' Thl Jation has been raised since Federal Judge Wolverton rendered the J a session that the Southern Oregon i , Himjuny na bo more than S2.S9 an acre equity in the 96,000 acres left in - the Coos Bay wagon road grant, and the ' values In excess of that amount belong to the public, subject to dispo sition by congress. Three other wagon road land -grants : have been made in Oregon, comprising . an aggregate of 2.281,920 acres, and it has been charged by the government , that the covenants of none . of "ithe grants were kept. Attorneys Olve views. Attorneys who have given some consideration to the matter, however, express the opinion that the title to these acres has been definitely settled by suits for forfeiture brought in the late '80' by the government and won by the defendants. The three other grants were known as Ths Dalles military road grant, the Oregon Central military road grant, and the Willamette Valley and Cas cade Mountain wagon road , grant.' tch or tnese grants were made toH the state.' and' from the tat tn thl onmnonUQ wmk a iwaad rt 41 t desired wagon roads. The grant for The Dalles road was made by-eongress in 1867. and. the Oregon legislature the. next year srranted it to Th Dallas Military Road company, of rf which James K, Kelly was president and C. 1 N. Thornbury was secretary.' The land now remaining in the grant Is -owned by the Eastern Oregon Land . company. - - ' This grant was made for the pur pose or having a wagon road built y from -The Dalles, by way of Camp Watson, Canyon City and Mormon or Humboldt basin to a point - on the Snake river opposite Boise. Idaho. . - Terms of Grant Stated.' " -, The grant comprised about. 685,440 acres. - It provided that the: land could be sold only as the work on the road progressed. : When : 10 miles of road " was completed the company would be entitled to sell 30 sections of the land. If the road was not completed in five years the land remaining unsold was to revert to the government - In 1899 the government brought suit to have all three grants forfeited, on he ground that the -roads, had never been built, but that the companies had made false representations to the ef fect that the roads had been built, and the then governors had made false Cer tificates for the companies. Before these suits were brought the lands had changed hands - a time or two, and the government lost largely because the courts held that the- lands. were then in the - hands of innocent purchasers, who had relief on the cer tificate of the governor and the acts of congress for - their title and. had bought the lands In good faith, . In 1876 The Dalles Military Road company Bold the land to Edward llar - tin for $126,000, and he later sold the land to the Eastern Oregon Land com pany, a California corporation. - ' Alternate Sections included. The road that the company pretend ed to build was 357 - miles long, and was largely through non-timbered country in eastern Oregon? The grant Included alternate odd sections through a strip' three miles wide on each side of the road: Congress made the Oregon Central grant in 1864 to Induce the building of ," a road from Eugene to the southeast ern corner, of the state.: . In the same year the state- granted the lands. to the Oregon Central -Military Road com pany. This ' grant --comprised ... about 845,536 acres. In 1874 a group of Cal ifornia people contracted for the pur chase of the- land, and in 1877 they or ganised -the California & Oregon Land company and bought the . land lor AMUSEMENTS HLEILIG THEATKS Btoadway at Taylor Main 1.
