OHiHÄtt, Auditorio» B» SOUTHERN PACIFIC UNO CASE DECIDED W. G BRYANT Attomey-at-Law Federal Court Awards road $4,OH,478 for JOHN F. NUGENT Laid Portland, Or.—The last chapter, un less an appeal is taken, in the hi» । toric Oregon and California land grant case, Involving title to '3,727,889.94 acrea of land granted by the govern ment to the Oregon & California rail road, or its predecessors, in the ’60s, was written when Federal Judge Wol verton banded down a decision in the court allowing the Southern Pacific railroad F4.077,478.35. The Southern Pacific company ab sorbed ths old Oregon A. California company many years ago and the suit was really an accounting between the government and the defendant com pany. The railroad sought an award of about >8,000,000 for the land in volved and the government originally conceded >1,200,000. In ths decision the court held that the railroad company was entitled to >2.50 an acre for the land, totaling >9,319,724.85, but that the government had a counter claim of >5.242,246.50 which was deducted. The suit just decided was brought to determine the total amount of money the S. P. Co., as former owner of the grant, secured when it leased the O. A C. road, should receive from the national government as a result of its taking over the land grant in 1915. The entire land grant which the gov ernment took back is now valued at approximately >30,000,000 and includes 3,727,889.94 acres. !

C.—A belief that prohibition in the United States is facing a supreme test, with the final outcome in doubt was expressed in a report compiled after months of in- vesUg>tiOD by the research and edu cat .on department of the Federal Council of Churches. “No one can say with positiveness what the ultimate outcome of the test will be," said the report. "No cocksure optimism Is warranted, nor Is pessimism or ‘defeatism’ justified by the facts. Much seems to depend upon the development of public opin- ion in the near future." An "unfavorable and disquieting’’ trend since 1920 in the social conse- quences of prohibition was seen by the investigators in statistics gat’.i r- ed from many sources, but the report declared no available statistical data could be accepted as conclusive. On the question of public sentiment, the report declared there could be little doubt as to the mood of the country when prohibition was adopted, but that since that time various ele ments had somewhat complicated the situation. On one subject, however— the . saloon—the evidence appeared more decisive. It was said that "there seems to be not the least doubt that the country has accepted with satis faction the passing of the saloon." Washington, D. C.- President tool- Mge took flret official recognition of the controversy stirred up in his last congress over the adequacy of Amer ican air power by appointing a special board of nhM( mer to conduct a sweep ing investigation into the subject. Announcel&ent of the president's ac tion was m in a statement issued at th® WW ouse. which said that members of the board had been asked I to meet with him to organize and pro ceed immediately with its study with a view to submitting a report by the latter part of November. Mr. Coolidge’s action followed the Shenandoah disaster, in which 14 naval air officers lost their lives. and sweeping criticism by Colonel William Mitchell, demoted assistant chief of army air service. Those named on the board were Ma- r jor-General James G Harbord, retir- ed, of New York; Rear-Admiral Frank F. Fletcher, retired, of Washington, » D. C.J Dwight M Morrow, of Engle wood, N. J.; Howard E. Coffin, of Detroit; Senator Bingham of Connecti cut; Representative Vinson of Geor gia, ranking democrat of the house naval committee; Chairman Parker of the house commerce committee; Judge Arthur C. Denison, of Grand Rapids, Mich, and William F. Durand of Los Angeles. * GRAIN CROPS UNDER FIVE-TEAR AVERAGE M If you are ir .ed in the purchase of a used car v/c can quickly prove to vou that we h ears that wul come within your requirements and at prices that are real genuine bargains.
