Chief Stone was firm, how ever, in his 'refusal to confer with the railroads except a a whole. The rail roads finally at; reed to appoint a com mittee to meet the board represented by Mr. Stone, mul the settlement would imli- i-iite. that a new 'method of dealing" with Iiibor delegations had been adopted.

Jan. 12. Mrs. Potter Pal- mr" mansion at 10 Lake Shore Irive was the scene tonight of a unique confer- enre. Some time a so the National Civic Federation conceived the idea of holding a meeting in Ohicugo. with the object of explaining to employes and employers the aims of the organization and Its efforts to iilneo the two classes of industrial de velopment on & l oiiimoii plane of thought iinil action. Mrs, Palmer became interested and of fered her residence as a conference hall. Over 5M Kuedts and delegates attended the meeting. The gathering" which -was presided over hy Franklin MacVeagh, was attended, by prominent business men and labor leaders foni many 'parts of the 'country. The speaker were August Belmont and Seth Uv, ot-Kew York; W. S. Stone, grand m;ster o( the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers, anfl VV. I. Malion. presi dent of the Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes. Mr. Belmont took for hia subject "The Vationai Oivic FVneratlon.' while ilr l-o-,v Sjjoke on "The Conciliation Depart int'Ilt." At tlie conclusion' of Mr. Lowe's acU dress. August Belmont. president of tlio itrsaiilaatlon. sugKested that an active t-o-opcration be started In CliiciiCo.

This will en- :thle ns to do away with that last re- surt of the labor organizations the strike." agrainst mining, - against lumbering and agrainst development of conUs-uous lands. They constitute a blight on the progress of the state. . Now for the historic facts, to show that no title In the Oregon fc California lands was vested prior to tlie act or April 10. 1869. which limited price to $2.50. purchasers to "actual settlers" " and pur Chases to 260 acres. The act making tlie grant became a law July 25. 1S66. - Its numerous provision required that -the . LeKinlature should designate a company to receive the (jrant; that that company should accept the terms of the act within one year, and that at least 2o miles of road should he Mlt within two years and 20 miles aflfll- "this act shall bo null and void and all the lands not conveyed by patent to said company at tlie date ot any Such failure shall revert to the United States." Twenty .Miles or Road Is'ot Built. In pursuance of this act the Oregron Central Railroad, headed by Joseph das ton, was Incorporated under the laws of Oregon October 6. 1S66, and was desig nated as the recipient of the grant ty the State legislature October 10( four days later. It accepted the terms of the land gran t act wi thl n, the year required, but did not build the 20 miles required within tlie two mi. Accordingly on June 25. 1868. one month before the two years elapsed, ConKr.SB passed an act( at the instance of H. W. Corbett. then Senator extending the tlmft for the first 3( miles 38 months from that date, or until December 25, 1869. But the company did not build 20 miles within this extended limit, owing to the CenernI James A. Drain, Ex-Adju- tunt-Oeneral uf VtaHbington State, Who lias Been Elected President of 4 lie National Jtlfle Association. While Decorates King: Victor. lit AJ -;, Jan. 12. Kins' Vit'tor Km- pmiUK'l today received In private audi ent' the American Ambassador, Mr. White, who invested His Majesty with the academic hood of the University of Pennsylvania and placed with, the King hia diploma as doctor of laws. Mr. "White also save His Majesty the medal, bestowed on him by the Lou isiana Purchase Exposition In recogni tion of the King's services In promot- inar the Italian exhibit at St. Louis. His MHjfsty said he appreciated the honor conferred on him by the University of Pennsylvania, and greatly admired the medal sent him from St. Louis. t Air. anil Mrs. White were the suests competition of a rival company, which built 20 miles by that time southward from East Portland and secured the grant. The defeated company had been building1 south from Portland on the "West Side, its outlet from Portland being on Fourth street. This successful company was financed by Ken Holladay. It was not a-- lawful company, and Us successor, the Oregon & California, gained no rights from it, r. though it pretended at the time to be doing so. On March 17, "38TV, the Oregon & Cali fornia incorporated and immediately filed acceptance of the terms of the land grant act. It did this under an amendment to the original "act of 1866, approved April 10, 1869, extending- the time for so doing one year from the passage of the amend ment. This amendment is the same act as that imposing the limitations as to $2.50. actual settlers and 360 acres. io rights were vested in Holladay'a prior company before that time. Had not the act of April 0. 1869. passed Con gress, the Oregron & California, could not liave laid claim to the grant, be cause the time for accepting the terms of the grant- had expired July 25. 1SS7. one. year after the passage of the grrant act. That the Oregon & California re ceived no rights nor titles from its pre decessors is made evident from the one fact, if from no others, that the pre ceding company was declared by the Supreme Court of Oregon in 1879 to have "no power to legally transact any busi ness nor to accept nor hold the lands so granted." (Holladay vs. Elliott, Vol. 8, Oregon Reports, p. 91. The Oregon fc California's predecessors laid claim to the name Oregon Central Ptailload Company, the name of Gaston's -company. It was incorporated April 23, 1S67, at Salem, six months after the Gas ton company had taken that name and been designated as tlie recipient of the grant by the Legislature. The Salem company took the name Oregon Central, because. wanting the grant. It wag head ed by Salem men. who nought to build on the East Side of the Willamette, while the original company was building on the West Side. Neither company made much progress in building. Ben Ilolladay's Company Enters, But in September, 1S68. Ben Holla day became backer of the East Side company, and at once took the lead. By means of various influences, he succeeded in bavin ar the legislature rescind its resolution of two. years be fore,, designating the, original Oregon Central as the recipient of the grant. This was accomplished October; 20. 1808, and at the same time the Legis lature designated Holladay'a East Sidex company as - the recipient. " Mo then he.d passed In Congress the amendatory act of April 10, 1869, allowing Ms com- pany to file acceptance of the original act. within one year. U is East Side company built the 20 miles within the time limit. December. 25. 1SG9. This the West Side company did not do. and consequently forfeited its right to the grant. Holladay soon afterward, on March 17. 1870. Incorporated the Ore son & California, which filed accept ance before expiration ol the 'time limit for so doing, April 10, 1870. It thus appears that the claim .of the attorneys oT the Southern Pacific that title In tlie granted lands dates back of the act of April 10, 18S9. will not " hold.

The contrary fact has Important bearing on. the, present condition ol af fairs. For If it shall be established by the courts it means that the South ern Pacific cannot get away from the $2.50 price, and the actual settler and 160-acre limitations. Gaston's Oregron Central Company continued its corporate existence, and In 1870 became beneficiary of a new l:inl grant, between Portland and Me Minnville, amounting to some 500,000 acres. In this grant tha same lim!ta- tlons were Included. so that it ' does not present tbe leral technicalities cf the Oregon & California frank Southern Pacific's New Contention. But the Southern Pacific attorney now. come forward with another coa- tention. They say that the price Mid other limitations are mere incidents to the grant and that title to the lands did not depend on them, and does not now. They cite a decision, by the late Judge C. B. Bellinger, ot the Federal IMstrict Court, In the case of Nichols versus the Southern Oregron Company February 21, 1905, holding that Nichols could not compel that company to sell him for an acre. lanl In -the Coos Bay wagon-road grant of 1869. In that grant the same limitations were Included as in the railroad grant of that year, whereby the Oregon & California obtained its railroad lands. The Southern Oregon Company was assignee of the vagon road company.- and Nichols held that It was bound to observe, the price limitation of the grant. Bellinger de cided against him, on the ground that the United. States, and not he. was the only authority entitled to object to tbe non performance of the conditions in tlie grant and -that, besides, ' Nichols was beurred by long: lapse of time,- from de manding compliance with (he conditions. There U an essential .difference, how ever, -between -the two sranta. Tbstt to -the wagon road company was made through the State of Oregon, which assigned .the lands to the company, while those to the Oregon &. California and the Oregon Central were made by the United States direct to the railroad companies. In the case of the wagon road company, although the state niuy have assumed a trust from tho United States to dispose of the lands in tracts no larger than 160 acres each, it disposed of them to the company in bulK. Congress subsequently authorized,1 issuance of ' patents under these conditions, thus ' validating the breach of trust. But in the axtuisltion. of the lands by the two railroad com panies, the state . was not a party and therefore it might reasonably be held- that the J2.50 price has ceased to apply in the case of the railroad lands. Nichols did not appeal. . The Southern Pacific has sold a great deal of land for more than $2.50 an acre, thereby violating the terms of the grant. Such violations might work . forfeiture of the remaining' lands of the company were it not for the fact that there is a bar to forfeiture of patents issued to rail road or wagon road grant lands after six years. Those lands patented to the South- crn Pacific in the last six years might he regained by tlie United States; however! probably not in the case of bona firle purchases from the company. And in case of bona fide purchases, the pur chasers might recover from the company the money collected for the land from them in excess of $2.50 an acre. This question is a live one for the peopla of Oregon and it will doubtless re ceive growing attenion as time goes on. AT THE HOTELS. - The Poi-tlMxcl M. Beggarly, - Vancouver; P. II.
