This is the nrwt time in railroad his
tory that the demands of a labor organi
zation have been considered by all rati-
roads in a large territory, When the
John demand was first made, the rail
roads refused to treat' with the engineers
as a whole, preferring to deal with them
on each road. 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.
There are many details of the new wage
schedule to arrange and the negotiations
will last until next week.

ICmikloyer and lniloypfJ Confer At
Mrs. rotter Palmer's.
CHICAGO. 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.
"I am sure." he said, "with the enor

Mr. Stone was the next speaker' and
ho spoke as follows:

Now for the historic facts, to show
that no title In the Oregon fc California

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

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. This 1 it Jm they have put
forth with much vigor, and the legal
talent voicing it has been so impos-
lnfir -that it has been generally accept-

FIRST AND TAYLOR
ed. 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.

They Cure
Constipation
IF. you think constipation is of
trifling consequence, just ask
your doctor. He will disabuse
you of that notion in short
order. "Correct it, at once!"
he will say. Then ask him
about Ayer's Pills. A mild
liver pill, all vegetable. Dose:
one pill at bedtime.
