have through their attorney, Hon.
John H. Hall, made application to
the state land board requesting the
members thereof to authorize a suit
to be instituted in the name of the
state Of Oregon against the Warner
Valley Live Stock company to have
cancelled and set aside certain deeds
made by the state land board in 1891
to said Warner Valley Live Stock
company, or it's predecessors in in
terest, but a majority of the state
land board have declined to comply
with the request of the settlers for
the reasons set forth in the records
of the board, to which I now refer
you. AS a minority member of the
state land board l disagreed with the
board and felt then and feel now that
the state land board should have
granted the application of the set
tiers and should have requested you
as attorney-general of the state to
institute proceedings to cancel and
annul the deeds referred to. My rea-
sons for this belief are briefly these:
In 1881 one H. c. Owens applied to
the state land board to purchase as
swamp land tract of about $4,000
acres, in which is included the lands
in relation to which Mr. Morrow and
others desire to have a suit insti-
tuted. Said application was rejected
and in 1883 Owens renewed his ap-
plication and rendered for the first
time 20 per centum of the purchase
price, and this application and ten
der were refused and denied. In
March 1884, Owens again applied to
purchase said lands, and notwith-
standing the fact that between the
first application to purchase and the
last a law had been passed by the
legislature of this state forbidding

of oregon, request you as the attor-
ney-general of the state to institute
a suit in the name of the state against
the present owners of the lands in
controversy, with the end in view Of
ascertaining whether or not they
have been fraudulently obtained from
the state Provided, however, the
parties directly in interest give sat
isfactory security to indemnify the
state against the cost and expenses
that may be incurred by such suit, as
provided by section 307 of Belllnger

any one person from acquiring more
than 800 acres of land, this applica-
tion was allowed, and on the Sd day
of April, 1884, a certificate of sale of
said lands was issued to Owens con
ditioned upon his reclaiming the
same. Later, Owens conveyed his
interest in the lands to c. N. FELTON,,
of California, and through mesne con-
veyances the Warner Valley Live
Stock company is> now the owner
thereof. In about 1886 j. L. Morrow
and numerous other persons under
took to, and did settle on about 5000
acres of land embraced within the
Owens applications; improve, culti-
vate and built homes on the same
and are now in actual possession
thereof. 1t does not appear that any
of these settlers ever had a hearing
before the state land board. For
nearly 20 years they have contested
the claim of the Warner Valley Live
Stock company and its predecessors
! in interest in the federal land offices
with varying degrees of success.
Some times decisions have been rem
dereI in their favor, and some times
against them.
My attention was called to this con-
test by these settlers nearly a year
ago, and / have given their claims
and the claims of the Warner Valley
Live Stock company my very careful
ana painstaking consideration, and
so much impressed was l with the
belief that these settlers had not had
such hearing as | felt they were
entitled to as citizens OF this state
that when | was notified by the COM
missioner of the general land Office
at Washington that the lands in con-
troversy had been clear listed to the
state as swamp land, | requested that
no patent should issue until / had
Investigated the merits of the con-
troversy between the conflicting
claimants. The swamp land act pro-
vldes in substance that the patent to
swamp lands shall issue at the re.
quest OF the governor Notwthstand-
ing the fact that | did not request
the issuance of the patent, but on
the contrary vigorously protested to
the secretary of the interior against
the issuance thereof until the mat
ter could be investigated by me, the
patent did issue and contrary TO all
precedent was not delivered to the
offiee Of the state and never has been
nor has it ever been recorded On
the contrary, / was advised by the
department that the patent had been
placed IN the hands of the Warner
Valley Live Stock company.
Under all these circumstances /
feel that the settlers on the land In
controversy had a right to have their
cause heard. tried and determined In
our own courts, untrammeled by any
OF the "red tape" methods OF the
department OF the interior over the
doors of which the plain. everyday,

hearing OF their cause.

der the supposition that he intended to
commit suicide by jumping from the
pontoon bridge. The man.. who says

merely giving an exhibition of how
people committed suicide. He will be
held until his exact condition is deter
mined. He had no papers on his per-
son except slip of paper on which
was written u. 3. Walker. Sheldon,

The result was that in an absurdly
short time, st. Jacobs Oil not only dis
appeared from the newspapers, but
from the drug stores, the homes and
actually from the memory of the peo-
pie. One of the most valuable medici-
nal trademarks in America went up

The Great Importance of the Trademark and How to
Realize Upon It's Value.

the goods are right.
Any man who makes a good article
Is missing tremendous opportunity if
he does not advertise his trademark
and keep it continually before the pub
lic
The manufactures who does not do
this is at the mercy of the jobber. He
is dependent upon the jobber to very
uncomfortable degree, and if that gen.
tleman so desires he can make any
particular line of goods take a back
seat.
If the public does not demand cer-
tain make, the retailer is Indifferent.
The retailer does not demand the
goods Of the jobber. The jobber can
do as he pleases about pushing them.
Some manufacturers have met with
large degree of success by eliminat-
ing the jobber altogether and going
straight to the consumer with their
advertising and filling the orders of
the retailers themselves.
In some lines of business this works
very we'll, but, as a general proposition,
such a course, having, as 1T must, the
result of making an enemy of the JOB
Der, is bad policy.
In business, it is best to have no
enemies at all-not even among ones
war upon so powerful an element as
that represented by the jobbers is, in
most instances something to be avoid
ed. 1t is much better to let the jObber
in for his share, keep his good will, and,
if possible, earn his active support.
Any brand can be pOpulariZed, and
the trade emanating from it be ex-
panded without in any way getting
into difficulties with the jobber, by a
judicious and persistent advertising OF
that brands trademark.
In order to get the most out of a
trademark, it is necessary to make the
public understand and believe that this
particular trademark stands for GER
tain most desirable qualities, and that
to secure those qualities it is abso-
lutely necessary to call for the goods
bearing this brand and to insist upon
having them.
Then, too, the same facts must be
impressed on the retailer. He must
understand and believe that the partic-
ular goods identified by the trademark
are necessary complement to his
stock if he would give his patrons the
service they deserve and thus build up
his trade. 1t will materially assist i'll
thus convincing him, if the fact that
the owner of the trademark is contin-
ually advertising it, thus aiding in the
retailers sales.
Every owner of a trademark should
realize that, provided the goods to be
sold be what they should be, there is
absolutely no limit to the success that
the goods may achieve provided the
owner can be broadminded and ener-
~getic enough not only to stamp his
trademark upon his goods, but to stamp
it indelibly upon the minds of the pub
lie as well.
Nor should the owner of a trade
mark be content to stop advertising
his trademark or brand when once it is
we'll established in the public mind, for
the fate of advertisers who have done
so in the past is an object lesson to the
wary which should not be overlooked.
Not many years ago, st. Jacobs Oil
was one of the best known liniments
in America and one of the best sellers.

A trademark represents a firms or
business houses excuse for being in
business. That is to say, it stands for
those characteristics or qualities of
their goods which makes them SAL
able.
If the trademark be simply put on
the goods and on the firms stationery,
a very poor use is being made Of one of
firms most valuable assets.
A trademark or brand is the identi-
flying stamp by which the public can
tell one kind of goods from another,
and manufacturer or dealer is not
doing; his full duty by himself unless
ne educates the public up to the point
of believing that its best interests will
be served by purchasing goods bearing
his brand.

may be raised to almost any degree if
