Since my arrival in England" says
Sir Thomas, "my attention has been
called to a published report that an
expenditure of $5O,OOO,OOO is cOntem-
plated this year in laying double tracks
constructing branch lines and putting
tunnel through the Rocky Mountains,
which would provide an alternative
route, with much easier grade than
now exists, and through which electric

our contemplated expenditure over the

COPPER SMELTER IS
CALLED A NUISANCE
Grand Jury Says It Should Be Abated
as It Kills Animals and Vege-
tion.

Redding, Cal, April 29.-That the
mammoth copper smelter plant at Ken.
net should be abated as a public nui-
sanee, because fumes filled the air and
destroyed vegetation and animal life
for miles around was recommended to
the superior court by grand jury here
today. The jury further recommended
that the board of supervisors instruct
the district attorney to proceed against
the smelter. The smelter and adjoining
mine employ more than 1000 men.
The smelter people claim that the
plant is doing no damage whatever
since the installation of $35O,OOO bag
house five years ago, The smelter Is
operating under a decree Of the United
States supreme court, which permits a
small amount Of sulphur dioxide to be
emitted from its stacks, The smeltor
at Coram, nearby, was closed down
three years ago because IL did not com.
ply with this decree.

LISTER POINTS OUT
A Joker IN THE LAW
Washington Will Vote This
Fall on Proposition to Let
Aliens Own Lands
IN THE MUNICIPALITIES
Says Supreme Court Holds Every
County Is a Municipality, and
Doors Would Be Open.

Olympia, Wash, April Ex-Governor
Lister today declined to comment in
any way upon the attitude of Governor
johnson and the California legislature
toward the anti-alien land legislation
now pending in that state. He said
that, as matter of comfy between
states, and courtesy due one exec
utive from another, it would be decid-
edly improper for him to express any
public opinion on the matter. Howev-
er, he was willing to discuss anti-alien
legislation as affecting the state of
Washington. He quoted the present
constitutional provision which bars all
alien ownership in Washington state,
except that for mining or manufac-
turing purposes where the property has
been acquired by inheritance or in the
ordinary course of justice in pro-
ceeding for the collection of debt.
The governor pointed out that the
last legislature voted to submit an
amendment to the state constitution
which will be passed upon by the elect
ors in November of next year. If car
ried, this amendment will permit all
aliens without discrimination to ac-
quire land within municipalities.
The question has been raised here
whether if the proposed amendment
carries in this state, japanese and 9th
ef alien races cannot buy property any.
where in the state. The constitutional
amendment says municipalities, in
passing upon questions of bond issues,
it is said the state supreme court has
ruled that, in addition to cities and
towns, every school district and every
county is a municipality.

.M|NTON AND THOMAS
HAVE A WORDFEST
Councilman Carries His Point - Worh
Must Be Done as Ordered Some
Time Ago.

Street Commissioner Cornelius was
unhorsed last evening at the council
meeting in clash with Councilman
Minton. A committee report in the
case of Earl Race recommended that he
be paid $50 damages because the street
in front of his residence had been left
in bad shape and the street commission
er had refused to fix it. There was a
lengthy discussion, participated in by
stolz, Macy, Cummings, Minton, Corne-
Illus and Brown.
Cornelius offered to back, with 800,
his assertion that he never said he
would not do the work. "And L don Z
want you to tell here did," he said,
shaking his finger menacingly at Min.
ton.
Minton told of having called on the
street commissioner twice in an effort
to find out if he would do the work.
He declared he could get no satisfaction
out Of him.
A motion introduced by Brown, pro-
viding that the street commissioner pro-
ceed to fix the street as ordered by the
council some time ago, was passed, and
Minton IS victory was won.
Minton Again Raps Him.
Later in the meeting Minton told of
how people in certain district had
been ploughing through the mud for
over year and it seemed impossible
to get the board walks built.
This brought the street commissioner
forward again and he said he had been
street commissioner under three ad
ministrations and Minton was the first
to find fault with his way of doing
things. He accused Minton of failure
to give him certain resolution in writ
ing and Minton said he did not have to.
1t was finally decided to let the city
recorder furnish the street commission
er with resolutions.
There was laugh when the commits.
sioner wanted to know how the work in
front Of Races place should be done,
and Minton replied that Mrs. Race
would show him how she wanted it
done.
"What does forthwith meant" in.

DECISION FORFE|TS
100000 ACRES
Judge Holds Oregon & Cali
fornia Road Violated the
Terms of Its Grant.
CASE IN COURT S YEARS
Company Sold Part Of Its Lands to
Others Than Settlers and Tracts
Exceeding 100 Acres.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRE.I

Portland, Ore, April 29.-United
States District Judge Charles Wolver-
ton this morning announced that the g.
100000 acres of lands remaining of the
grants made in 1866 and 1870 by the
government in order that the Oregon &
California railroad might be construct.
ed is forfeited because of failure on the
part of the company to comply with the
terms of the grant. The decision came
when attorneys for the railroad COM
pany decided not to argue the case,
which was set for this week. 1t will
be appealed to the United States cir
cult court Of appeals at once.
The Oregon & California railroad is
now part of the Southern Pacific.
The lands involved in this suit are To-
Gated in practically every county in
Western Oregon and Northwestern
California, and should Judge Wolver
ton decision be upheld in the court of
appeals, will throw the land open to
settlement.
Judge Wolverton g decision ends all
litigation for the present in Oregon in
the famous land grant suit, which has
been pending for five years. The ac-
tion of the defense in not arguing the
case came as surprise.
Violated Terms Of Grant.
The principal action in the suit came
in 1909, with the arguing and overrul-
ing of demurrer filed by the defend
ants.
In his decision, which was delivered
orally, Judge Wolverton held that the
Oregon & California Railroad Company
had violated the grant in selling and
disposing Of some Of its lands to per.
sons not actual settlers in quantities
exceeding 100 acres, and that since
January l, 1908, thousands Of persons
had applied to the company to purchase
unsold lands at $3.50 per acre, but that
the defendant company had refused to
dispose of any of its holdings.
Judge W. D. Fenton, Of Portland,
his brother, James E. Fenton, and
Peter F. Dunno, were present in court
representing the Southern Pacific Rail
way Company,
OF this unsold land, which is for.
feited to the government, hire are s12O
acres in Multnomah county. In Wash.
ington county there are 2452 acres; in
Yamhill county 2712O acres and in
Clackamas county s9,l62 acres. The
largest amount is in Douglas county,
where 615,s43 acres will revert back.
approximately 100000 acres south
of Eugene, and nearly half of all the
lands for 40 miles on each side Of the
Southern Pacific from Eugene south
were included in the grant, of which
only a very small portion has ever been
sold.
