SOUTHERN PACIFIC
 SUES LAND BOARD
 OVER RIGHT-OF AWAY

Declaring that the Arizona land com mission has made claim to a portion Of it's right-of and threatens to sell it, the Southern Pacific Railway Company yesterday brought suit against the state of Arizona and w. A. Moeur, land commissioner; Ben R. Clark, dep uty land commissioner; Gov. Thomas F. Campbell, Secretary of State Nit Simms, Attorney General Wiley E. Jones, State Treasurer H. s. Ross and State Auditor Jesse L. Boyce as the land Commission, asking judgment to quiet title and bar the defendants from their premises.
 The railroad company alleges tha* it acquired the right-of-way, 100 feet on either side of the track. through Pinal. Yuma, Maricopa, Pima and Co., chise counties under a special act of congress on March 3, 1875. It says that maps showing the line were filed In the United States land office and were approved by the secretary of the interior on March 10, 1883. It also al- leges it was granted a right -of-way by the revised statutes of Arizona in 1913.
 The land commission, nevertheless, claims jurisdiction over the right-of- way, the railroad company alleges, and claims the right to sell the land. The railroad company alleges the land com mission has threatened to sell the land at public sale to the highest bidder and to issue a deed and patent for it.
 The suit originally was filed on April 15, 1920 in the superior court of Pima county, but was changed to Mari copa county on motion of the defend ants. By stipulation also filed, the land commission has been granted until July l. 1920, in which to file an answer.
