The government today lost tlis suit In the Siipromu Joint to forfeit unsold portions of tlio Oregon and California railroad land grant am minting to L300,0u0 ueres valued nt moro thnn $110, 000,000. Tlio rail way company was enjoined, how ever from futuro sales In violation of tho condition) or tlio grant until congress hay a reasonable tlniu to net. Solicitor acncrnl Dnvls nskod tlio court o reconsider nnd restore tlio case to tho docket for ru-nrgtimout. Tlio application wus taken under consideration. HI ait I'd in I diih ,' The suit was lustltutord In ac cordance with a resolution of Con gress In the federal district court ol Oregon, on September I, 11108. Tlio government claimed that tlio rail road had forfeited Its rights by hav ing violated n provision which re quired It to sell in not moro than 100-acro traetH for not moro than I2.no an ncro, nnd only to actual set tlers. Tho govornm'ont sought to provo that tho company had sold In largo tracts to timber eomp.iulcB nt more than $2:50 an ucre, and had adopted u policy to sell no more to any purchaser for tho tlmo lielng. Tlio railroad contended tunc tho provision was not effective, because tho lands were unfit for settlement, and furthermore, urged that the government bo stopped from raising tlio question of forfeiture because of ln.ig neitilesceuco In tho com imny's disregard of tho soiling pro vision. Tried lo Force Sales About UTi porsous who went upo'i the lauds and claimed to bo actual settlers, within tho meaning of the law, brought n cross complaint, nsk hig that tho railroad company bo held to bo a triiBtoo for actual set tlers a.ul required to sell to thorn. Some 0,000 porsous who hao not gone upon tho laud to make settle ments but who have applied to (lie railroad company to pun-huso liio ocrei Intervened with u petition that the company bo required, ns a trus tee, to convey Intuits to them. Stato Intervenes Tho Stato of Oregon Intervened with tho claim that tho stato lovled nearly half a million dollars taxes a ymr on tlio lands and asked that the lauds not bo forfeited to tho Government, In which case, tho taxes might bo lost, but that tho rallor.id jo required to soil them for ho bene fit of tho government. The I'nlon Triibt company of Now York, trustee under it mortgage giv en the lnml to secure $20,000,000 of bonds used in building tho railroad also intervened. Tho district eourt declared tho Ian Is forfeited, and tho ease was taken to tho Supremo Court of Ap peal. It wus argued Into In April. Kfl'oets Many Locally Tho Oregon nnd California rail road Is now u port of tho Southern 1'aclfic System. Many local pooplo, numbering soveral hundred at least, are of fcetcj by tho decision, for sovoral years past applications havo been mado to purchaso tho land for $2.50 an aero by many dlfforent ponons. They alleged to bo settlors who wajted to buy tho laud under the conditions nan.ocl. In such cases tho $too for the land would bo ten dered and rofused and this would be recorded nnd It wns oxpoctel that If thero would later bo a doclslon a&alut tho railroads thoso porsous could buy for $100. Claims Vulunlilo In many cases tho 100 ncres ap plied for was worth perhaps a goou many thousand dollars on account of the timber. , 41 . , , Others homestoadod on the lam and somo went to tho expense ami ork of building cabins and making Improvements.
