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.

PROHIBITION FACES
SUPREME TEST NOW
Washington. D. 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.
