VOLUME XXIX
CHANCE
FOR SETTLERS
Land Taken From Southern
Pacific Not Subject to
Entry.
MANY LOSE HOLDINGS
Such is the Decision of the
Courts in the Washington-
Oregon Land Case
That the bona fide settlers on the
Southern Pacific Railroad 1 inds
declared forfeited to the government
in the Oregon-California decision
have little or no hope of gaining
any rights to their holdings is the
positive view of Louis L. Sharp,
chief of the field division of the
United States Land Office, in spi'e
of contrary declarations- Mr. Sharp
declares that, regardless of the hard­
ship that the decision may cause the
settlers, they have the law, as well
as the court decision against them .
Even if the Appellate Court sus­
tains the decision, the lands would
^yvert to the government not as
public domain open to settlement,
but as government property. If
such lands are opened to entry later
it will be as any other lands to which
any one qualified will have as much
right as those who have field appli­
cation under the impression that
the lands would revert from the
railroad. By the act of August 20,
rgt2, it is expressly provided that
these lands shall not be subject to
entry or to the initiation of any
rights whatever under any of the
public land laws of the United
States.
