IMPORTANT LAND EUHHG.
We have just received from Hon.
W. T. Burner, receiver of the Or
egon City land office, the follow
ing decision regarding the dis
puted lands in this county, lying
in the quadrant near Forest Grove.
This decision is an important one,
and should be carefully read. The
throwing open of these lands to
public entry will be of great value
to "Washington ceunty:
Oregon Citv, Or., April 10, '87.
Editor Independent: By.your
permission, I desire to state
through the columns of your paper,
what we understand to bo the
status of the land claimed by the
O. & C, successors of the O. C. R.
R. Compaq, contained in the odd
numbered sections of about 13
townships lying northwest of Cor
nelius (and known as the quad
rant), under the late ruling of the
honorable secretary of the interior,
in the case of Scott vs. Kansas Pa
cific R. R. Co.
"Without reciting details, the
Hon. commissioner held In that
case that the rule heretofore
adopted and adhered to since
1850, for adjusting railroad grants
of public lands, should be abro
gated, and ono'substituted whereby
the railroad companies would get
an amount of land equal in area
to the aggregate of ten sections
Supposing such a grant) on both
sides of a "direct lino .drawn con
necting its terminal" points.
Without undertaking to state
more explictly the Hon. commis
sioner's position, or the old rule of
adjusting grants (which is more
intricate), at all, we call attention
"to tho -fact that the line of the
O. C. from Portland runs nearly
due west to Cornelius, and then
turns nearly duo south to McMinn
ville. By making this elbow the
company would get a very much
larger tract of land considering
also the O. & 0. grant, and exclud
ing that contained In the quad
rant referred to than they would
if they had Tun their line direct
from Portland to McMinnville
they now claiming the land by
reason of the completion of that
branch.
Referring to the obligation of a
railroad to run as near as prautica
ble direct from one terminal po'tr
to the other, the Hon. secretary nY
said decision says:
"It has been urged herein that
a railroad should not be allowed to
diverge unnecessarily from a direct
route, and thereby increase its
grant. While this is undoubtedly
true, the question whether the
Kansas Pacific, or any other land
grant railroad," has departed un
necessarily from a direct route, is
not presented in this case. I there
fore express no further opinion on
that point."
It was reported in the dispatch
es, upon the delivery of said de
cision, that Senator Dolph was of
the opinion that, as the Hon. com
missioner's rule of adjusting grants
generally was therein rejected, the
company would get this land", -and
thereupon -a-very large number of
letters . came to this office asking
information as to the possibility jof
their losing their claims.
After stating the facts as . we
knew them on March 22, we said
to a correspendent: Under the
circumstances, I think it would be
precautionary for jour husband to
enter into a contract with the rail
road company for the purchase of
the tract in the event of the rail
road company securing the title.
He would then have a claim to
the tract, both under the govern
ment and the railroad company.
After reading tho decision named
and considering the matter, if .the
railroad company is so disposed, I
think settlers would do well to
take a "bond of fate," as it were,
and secure a contract ot purchase
for the land covered by their
claims, from the company. But,
with all due deference to the opin
ion of that very able attorney, Sen
ator Dolph considering the fact
that the Hon. commissioner's rul
ing of July 8, 1885, as to the lands
forfeited by act of January 31,
1885, approved by. Hon. H. L.
Muldrew, acting secretary-of the
interior, whereby the lands em
braced in this quadrant wero
thrown open for settlement; and,
considering further, the language
qubted from the said decision, the
special circumstances involved in
this case, viz: the complete elbow
made by the road, and" the fact
that the land in question was
granted in aid of the main line of
the O. U., to run irom fortland
via some point near Forest Grove
to Astoria, and which grant was
forfeited by said act of January
31, 1S85, we. believe that the rul
ing of the Hon. commissioner, as
approved by Hon. H. L. Muldrew,
acting "secretary of the interior,
will be sustained in this case, and
the land in the said quadrant will
be held to be government land,
and subject to entry as other pub
lic lands.
We have taken this means of
communicating with the settlers
who have taken claims of said
lands, to give them our opinion
and the reasons therefor.

Apropos of rats, a recent Liver
pool paper relates an incident in
connection with a wreck off the
Cornish coast. The captain was
the last to leave the ship, and as
he dropped into the life boat a rat
ran along the rope and laid hold
of the captain's collar, and the
captain turned round, and, notic
ing with what tenacity the rat held
on, said: "Poor d , like my
self, you are making an effort for
dear life; come along;" and both
were safely landed.
The few days of cold weather
were fatal to fall sheared sheep in
Crook county, and hereafter, sheep
men there will be content with one
crop of wool a year.
The grass has shot up. from the
ground in luxuriant growth and
live stock on the range are in the
most flourishing condition, says a
Chene3T paper.
The actual gap in the railroad to
California is now reduced to thirty
miles of staging over the Siskiyou
mountains. " -- -
CURE OP rXEUMONIA.
Hess Eoad, Niagara Co., i
N. Y., March 24, 1SS6. f
About a year -ago I was taken
with a severe pain in both lungs.
I was first attacked with a violent
chill, then a dreadful pain and then
a cough accompanied by a consider
able fever. It looked very much like
a bad attack of pneumonia. A friend
of mine procured five Allcock's
Plasters: One he put under each
arm, one under each shoulder blade,
and one on my chest close around
my throat. In a few hours the cough
ceased, the pain gradually abated
and I broke out in a profuse" perspira
tion. I fell into a profound sleep,
and the next day was almost well.
I wore the Plasters eight days after
wards, and have never had any
trouble since.
