Railroad Loses Millions.

Portland, Ore,-Federal District
Judge Charles E. Wolverton decided
that the Southern Pacific and the Ore
gon & California railway companies
must forfeit to the United States
about 100000 acres of land which is
valued at 4O,0OO,0OO to $75,0O0,0O0.
Interpreting the act of Congress
granting the land as an aid to rail
way construction, the court held that
Congress intended this land should be
sold to bona fide settlers in tracts not
greater than 100 acres to one individ
ual and al price not exceeding $3.50
an acre. Every contention raised by
the railway company has been defeat
ed in its fight with the government
If this decision be sustained by the
United States Supreme Court the lani

Want Oil Law Amended.

Washington.-Upo the petition OF
nearly 200 citizens of Denver and Colo
RADIO Springs, an effort will be made
to secure an important amendment to
the oil land act of June 25, 1910, of
great interest to the West. The peti-
TONERS are those who had initiated
rights to coal lands in Routt county,
Colorado, prior to the withdrawal act
-expending from 800 to $3.50 on each
claim. They seek an amendment of
the oil act to save to them the same
rights as extended to oil prospectors
under that measure, and such bill
will be introduced soon. The act of
June 25, 1910, expressly recognized
the initiated rights of oil prospectors
whose titles were not affected by the
new law. The coal locators now plead
for the same protection. One Colo
RADIO case was taken to the secretary
OF the interior on appeal, but met with
an adverse decision both here and at
the local land office.
