 There are but few of those desig- mated as enemy aliens" registered here. No enemy alien or alien is eligible to conscription under the law. He can. however, volunteer for service. Of the estimated forty
 per cent of American citizens reg istered approximately half are claim ing exemption, the larger part for
 the reason that somebody is depend, ent upon them for support.

Q. That's what you told Mr. Gas. key?
 A. That's as remember it, i wouldn't be sure.
 .. You don't know whether t Was twelve hundred or nineteen hundred"
 A. To the best of my recollection it was twelve hundred dollars
 Q. But all you can say it il wus considerably less than five thousand dollars?
 A. Yes, sir, for the reason We were talking over il afterwards and said there was three thousand dollars profit for someone. if it was sold for five thousand dollars.
 e. Are you sure Mrs Clegg said her husband told her2
 A. Positive.
 Q, Are you sure she fixed the amount she heard?
 A. think she stated the amount at the time, but as l say it didn't interest me particularly except for the small sum it was offered for to fraternal organization, and she said "The idea of selling to q fra ternal organization at that price and then when they needed it for q drilling place." why she said that was making capital out of patriotism,
 c Didn't she say it was offered for a good deal less price, and then later on tell that her husband told her?

LAND CRAF TIERS
 NOW AT WORK:
 PEOPLE WARNED

In communication recently re ceiyed at the office of the district attorney from the attorney general, prospective investors in lands in cer- tain parts of Oregon and Washing ton are warned against land graft CTS. These gratters, the letter states, have been busily engaged in defrauding the people with regard to deals in these lands. The state ment of the department of the in terior accompanying the letter to the district attorney was as follows:
 Department of the Interior
 Washington, D. C., June 15, 1917. Statement relative to the Oregon and
 California Railroad Lands
 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 opening to settlement of the lands within the limits of tn" grant to the oregon and California railroad conpany in Oregon, title tC which was declared to be reVeste9 in the United States by the Act of June 6, 1916 (39 Stat, 2lO.
 Under the terms O. the act, no dis position can be made of the lands revested in the United States until after due classification thereof and the payment of the taxes, as provided in section g. The land department has been exercising due diligence in the matter of classification as well as the asce1tainment of the taxes ac- crued and unpaid, but on account of the litigation instituted by the rail road company, calling into question the constitutionality of the act, final action has been somewhat delayed, The supreme court in it's decision dated April 23, 1917. fully upholds the consututionality of that act.
 These lands are not yet open for entry and settlement, and will not be open until they have been duly restored in the manner directed by said act under such rules and regu- lations as may be adopted to gov ern such restoration. In the mean time. it is utterly useless for any person to attempt to acquire any preference right upon any of these lands. There is no method or man ner by which any filing can be made that would give any preference right for the purchase or 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 fix ing 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 to the fact that there are already at work in the field To- cators who are claiming that through their services preference rights can be secured by the payment of a small fee The department desires at this time again to warn the pub lie that no such preference right can be obtained at this time, and that any money paid to such locatorS will undoubtedly be money thrown away.
 It is the policy of the depa rtment that when the ldnQS are ready tO be thrown open for settlement and entry the public is to be notified thereof so that every one will have an equal opportunity and an equal chance This policy will be strictly to.
