The society, under the able management of Prof. Louis Dorais, has done a fair amount of literary work this winter ; perhaps disclosed to our young people the possibility of "finding pleasure in the" cultivation of other arts than terpsichore. There is a good prospect of a telephone line from The Dalles to this town, via. Dofur, Kingsley and Tygh valley, in the very near future.

Wagon-Koad I. and Casea Decided by . , United States Supreme Court. - Oregonian. ' ; "A dispatch was received from Wash ington, D. C, last night which reads as follows : - . . 1 Washington; March 5. The supreme court today decided against the,. United States in its suit against the California & Oregon Land Company, to set aside and declare void the title of the land company to tracts in Oregon, purchased by the company from'persons acquiring title from grantees under what are known as the wagon-road- land grants, under acts of congress ,'and'jhe decision' of the lower court is affirmed. ' . Upon' this dispatch being shown to Colonel ' R. W.'Mitchell,' in the absence of C. E. S. Wood, the attorney for the Willamette Valley & Cascade (Mountain Military Wagon Road Company, of which Colonel Mitchell is the agent and Colonel Wood the attorney,' the latter of whom fought the case through the lower court, the former said : "While the dispatch has evidently been "bulled," it conveys enough infor mation to warrant the assertion that in the several cases brought by the United States against the wagon road compa nies, including the Willamette Valley and Cascade Mountain Military Wagon Itoad .Company, The Dalles Military Wagon Road Company and the Oregon Wagon Eoad Company, have been de cided against the United States, and thus will be brought to an end a long and vexations series of litigation, look ing to tle forfeiture of the several land grants of the different wagon road com panies. -The decision covers nearly 5,- 000,000 acres of rich and fertile lands in the state of Oregon, and affects the in terests of several thousand people. When the cases were presented before Judge Gilbert, of the United States cir cuit court, an array of legal talent was employed equal to any of the most im portant cases ever tried in the state of Oregon The government was repre sented by F. P. Mays and Judge Tanner, under what is known as the Dolph bill. and the companies were : represented by Colonel C. E. S. Wood, by Judge Mallory, of the firm of Dolph, Bellinger, Mallory & Simon, of this .city,- and by Judge Stanley, of San Francisco. Prob ably no case between corporations and the government ever tried in the state of Oregon employed greater legal talent. The pleas presented by Colonel Wood, together with the testimony of over 800 witnesses, enlarged the volume of legal technicalities and "evidence far beyond any case of like magnitude since the creation of the new court in which Judge Gilbert sits. While the lawyers gave their undivided attention to legal points in the several cases, the details of the testimony and the securing of testi mony was largely left "to me. The dis patch from Washington fails to disclose the specific basis of the decision handed down by the supreme court of the United States, but it is sufficient to .- say that a great feeling of relief, not only for the companies interested, but lor tne settlers along the line of the various grants- will follow." ; .
