About a dozen more men arrived
from Los Angeles yesterday to jump
railroad land north Of the third stand
ard and it developed that the jumpers
have formulated a definite program.
1t is claimed that these men will ten
der the railroad company $3.50 an
acre, claiming that the road is required
to sell the land at that price, and when
this tender is refused they will pay
the government 20 cents an acre as
first payment on the land. 1t is stated
that the land Office has already taken
The % cents an acre from some Of the
jumpers.
Having thus laid something of a
foundation for the claim, the jumpers
are pledged to buy water stock in I'm
perial Water company No. 8 and pro
ceed with the development of the prop
erty
On the other hand, it is claimed by
some that the grant of this land did
not require that it be sold to claimants
for $3.50 an acre as did land under
some other claims, and that cOnse-
quently the railroad is not held down
to that price.
But there are those who go still
further back and claim the railroad
company cannot maintain its title Ia the
land on a final test Among these j.
Y. E. Noel of the Peoples Abstract and
Title company. who has no interest in
the land involved, but who some time
since passed three months in Los An
Seles studying the question of the rail
reads right 20 land. Mr. Noel says
That i'll 1913 the Texas Pacific rail
road was granted the alternate sec
tions within twenty miles of the road
tC he built through Arizona and Califor-
mia to San Diego. In this grant there
was provision that. aS the road might
approach close to the international
boundary. where ii should be less than
twenty miles from the boundary. the
road could take other land on the north
of the road to compensate for what
il would lose on the south. This pro
vision covering a strip not less than
forty miles wide from The international
boundary norlhward.
Later HE Southern Pacific was
which was to come from San Francisco
by way Of Los Angeles and eastward
10 connect with the Texas Pacific. In
this grant it was stipulated that no land
should be acquired by the Southern
Pacific company in the territory covered
by the Texas Pacific, which Mr.. Noel
holds barred the Southern Pacific com
ing within forty miles Of the mterna-
tional line.
He spoke of decisions by the su-
preme court holding that in these rail
road grant cases the rule is that no
title shall pass for land which has not
been explicitly conveyed.
II would seem from this that there
are those who hold that the Southeru
Pacific company is not in position t.
maintain it's title in the courts, though
undoubtedly the railroad attorneys are
prepared to controvert this contention

the jumpers preparing to bring the
land under actual cultivation, there
looms before the valley, so far as the
railroad land is concerned, legal fight
of magnitude.
As this does not involve any of the
land which has thus far been brought
under cultivation, the issue is not one
which affects the rights Of any others
than those who deliberately take a
hand in the contest.
