TITLES lM SlLETZ
CLOUDED BY COURT

Titles to thousands of acres of
valuable Undiscovered lands in
the Siletz Indian reservation of
Lincoln cOunty'were placed un-
der a cloud today as a result of a
far-reaching decision rendered
by Federal Judge Bean in the
case Of Baldus Gildner. against
Miss Amy Hall, involving a $12,-
200 homestead on the reserva-
ton.
In the case Judge Bean held
that Miss Hall was without right
in the premises and that the land
belonged to Gildner. The case
is the outgrowth of the action OF
the government in closing and
then reopening the SiletZ reser-
vation to settlers, and was the
first of its kind ever tried in a
federal court. As a result of the
decision it is believed that scores
of original settlers who lost
their homesteads on adverse
general land Office rulings sever
al years ago will come forward
and claim as their own the lands
which were later taken up by
sQuatters and to which many
have obtained patents.
Decision in favor of Gildner
was made on the grounds that
the law stipulates that patent to
homestead shall be issued by
the land Office within two years
after proof has been made un-
less protest is filed in the mean
time. In the Siletz case II was
held that no protest was made.
In this connection the govern
ment attempted to show that
such protest had been made, and
as evidence exhibited private re-
ports of special agents to the
general land Office in which sug-
gestions for withdrawal of the
.Siletz lands from settlement
were made. Judge Bean held.
however that confidential re-
ports could not be construed to
a protest.
The present case had its be-
ginning in 1901 when Edward
Haines filed on a homestead
and proved up on it in 1902. He
paid taxes on the property for
six years. In the meantime the
Siletz had been closed to settlers
as a result of the land fraud
cases which stirred the North
west In 1905-06.
In 1908 Miss Hall obtained a
special order from the president
reopening the Siletz to home
'steaders. She filed on the
Haines claim, and as soon as she
had proved up, Gildner, who
mad purchased it, Immediately
filed suit declaring her to be
his trustee. This claim was sub
stantiated by the Bean decision.
There are a number of per-
sons who filed homestead entries
on Siletz land prior to the closing
order. Many of them have let
their rights go by default. There
tare others, however. who have
maintained their position despite
the land Office rulings, and the
decision today establishes a pre-
cedent on which a number prob
ably will begin litigation to re-
cover their homesteads and oust
the squatters.-Telegram.

Aviators Bombard Hospitals.

| With the French Armies in The Field
Aug. 25.-Proof that Germany is delib.
erately attacking field hospitals in aer-
ial raids was obtained today. A German
aviator brought down behind French
lines was found to be carrying photo
graph of the hospital at Vadelaincourt
which plainly showed te Red Cross in
sigma on the roof.
To date the Germans have bombarded
four hospitals in the Verdun region
at Dugby, Mont Hairon, Belrupt and
Vadelaincourt. They have killed 43 nur-
ses and patients and wounded SO. Most
OF their bombs were incendiary. Nearly
always the aviators swept close to earth
and fired machine gun bullets at flee
ing nurses and patients.
Inc French government has bestowed
the Legion of Honor and the war cross
to half dozen women nurses for BRAY
cry during these attacks.

Ito VISIT RELATIVES
MIR. and Mrs. Ralph Harris
Here After Three Years
In Peace River Country

Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Harris, of Peace
River Alberta, have arrived in Salem
on visit to Mrs. Harris IS family, Ntr.
and Mrs. w. A. Liston, 2l5 South l4th
street. Mrs. Harris was Miss Celeste
Llston, and tney were married here ten
years ago, Mr.. Harris coming from
North Yakima, Wash, for the we'd
ding. Mrs. Harris was well known
Salem girl, and was at one time en-
ployed in the Capital Journal office.
Mr.. Harris is a newspaper and pub
licity man, and has been living for the
last three years in the Peace River
country, section of Canada where
agriculture has been carried farther
north than in any country on the Amer
lean Continent, some 10000 American
farmers having located there during
the last five or six years.
Mr.. Harris relates an incident that
recently happened which will be of
much interest to Salem people. This
year there was shipped down the great
Mackenzie river, which drains the great
fur section into the Arctic, IS cases of
Phez manufactured here. Besides this,
Oregon apples are now being shipped
as far north as the Arctic circle to
supply the Hudson Bay trading posts,
the missionaries, and police working
in the North. The Peace River country
is large consumer of Oregon fruit, in
fact, it is not an unusual thing to see
Oregon brands on cases being opened
at the many trading posts.
Mr.. Harris has entirely circumnavi-
gated Alaska by steam and reports that
one can now travel by steam with all
modern luxuries entirely around Alas
ka, going by way of Edmonton, thence
down the Peace and Mackenzie rivers
to Hirschell Island, thence by whaling
boat to Nome, where the regular traffic
steamers can be taken to Seattle.
Many of the world Is tourists who are
now looking to the west for their play
grounds are taking this trip annually. |

where Mr.. Harris has spent the last |
three years, has settled very fast since
the railroad reached there, and has the
