IMPORTANT LAND DECISION
An Individual Can Make Any Number OF
Filings so Long as Final Proof Is Not
Made-An important Ruling.

The Lewiston land Office received this
week from the department a ruling on
the Armstrong case which decides that
filing an application to purchase under
the timber and stone act without making
proof and paying money does not pre-
clude the applicant from making subse-
quent filings. The case decided was the
contest of Juo. b. Anderson against the
timber and stone entry OF James >.
Armstrong. The contest was made on
the ground that Armstrong had three
times prior to his last fling made ap-
plication to purchase under the stone
and timber act and that his last state
ment was fraudulent. The ruling says:
with your letter of November 29,
1902, you transmitted protest filed
November I8, 1902, ny John B. Ander-
son against the timber and stone claim
entry of Jas. S. Armstrong, made Novem-
ber s. 1902, for the east z of northwest
4 section "a, and southeast 4 Of south
west 4 southwest a of southeast = g,
sec '27, township AZ, uorth range 2, east,
alleging:
THAT on June 20, 1899, James S. Arm
strong made application to purchase, un'
der the timber and stone act, the north
west a of northwest 4 section 3, town
ship a., range I, east, and south a Of
southeast 4, section "a; southwest \ Of
southwest 4, section IS, township AZ,
north range /, east; that proof was never
made for said tract; that again on the
27th day of August, of the same year,
and November 23rd of the same year, he
again offered his filing for the same tract;
that the last two dates he filed a sworn
statement in which he set forth that he
had never made an application hereto
fore under the timber and stone act
In February, 1901, he filed his sworn
statement and application to purchase
the land in controversy, which said
sworn statement was fraudulent in this,
that he had three times used his right to
purchase under said act, and for that
reason his application was Of no effect;
that on November 3 1902, he made final
proof for the land in controversy, for
which c. f. No. 3o9I was issued, where
| fore, protestant prays that he be allowed
to contest the right of said Armstrong to
purchase said land
"rhe affidavit is not corroborated and
is therefore rejected.
"In order to avoid further litigation
upon the same charge it is proper to say
that the affidavit does not state cause
of action against the entry. 1t is moi
true that Armstrong has three times used
his right to purchase, under said act and
for tina, reason his said application is o
no effect.
The filing OF An application TO pnr
chase under The timber and stone &C
without perfectng that application by
submitting proof and paying the pur
chase money, does not preclude an ap
plication from making IA subsequent ap
plication for the same or other lands.
1.-The right to make timber lant
entry is not affected by the fact that tn
application, prior thereto, applied for
different tract and upon proper ground
withdrew said application. (P;etkiewie

ratus stands not more than twenty-five or thirty feet distant from one of three bronze figures surrounding the base of the pedestal on which stands the statue of the martyred President Gothic bar barian clad in an attitude which suggests that he has just awakened from deep sleep, and is looking toward the horizon at the rising sun of a new and better era. Such, no doubt was the design of the sculptor, but the appearance of the scene of the steam dredge has made pos sibe quite a different interpretation of the figure. It suggests that MT. Barba- rian has been awakened from deep sleep by this noisy municipal engine, and. in his utter surprise and consternation at the sight of such an outlandish mon- ster, is about to break and run away from it with all his might. This latter impression is rendered all the stronger by reason of the fact that the figure is in the posture of one rising from 8 reclining position, and that it's head Is turned, gazing directly at the dredge and the little pish-psh puffs of steam.

To all appearance, MT. C. W. Hopkins was enjoying perfect health when he came up for life insurance examination. A prominent figure in the tobacco indus try of the country, general western agent of large manufacturers, MT Hopkins Is, perhaps, the best-known tobacco man in the west. He applied for a policy of $1O0OO in the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany of New York confident that 1t would be issued to him.
 He first learned that he had kidney trouble when the agent of the company wrote him that he was rejected on ac- count of Bright's disease 1t came like a thunder clap out of a clear sky. T.

 Though MT Hopkins sought relief in- stantly, consulting the best medical au- thoritles he grew rapidly worse and was finally given up to die. A friend suggest ed that he take Warmers Safe Cure and nothing else.
 After using 1t through several months, MT Hopkins was restored to perfect health and secured a policy of $10,000 In the Mutual Life Insurance Company which had previously rejected him.
 IN HIS LETTER HE SAYS
 "In 1884 I was refused policy in the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, on account of kidney trouble, which soon after became so severe that l was compelled to take to my bed. l employed the best doctors. who diag- nosed my trouble as a case of Bright's disease and pronounced 1t incurable, giv- ing me but one year to live.

Amusing Spectacle to Be Seen at Gar

From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 An amusing spectacle may be seen by passengers travelling on the green trolley cars at the Garfield statue and monument at the junction of First street and Mary land avenue southwest. Most people have heard the story of the pretentious but rather impecunious family whose mem bers filled their front and side lawns with statuary, chief among which was a mar ble figure of Powers Greek slave. The household economy and exigencies were such, however. that the family had to have it's washing done at home, and, as yard space was limited, the lines had to be stretched and the garments hung out to dry at no great distance from the Greek slave" The, attitude of this statue coupled with the sight of the clothes fluttering in the cold November winds, was ridiculousiy suggestive to passersby who in view of the frosty weather, could not but help sympathize with the Greek slave as she gazed earnestly at the dry ing garments
 A similar mixture of art and utility may now be seen at the Garfield monu- ment To the south of this statue a portable steam dredge is at work clean ing out a neighboring sewer. The appa-

BRAIN FOOD
Is of Little Benefit Unless 1t Is Dl-
 uested,

geStco.
 Nearly everyone will admit that as a nation we eat too much meat and too lit- tie of vegetables and the grains.
 For business men, office men and clerks. and in fact everyone engaged in sedentary or indoor occupations, grains. milk and vegetables are much more healthful.
 Only men engaged in a sever out door manual labor can live on heavy meat diet and continue in health.
 As a general rule, meat once day Is sufficient for all classes of men, women and children and grains, fruit and veget- ables should constitute the bulk of food eaten.
 But many of the most nutritious foods are difficult of digestion and it Is of no use to advise brain workers to eat largely of grains and vegetables where the diges- tion is too weak to assimilate them properly.
 It is always best to get the best results from our food that some simple and harmless digestive should be taken after meals to assist the relaxed digestive or gans, and several years experience have proven Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very safe, pleasant and effective diees- tive and remedy which may be taken daily with the best results.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be called a patent med cine. as they Jo not act on the DoWels nor Kay particular organ but only on the foJi eaten. They supply what weak stomach lack, pepsin diastase and by stimulating the gastric glands increase the natural secretion of hydrochloris acid.
 People who make a daily practice Of taking one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal are sure to have perfect digestion which means perfect health
 There is no danger of forming an in- furious habit as the tablets contain abso- lutely nothing but natural digestive; CO., caine morphine and similar drugs have no place in a stomach medicine and Stuart's Digestive Tablets are certainly the best known and most popular of all stomach remedies.
 Ask your druggist for fifty cent pack age of Stuart,s Dyspepsia Tablets and after a weeks use note the improvement in health appetite and nervous energy.
