PORTLAND, Ore.. April 21. In Its
suit for tho recovery of 2,500,000 acres
or land, valued ut J7G.O00.00O from tho
Southern Paclllu railroad. Judge Wolvor
tou lit tho United Stutes circuit court
today rendered a decision Uniting for tho
government In every contention, Tho
bind Is located In western und southern
Oregon and follows tho lino of tho rull
raod through tho southern part or tho
state. Tho decision to nil Intents and
purposes tin own out of court both tho
cross complaints und Intevenors In the
suit, which Include 65 settlers who claim
ed rights to portions of the hind involved
In the action.
Over-rules Demurrer.
Tho court overruled the demurer of
tue Oregon & California railroad, a part
of tho Southern Pacific, to the govern
ment's complaint nnd sustained tho de
murrer of tho railroad company to tho
cros complaint of tho actual settlers on
some of the land In question known ua
tlui LnfTerty Intervenors and ulso all In
tcrvonnrs who cumo Into tho suit after
filing of the government's complaint.
Attorneys for the M. P. hnvo not yet
determined what action they will follow,
but It Is expected that the case will bu
curried to the United States court. Wil
liam I). Fen ton, chief counsel for tho
ralltoad Interests, said ho was coulldent
that tho ru II road would finally win. Ho
said the decision reduced the question to
one between tho government und tho

It Is probable that attorneys for tho

hope that they may be reinstated In tho
case with a right to secure tho land
wnlch they claim tho railroad should
huvo sold them upon, their offer of J2.C0
nn iicte, the stipulated price. Tho de
cision comprised 26,000 words und It ru
(lulled three hours to render It,
When congress gavo the lnnd grant to
tho Oregon & California railroad, since
nhBorbed by the Southern Paclllc, It pro
vided In tho grant that tho compuny
should sell It to actual settlers In trucls
not to exceed 160 acres to each settler
and ut a price of not more than 12.80 an
uoro. This wus done with a view of
bringing about u rapid settlement of
Oregon.
1000 Acres Sold.
Tho government alleged, however, that
as much us 1.000 uores of hind wus sold
to single Individuals in direct violation
of tho contract und tho government In
Keptomber or 1S08, took uctlon nskjng
for cancellation of tho patent of tho

Previously A. W. I.alTerty, now a con

compuny asking thut title bo given to 63
persons who asserted they hud settled on
the truot und hud been refused tltlo. In
Its notion tho government Included theso
peoplo In Its suit for recovery.
Based on Two Grants.
Tho suit Is based upon two grants
to the Oregon & California rallroud. Tim
first grunt was made .i s886R und 6S and

railroad the right to overy other section

until ufter the panic of 1S93. when tho

California had been absorbed by tho
Southern Puclllc.
Hpoolnl Prosecutor Townsond, In
