Oregon land fraud scandal

The Oregon land fraud scandal of the early 20th century involved U.S. government land grants in the U.S. state of Oregon being illegally obtained with the assistance of public officials. Most of Oregon's U.S. congressional delegation received indictments in the case: U.S. Senator John H. Mitchell and U.S. Representatives John N. Williamson and Binger Hermann. (Only Senator Charles William Fulton was uninvolved.)
==Background==
In 1870, the United States government granted the Oregon and California Railroad of land to build a line from Portland south to California. The land, which was granted in a checkerboard pattern along both sides of the railroad's right of way, was then sold to settlers in parcels of at the extremely low price of $2.50 an acre to encourage people to settle along the line, thus fostering development.
