PACIFIC Land SCANDALS.

Oregon Newspapers Talk About the Stu
pendous Gland Graft"

Washington, Oct. 21.-Only gener-
al confirmation can be secured here
of the, report of extensive fraudulent
practices in the securing of public
lands On the Pacific coast. The inte-
rior department officials have been con-
vinced for year that there were vari-
Gus combinations of spectators seek
ing control of the public lands for
their own purposes, and more recent
ly number of special agents have
been working in the field to secure
evidence which would assist in stop
ping the frauds. A common plan Of
operation on the part of the specula-
tors is to buy State lands inclosed in
areas which are liable to become parts
of forest reservations. These it is said
they often secure: for one or two dol
lars an acre, whereas, when the reser-
vations are created the value is in
creased to five or six dollars per acre.
Governor Chamberlain of Oregon, is
now in Washington conferring with the
Secretary of the Interior concerning
these land transfers. He claims that
the State has lost a considerable sum
in this way, and is endeavoring to Sc

Secretary Hitccock declines to dis
cuss the question, but says that be will

HOW 1T LOOKS IN OREGON.
Portland. Ore, Oct.-21.-The Ore
gonian today says:
The Government has unearthed
stupendous Gland graft that has been
carrying on a business in every we'll
timbered area on the Pacific slope.
This ring not only has acquired
''base'' lands by dummies and other
fraudulent means, but has debauched

at Washington agents whose duties
were to "leak information about pro-
posed reserves and other profitable
matters and, by use of money, has in
fuenced placing of reserve boundaries

The central figures in this conspir-
acy are said to be in San Francisco.

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked-in what
way are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
Tablets superior to the ordinary cathartic

easier and more pleasant to take and their
effect is so gentle and so agreeable that
one hardly realizes that it is produced by

violation of the statute prohibiting

RYDALE'S TONIC
a SSRL CURE FCR
NJ = Ts q. q e e

It has recently been discovered thar
the germs thcs produce Malaria, breed
and multiply III the intestines and from
there spreaS throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria IS hard to cure by
the old method Of treatment. Quinine,
Iron. etc. stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood, but DO not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freeing
them from ali disease breeding mi
crobes. 1t also kills the germs that
nfest the veins and arteries. 1t drives
rom the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.

These returns will be from $50
to SIoo per acre and almost all
profit. Another important item
for consideration is the fact that
much of this seed, especially of
the musk melon, can be produced
with less water than the ordinary
farm products. For this reason it
is meeting with an especially
cordial reception in the Omer
country where the water supply
is somewhat uncertain, owing to
the caprices Of the Apishapa creek.
About eighty acres have been
pledged in that settlement. II is
doubtless safe to assume that this
means an addition OF SIS. 900 to
the value OF Fowler's agricultural
products for this year alone, while
its value as an advertiser and a
future asset is difficult TO compute.

There was not the anticipated trouble

this is due to the fact that most of

Miss Louise Wilson of Sonoma, who has
been a teacher in the girls School at
Kusaie, Caroline islands, for ten or
eleven years, also returned, on her sec

return to the missionary field. Willie
Chanson, the ten-year-old son of a mis-
sionary on one of the islands. came with
Miss Wilson for the purpose of attend

The only news of interest brought by
the Carrie and Annie related to the

found on the wreck, and it was desti-

crew having evidently left the vessel !
before she went on the reef. No masts
were standing, hence it is not known
the hapless vessel was a
bark or ship. She was of
wood, however, carried a cargo of lum-
ber and went ashore on the island of
Mile the latter part of March or early
in April. The German authorities at
Jaluit, Marshall islands, sent the
schooner Neptune to investigate the
wreck. The Neptune is soon. to arrive
here.
After leaving here on June 18th last

Gilbert group, and later to the Caro-
