Oregon and California Railroad Revested Lands

(

)

... that after the O&C grant lands were revested to the United States government, 18 western counties in Oregon received federal payments that lasted nearly a century before ending in early 2012?

Article is great and passes on all fronts, as does the hook. I would trim the hook a bit. Alt below which also addresses that the payments may not be quite done yet. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:05, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

The alt is good. The recent Congressional action to potentially save the program came after my original DYK so this is a good solution. Thanks! --Esprqii (talk) 15:47, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
