"What effect will the' decision in the
Cooe Bay wagon road land, grant case
. have on the other wagon road land
, , grants - that have been made ln this
State? r - . :'i;..i, -',:. -,.
' 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

-
LAW IS EASILY DODGED
Faroes Wlsning ' to ' Secure ' Deadly
, Weapons Only Weed Go to ;
" Washington for Them.
Contending that the effects of Ore
gon laws restricting the sale of re
volvers is neutralized by the', unre
stricted sale of the dangerous weapons
in Vancouver, "Washu, John H. Steven
son, municipal Judge, is advocating, the
adoption of an ordinance in Vancouver
which will prevent the sale of revol
vers in that town. . . .;,' -'. t - ..
J udge Stevenson discussed the mat
ter with Judge El well of Vancouver,
yesterday; and , his suggestion for a
city : ordinance there met with Judge
Elwell's indorsement.:. He. also, of
fered to make a " personal plea before
the, Vancouver city council f or . the
adoption of ; Such an ordinance.
' Judge Stevenson suggests that 4he
town across the Columbia river adopt
an ordinance' prohibiting the sale of
deadly weapons except to those who
secure a permit from V some, one In
authority.' Other features of the orfli-
nance would-be similar to the Port
iana - measure wnerem tne signatures
of two. responsible business men would
have to be attached to the application
for a permit. . ,
It Is contended by the judge that
Oregon's : laws are of little value ' as
long as irresponsible persons can jump
on a car and go to Vancouver, pur
chase a gun - and return with it to
Portland. . He points to the - Tronson
murder as an example of how the guns
axe obtainable in Vancouver. I
City Attorney La Roche is also in
terested in the plan to have Vancouver
