You don't want ID r~1S remedy when

Its millions of cures in Indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stom

PAYMENT FOR LAND REFUSED.
Title to Purchase from State Can
Not be Perfected For Five Years.

Oklahoma City, Jan. 2.-The Okla
hOma board of land commissioners
refused TO accept the tender of Ma
rion Anderson. who purchased school
land in Payne county on the payment
plan, who offered 10 pay the balance
due the state of $1,74363 The pay
ment was refused on the ground that
the land is in the proven oil and
gas region.
The board has adopted a similar
policy with reeard to all purchasers
of school land who may desire to
pay for their land in full in order to
be in a position to lease for oil and
gas purposes. Attorney Chambers
of the board docs not concede the
purchasers of school land the right
to lease for mineral purposes unless
title has passed to them and this
could not occur within five years,
of date of purchase. even though the
full amount of purchase price were
paid to the state.
The department probably will rec.
ommend to the legislature the pas
sage of law reserving to the state
the mineral rights to any land which
may become valuable for oil or gas.
although the purchaser is only to
have title to the surface.
