Statement by Mrs. Eddy.

Boston.-The following signed state.
ment was given out Monday:
Chestnut Hill, Mass, June T.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
l have the pleasure to report to one
and all of my beloved friends and fol-
lowers that exist in the flesh and am
seen daily by the members of my
household and by those with whom /
have appointments.
Above all this fustian of either de-
nying or asserting the personality and
presence of Mary Baker Eddy stands
the eternal fact of Christian Science
and the honest history of its discov-
erer and founder. 1t is self-evident
that the discoverer of an eternal truth
cannot be temporal fraud.
The cause of Christian Science is
prospering throughout the world and
stands forever as an eternal and DEM
onstratable science, and do not re-
gard the attack upon me as a trial, for
when these things cease to bless they
will cease to occur.
And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love
God, to them who are called accord
ing to His purposes. What shall we
then say to these things? If God be
for us, who can be against us?

1t was true that in his private prac-

missioner of the land Office he had
been consulted in the preparation of
articles Of incorporation under the
law of 1908 which had been approved
by the president and which permitted
the entry of as much as 1850 acres

In this or any other connection he
had given any advice looking to a

Asked about a statement that he
had said that the proper course to
take with the public domain was to
"divide it up among the big corpor-
atins and let people who know how
to make money out of 1t"
Mr.. Ballinger replied: $50 ASST
nine a statement hardly merits q
denial. OF course I made no such
statement. Such a thought could
not be entertained by any normal in
telligence. What I really think III
regard to the public domain and the
conservation of natural resources
may be found in my official reports
as commissioner of the general land
office, and in my present annual re-
port, soon to be published. I have
not only been consistently in the
vanguard of the conservative move
ment, but I have sought to give it
permanence along lines reasonably
within the spirit Of the present law
and to secure adequate additional
laws
He made equally emphatic denial
of a statement that his firm is
known as the Standard Oil legal ad-
visor in Seattle.
Mr.. Ballinger also made response
to a charge that in granting rights
of way to the Hill and Hartman rail-
roads, through the Deschutes Canyon
in Oregon, had rendered impossible
the construction of power plant in
the canyon. Admitting that the de-
partment had given its approval to
the application Mr.. Ballinger said
that this course had been pursued
under the law and in pursuance OF
the wishes of the people of the Sec
ton affected, but not without taking
the precaution of inserting require
ment that when needed for power
plant purposes, each of the railroad
companies should elevate its track
a hundred feet. But this action, he
said, insured to the people Of central
Oregon competing lines of railroad
and at the same time guaranteed the
use of the water power when the
country needs it

MANDAN DEPARTMENT
Double REGISTRY
STORY A FAKE

Aberdeen, S. D., Nov. 19.-United
States landoffice officials here pooh
pooh the story sent cut from LeBeau
to the effect that fifteen persons had
registered more than once in the
Aberdeen land drawing, one register
ing four times, and one who register
ed twice drawing claims on both res
ervations, with the added statement
that the government is preparing to
prosecute the persons for perjury. 1T
is stated here that the records will
not be examined to discover dupl1-
cations of registrations until after
they arrive at Washington, and that
it will require several weeks for land
Office employees to go through the
mass of $4,000 names for duplicates.
It is not likely that any prosecutions
will result If persons are discovered
to have registered twice, the only
punishment that will probably be in
f1icted being that those who register
ed twice and who drew a claim will
not be allowed to file upon it. Judge
Witten's clerks, during their stay
here were occupied in filing away in
alphabetical order the list of appl1-
cants above the 10000 drawn out.
The lists will not be gone over until
after they reach Washington. AS the
work was not completed here until
Saturday night, the lists have hardly
had time to reach the national CAPT.
toll vet, and the only persons who
know whether anyone registered
more than once is the persons who
did the registering.
