Certain official maps of the govern
ment are. by the authority of the gov
eminent. declared 10 be Incorrect, and
as now printed perpetuate mistake
which is being taught in many of the
schools of this country. The map in
question is declared faulty in that it
shows the Louisiana cession to extend
beyond the Rocky mountains and 10
include what are now known as Wash
ington, Oregon and parts of Montana,
idaho and Wyoming. The commits
sioner of the general land office, Binger
Herman, after an exhaustive eXamina-
tion of authorities, has recommended
that the new maps make the Louisiana
cession end at the Rocky mountains,
and his suggestion has been adopted
by the secretary of the interior, Mr.
Bliss.
The commissioner has published an
official report upon the subject, con-
tanning maps and illustrations. The
country beyond the Rockies will on
the new maps be shown to have been
acquired by discovery in 1892, by ex-
ploration in 1908, by the Astoria set
Element in 1911, and by the Florida
treaty in 1919. Authorities are cited
to uphold this view, and the erroneous
statements are given upon which pop
ular misconception is based. The facts
of history as given by jefferson, Mar
bois, Grsenhow and others are quoted
in opposition to the present idea. A
review of annexations by the United
States is included in the report, and
the benefits arising from such acquisi-
tions are pointed out.
The report says:
'The grand total of the sums paid
for our foreign acquisitions amounts
TO $50, 100000 sum less than the value
of one years output of Montanas min
erals, of Mnnesota's annual wheat
yield, or of the cattle and hay product
of California for one year"
A new map of Alaska, showing re-
ported gold discoveries and other min
eral deposits, land offices, new routes
to the interior, ETC., is also incor-
porated.

One Day Only Each Month.
The Specialist.

DR.. Mcdonald has for years
made study and speciality of
chronic and lingering diseases
that require skillfull medical
treatment for their cure; such
cases as family physicians fail to
help and pronounce incurable are
particularly solicited, especially
those over dosed with strong
mineral drugs and poisons. DR..
Mcdonald uses only the purest
medicines from the vegetable
kingdom. He pays attention to
the cause of the disease and in
structs his patients the way to
health and happiness.
DR.. Mcdonald can show hun
dreds of testimonials in the hand
writing of grateful patients who
have been cured by him, when
others fail. He is so familiar
with the human system that he
is able to read all diseases of the
mind or body correctly at glance
without asking any questions.
Thousands of invalids are being
treated daily for diseases that
they do not have, while a few
drops of northumberland to the
seat of the disease would give
speedy relief and permanent cure
in very short time. Good health
is the most precious jewel in our
crown of happiness. With it the
world is bright, without it, misery
claims us for her own. If you
are a sufferer you should weigh
well these words; a person who
neglects his health is guilty of
great wrong to himself and a
grave injury to humanity. The
name of DR.. Mcdonald, the we'll
known specialist in the cure of
chronic and lingering diseases,
has become a household word in
thousands of homes which his
skill and wonderful remedies have
made happy by restoring dear
ones to health after all hopes
were lost. The doctor is a grad
uate of the highest and best med
ical colleges and his advanced
theories in the treatment of
chronic diseases surprise the
most skeptical. All chronic dis
eases of the
