HAPPENINGS HERE In OREGON
STATE WILL LOSE HEAVILY.
II ReJection Of Claim to swamp Land
q Affirmed.

salem--The rejection Of the claim Of
the state Of Oregon to $1,000 acres Of
tbs swamp land in Klamath marah
will. II affirmed by the secretary Of the
interior, cut big slice of the sum the
state hoped to realize from the sale Of
this land. The states claim was for
Zoe, 1000 acres, and Of this all but about
1000 acres had been declared by the
suryeyor-general TO be swamp land.
The states claim was based upon the
swamp land grant of 1860. The Klam-
sth Indian reservation was created in
1864 and the alottments to the Indians
were made within the last ten years.
The $1,000 acres probably comprises
the best Of the swamp lands and If the
title Of the Indians should be finally
confirmed, the remaining 3S 900 acres
which the state would receive, would
be rendered practically worthless.
Whether an appeal will be taken to
the secretary of the interior has not
been determined. General w. H. Odell
was attorney for the state in the pre-
sentation of the states claim to this
land. He does not know the grounds
upon which the decision of the assist
ant commissioner Of the general land
Office was based, but is very firmly Of
the opinion that the states right to the
land is superior to that Of the Indians.
The value of the swamp lands ON
Klamath marsh has been estimated all
the way from $780, 900 to 81 200, 900.

Macarthur, who has arrived here to

ture of the defenses Of the territory is
the protection Of the naval station at

clares that the occupation of the other
