COOS BAY LAND
MAY Be OPENED
Discovery Of Defective Title
to Big Tract in Oregon
Causes Great Excitement
SETTLERS FILE CLAIMS
Company in Possession De-
clines to Sell Any Portion
and a Large Battle Is On

MARSHFIELD, Or, Feb. 1.-THE
discovery by a local law firm of de-
feet in the title to large tract of
land known as the Coos Bay wagon
road lands, held by a corporation
known as the Southern oregon Com
pany, has caused the fling OF 200 ap-
plications for quarter sections on that
tract, which is one of the most valu-
able pieces of timber lands in the
Northwest. 1t is claimed that this i'm
mensely valuable tract of timber is held
in trust by the Southern Oregon Com
pany for the people, the clause in the
original grant to the State Of Oregon
from the Federal Government being
operative in which it recites that the
land shall not be sold to individuals
other than citizens of the United States
and in tracts not larger than 100 acres
and at price not to exceed 81 so OF
less than 81 90 This land has always
been held as a whole by the corpora
ton, and upon this point hinges the
fate of the 200 applicants to purchase
the land.
Intense excitement prevails as a re-
suit Of the disclosures regarding the
title. This company has persistently
refused to sell foot of land to settlers
at any price.

WILL DIVIDE
CLARK ESTATE
Beneficiary and Contestants of
viii of the Wealthy Suicide
Have Agreed on Compromise
EACH TO RECEIVE A THIRD
Probate Case Now in Courts
Has Been PeaceabIy Settled
satisfactorily to Both Sides

The contestants in the matter of the
will of Miss Isabella Clark, the wealthy
young woman who committed suicide
in the McNutt Hospital on September
10, 1903, have agreed on a compromise
and expect to have the contest settled
before the case comes up for hearing.
The sisters, Alice Ann Hart and Mary
F. Carter, have been contesting the will
that Miss Clark made the day before
her death. 1t gave all of her estate
of $500, 600 to her sister, Grace e. Stronn
The case has been in court since jan
uary IL and the attorneys for the con-
testants have endeavored to show that
Miss Clark was of unsound mind at
the time she made the will.
Several witnesses were examined and
they testified that Miss Clark's mind
had been impaired for some time just
prior to her death. Miss Clark was
sent to McNutt's Hospital to bAtreated
for nervous troubles and the day be-
fore she took her life she made her
will making her sister Grace Strohn
the sole beneficiary and naming DR..
McNutt as executor.
The will was filed for probate shortly
after Miss Clark's death and the two
overlooked sisters Immediately filed
papers contesting the apportionment of
the estate.
The attorneys for the contestants. NJ.
r. Michaels and Carter Pomeroy. while
contesting the WILL have been seeking
to effect a compromise. 1t was stated
yesterday on good authority that the
deal had been almost completed. The
compromise gives the contestants each
a third of the $500, 900 estate. The con-
testants claim that an even or prac-
tically even distribution of the estate
will be made. They claim to be able
to get such a distribution by due pro-
cess Of law, as 1T has been almost
definitely established that Miss Clark 8
mind was affected when she made the
will.
One of the contestants yesterday
said: You can put it down as a fact
that a compromise will be made before
the case comes into the courts on Tues
day next Just what portion OF the
estate the contestants will receive
cannot at this time say, but whatever
compromise is effected will be favor
able to the contestants.
Should there be hitch in the com
promise the case will be fought Wig
orously
1t is claimed by the contestants that
the mind of Miss Isabella Clark had
not been in a sound condition from the
date of the death of her brother in
August of 1898 up to the time of her
death. Miss Clark was of an exceeding
ly morose and melancholy disposition,
and the loss of her brother, whom she
loved dearly. seemed to affect her mind.

ExoRBITANT CHARGES MADE.

In the report the city was charged
with the salaries of keepers and
watchmen of lands not in use in the
production of water for this city.
These salaries amounted to thousands.
Whenever a large item of expense
could not be understood by the COM
mittee the water company officials
could not itemize it, They did not
know in what way the money was
spent, nor could they itemize the $14,-
600 put down as stable expenses; the
$4,000 office expenses, or the general
expense fund of $4,000. Every ex-
pense incurred in any manner by the
water company, whether in the pro-
duction of water or not, was charged
to the city as operating expenses.
There was a sum of $4,000 extra
expenses down in the expense report,
which the Spring Valley expected to
use in extra pumping in the anticipa-
ton of a dry season this year The
Supervisors thought that in view of
the fact that there had been a good
deal of rain subsequent to the max
ing up of the expense account the
$4,000 mentioned could be eliminat-
ed in considering the expenses Of the
company.
AS usual, the Spring Valley officials
were not ready with the reports that
the Supervisors wanted and what re-
ports they did have were so skillfully
prepared that it was next to impossi-
BILE to CLEAN any information from
them.
The investigation was continued un-
~ aFf at C.Qn
