GOVERNOR WANTS
LAND DEEDS BACK
Says Benson and Hyde Acquired
Lieu Lands Fraudulently; Value, If
Recovered, Would Be $750,000
Instructs Attorney General to Sue.
SALRM, Or., May 9. In n communica
tion niltlroFscd to Attorney General
Ornwforil yestmliy, Governor West In
structed lilm to tnke wlmtevor nctlon
ho ileoms moHt expedient to recover tltlo
to nbout 50,000 ncrcs of lieu lamlH,
worth to tho Htate nbout $750,000, which
wero obtained by Benson and Hyde, lieu
land operators, In a fraudulent manner,
and against whom tho United States
government has brought criminal pro
ceedings for their part In the transac
tions. A list of tho lands referred to ac
company tho communication to tho nt
tornoy general, which follews:
"I am enclosing herewith a fist of
nchpol sections, which nro included with
in tho boundary of national forests In
this state, covering about GO.onn nrr
These lands were purchased by or for
mo notorious lieu land operators, lien
son and Hyde, whom tho federal govern
ornment has been trying and has par
tially succeeded In convicting for con
spiracy to defraud it of Its public hinds.
"Tho lands covered In this list are
within the Cascade foiest reserve, and
were purchased by these operators, and
In fraudulent manner, for tho purpose
of being used as base or scrip for In
demnity selections, and hnvo already
been used for that purpose The gov
ernment, however, after thorough Inves
tigation nnd discovery of tho fraudulent
character of the applications by which
these school lands woio purchased from
tho state, Is taking steps toward setting
nsioo patents to tho lands given In lieu
of theso said school sections.
"If there Is fraud sufficient, and there
undoubtedly is, to Justify the federal
government In setting nsldo Its patents
to tho lieu lands, thero Is surely fraud
sufficient to Justify the state In bring
ing suit to set nslde tho deeds from the
stato to Benson nnd Hyde.
"Should tho stato recover title to these
lands they may bo used as basis for
Indemnity selections, anil at tho present
price of base would net tho stato easily
nbout $750,000.
"Thero has been sufficient evidence
gatbciod by and now on fllo with the
Btato nnd federal land depaitinents to es
tablish tho fraudulent character of the
applications to purchase- these lands. I
would ask, therefore, that you tnke sucli
action as In your opinion Is necessary
io recover tltlo to these lands for the
stoto. Yours lespeetfully,
"(Signed) OSWAU) WRST.
