SUIT TO FIX STATUS OF
RAILROAD LAND GRANT

Washington, Jan. 11.-Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte recently has received
a number of letters relating to the
status of lands held under railroad
and wagon road grants in Oregon
which have not been disposed of by
the grantees, and asking if the present
holders of such lands ''have to sell the
same to actual settlers only at a rate
not exceeding $3.50 an acre" The
purpose Of the inquiry made is to de-
termine whether persons cannot now
acquire the right to purchase such
lands. the value of which in most in
stances is in excess of the price
named. The attorney general has
made general reply, as follows:
Inquiry as to the sale Of lands now
held by the Southern Pacific railroad
under grants from the United States,
you are respectfully informed that pro.
ceedings will shortly be taken to de.
termine the rights and responsibilities
OF the railroad companys holding the
title to the lands mentioned in your
letter Further than this 1 am not au-
thorized by the law and the practice
OF the department to advise you on
the project, but recommend that you
take no steps involving expense to
yourself in connection with this mat.
