said, with the senator for his
disorderly conduct. Senator

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.

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.
