Government Seeks to Recover Land.
Portland Suit to recover lands
granted the Oregon & California
Railroad Company (now the South
ern Pacific Company), and valued at
more than $40,000,000, began last
wemk, when B. D. TownBend, special
ansistatt to the Attorney-Oeneral,
filed a complulnt with the Federal
Court. This uctlon, which has been
in contemplation for several years,
and which received an impetus when
the Oregon Legislature of 1(07 sent
a memorial to Congress, will be the
most Important legal battle ever pre
cipitated In the Pacific Northwest.
More than a year of preliminary
preparation has been consumed, and
with the 01lng of the complaint the
Government has fortified Its ease to
the smallest detail.
The case will be bitterly fought by
the railroad corporation, for the
lands Involved represent some of the
bent timber on the Paclflo Coast, If
not In the world. While a conserva
tive estimate placeis the amount In
volved at $40,000,000, the actual
value of the land and timber Is much
greater. The suit will eventually
go to the United State Supreme
Court before the railroads will stop
fighting for this Midas territory.
