J. f. MEEKER ESTATE BEATEN IN
SUPREME COURT ON OWNER.
SHIP OF 112 EAST MAIN.
HEIRS CLAIMED THEIR
INHERITANCE RIGHT
J. F. Meeker and T. Brown Secured
Property Many Years Ago, and
Meeker Later Acquired Browns In
terest-suit Brought to Establish
Claim Few Years Ago.

The supreme court of Iowa today af-
flrmed the case of Wescott VS. Meeker.
appellant. and by the decision the busi-
ness building at liz Fast Main street
occupied by Robertson & Strub. is de-
clared to be the property of the chill
dren of the late Alvin Wescott, of this
city The property is worth somewhere
around $4,000.
Many years ago A. Wescott's father
owned the property, which was secured
by the late j. F. Meeker and Timothy
Brown, the latter now of Denver, Colo
Later Meeker bought the Brown in
terest, and for years had been con-
sidered the owner Of the building. max
ing extensive improvements, and pay
ing taxes and insurance.
Make Claim to Property.
About three years ago Leon Wescott,
then of this city, but now of Califor-
mia, entered suit claiming the proper
ty, alleging that he and the other chill
dren were owners of the property by
inheritance. and alleging that the deed
under which Meeker took the property
was not valid. The case was heard
about two years ago in the district
court, and he decision was in favor OF
the plaintiffs.
Raises New Question.
The ruling of the supreme court will
now raise another question. in al
probability, that of occupying claim
ants rights for Improvements. The
property would not be worth toda.
what it is had it not been for the i'm.
provements made upon it, and the
court likely will be asked to determine
the rights of the Meeker estate in the
premises.

Make Trial EIiaht.

Struble, Oct 27-walter Modem
hauer, to whom reference has hereto
fore been made as a genius of no mean
ability, has spent most of his spare
time the past summer in building a
flying machine of the monoplane type.
Walter was in town the other day and
took home with him a four cylinder
sixteen horsepower gasoline engine
which will furnish power for the ma
chine. He says the different parts are
nearly ready to be assembled and a
trial fight will be made in the near
future. Considering the fact that Mr..
Moldenhauer has made motor cycle
and an automobile for his own use,
there is probability as to his success
in this undertaking.

INCREASES WEIGHT QUICKLY
Simple Way for tho Thin and Pale to
Be Plump and Rosy.


Samose can hardly be termed med
lcine; It Is in reality flesh forming
food. Taken before or after meals, it
mingles with the food you eat, enables
1t to assimilate and readily digest, so as
to make rich blood and pleasing plump
ness.
After Samose has been used a week
or ten days a noticeable gain in weight
Is seen. The sallow complexion will be-
come rosy, the sunken cheeks will have
4 rudy glow, the eyes will be bright,
the breath sweet and the step elastic.
Mcbride & Will Drug Company's
customers have told them Of the re-
markable results following the use OF
samose, the great flesh forming food,
and the are so thoroughly convinced Of
it, reliability that they are selling 1T

fund the money if it does not do all
that is claimed for it. Sent postpaid

George Welsh State immigration Commissioner, Says
Land-Hungry Are Seeking Minnesota Timber Lands
Sale in Bemdji Takes Place June %.

trami county, which will be held in
this city on Wednesday, June 23rd,
and indications are that there will
be healthy bidding on the land
offered for sale at that time.
Ten thousand acres of land will
be offered for sale in Bemidji and it
is expected that State Auditor Iver-
son will personally conduct the sale.
AS these lands are practically cut
over timber lands the subjoined
article, taken from pamphlet
recently issued by George Welsh,
commissioner of immigration, en-
titled minnesota Timber Lands"
will be interesting:
Should You Own Land?
The permanent success of any
country depends on the distribution
of its landed property among citizens
of that country. The men who own
land and live on it, converting the
fertility of the soil into tangible
wealth, constitute the backbone of
any country.
The people of the United States
are coming more and more to
realize the fact that real independ-
ence is found on the farm, and dur
ing the past few years there has
been an unprecedented demand for
good farm lands. In all parts of
the United States there is going on
at present a general leveling up of
values of farm lands. Good agri-
cultural land is steadily increasing in
value in almost direct ratio with de-
velopment and age of that country.
During past five years this leveling
tendency has been especially notice.
able in the midWestern and Western
states. The speculative value of
these lands is almost thing of
the past, and the point is reached
at present where the annual returns
per acre will hardly bring much
more than good interest on the in
vestment. When this condition in
affairs is reached all over the country
there will be a steady development
Of the tenantry system, which means
that the opportunity for man of
moderate means to purchase will be
gone forever.
