T. S. Minot Submits Evidence
Against S. 0. Co., To U.
S. Attorney.
ACTION NOT DETERMINED
Government Representative Refuses
To State What Course Will
Re Taken.
T. S. Minot, who roprosonts sev
eral scoro of applicants in suits pond
in b against the Southern Oregon
Land Company, has tho following
interview in the Portland Journal:
"Suits involving 93,000 acres
agalnBt the Southern Oregon Com
pany, of which Elijah Smith, his
brother, Prosper W. Smith, and
William W. Capro are tho principal
stockholders, will probably be the
next movo on tho part of tho United
States to enforce tho conditions im
posed in land grants in Oregon. Tho
Southern Oregon Company is the
presont ownor of tho land granted to
tho old Coos Bay Wagon Road Com
pany, which was granted a strip of
land between Roseburg and Coos
Bay, a distance of about 65 miles.
T. S. Minot, a lawyer of San
Francisco, is in Portland in the Inter
ests of a largo number of applicants
for tho land, and has prepared a bill
of complaint and information show
ing that his clients made legal ap
plication for tho land and asking that
tho courts compel the company to
sell. " Mr. Minot has submitted all
tho papers which contain tho evi
dence ho has gathered a"Inst the
company to Burdetto D. Townsend,
assistant United States attorney, who
was sent out from North Dakota sev
eral weeks ago as tho representative
of Attorney-General Bonaparte in all
Orogon land grant matters. In dis
cussing the situation today, Mr.
Minot said:
"This action is brought to compel
tho company to sell its lands at $2.50
an acre, which it has refused to do.
Tho land is valuable for grazing pur
poses and diversified farming. Its
timber resources are wonderful.
Somo of tho land will run 15,000,000
foot to tho quarter section.
"We have made application for tho
land and the names of 110 appli
cants appear in this complaint which
I have submitted to Mr. Townsend.
When wo visited tho offices of tho
company at Empire City, with more
than $100,000 to pay for tho land,
our applications woro turned down
by R. E. Shino, secretary of tho com
pany, who ordered us out of his
office. We showed our papers, of
fered $1,000 in payment for each sec
tion, ?400 for tho land and tho rest
for taxes which the company has
paid since it secured the grant. This
raado a legal tender and will bo good
ovidonce in tho courts.

tho company It was for tho purpose
of securing a wagon road. Somo of
the land was sold at first under the
obligations of tho grant at $2.50 an
acre. Later tho road was accepted,
although in many places no work
had been done and to this day there
is nothing but a trail to show that
such an enterprlso was ever con
templated, " 'I have been gathering the evi
dence which I havo submitted to
Mr. Townsend for the past two
months and believe that it is suffi
cient to compel the company to sell
its lands. Supreme court decisions
havo been niado In tho past which
uphold us in our contention. The
company has violated its privileges
according to tho provisions of the
grant, and now holds tho land at
$30 an ncre, making a total valua
tion of about $3,000,000.
" 'The grant was made to the
Coos Bay Wagon Road Company In
1870. Later it passed to the Oregon
Southern Improvement Company and
finally to the Southern Oregon Com
pany, of which Elijah Smith, Prosper
W. Smith and William W. Capro are
tho principal sotckholders.' "
"What action the federal govern
ment will take in tho matter could
not be learned today. Mr. Town
send refused to discuss the caseT'but
admitted he had received the evi
dence Mr. Minot had submitted."
