Representative Hermann has intro
duced q bill authorizing the Coos Bay,
! Roseburg 4 Eastern Railway and Navi-
CATION Company TO construct and main
| tain bridge across the Coal Bank slough
| in Coos county. 1t contains the same
general provisions as all bills providing
/ for bridges over navigable streams.
1t took year to get out the instruc-
tions to land officers when the old
Oregon Central grant was forfeited be-
fore the land officers could receive en-
tries. 1t would have taken nearly as
long had the Oregon delegation not been
so persistent in urging the Interior De-
partment officials to act in the case OF
the Northern Pacific forfeiture case.
There has not been week since the
passage Of the bill that some member Of
the delegation has not visited the de-
partment on this business.
The Commissioner OF the General
Land Office, who is preparing his in
structions to Registers and Receivers on
the forfeited Northern Pacific lands,
says in reference to the second section
that 1t confirms to the city OF Portland
the riparian rights and certain land
sought to be conveyed by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company. This the
law expressly provides, and the state
ment Of the Commissioner only shows
that Tia lawyers Of the Department so
construe the law.
