Oregon California land controversy explained by Southern Pacific
The article reports that the United States Supreme Court affirmed the Southern Pacific Company owns lands under the grant with absolute title but must sell to actual settlers in parcels not exceeding 160 acres at up to $2.50 per acre. It notes timber lands could be sold at higher values, while government limits on sale price apply to land and timber. The company argues it has right to dispose of timber to aid railroad needs and warns government actions could cause losses, offset by free government transportation.
