Must Get Rid of Kinks if County Is to Cooperate If the ranchers of Wood River valley want the road bad enough to spend time in securing a straight right-of-way for the road, then the county court will be ready nnd will ing to do business with them. This was the reply of the county I court to a delegation of Kort Klam ath ranchers that asked immediate action Saturday afternoon, on the improving of a road which runs east and west across Wood river valley about ten miles south of Fort Klamath. The road, known as the old Fort Klamath road for u part of the dis tance ncross the valley has too many twists and right-angle turns to jus tify nn improvement, the court holds. When the kinks are straight ened out, then an improvement would be justified and the time would come when the thoroughfare would be designated a county mar ket road. With possibly one exception, the ranchers said that they could get tho road straightened out without trouble. Kiwanians Staging Annual Convention VANCOUVER, B. C. Spet. 14.

GRANT Federal Judge Wolverton Hands Down Decision in Important Case PENDING SINCE 1916 Railroad Gets Just Half of Sum Claimed in Famous Land Litigation PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 14. (A. I'.) Unified States li- Irirt Judge Wolverton today al lowed the Southern I'aelrle Ilail road $ 1.1177, f7H.:l.1 in the final accounting of the old Oregon UUll I a I Hoi II hi I '.ail com I hue I grant cases. Tile Southern Pacific liad ask ed ror some sk.ohu nun. while the government conceded $!, 'JOO.tMN). Derision as to whether an appeal shall Ih taken rests with the company's legal depart ment in Kan Franrhiro. The accounting suit involved 100 separate law suits that were rolled into the one brought under the pro visions ut the Chamberlain-Ferris act, passed by congress in 1910. Worth s::o.ooo nun It is stated by Southern Pacific attorneys that the lands recovered by the government from the old Ore gon and California land grants arc now worth at least $30,000,000. chiefly from the timber on theai The district known as the O. and ; grant is :oiuposed of two rrranis from the government to aid in the building of the Oregon and California rail road. The east side grant made in 1S66 and the west side grant made In 1870. The lands were given lo the oltl railroad company witli two covenants that they should be sold only to ac tual settlers and that they could be sold only in tracts of 160 acres each. The government charged that when the Southern Pacific secured the lands. It went on the theory that it owned them outright, and proceeded to sell as it saw fit without regard to the covenants. For years it sold these lands, and the government took no action until some years ago. In time the railroad company took these lands off the market. The govern ment brought suit to compel the com pany to forfeit the lands back to the federal government upon the grounds that the railroad company had brok en the covenants in the original grant. Court Ituliug In '19 15 the United States supreme court held that the lands could not be forfaited without the railroad company receiving 12.50 an acre for ail the lands that were in the orig inal grants, including those it had sold. The court suggested that con gress amend the original act so as to have the government take back the lands and at the same time they give the railroad company $2.50 an acre to which it was entitled. Acting upon this suggestion, the. Chamberlain-Ferris act was passed which provided that the government would take back all the lands left, but pay the railroad $2.50 an acre for all the lands that were in the grant, but charge against this gross sum all the money the company had received In connection A'ith the sale of tracts to settlers ard others. Today's decision not only settled the amount lo be paid the company, bill also the! legal conclusions on many mooted points in connection with moneys paid out and received. Judge WoJvorton found that there should be 3.727.SS9.94 acres in tho O.. and C. land grant, for which $9.:ll!i. 7 2 4.S5 gross should he al lowed. Hut he charged the company with $5,242,246.50 which made the cash award to the Southern Pacific company of $4. 077.47S. 35. The government some time ago set aside $1,000,000 cash to be paid on this suit when decided. Provision of the rest of Hie amount will he up to the next congress. tost: pirates PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 14.
