COTTAGE GROVE, OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1907 . » * “ , ’SiSS’on.221 «■— ‘W.-*r*lh“ L‘ *• Portland, Or., Aug 12.— There has suddenly appeared an active awakening of the Southern Pacific Railway Company in relation to its Oregon grant lands A force of twenty-six cruisers lias been sent into Polk county, and is at work cruising the rnilroad company’ s timber lauds there. The same lorce of cruisers are also cruising certain contiguous areas o f timber, and it is reported that a large sale is in prospect. Southern Pacific timber lands in Southern Oregon are alBo being cruised in various places, and the air is rife with rumors of sales. The belief is growing that the company iias planner! to make extensive sales or to offer its lands lor sale in large tracts. A few sales have already been made. Alarmed by the wholesale filings made upon their lands by settlers and others who hope by some in terpretation of the law to acquire the lands at the statutory price, the railroad company is believed to have settled upon a policy for the future in relation to the grant. One theory is that the company is ac cumulating evidence to establish a claim that, it has always stood ready to sell in lands to actual settters at a price o f $2.50 per acre, and that large areas o f lhe land are not suit able for agricultural purposes as has been claimed by alleged set" tiers Another theory is that the company has in preparation a huge plan for wholesale disposition of the timber lairds before they are re strained by an actual government proceediug that might lead to for feiture of the grant.
