n FAVOR OF TIE PLAINTIFF
DECISION OF THE FEDERAT, SIT.
PREME COURT IN LAND
CASE
AGAINST NORTHERN PACIFIC
Ruling Made by Secretary villas in
1883 Is UDheld-Many Cases
OF Land Titles Are
Involved.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I'm the United
states supreme court today opinions were
handed down by Justice Harlan in several
cases involving the question whether
1t was competent for the secretary of the
interior upon receiving and approving the
map of definite location of the Northern
Pacific road in the states of North Da
kota and Washington to make an order
Withdrawing the odd numbered sections
of the land within the indemnity limits
from settlement. The test case in the list
came from North Dakota, the title being,
Fred Hewitt, plaintiff in error, VS. Emil
and triedrika Schultz. The land in uucs-
ton was settled upon by Hewitt in 1882
but his proof of settlement was rejected
on the ground that it had been withdraw
IN 1913 by the secretary of the interior as
within the limits of the Northern Pacific
indemnity. The railroad company then
sold the land to Schultz and his wife
and they entered upon possession of it.
Hewitt Immediately began proceedings to
recover the land which ended in his IA
Vor, reversing the supreme court Of
North Dakota. The decision of the court
supported the holding of Secretary Villas
rendered in 1888, which decision has since
been held by the interior department
The court stated that while it was true
that previous to that date the department
had pursued the opposite course, still the
department had consistently held to its
findings since that time At best, there
fore, Justice Harlan said, the contention
of the railroad people was one Of doubt
Many titles had been acquired, said he,
since Mr. Villas opinion was rendered,
and the court did not think the secretary
should reverse. The opinion added: "The
practice of the land department, if wrong
at all, cannot be said to be so plainly
wrong as to justify the court. after the
lapse Of so many years, in adJudging that
it had misconstrued the act of July g. 1854
The order of withdrawal by the secretary,
upon which the title of the railroad COM
pany depends, being out of the way. there
is no ground to question title Of the plain
tiff to the land in dispute
Justice Brewer and Shiras united in a
dissenting opinion. The decision affects
a large number of land entries.

Washington State Representative Lorr
will bring the matter before the Wash

This would include the famous Occur
ID Alene mining district and the greater

Northern Idaho has in the past voted in

that Southern Idaho would not object be-
cause of the lack of railroad connection
between the two parts of the state.

resulting from the mining riots in the

cred to give or take a kiss. In homes
where there are children, love reaches
Its talrest and sweetest proportions. In
