath to proceed with the
development of their holdings that they
otherwise would.
Reballdlag la Retarded.
An Illustration of this situation Is In
the case of the Booth-Kelly Lumber
Company, which recently lost one of
Its largest mills by tire. It desires to
build on even a larger acale. but hesi
tates on account of the suit by the Gov
ernment against It. Other companies
have similar conditions with which to
contend. A. C. Itxon. manager of the
Booth-Kelly Lumber Company. Is large
ly responsible for the attempted solu
tion of the confused situation.
A bill haa been prepared for Intro
duction at the preaent aesslon of Con
gress by the conditions of which Inno
cent purchasers will be permitted to
confess Judgment and subsequently pur
chase the lands they now hold, by the
payment to the Government of 11.50 an
a.-re. This would net the Government
shout 11.000.000. Consummation of
these transactions, however, would not
affect the Government suit of forfeiture
against the railroad .company as to the
other lands Included In the original
grant.
Officials Said Be Paverable.
Both Secretary Nagel. of tha Interior
nepartment. and Attorney - General
NVIckoTsham have had thla propoaed
plan of settlement brought to their at
tention and are said to have comment
ed upon it favorably. The plan Is also
aald to have met with the approval of
the members of the Oregon delegation
In Congress.
B. I. Townsend. special assistant to
tha Attorney-General, who is In charge
of the land-grant suit for the Govern
ment, in the trial of a case at Albany
last week announced that he was op
poaed to the suits by the Government
against the Innocent Individual pur
nh.ier, of land from the railroad com
pany, and Instituted them only under
the orders or Tracy v. uecaer. who-
at the time his superior officer.
The Importance to Oregon of the pro
posed settlement of these suits was
Illustrated last night by John A. Keat
ing, vice-president of the Lumhermens
National Bank, when he said that the
conveyance of title by the Government
to the lumber mill operators and other
Individuals who had Innocently Invest
ed In the timber lands they now hold,
and which are Involved In the land
grant suit, mean millions of dollars to
th state, from the fact that the lum
berman actually retalna only one dollar
out of every ten he receives for bis
manufactured products, the balance go
ing for supplies and wages.

troduced In Congress, follows:

LarKe Congregation Hears Sermon
la Chapel Campaign to Bo
Waged to Furnish Building.
Th church and achool Just finished
In Bt Peter's parish at Lents. In the
Mount Scott district, the youngest in
the diocese, was dedicated yesterday
by Archbishop Christie, assisted by Rev.
A. G. De Lorlmier. Rev. J. H. Gallagan
and Rev. Peter J. Beutgen. the latter
being the pastor in charge. A large
congregation was present. The chapel,
which Is on th top floor, waa taxed
to accommodate the people. Many
Portland vlaltors attended.
Rev. Father Gallagan of Columbia
fnlverslty. celebrated the mass. Rev.
Father Beutgen waa master of cere
monies. Excellent music was provided.
Archbishop Christie delivered the ded
icatory sermon. He congratulated th
people of St. Peter"a parish and the
priest in charge on what baa been ac
complished. .tt- .lrare. thla building first to
Christian education and second to the
worship of Almighty God." said Arcn
blshop Christie. "Tou have accom
plished much In this parish, but there
Is a great deal more to oe cone no re.
n....A.it mvA lineralltv are character-
latlcs of Catholics, and both will be
needed by Father Reutgen In carrying
forward this work which baa been
started here. This building Is for the
education of the little children along
Christian line.
-Thla la the right beginning. The
right spirit la displayed by the people
of this parish. Let me say. pay your
debts by direct contributions. Fairs
and basaars may help meet some of the
current expenses, but the old Irish and
German method of building churches
ani schools is the best- It la fash
ionable and popular to work in the
church. You should love and appre
ciate your church. It is part of th
great church that waa founded nearly
2000 years ago. It Is a divine Institu
tion and not man-made a few yeara old.
So be proud of your church."
At the close of the benediction by
the archbishop Father Beutgen Invited
the congregation to a luncheon pre
pared by the women of the parish In
the hall on the first floor.
The building haa three stories, and
th present cost la S7000. chapel Is
placed on the top floor and classrooms
are located on the second. On the first
floor Is th parish hall and It will be
used for social purposes. It remains
to furnish the building, and this will
now be undertaken. Space has been
left on the ground for a convent and
modern church, which will be built
later. The founding of the new parish
of 8t- Peter Is In accordance of Arch
bishop Christie's plan to establlah edu
cational and religious center In the
growing suburbs of the city. He be
lieves that a parish should first be
provided with a well equipped school.
With the dedication of SU Peter's there
are now ten of these church and achool
buildings completed and In uae, mostly
built within the last five yeara.

THEATRICAL ADYAXCE-MAX IS
PORTLAXD ENTHUSIAST. ,
Growth or CltT I Noted Helllg Is
Declared to Be One of Best
Houses In Country.
George H. Murray, advance man for
Montgomery and Stone, comedians, who
will furnish the Christmas entertain
ment at the Heillg Theater, Is in Port
land for the 25th time. The genial
Murray says he hopes he will be able
to make 25 more visits, and is already
looking forward to at least two more
trips to what he calls "the best town
on the Coast."
"I have visited Portland 25 times
since I have been in the theatrical
business." said Mr. Murray at the Hei
llg last night, "and every time I come
here I have to marvel at tho progress
and development shown In all lines.
Portland is the best city I have visit
ed on the Coast-
"It is a marvel to me, for when I
first visited Portland it was a village.
That waa in 1S86. when I was ahead of
the first "Devil's Auction" company to
come to the Pacific Coast. The growth
of this entire Western country is mar
velous, and right here I want to pre
dict that this section haa seen the last
of No 2 theatrical companies, for the
Coast haa been thoroughly educated
and will stand for nothing but the
real thing 'in the future. I also want
. enmnllment Portland on this thea
ter. the Heillg, for this house possesses
more originality than any theater built
in America in the last 10 years. I
have seen all of the new theaters, and
the Heillg beau them all."
As oon as his tour with Montgom
ery and Stone, who are on their first
visit to Portland, Is concluded. Mr.
Murray will take to the road ahead
of Elsie Janls. who 'will be in Port
land soon. After that tour he expects
to visit the Coast as advance man for
"The Friars' Frolic." This attraction,
