THAT princely domain withheld from settlement for
many j'enrs by the Southern Pacific, which the late
Jfi. 11. llaiTJinan relcrred to as "preserved ror tuture gen
erations," will be restored to the people, if the United
States supreme court confirms the decision rendered Mon
day by Federal Judge Wolverton.
Agitation for litigation looking to the restoration of
this land grant to the public domain on account of the fail
ure of the railroad to live up to its agreement, originated
in Jackson county. Jn 1906 C. L. Renmes and L. L. Mulit,
legislative candidates, pledged themselves, if elected, to
secure the passage ot a resolution by the legislature an
thorizing legal action to recover title to the railroad grant
loo elands. Senator Mulit afterwards secured the passage of
a memorial to congress m 1907, four years alter the rail
road withdrew its lands from sale, charging that the "de
velopment and material prosperity of the state is retard
ed" by the action of the railroad company. Congress pro
vided,' in April, 1908, for the prosecution of suits in equity
to recover title to the lands and their forfeiture to the gov
ernment. The decision is of great import to Jackson county,
whej'e a large percentage of Hie land is still withheld from
settlement by the railroad. Development operations of
all kinds have been checked. Every alternate section on
either side of the railroad right of way was given the rail
road on condition that they be sold in quantities ot not
more than one quarter section to any one person for a -price
not irreatcr than 2.f)0 an acre. No land has been sold since
1903, on any conditions, and previous to that time it was
sold at various prices in almost any quantity, regardless
of government stipulations.
The history of the land grant is as follews:
Congress passed an act in July, 18GG, granting any rail
road company that would build the desired line to Portland
every alternate section of public land along its route, to
the amount of twenty alternate sections per mile. Two
companies were organized in Portland to secure this grant
and both were called the Oregon Central Railroad com
pany, the first being known as the West Side company
and the second as the East Side. The Oregon legislature
finally designated the East Side company, which had been
organized by J3en JLolladay and his associates, as tho 'com
pany to receive the grant and eventually it secured the
greater part of the land. In il870 the Oregon & California
Railroad company was organized and the East Side and
the West Side companies were united in this new organ
ization. el une 2, 1S81, the company executed a trust deed giving
preferred stockholders a preference in title to the granted
lands and naming Stephen T. Cage as one of the trustees.
In 1887 the Southern Pacific system acquired all of the
capital stock ad outstanding bonds of the O. & C. New
bonds were issued by the O. & C. at this time, secured by
mortgage upon its railroad apd land grants, and $17,500,
000 of these bonds are still outstanding.
During the years that the Southern Pacific company
controlled tho land up to 190U when all were withdrawn
from sale, il.'M.OOO acres had been sold in quantities exceed
ing one quarter section and 29(5,000 acres in (plant ities not
exceeding the legal limit fixed by the grant. Substan
tially all of the 521,000 acres sold in quantities greater than
oncquarter section were sold for a price greater than
$2.f)0 an acre.
Until the supreme court has passed upon the title
a process that will require sonje two years, probably
the lands must remain in the same condition they now are.
As soon as the title has been absolutely settled the forest
lands will probably be placed in reserves and none of the
land will be placed in the public domain, subject to pur
chase and homesteading, without an act of congress or a
special 'ox.ecutivo order.
The decision works both ways. While it will eventually
restore much land to entry and development, it alsoVheeks
the immediate development of tracts purchased from the
railroad before sale of lands ceased, a development now
being made possible through the extension of railroad
lines.

JUDGMENT WITHHELD.
PKOIMjK generally withhold decision upon the arrest
of labor leaders and alleged discovery of dynamite
plots, pending further developments.
tTp to date, the entire affair seems a duplication of the
Western Federation of Miners' alleged exposure following
the Idaho outrages of a few years ago.
Conspiracy on the part of employers seems to exist as
well as on the part of employes. Kidnaping of alleged
conspirators, instead of following customary legal meth
ods, is a confession of weakness at the outset. It is a resort
to unfairness just as the resort to dynamite is, and can
only weaken the prosecution.
Intolerance, prejudice, bigotry, are features of both
sides in these labor wars, and the public has been taught
by experience to withhold its sympathy and its censure
until more of the truth is known'.
