because of the alleged failure of the
Oregon & California Railroad company
to sell the lands in tracts of 160 acrea
to settlers at 2.S0 per acre, as re
quired by the government grant, has

With, and on this fact the government
bases one of its main contentions for
forfeiture.
What the Bailroad Claims.
',.Th,? ralIroad company contends that
the land should not be forfeited for
the following reasons: That all rights
under the provisions of the grant re
stricting the manner of selling the
lands have been waived by the gov
ernment by acquiescence In violations
of the prescribed manner; that the
binding force of these provisions was
terminated by the issuance, of patents
by the government to the railroad
company; that the suit is barred by
the act of March 2, 1896, limiting the
time within which suit tnav h noi
tuted to cancel patents erroneously is
sued, and that the suit is barred by
laches or undue delay on the part of
the government In asserting its rights
The government's brief argues that
an act of congress is more than a
mere conveyance, but is a law as well,
and as such must be enforced as writ
ten. If possible.
rull Compliance With law.
"The law should pot be impaired or1
minimized in any wise by construc
tion,- says the brief. -All parts should
be given effect."
- This argument bears particularly on
the non-compliance with the provision
- which, had it been carried out, would
have placed the land In the hands of
actual settlers at $2.50 an acre.
It is argued that in .construing pub
lic land grants, such as the one under
consideration, all doubts must be le-
viveu u uvur or me grantor.
The government asks for the appli
cation of the rule, which it contends is
reasonable, that when the good of the
. public comes into conflict with the
good of the individual, the later must
yield.
. "An enforcement of the clear meaning
, of the statute is all we ask for," says
- .the brier, adding that the principle
applicable to private conveyances that
forfeitures are unfavored by law and
should be avoided wherever possible,
has no application.
VoUow. Common Sense Beading.
-Y Further insisting on the literal con
, atruction of the act which resulted in
; the railroad company's getting the
lands, the brief says that "the lan
guage of the act must be permitted
to control, unless the plain meaning
thereof leads to results so absurd as
v iuiuo mo conviction inai me gov
ernment could not have intended
them."
The contention of the brief is that
the railroad company has failed to
comply with the terms of the grant
throughout, and that therefore the act
.making the grant has been violated,
and the grant should be forfeited.
"It is urged that the action of the
government In prosecuting this suit la
inequitable." said the brief in conclu
: eion. "because of the delay which has
elapsed. But delay is not a defense
which can be raised against the gov
ernment in any court."

, It is contended that the government
has performed promptly, fairly and
fully every stipulation of Us contract,
while the railroad company has failed
to discharge the contractual obligations
assumed by it. '
"For more than 45 years." says the
brief, "the railroad company has used

' (WASHISGTOV BUREAU OT THE
. ; JOURNAL.)
Washington. April 19. The Royal
Milling company of Great Falls, Mont.,
In an interstate commerce commission
eomplaint against the Great Northern
and North Bank roads charges that the
2 cent milling in transit charge on
shipments to Portland la excessive. It
asks that the charge be made 1 cent
a hundred and seeks J3500 as repara
tion. ' I
The J cent milling in transit charge
complained of applies to the wheat
shipped Into Great Falls for grinding
and then reloaded as flour and sent
on through to Portland. W. D. Skin
ner, traffic manager of the North
Bank, i said this morning that this rate
has long prevailed, and so far as he
knew,; had not previously been
tacked.
On shipments originating la the In
land Umpire, the milling charge is
26 cents at Portland, and formerly
that was the rate elsewhere also. Ap
peal was made east of this section,
and It -was reduced' to cents, though
the higher rate still prevails here.
The extra charge is made on the
basis of extra use of cars, switching
to and from the mill and for otbr
services performed by the railroad In
addition to the straight haul.

Mrs. J. R. Dillow Drops
Through Car floor When
Trap Is Sprung.
Oregon City, Or.. April 19. A head
on collision between a passenger car
and a! heavy electric freight engine on
the Portland, Eugene & Eastern rail
road in West Linn, Sunday afternoon,
resulted in the passenger car being
demolished and Mrs. J. K. Dillow, the
only j passenger, narrowly escaped i
death! or serious injury.
That Mrs. Dillow had a miraculous 1
escape from death is asserted by those
who witnessed the accident. When
the car and engine struck, she was
standing in the middle of the car, over
the trap door in the floor. The crash
sprung this door and dropped Mrs.
Dillow to the roadbed, where the floor
and trucks of the car protected her.
She escaped with severe bruises. The
entire upper part of the passenger car
was damaged so badly that the- wreck
ing erew pulled it to one side and
burned it last evening.
J. R. Hickman was motorman of the
passenger car. He Jumped Just before
the v collision. He maintains he was
running on time.
Walter Luzadder, an engineer in
the West 14nn shops, was returning
trom uswego wild a lone engine. Res
idents of Bolton say he passed through
that place at needless speed. The col
lision occurred a short distance this
side of Bolton. The collision was ap
parently due to disregard of schedules.
Local officials assert an investiga
tion of the accident will be held this
afternoon.
AUTO SPEEDERS FINED
Mrs. David Campbell, widow of the
Portland fire chief who lost his life
four years ago in the Union Oil com
pany fire, was fined X10 in the munici

Marshfield, Or., April 19. The Icad

Baturaay night is still at large. Offi
cers believe he has left the country.
Four Austrians were arrested. ; One,
who gave the name of Joe Davis, it
was learned today, is Mat Matsch.
Officers say he gave the checks to
others to cash, promising them half
the money. The others arrested claim
they thought they were doing nothing
wrong. They are: Joe Seavicht. who
informed the police; Sam Lobar and
John Tonovltch.
The leader, who got away with the
money, is evidently an old hand, as
the checks were clever forgeries, both
ln printing and signing. The signature
forged was that of Hauser & Hauser,
railroad contractors. Officers here be
lieve that the gang is ' the one which
worked at Boise, Idaho. Those cash
ing the checks were leading merchants
in Marshfield and North Bend, giving
change when small purchases were
mad a
The checks used were printed outside
the city. The sum of $1060 was about
the amount realised. Joe Davis and
the man who escaped took the dupes
to their - room and explained how to
pass the chocks. They told the men
who were to pass the checks they
would be paid the next day.
The authorities believe the Intention
was for Davis and the leader to escape
in the meantime and double-cross their
hirelings.
Hauser & Hauser say the same
scheme was worked before by Aus
trians in Choteau county, Mont., and at
Boise.

Miss Minnie Steed of Janesvllle,
Wis., was given judgment by Circuit
Judge Kavanaugh Saturday against
Frank J. Cavanaugh, a Portland busi
ness man, for $400 on a note given in
1910. Cavanaugh denied the giving of
the note, saying the giver must have
been his brother.
A photograph of Cavanaugh was In
troduced and identified as that of the
man who gave the note, and that de
fense was not urged Saturday. Judge
Kavanaugh agreed to reopen the case
if Cavanaugh produced any evidence
touching upon the note in a deposi

Miss Steed said that Cavanaugh
gave her a diamond ring at the time
he borrowed the money from her,
which she understood was an engage
ment ring, but that later Cavanaugh
secured possession of the ring and
she has not seen It since.

Are monkeys endowed with human

; James O. Convill, superintendent of
parks and playgrounds, has always
contended that man came from mon
key, and that hence monkeys are Intel
ligent. but he says it was brought
home forcibly this morning.
Convill was on bis way to the city
hall when passing East Twelfth and
Stark streets he noticed a monkey run
ning up and down the sidewalk, climb
ing trees and jumping down again,
then trying to shaken hands with pe
destrians. Others had no difficulty in
getting close to the animal but when
Convill attempted to approach it, the
monkey ran chattering and screaming
as though badly frightened.
; Now Convill believes that the roon
key recognised him as the man in
charge of the park soo, and would
have nothing to do with him. What
tne monkey was doing at large is a
mystery to Convill.
