SETTLERS WON.
Vu Important Decision Handed Down tw
Judge Bellinger Last Week.
In the United States circuit court
for the District of Oregon' Judge
Bellinger last Friday handed down
a written opinion in the case of the
United States against the Oregon
fe California Railroad Company.
The decision is in favor of the
United States, or more properly,
the settlers in whose interests the
suit was brought. It is the
most important case which has
been decided during the term of
United States District Attorney
Hall, and as he acted as attorney
for the United States and the
settlers, and won on every point,
he has reason for gratification.
The case involved the homes of
a large number of settlers on both
sides of the river in the Willamette
valley, who have been holding
their breath for fear they would
lose the result of the labor of a
life time.
When the Oregon & California
Railroad obtained its right of way
from Portland southward, it was
given a grant of 20 miles of land
on each side of the tract. Some of
this land had been taken up by
settlers already, and to offset this
a further strip of 10 miles outside
the grant was set aside by the
Government from which the i ail
road could select to the amount of
lands within its grant for which
patents had already been given by
the Government. These 10-mile
s!rips were unsurveyed, and settlers
went in and squatted, building
their homes in the mountains.
When the land was surveyed and
thrown .open for settlement about
15 years ago, the i ail road crowded
forward, applied for patents to the
lands on which the settlers had
squatted, and were granted them.
This looked as though the labors of
a life time were about to be swept
away, for some of the settlers had
gone in as early as 1863.
The suit was the result, and its
outcome is most satisfactory to the
settlers, of whom a large number
are involved, from Portland to the
southern part of the state.
The railroad may take an ap
peal to the Court of Appeals.

In the course of a life time there
are many ups and downs, and in
cidents, small feithiu themselves,
occur to change our entire life.
Some seventeen years ago one of
our fellow citizens, while en route
from the Fatherland to Corvallis,
being at this time a mere young
ster, was obliged to change cars at
Chicago and a necersary delay fol
lowed. In the course of the delay
a shrewd rascal, up to "Yankee
tricks," accosted the youth in
his native tongue, thereby manag
ing in short order' to work up an
acquaintance and inspire more or
less confidence. He took our friend
under his charge presumably to
guide him to restaurant for a meal,
but, although the fellow proved
good company, they did not seem
to come to any place where hunger
could be satisfied. Finally the con
fidence man, for such he proved to
be, told the German youth that he
would have to hurry back to the
depot in order not to miss his train.
As they had missed lunching to
gether he suggested that he put up
a lunch for our friend. This was a
capital idea and the proposition
was accepted. When the lunch
was to be paid for the price de
manded by the confidence man
was $7. It seemed an awful price,
but our friend was hungry, and be
sides, he had heard tales of Ameri
can liberality long before he de
parted his native soil, so the money
was paid. On opening the lunch
there was found to be one single
loaf of bread nothing more. All of
the balance of the way out to
Corvallis our friend pondered the
matter ajd concluded that there
surely must be money in the
At the Opera House, next Satur
day evening, scenes frcm the fam
ous "Passion Play," as presented

C. A. The Savior's life, from the
very moment the shepherds first
saw the star ot .Bethlehem and
heard the joyiul tidings of the birth
of Christ, until the sublime finale
when the Redeemer slowly ascended
to heaven, are shown by a series of
photographic tableaux. The scenes
of Christ's triumphal entry into
Jerusalem, the raising of Lczarus
from the dead, the last supper, the
trial and condemnation, the awful
journejr to Calvary, and finally the
crucifixion ot the Messiah, are all
given on the canvas. Ihe expres
sions on the face3 of the actors in
the great drama can be distinctly
seen, and everything in the picture,
the costumes, scenery, etc, are
strictly accurate. The originator of
the drama, irom which these views
were taken, had twice been himself
an actor in the play as given by the
Bavarian peasants, and after com
ing to this country spent $125,000
in securing costumes and scenery
and necessary parahernalia for the
production. The views are made"!
more interesting by the lecture
which is given at intervals during
the play.

RECENTLY advances have
taken place in all lines of
cotton goods. Before the advance
we stocked up with cords of do
mestics shirtings, sheetings,
ginghams, prints, and other cot
ton goods. We are now selling
these goods at just about what
other merchants have to pay for
them at present prices. You will
find this store a good place to sup
ply your needs in this line.
