The supreme court recently decided tho company's Interest In tho unsold portion of the rail road grant was $2.50 an acre, and postponed final disposition of tho case until congress could legislate. The attorney-general took tho position that tho amount of moneys tho company had collected from land already sold in excess of its rights should bo 'deducted from tho payments to be made by tho government for recovery of tho land from the compnny unless tho company should justify a more liberal ad justment by consenting to a set etlment, thus precluding the possibility of further litigation. IIq urged that the rights should not be fixed by figures or dofinltlon in a bill, but he left for judicial . determination and re commended that accrued taxes be paid to Oregon counties in which tho lands are located.
