! >,fST OF LAND
, CLAIM INVOLVES A
QUARTER SECTION
TITLE TO VALUABLE LAND NEAR
MEACHAM TO BE SETTLED
BY U. S. OFFICE.

Much interest is being taken by
stockmen Of the county in a contest
claim to a quarter section Of land
near Meacham, preliminary evidence
having been taken here yesterday be-
fore Justice Of the Peace Joe Parkes.
The case was postponed yesterday aft
ernoon until Saturday that an addi-
tional witness might De called in for
the contestant. Circuit Court Re-
porter Beckwith took 100 pages Of
testimony yesterday and this, with
the additional testimony expected to
be taken on Saturday, will be sub
milted to the United States land Of
flee at La Grande for adjudication.
The contest claim was filed last
June by Willis Burchitt, a stockman
Of the Meacham country, against the
heirs Of Durance c. owen Owen is
alleged to have filed on the claim
in September, 1903. 1t is claimed by
the contestant that the laws applying
80 the taking up of claims have not
been complied with The defense, on
the other hand, AYERS that the land
is non -tnlable and that all the regu-
lations applying to grazing land have
been carried out and the land, there's
fore should revert to them.
Burchitt claims there are 20 acres
Of fertile soil on the claim, that this
has not been fenced nor cultivated,
nor have the defendants at any time
lived upon the land as required by
law Roscoe l. Keator, attorney for
the contestant, attempted to estab-
lish yesterday the alleged fact that
other stockmen, said TO be friends Of
the defendants, were interested in the
land and that one Of them had made
an offer to spend 4. large sum of
money to keep the contestant from
gaining possession Of It, II was al
legged that the defendants would
therefore be able TO clear a neat little
sum by selling the land later to these
stoekmen for grazing purposes
The defense denies these allega-
tions and AYERS thar Gvery reahire-
ment has been earFid out In accord
anc with law, that the land is not fit
for cultivation but is essentially graz
ing land only and that the contestant
IA trying 10 get it for his own use.

the contestant were Willis Burchitt

Headache of my kind, is caused by
Observation-Disclosures means self
poisoning Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, call
ed headache. You become nervous,
despondent, sick, feverish and miser-
able, your meals sour and almost nau-
seate you. Then you resort to acetan-
Hide, aspirin or the bromides which
temporarily relieve but do not rid the
blood of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with teaspoon
ful of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys-
tenn and cure you of headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is
inexpensive, harmless as sugar, and
almost tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath or have colds,
indigestion, biliousness. constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water cure to rid your
system of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
