SAYS SETTLERS MAY
RETAIN THEIR LAND
Northern Pacific Will Let Them
Remain on Overlap
Tract.

President Howard Elliott, of the
Northern Pacific, has decided that set
tiers who have taken up land in the
tract involved in the litigation known
as the Overlap land CASE which was
recently. decided by the United States
supreme court in favor of the company,
shall be allowed to retain their hold
ings.
1t has been announced that the com
pany desires to take up with the set
tiers the question of sale Of the lands
occupied, and that commission will
be appointed to appraise the land. It
Is stated that no advantage will be TAX
en- by the company of the settlers and
that in fixing the price of the land no
consideration shall be taken of the In
creased value resulting from the i'm
provements and cultivation by the set
tiers
The land affected by the decision
consists of a, tract about forty miles
square, lying on the east side of the
Northern Paciic's track between Ia
coma and Portland and on the north
bank of the Columbia river, including
all of Clarke county, and portions of
Skaman1a, Cowlitz and Klickitat coun-
ties.
The dispute between the Northern
Pacific and the government as to the
title to the land resulted from con-
f1icting grants made to the company,
on July 2, 1854. and May 81, 1870. The
failure of the company to construct its
line down the Columbia river to Port
land resulted in forfeiture of it's grant
of 1854, the forfeiture being declared in
an act Of congress passed in 1890. From
that time to July IS, 1895, the interior
department held the lands within the
overlap limits to have belonged to the
Northern Pacific under it's grant of
1870. In 1895 the rule was reversed
and it was held that these grants did not
pass to the railroad under it's grant of
1870, but had been restored to the pub
lie domain by the act of 1890.
Since 1895 the government has pat
ented about 1900 out of the $4,000
acres to bona fide settlers, the settlers
holding title through the government.
Under the decision just rendered, the
title granted by the government be-
comes invalid and these settlers are
deprived of their land unless, under the
act of 1898, an agreement can be made
between the railroad and the settlers,
or the company can take an equal tract
from some other portion of the public
domain.
1t has been officially announced that
the Northern Pacific desires to give the
settlers an opportunity to pay for the
land, that it intends to deal fairly with
them and that every effort will be made
to give each of the settlers title to his
land on the best terms.

The Minneapolis Roosevelt club, an or

duced a musical comedy without girls
yesterday afternoon and evening at the

The production-"Baro Hunbug," by R.

fair musical comedy and an interesting
impersonation.
Only the programme could explain the

from its obscuTity, the tale is conven-

Operating officials on the Western

points.
The Great Northern was compelled to
use the Northern Paciic's tracks be-

line threatened by the water, and it is
reported that normal conditions have
