since the expiration of the time limit,
recognized the company's title to the
land, and is therefore stopped from ques-
tioning the same. The Pioneer Press has
in nutshall the meat of this question
Any other view at this late day would
be an obviously unjust one, however
much we might desire that the lands
we're restored to the public domain.
