the
TITLE TO
The LANDS

Washington, Aug. 20. - President
Taft yesterday signed the bill which
confirms the title Of all innocent pur-
chasers who acquired lands from the
Oregon & California Railroad com
pany in excess Of 1000 acres. but
which stipulates that they shall pay
the government $3.50 an acre for the
land, in addition to the amounts here
tofore paid the railroad company.
Innocent purchasers who acquired
less than 1000 acres and more than a
quarter section, are also recompensed
by the bill, as their titles are confirm
ed without additional payment unless
suits should be instituted within a
year from today to oyerturn their title.
b. d. Townsend assistant to the At
torney-General in the land grant suit,
informed both branches Of congress
that there was no intention to ques-
tlon the title Of these smaller purchas-
ers and this clause Is practically Of no
effect.
Under the bill as passed, any lands
recovered by the government as re-
suit Of the pending forfeiture suit Will
be held to await such disposition as
may hereafter be directed by congress.
Before signing the bill the president
referred It TO the attorney-general and
to the secretary OF the interior. Attor-
lney-General Wickersham, while not
entirely satisfied, said he would not
recommend the veto Of the bill, but
Secretary Fisher was far from pleased
and thought the bill should have re-
quired the large purchasers to pay the
government at least $25 an acre for
lands previously bought from the rail-
road company. He contended that
some Of this land was worth $3.50 an
acre and his first impulse was to sug-
gest that larger price be demanded
on the more valuable tracts.
After appeals we're made to him by
Representative Hawley and by A c.
Dixon, Of the Booth-Kelly Lumber Co.,
representing the innocent purchasers,
he modified his objections and the
president signed the bill.
