SUIT WILL STOP IT jStates Attack Upon Title of the Marsters ; Tract to Be Produc tive of Serious Re sults. I r I If tho State of Oregon maintains an arbitrary stand In Its suit against A. C Marsters, from whom It Beokn ( to recover about 7,000 acres of marsh land near Fort Klamath, It will mean tho suspension of reclamation opera tions on tho Meadows drainage pro ject thin year. Steps havo been taken to create a drainage district embrac ing about 30,000 acres, Included In which In tho land In question, tho Weed tract and somo other smaller parcels. All of tho preliminary work had been dono and tho project Is now In the hands of the state engineer to await his approval, If his approval Is given, then tho next step would be the Issunnce of bonds to pay for tho reclamation -work, nnd tho project Is such a good one that no difficulty was anticipated In disposing of the securities. Now the state stops In nnd upsets all tboso calculations. When Doak and Drown purchased the land from Marsters ho had been In undisputed possession of It for nearly elghteon years Ills title seemed to bo perfect, and their attorney, C. J. Ferguson, nays tho filing of tho suit was the first intimation they had of any ques tion an to tho legality of tho title. According to the complaint tho'state has had knowledge of the fraud since 1917 and has been working on tho case since that time. Tho filing of the suit, tho complaint stateni was de In veil on nccount of tho difficulty ex- 'poriehe'ed In" loCatlrig thol(0wh6; It alleges, purchased the land from tho ntato under an agreoment with Mars torn to deed It over to him after they secured the patent. Practically all of the main legal points Involved In this suit havo been pnssed upon by tho United States Su premo Court In the Hyde-Benson suit, and If tho state can prove llts contention an to tho agreement be tween Marsters and those taking up tho land, tho fact that he has been In undisputed possession for nearly two scoro years would not work against tho stato's right to the property. Unless an agreement can bo secur ed from tho tato whereby It will Join In tho formation of the Moad' own drainage district In caso It 'wins Its suit, tho completion of tho dist rict must wait tho determination of tho litigation or thin land must bo entirely eliminated from It and tho money already spent towards Us re clamation lost. Ilonds cannot bo Is sued until tho acreage tboy cover Is known. , Another question that will nrlso by reason of tho suit Is tho validity of all stato marsh land titles. Will It bo necessary, In order to raako mark etable nny bond Issue, to prove there was no fraud from the Inception of tho process of acquiring tlltlo? Such n task would be n difficult ono.
