MOVES TO BREAK

Thorough investigation.

Washington, May 4.--There is no
longer any doubt that the national ad-
ministration will exert it's powerfui IN
fiuence to break the Southern Pacific
land monopoly in Oregon and force
that company to place on the market
the remaining 100000 acres OF it,
grant, selling upon demand TO bona
fide settlers In quarter-section tracts
and at not more than $3.50 per acre,
as specifically set forth in the law I'M
der which the grant was made. After
several long conferences with Senator
Bourne, Attorney General Bonaparte
has directed District Attorney Bristol
to make thorough Investigation into
the Southern Pacific grant, more prop
erly known as the Oregon Central and
Oregon & California grant.
The government will first determine
whether the law under which the
grants were made can be enforced with
out further action on the part OF con-
gress. II it ie concluded that there is
ample law, biio governments VIZ 'HSA
determine what is the most practicable
method of enforcing it's provisions un-
less 1t ehall be found that the grant
was forfeited.
From his talks with Mr.. Bourne, the
attorney general is fully aware of the
difficulties Of the problem he has un-
dertaken to solve, and has directed
District Attorney Nathan V. Harlan, of
the third division Of Alaska, to report
to Mr.. Bristol and aid him in every
way in his Investigations. Mr.. Harlan
was in Nebraska on leave and desired
employment before the expiration. of
his leave.
Later on, it is understood, the de-
partment will investigate to determine
whether or not sales heretofore made
by the railroad in violation of the pro-
visions OF the law can be invalidated.
At present, however, the main object is
to force the Southern Pacific to put its
land on the market and no longer re-
tard development along the line Of its
road.
