GOVERNMENT LOSSES
VIN BIG LAND UIT
A Washington dispatch' ot; MaY(4th
Bay a; The Supreme Court of the United
States decided the caEO of the Orogon &
California Railway Company vs. tho
United States In n caso involving cnrtaln
lands in Oregon which woro claimed by
tho railroad company under patents is
sued in 1871 under tho Oregon donation
oct. Tho decision was favorable to (ho
company. Uio contention in beholi of
thu United States was that tho patent
had been issued by mistake, an tho laud
in ilispulo had been located as early as
curly as 1So3, but tho court hold that, as
tho laud had not boon reclaimed n ro-
qulred b law, thu sottloment of 1853
was not vniui.
IMMENSE INCREASE IN
PRICES OF TIMBER
Al Coats of Aberdeen and It, F. Lytlo
of Hoquinnvhavo made nrrnngemunts
to buy tno great tract of timber owned
by tbo Popo, Talbot YVolker Company.
It Is commonly known as tho Puget
Mill Company's property, and tho prlco
to bo paid Is 2.C0 per thousand feet,
This property was bought nt prlvato
cash entry about 20 years ago for $1.25
an acre, tbo presont prlco being twico as
much per 1000 feet as it thou cost per
aero. This would brine tho snlo pries to
about 70 dollars an aero, or 55 tltneu tho
tho amount of tho original purchase
price, showing n fairly good profit.
Thu land lips between thu Hcqulain
ond Wishka rivers, and up to tho pres
ent time tho Pope, Talbot ,A Walkor
Company has rafuscd absolutely to tell.
It is what is down as "tidewater soow"
tho logs all being within easp hauling
distanco of tho rivers mentioned, and
especially valuable on that nccouut.
