A. II. Garland, ex-AttOnoy-General, in

moved the advancement OF the lmporta u
aud interesting case Of the Roman Catholic
Bishop Of Nisqually VS.. John Gibbs. /. NJ
Anderson. K. I. Yeatman and the United
States. BY this suit the Bishop seeks to
secure title TO some 430 acres Of land, COM
pTising the United States military reserva-

worth over S5O0.000 At the time Oregon
Territory was organized the Catholic

as missionary stations. Under this act the
bishop claims the whole section, while the
United States contends that the Catholic
Church had merely permission from the
Hudson Bay Company to occupy small
tract for religious purposes and had no title
to me land except half an acre, which has
been allowed It,
