Land Grants May Be In
Courts for Many Years
Further litigation that may keep
both the Coos Bay and Oregon & Cali
fornia rrant lands in tha courto for
rear is threatened aa a result of tba
decree banded down In tba United
Bute court at Portland by Judge
Wolrerton In tba caae of tha govern
ment against tha Southern Oregon
comnanv. :.
The court held, in thi decree, that
tba grantee of the land ara entitled
to a value of $2.50 an acre and no
mora. Attorney for tha defendant
cava notice of appeal. A aimilar de
cree, with (ubatantlally tha tame pro
vision, ha been prepared by Constan
tino J. Smyth, special assistant to tba
attorney general of tba United State,
In the Oregon ft California caae, wnicn
deer will ba submitted to Judge
Wolverton.
Attorneys for the Southern Paclflc
company, who contend that they, a
present holder of the Oregon ft Cali
fornia land, own tha timber, coal,
minerals and other natural resource,
well aa their value of $2.60 an
acre, will contest thia view of tha
caae," - ;v':s-
If tha court accepts tha contention
of the United State attorney, aa it
did In tha Southern Oregon caae, it la
probable that the Southern Pacific at
torney will prepare an appeal.
Both these appeala muat go to tna
United States Circuit court of Ap
peals, from which it will be possible
to appeal to tba United States Su
preme court. Thus it is possible that
tha lands will be held in litigation for
a long period.
The decree signed ty Judge wolver
ton enjoin tha Southern Oregon com
pany from selling any of tha timber on
the Coo Bay wagon road lands, "or
any minerals or other deposits thereon,
except aa part of or in conjunction
with the land on which the limner
standi or in which tha mineral or other
deposits ara found, and from cutting
or removal of any of tha timber there
on, or from removing or authorising
tha removal of mineral or other depos
its therein, excepting In conjunction
with the sale of the land bearing the
timber or containing tha mineral."
Tha defendant ara further enjoined
from the sale of tha land and ita re
sources until congress shall have had
'reasonable opportunity", to make
proviaioa for its disposition by legisla
tion. .

waa in tha nature of a reduction.
No one ia able ret to figure out what

reeult of tba operation at Chicago waa
a decline of f cent, and it would occa
sion no surprise if tba Eastern mar
ket would continue to eag for tavaral
day, or at least until tha aituation
clear. The influence of tha Canadian
government' action. It la expected,
will soon be felt in the freight market
on tba Atlantie aide, and that should
furniah a cue as to tha probable course
of wheat value. In tha meantime,
the trade here aeem disposed to stand
by and await deveiopmenta.
No trading it reported at country
points. At the exchange in Portland
there waa a sale or euuu mianei oi ue
