Editor:
 Daily Progressive Miner.
 Ketchikan, Alaska. Dear Sir:
 By direction of the Department of Justice. l herewith enclose a copy of a notice promulated on June 15, 1917. by the Department of the Interior. warning the public that there is no possible way by which preference right of entry can be obtained at this time to the Oregon and California rail. road lands. The purpose of this no- tice is. 10 give public information upon these subjects and to prevent fraud ulent attempts on the part of certain designing people who pretend to be able to furnish reliable advance infor- nation to those who are desirous of entering portions of these lands. You may make such public comments and publication of this notice as you may desire for the information of the pub fa

Yours truly. JAMES A. SMISER, United States Attorney.
JuuU 10, I5II Statement Relative to the Oregon and California Railroad Lands

SdiilOi iiid nan OdQ LdiidS
 My attention has again been di- rected to the fact that many inquiries are being made to officials of this and other Departments relative to the op. eniHg of inc lands within the limits of hte grant 10 the Oregon and Cali fornia Railroad Company in Oregon, title to which was declared to be re- vested in the United States by the Act of June 2, 1916 (39 Stat, 21S)
 Under the terms of the act, no dis position can be made Of tn eladns re- vested in the United States until after due classification thereof and the pay ment Of the taxes as provided in sec tion g. The land department has been exercising due diligence in the matter Of classification as well as the entertainment of the taxes accrued and unpaid, but on account of the liti- gation instituted by the railroad com pany, calling into question the con- stitutioRalitF Of the act, final action has been somewhat delayed. The su- preme Court in it's decision dated April 23, 1917, fully upholds the con- stitutionality of that act.
 These lands are not yet open for entry and settlement and will not be open until they have been duly re- stored in the manner directed by said act under such rules and regulations as may be adopted to gov~-n such restoration. In the meantime, it is utterly useless for any person to at tempt to acquire any preference right upon any Of these lands. There is no method or manner by which any filing can be made that would give any preference right for the purchase CT requirement. Of any of these lands, or of any right whatever which can be respected by this Department. When the lands have been classified, public notice will be given from time to time fixing and defining the terms upon which the lands are to be disposed of and the time of their disposition.
 ] The attention of the Department has been called 10 the fact that there are already at work in the field loeatera who are claiming that through theif services preference rights can be SC. cured by the payment Of a small fee The Department desires at this time again 10 warn the public that nc such preference right can be obtained at this time, and that any money paid 10 such locasors will undoubtedly be money thrown away.
 It is the policy Of the Department that when the lands are ready to be thrown open for settlement and entry the public is to be notified thereof SC that every one will have an equal op |, portunity and an equal chance This policy will be strictly adhered to.

Tired of Flight From
Justice, Man Surrenders

Lancaster, Pa, Jan. 16.-Whilc the
Buzzard band of outlaws no longer
infests the Welsh Mountains, they stilf
shelter a goodly number of desperate
characters. On september 16 last the
premises of Harry S. simmons, OF
Mount Airy, were robbed, and Al and
Jiu Boots were arrested as accom-
plices of Harry Green and are now
serving year in the Lancaster county
prison. Green escaped and 1t Is al
legged. soon afterward came near Kill
ing Charles MertZ, of Chester county
by using corn chopper on his neck
in an attempt at decapitation. He
escaped and got back 10 the noun
tains. from which place he had pre-
viously been taken several times TO
serve Jail terms for robbing farmers
near the mountains.
Becoming tired of being hunted,
Green yesterday sent word to Con-
stable Herbert Steigerwalt that he
would surrender, and designated
where he could be found. The officer
went to the mountains and got his
man, and he is now in Jail awaiting
hearing before Alderman Heinltsh
for robbing Simmons.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp-Root, DIR. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Ovcrcomes Kidney Trouble

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree ana do
a tremendous amount of work in re-
moving the poisons and waste matter
from the system by iiltering the
blood.
The kidneys should receive some
assistance when needed. We take
less exercise, drink less water and
often eat more rich. heavy food.
thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than nature intended.
Evidence of kidney trouble, such as
lame back, annoying bladder troubles,
smarting or burning, brickdust or
sediment, sallow complexion, rheuma-
tism, maybe weak of irregular heart
action, warns you that your kidneys
require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had most remarkable success as a
kidney and bladder remedy is DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root. There is
nothing else like it. 1t is DR.. Kilmer's
prescription used in private practice
and it is sure to benefit you. Get a
bottle from your druggist
However, If you wish first to test
this great preparation send ten cents
to DR.. kilmer & Co, Binghamton, n.
Y. for 4 sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention the Harris
burg Daily Telegraph.

"After War Preparedness
Up to You, Not Uncle Sam,"
RedGeld Tells Business

Philadelphia. Jan. 10.-Business pre-
paredness in the United States is not
so much the concern of the govern
ment as it is of business itself, Secre-
tary of Commerce Redfield told the
Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce
to-day. The American government, he
said. already is doing more than that
of any other nation TO aid business.
Preparation for conditions TO be
expected after the war" continued
Secretary Rediield, lis not in its most
effective form something that the gov
ernment can do. An official can at
most from his broad outlook over the
industrial field suggest the presence of
things needing correction or alteration.
Law is not so much needed to prepare
us for the after the war as action,
and the action is that which individual
concerns can take in handling their
own affairs. Just as the way to re-
sumo was TO resume, so the way to
prepare is to prepare-not by having
somebody else do it for u.s. but by do
ing it ourselves. 1t is rather matter
of individual and corporate response
bility than of governmental action.

quietly for the mentioned sum. The
officials agreed on the purchase and
to pay the money through the Essen
bank on presentation of duplicate bills

COUNTY DOGS in
1916 NOT TAXED
Status of 1915 Law Leaves Mat
ter i'm Air; Treasurer's
Report

Until Dauphin county's official un-
derstanding of the 1915 dog license
tax act is legally cleared up to the
satisfaction of the County Commits
sioners, the question as to whether or
not the county's dogs went scot free of
taxation during 1916 is more or less
in the air.
The 1915 financial statement of
County Treasurer Mark Mumma, COM
pleted to-day, shows that SS,1Ss.62
had been collected of the $S,373 that
is on the dog assessment books. I'm
der the law, the returns from the dog
tax collections go to the school funds.
The county financial report shows
total receipts from all sources amount
ing to s61S.116.92. This includes the
various taxes and receipts from all
sources, together with liquor, mercan-
tile and hunters licenses. The eN-
penditures totaled S456,360.11. which
left balance of $161,676.05. The
balance at the beginning of 1915 was
S160,S26.70. During the year County
Treasurer Mumma earned S1,979.01 in
interest on daily balances as compared
to S1,9S0.54 earned in 1915.
