Half garden and half outdoor living

back yard of Clinton r. Thompson,

LAND GRANT CASE
AWARD D&,077,47S
Amount Allowed Southern
Pacific on O. & c. Rail-
road Adjustment.
By the Associated Press.

PORTLAND. Greg, September Il
United States District Judge Wolver-
ton yesterday allowed the Southern
Pacific Railroad $4,07747s35 in the
final accounting OF the old Oregon and
California Railroad land grant cases.
The Southern Pacific had asked for
some $4,000 900, while the Government
conceded s1.200,000. Decision as to
whether an appeal shall be taken
rests with the company's legal de
partment.
The accounting suit involved 10U
separate lawsuits that were rolled
into the one brought under the pro-
visions OF the Charnberlain-F Ferris act,
passed by Congress in 1916.
Land Worth 10000, 900.
It LIS stated by Southern Pacific at.
torneys that the lands recovered by
and California land grants are now
worth at least $50 900 900, chiefly from
the timber on them. The district
known as the o. and G. grant is COM
posed Of two grants from the Govern
ment to aid in the building of the
oregon and California Railroad-the
Eastside grant, made in 1856. and the
Westside grant. made in 1870.
The lands were given to the old rail-
ROAD company Win TWO covenants
that they should be sold only to actual
settlers, and that they could be sold
only In tracts of $50 acres each.
Governments Contention
The Government alleged that when
the Southern Pacific obtained the
lands Il went on the theory that it
owned them outright, and proceeded
to sell as 1t saw At without regard TO
the covenants. For years 1t sold these
lands, and the Government took no
action until some 10 years ago. In
time the railroad company took these
lands off the market. The Govern
ment brought suit to compel the com
pany to forfeit the lands back to the
Federal Government upon the grounds
that the railroad company had broken
the covenants in the original grant.
