Chamber OF Commerce of Portland
Defends Land Grant.
Realizing that unless an amendment
"a made to the Fulton resolution to
bring suit to recover land granted to
the Oregon & California railroad, ex-
empting from the action the innocent
purchasers of such land, there will
be heavy loss OF money and unending
complications. the Chamber OF Com
merce has taken up the matter, says
the Telegram. The Chamber of Com
merce, through President c. F. Swi-
CERT and Secretary e. c. Gitner, this
morning sent the following telegram
to Representative Frank w. Mondell;
1.-THE Fulton joint resolution, d.
recting the attorney general to COM
mence suit to annul the title of the
Oregon & California land grant, unless
provision is made that innocent pur-
chasers be excluded from the scope
of this action, would result In the most
Widespread disaster to western Ore
gon.
Hundreds Of settlers, farmers,
frultgrowers and even townsites, have
been located on these railroad lands
and the Chamber of Commerce Of
Portland most urgently asks that you
specifically eliminate any danger of
bringing these innocent purchasers in
to any legal complications endanger-
ing titles to their properties.
"Public opinion heartily favors
resolution with above exceptions"
After the Fulton resolution was
fairly started on its way with the OBJ
ject Of recovering the railroad land,
someone discovered that the resolu-
ton was two-edged sword, for 1t
would not only be taking the land
away from the railroads, but also
from all people who had purchased
ID from the corporation. 1t is to cure
this defect that the Chamber of Com
merce is now interesting itself.

Time to Upbui ilding Health.
There Is no excuse today for any
person. unless tainted with an incur
able disease, remaining sickly, with
the great advance in medical discov-
cries and the growing popularity OF
physical culture.
In the diseases of digestion and nu-
triton, for example. an acknowledged
specific treatment has been found In
Mi-o-na. 1t is relied upon as cer-
talnty in relieving the worst troubles
of digestion and assimilation, and
making a complete cure.
People suffering with headaches,
palpitation, sleeplessness, bad taste in
the mouth, coated tongue, distress af-
ter eating, specks before the eyes,
nervousness and general debility, and
any other of the many distressing re-
suits of a weakened stomach, should
profit by the discovery OF Mi-o-na
stomach tablets.
Tallman and company have seen
so many cures by Mi-o-na of stom-
ach and general rundown state Of
health that they are firm believers in
the power of this remedy to cure
practically every case and they show
this faith by giving a guarantee with
every 50-cent box of Mi-o-na to re-
fund the money unless It does all that
is claimed for It, They take the whole
risk, and Mi-o-na will not cost you
penny unless 1t cures.

Salem.
Complalnants allege that Dunbar,
during his service in office. collect
ed fees for services amounting to an
aggregate of over 100000 which, It

suit pending against former Secretary

Dunbar.
1t is stated that eX-Secretary Dun

at S45, 900, and that Mr.. Kincaid also

The Portland Evening Telegram re-
views the situation in the state with
regard to statement No. and the
popular election of United States sem
ators in the following manner:
Whether statement No. 1 will car
ry the state or whether the anti
statement crowd, organized by Beach,
Bailey, Hodson and Sichel, will tri-
umph, has reached a point where the
politicions are figuring. The specula-
| ting appears to be confined princi-
pally to the ants, who are trying to
dope out" the situation to obtain an
idea of what may be expected.
According to the antis, statement
No. / will not be successful in the
large centers of population, but wher-
ever the population is thin will pre-
vail.
OF the 33 counties in Oregon, five
have gone on record at republican
conceptions as opposed to the state
ment; five more are almost certain to
go against 1t, and seven others are
against the statement This accounts
for IT counties. The remaining 16
counties, while not carefully cam
cassed, are considered for the most
part favorable to the statement, but
they are not strong with votes. The
antls have forecasted the situation
roughly as follows:
! On record as opposed-Marion,
Multnomah, Lane, Douglas and Yam
| hill.
Sure to oppose-Clatsop. Wasco,
| Umatilla, Union and Baker.
viii probably oppose-Lake, Klam-
ath, Josephine, Jackson, Washington,
Malheur and Harvey.
Committed to statement No. l.
Clackamas.
Probably favorable to statement
Crook, Gillian, Coos, Curry, Tilla-
nook Columbia, Benton, Grant. Lin
coin, Linn, Morrow, Polk, Sherman,
Wallowa and Wheeler.
The heaviest vote of the state is
centered in Multnomah, Marion and
one or two other counties, which have
expressed themselves as opposed to
the statement. This has been accom-
plished by the Beach brigade of Port
land, whose members have been writ
ing to political friends in large towns
and these have succeeded in packing
the county conventions with dele
gates opposed TO the statement.
The statement believers have not
organized and the opposition has, so
that the latter has made the best
showing to date.

Record Run on Canal Work During
the Past Month.

Up to March l, 2S,414,9S4 cubic
yards of excavation had been taken
from the Panama canal route, says a
Washington dispatch.
This is just one-fifth of the entire
amount that was estimated May 1,
1904, that would be required to be
eXcavated to complete the canal. viz:
142, 100000 cubic yards in round num-
bers. should the work proceed at the
present rate. It is estimated the re-
naming excavation would be COM
pleted in three yeaIs.
However, 1t is understood that the
work of excavation will not be pushed
to completion, but that meanwhile
construction of locks will proceed, the
intention of the committee being to
finish all parts Of the canal construc-
ton at about the same time.
Notwithstanding that there were
two less working ways in February
than in January, the amount of ex-
cavation on the canal was 733,312 GU
bic yards greater, the total excavation
for February being 2,645,SS0 cubic
yards.
