Oregon May Reclaim Adams Land Prize in Timber Case
The United States may forfeit 114000 acres valued at 4 million acres granted to Oregon and later transferred through several hands to the Southern Oregon company. A court suit filed by B D Townwood and James Cole suggests Oregon may intervene to regain title to the big timber land prize Adams Land Sale near Adams. A land sale of 820 acres fetched 89000 with J H Christopher selling to Dave Nelson. Christopher plans to move his family to Alboy Wash to take up a 720 acre secret farm. Farmers Union officials were elected at a Pendleton county meeting with A B named among officers.
