0. & C. LAND
Til 10 decision of the federal supreme couri in the 0. &
('. land tfi'and ease is of reat iniirtaiiee to Oregon,
involving land with an assessed value extteeding $21,000,
000, which is mortKiiKud for $:iO,000,000 and has an actual
value exceeding $(50,000,000.
This land has been withheld for years f'ojn settlement
or use. It has been known as the "llai'riiuan preserves,"
from the remark made by Mr. Ilarriman that tin; railroad
was "preserving it for the benefit of future generations."
The land was granted the railroad promoters, every
other section for a twenty-mile strip on both sides of the
track, as' a subsidy for construction and 'to aid by its sale
the development of the country. The grant stinul'atcd that
no tract larger than HiO acres should be sold one person,
and a maximum price of $12.00 per acre was to be charged.
These provisions never were observed, the land sold in tiny
Quantity to applicants, at all prices, until all sale was
stopped some years ago.
Payment of taxes on this propertv was dodged for
years, through the property's being kept unsurveyed.
Actual figures show that less than a ont an acre has been
expended in taxation. During tho pant two years tax pay
ments have been refused by the company on account of
litigation involving tho tjtle.
The land grant has worked a tremendous hardship up'on
the state, contrary to the effect intended, withholding from
settlement and development some 2,1100,000 acres. A map
of the regions involved looks like a chcekorhoard, with half
the land held idle. Mining, timber and agricultural de
velopment have been stifled by the do-nothing policy,'
According to the decision rendered, neither the gov
ernment nor the railroad won a victory, though the rail
road loses its essential contentions. The government's
petition to forfeit tho grant is denied. The pleas of mter
venors for trusteeships are rejected. The railroad loses
fill but a $2.f)0 an acre equity in the grant and is enjoined
from disposing of unsold lands until congress has time to
legislate for their disposition. The settlers' clause is held
an ciiforl'eable "covenant" and not a "condition subse
quent." To punish the railroad company for its flagrant vio
lations of the conditions stipulated in the grant,
the property is made subject to congressional ac
tion, the railroad retaining its equity of $2.fi0 per
acre for unsold portions. Congress Can make ap
pro u-iai ion to pay me
$f,7f0,000, and asimiue full title to the lands and do as it
pleases, or it can order the sale under any terms and con
ditions it deems proper, or it can authorize the railroad
company to dispose of them in any way it prescribes.
Claim-jumpers and squatters must look to congress for
relief. They have no standing in law. Congress is empow
ered to deal with them as it pleases either give preference
as purchasers or ignore them.
Hy the decision the railroad is the loser and the govern
ment thu gainer. . less than six million dollar equity is
all that is left the railroad out of sixty million dollars of
property, Half the laud in a territory sixty miles wide and
Jour hundred miles long, that was withheld from develop
ment, can now be thrown open by congress to settlement,
and the population and resources of the state be materi
ally increased.
It is up to the Oregon delegation in congress to unite
upon a policy whereby this land can be utilr.pd to best de
velop the state and the region affected secure material
benefits. Here is an opportunity for true constructive
ytatcsuianship.
.Jackson county is materially interested in the future
of the laud grant, as it contains some lll.7J)l acres, much
of it fine timber land, and much of it mineral. At its pres
ent assessed valuation it is worth $7.",000 a year to the
county in taxes. If the timber was cruised it would prob
ublv be worth much more.
