No that is not the real trouble after

There are big syndicates in this
country that have bought up and con-
trol enough script to cover every acre
of government timber land in the three
states mentioned. These syndicates
bought this script for speculative pur.
poses. They got it for little or moth.

Upon this question the fact that
stands out prominently is that there
is no direct testimony that.B made

even that they ever met, or either

til Budd had fully paid. for the land.
No witness ever knew or heard of any
agreement. What, then, is the evi-
dence upon which the government re-
lies? 1t appears that Montgomery
purchased quite a number Of tracts
of timber lands in that vicinity, some
10 600 acres, as claimed by one Of the
witnesses; that the title to 21 of these
tracts was obtained from the govern.
ment within one year by various par.
ties, but with the same two witnesses
to the application in each case; that
the purchase by Montgomery were
made shortly after the payment to
the government, and in two instances
day or two before such payment;
that these various deeds recite only a
nominal consideration of one dollar;
that Budd and Montgomery were resi-
dents of the same city, Portland, Ore:
that one of the two witnesses to these
applications was examining the lands
in that vicinity and reporting TO
Montgomery, and that the patentee,
Budd, years otter his conveyance to
Montgomery. stated to government
agent who was making inquiry into
the transaction that he still held the
land and had not sold II, but that II
was "in soak" But surely this
amounts to little or nothing 1t sim.
ply shows that Montgomery wanted
TO purchase large body Of timber
land. and did purchase them. This
was perfectly legitimate, and implies
or suggests no wrong.

TO SELL TIMBER CLAIMS.

A Former Decision Cited In Which a
Case was Carried Up to the U. ..
Supreme Court at Washington.
Timber land claimants, who have
proved up and paid for their lands.
but have not yet received patents, are
feeling much easier says the Medford
Southern oregonian. The general
opinion seems to be that the harsh
Interpretation of the word specula-
ton being made by the land depart
ment will not stand. This is further
strengthened by the fact that there is
a decision of the United States SUI
preme court bearing directly upon the
point at issue. In effect, the decision
states that the claimant is at liberty
10 sell the land at any time, and in
this case II was mentioned that land
was sold for which payment had not
yet been made to the government.
The decision follows the evident
common sense view OF the matter
that unless there Is conclusive ar
rangement to turn over the land for
a certain consideration for the right.
the claimant is acting entirely within
the law and within his rights.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the United States VS.. Mont.
gomery and Budd, and was carried up
from the state of Washington. II ap-
pears in the U. S. supreme court, vol
ume 144, page 154. IL reads in part
as follows:
The particular charge is that Budd
before his application had unlawfully
and fraudulently made an agreement
with his oo-defendant. Montgomery.

Dust it from using the streets and
alleys for its poles and wires-a t;ecis-

first class. Judge Dale held that the
company did not need franchise; that
the state law providing for its termi-

unconstitutional and that the city
could say what streets and alleys coul6
be used be the company, but could not
shut all of them against it.
