BALM OF SCRIPTURE
HEALING PROPERTIES OF PINE
KNOWN TO ANCIENTS.
Oil Of the White Pine Tree Used suo-
cessfulIy by Physicians In Treat
ing Consumptive Patients.

The Oil of the Pine Tree is sup
posed to be the balm of Scripture. 1t
contains great medicinal properties
and was regarded with the utmost
esteem by the ancients, and to the
present day is peculiarly priced by
the people of the East.
A noted authority on diseases of the
throat n lungs, who established a
camp for consumptives In the Pine
Woods of Maine, says that his entire
treatment consisted of fresh air,
nourishing food and the Pure Virgin
Oil of the White Pine Trees, mixed
with Whisky and Glycerine in the fol-
lowing proportions:
Virgin Oil of Pine Pure) ..Hoz.
b!yCeflHe Z
Good Whisky .............. s"
Used in t~easpoonful doses every four
hours.
1t is claimed the above mixture will
heal and strengthen the lungs. break
up a cold in twenty-four hours, and
cure any cough hal is durable.
The ingredients can be secured
from any good prescription druggist
at small cost, and can be easily mixed
in your own home.
Virgin Oil of Pine (Pure) is put up
only in h~alf-ounce Walls for dispensing.
Each vial is securely sealed in a
round wooden case with engraved
wrapper with the name-Virgin Oil
of Pine (Pure), prepared only by
Leach Chemical Co, Cincinnati, o.
plainly printed thereon. There are
many rank limitations of Virgin Oil
Of Pine (Pure), which are put out
under various names, such as Con
centrated Oil of Pine. Pine Bal
sam, etc. Never accept these as a
substitute for the Pure Virgin Oil of
Pine. as they will invariably produce
nausea and never effect the desired
result.

GROSHEN TO
 HAVE LAND Judge Cole Decides in Favor of Original
 Settler LOSE Land Case of Exceptional Import anee and Interest Brought to
 a Close

The case of Floren P. Groshen of Brawley brought to regain possession of tract of land near Brawley which was tried last Saturday was decided this week by Judge Cole in favor of MT. Groshen. An order to dispossess the defendants in the case was issued and a deputy sheriff served the writ of ejectment Wednesday.
 Hundreds of land owners throughout the valley had been watching this case with keen in- terest as it involved an import ant point and might establish a precedent fox many other similar cases. During the trial the court room was crowded with interest ed listeners. The chief center of interest was the defendant who was on the stand for several hours. Simply and pathetically he told the story of his hardships in endeavoring to cultivate his land and get a living in the face of adversity. He filed upon the land, which was an excess strip, nearly four years ago, building a house, planting trees and in oth- CT ways improving the property. His troubles began when the flood of two years ago destroyed the ditches and cut off his water supply and eliminated about three months ago when, during a visit to Colorado, he learned that two squatters had taken possession of his land and had built a tent house in which to live. The land, with the improve ments which he had made repre- sented practically all that he had in the world so he brought the suit against the squatters and by the decision rendered this week is again in possession.

A Splendid Entertainment

The Garber-Howe musical en- tertainment given at the Opera House last Thursday night was a splendid affair and was well pat ronized, showing conclusively that the people of the valley ap- preciate and will attend a high class entertainment. This musi- cal was given under the auspices of the ministerial Union of the Imperial Valley, and much credit is due this association for the efforts they have put forth in securing a series of winter en- tertainments which, judged by the first, promise to be all that is promised. The, door receipts were gratifying, while the num- Der of season tickets sold have been large. The next entertain ment will be some time next month.

 There are a great many talent ed musicians in the valley who will lend their aid and support for an evening of refined enter tainment, and it is practically an assured thing this effort on the part of those who are interesting themselves will meet with decid- ed success. Watch for the an- nouncement next week.

REPUBLICAN
 PRIMARIES Central Committeeman For Imperial Co.
 Chosen FIRST VOTE A TIE Between w. E. WiIsie and M. W. COnkling at Fl Centro. In
 Other Towns
FIRST VOTE A TIE

Primary elections for the pur- pose of naming a Republican County Central committee for Imperial county were held in the various precincts of the county, Saturday afternoon. In most places there was no contest, the closest balloting being in Fl Gen. tro, where a tie vote necessitated a second ballot. John M. Eshle- man, Esq, was chosen on the first ballot, but for the second member to which Ell Centro is entitled M. w. Conkling and w. B. Wilsie were tied. The second vote was heavier than the first and resulted in a victory for MT. Conkling by two votes.
 Following are the members elected, so far as returns have been received.
 El Centro, John M. Eshleman, M. w. Conkling.
 Holtville, Major Patten, Major Cook.
 Silsbee, Joseph N. Woodward.
 Imperial, L. F. Farnsworth, R. H. Benton.

 Calexico, w. F. McCullom, Roy McPherrin.
 Brawley, W. T. Dunn, Fred A. Stahl.
 Laguna, George A. Trumbo.
 Hanlon, w. H. Buck.
 It is expected that a call will be issued in about two weeks for a meeting of the members elected and at that time the organization will be completed.
 The Democrats of Imperial county will also elect central committee in the near future but at the present time it is difficult to determine just what percents age of the voters of the new county will be controlled by eith- CT party.

BAND ORGANIZES
Officers Elected at Meeting Last
 Wednesday Night

A meeting of the band boys was held last Wednesday evening in R. E. /Jauman's office and the following officers were elected:
 M. A. Stover, president.
 R. P. Moore secretary.
 R. E.. Jauman, business mana ger.
 F. A. Griswold, treasurer.
 Prof. A. Scarpa, director.
 Another meeting will be held next Tuesday evening and it is requested that all the boys bring their musical instruments for a rehearsal.
Imperial Valley press., 1907-10-26

The organization of the Fl Gen. tro band will be heralded with delight by the people, and that Prof. Antonio Searpa will again be the director is a source of much qualification. Prof. Scarpa was the director last year and won a great many friends throughout the valley,
 The list of officers chosen for this year means success from ev- cry point of view. They are all earnest workers and have the interest of a good band at heart.
 Every business man in El Cen tro should support liberally the move to maintain a frst-class band at this place.

Important Letter From Land Office in
 Washington
TO GEN. PRESCOTT
Entries for Desert Lands Only Can be Made. All Other Appli-
 cations Rejected

The following letter which has been received-by Register Pres colt of Los Angeles from the land office in Washington ex- plains specifically the status of desert lands and what entries will be accepted:
 REGISTER AND RECEIVER
 Los Angeles, Cal. Gentlemen:-
 I am in receipt of your letter of July A, 1907, relative to the proper disposition by you of ap- plications to make entry of lands within the territory known as the Imperial Valley.
 The Act of July 1, 1902 (32 Stat, 728), directed a resuryey of townships 13, IA, 15 and Is east, and fractional townships IF south, ranges 15 and 16 east, s. B. M.
 By telegram "E' of March 30, 1906, this office directed you to
 Suspend entries in townships thir
 teen to sixteen, South, ranges
 eleven to sixteen, East and in town
 ships IT, South, ranges fifteen to
 Sixteen, E. s. B. M. after March
 31, 1906.
 Letter "G" of June 19, 1906, advised you that it was not in- tended, by said telegram, to suspend existing entries or to re- lieve entrymen from complying with the law during the period of suspension, but that it was in- tended to instruct you to receive and suspend all applications to enter presented after the said date. and you were directed
 to receive and suspend, without further action all applications here after presented for entries in said townships; and you are further di- rected to at once notify all persons now holding entries of any charac- ter within said townships, upon which final proof has not yet been offered, that they will be expected to hereafter comply with the re .quirements of the law and make their proof within the prescribed time. You are also directed that when final proofs are offered under any of these entries, you will re- ceive same, and if otherwise correct, you will at once transmit them to this office, and paymen hereunder will not be required until after the surveys have been completed.
 Under Letter "G" of May "A, 1907, the order of suspension of said lands from entry was modi- fled so as to permit desert lana entry thereof the same as though the lands were unsurveyed". In reply to a letter from MT. F. w. Lake, of Oakland, Cali fornia, asking if the lands in Inn perial Valley 'are with held at this time from ordinary entry applying to surveyed lands, and also, If the said lands are

County Commissioners Meet in tie
 Valley

The commissioners for the purpose of deciding financial affairs between San Diego and Imperial counties are again in the valley. They met Wednes- day morning at Calexico and Thursday they met with the su- pervisors at Fl Centro. They went to Brawley Friday.

 1907, stated that
 a resurvey of the lands in ques-
 tion is now in progress, and until
 such re-survey has been made and
 the plats thereof officially filed in
 the district land office entries or se-
 lections, authorized to be made for
 surveyed land only should not be
 permitted
 A copy of this letter to MT. Lake was sent you with letter e" of July 19, 1907.
 Your letter of July A, 1907, states that you are
 receiving and suspending all ap-
 plications in thattenitory save des-
 ert entries which are received as
 though for unsurveyed lands,
 and that you do not under stand that the letter to MT. Lake changes the situation. "
 These lands occupy the status of unsurveyed lands, for swhich reason you have been authorized to accept desert land entries therefor. The lands will not be subject to ordinary entry or se- lection until resurveyed and the plats officially filed. (Gen. Cir. January 25, 1904, p. W.) Rule 9 of the regulations of April 25, 1907 (35 L. D. 537), prescribes that where a list of state selec- tions is received in the district office, by mail, prior to the day the lands applied for are open to settlement, entry or selection, such list will be rejected as pre- filed. The same action should be taken if such list were so presented in person by an agent of the state, and l know of no reason why applications for en- tries to be made for surveyed land should not be treated the same way.
 While you may have been jus tiied, in view of the language used in the instructions "G" of June 19, 1906, in receiving and suspending applications to enter or select the lands in question pen ding resurvey, yet, by a careful re-reading of said letter, it will be observed that it was written in response to an inquiry as to desert land entries exclusively, and the instructions given were only intended to apply to such entries.
 You are accordingly directed to reject all pending applications (other than for entries and loca- tions authorized to be made for lands) to enter or select said lands, presented sub- 5equent to March 31, 1906, and to take like action in the matter of applications hereafter present. ed.
 Yours Respectfully,
 FRED DENNETT
