MANY FOLLOW WITH LAND SUITS
Settlers Along Oregon & California
Road Seek Lands Under Grant.

Tacoma, Wash-The suit brought in
the federal court by Roy W. Minckler
to compel the Oregon & California
railroad to sell to him 80 acres in the
original grant in Clarke county for
$3.50 an acre is to be followed by SIM
liar suits against the Northern Pacific
and other railroads in this state.
According to attorneys who are
handling the cases approximately
2,000000 acres of the railroad grant
lie in Washington, which, under the
terms of the grant, must be put on the
market at $3.50 an acre. Failure to
comply with these terms, it is said,
will invalidate the entire grant.
1t is expected that the actions
against the Northern Pacific will be
commenced with test case from Lew
is county similar to that brought
against the Oregon & California. The
complainants are settlers who have
established homes within the railroad
grants.

Brown. Of the cases of the Board OF
Trade and the City OF Winston vs.. the
Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pany and the Corporation Commission
Of North Carolina va the Norfolk and
Western Railway Company. The cross
examination lasted ten hours or more,
and the questions propounded by coun.
sci for the prosecutors showed that
they had familtarized themselves thor.
oughly with the rate question.
The result OF the entire hearing
might be said to be victory for tho
counsel for the Corporation Commits
sion. a number OF cases were. brought
up. showing that the rates to this city
IN comparison with other cities wers
unfair The only defense that Mr..
Davant put up for this was that the
larger cost OF operating the road to
Winston was because there were more
curves and grades, which added to the
expense. AS rehuttal to this testi-
nony, the complainants brought out
the fact that the road hauls freight
from Cincinnati to Roanoke ct 81
cents.
1t also haals freight from cincin-
natl to Lennig, q small station on the
Durham and bvnchburg. forty-eight
miles further than Roanoke, and only
charges 81 cents. It also i1auls freight
from Cincinnati to Henry, small sta
ton on the Winston Salem route. forty
four miles farther than Roanoke, ana
only charges the same amount that
they would charge for hauling 1t to
Roanoke. In other words. they hauled
1t forty miles for nothing; and these
forty miles where the freight is hauled
for nothing are over the very roads on
&hich they say that the operating ex-
penses are greatest, namely. the Win
