to the land along the line from San Buna-

to San Francisco, distance OF 3S4 miles,
and directs the commissioner of the general
land Office to restore this land to the public
domain. The fact that the line has been
mortgaged and money raised on its credit
is, the secretary adds, the misfortune of the
mortgage, in that they took mortgage on
that to which the mortgagors had no Legal
claim This decision restores to the public
