NORTHERN PACIFIC'S
LAND CLAIM HEARD

The right of the Northern Pacific
railroad to 3SO,387 acres of land,
because of the construction OF a
road from Lake Superior to Ash
land, Wis, was challenged today by
members Of the joint Congressional
committee considering the COM
pany's claims.
James c. Kerr, the roads coun-
sci, contended before the committee
that the road was entitled to the
land because of it's charter grant
and could take it from the public
domain wherever available. He ad-
mitted that some Of the land in
question had been taken by other
roads, but argued priority on be-
half of the Northern Pacific be-
cause it was a post road, whereas
the other claimants were local ard
State in scope.
The Secretary of the Interior has
made tentative ruling that the
Northern Pacific was not entitled
to the lands in question and the
company is seeking redress at the
hands of Congress.

Decline in 1924
BY w. s. COUSINS.
International News Service.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Reports
of 1924 operations and earnings
submitted today by three OF the
largest American corporations.
United States Steel, General Motors
and Bethlehem Steel, confirm what
has already been known about the
general decline of business in this
country last year.
These three representative corpo-
rations suffered in the first place by
a shrinkage Of total volume of bust
ness as compared with 1928, plac-
ing the first handicap on their
ability to show as large profits as in
the preceding year. Heavy operat-
ing expenses scaled down their net
incomes and profits were consider
ably smaller. The following COM

$3.50; 1923, $3.50.
The summaries of last years OPP
erations by Chairman Schwab of
Bethlehem, Gary OF United States
Steel corporation, and Dupont OF the
General Motors point unanimously
to the fact that after opening the
year auspiciously, business last year
ran into a slump in the spring and
summer and made q good recovery
in the last quarter.
Thus United States Steel opened
the year operating at S6 per cent
of capacity and declined gradually
to SIS per cent OF capacity in the
third, recovering to So per cent I'm
the fourth. Bethlehem opened the
year at "A per cent. or capacity,
dropped to 81 per cent and recover.
ed to 80 per cent.
Notwithstanding the decline In
earnings these corporations were
able to materially strengthen their
financial position, the chairman OF
General Motors announcing that
that corporation ended the year
with its financial condition the best
in it's history. This will put therl
in a position to take advantage Of
any general increase in demand for
their respective commodities this
year, in which matter they are
fairly optimistic.

LOWER PRICE LEVELS

NEW YORK. March 23.-CHrb
stocks followed the natural trend
of the speculative markets today
and declined to lower price levels
at the opening of trading, gradually
recovering a part of their lost
ground as the session advanced.
Heavy selling of the radio and
oil stocks precipitated a moderate
reaction in prices Of low priced
stocks, extending to a loss OF seven
points in Cities Service.
Marking down OF Pennsylvania
crude oil 20 to IS cents a barrel
and declines in gasoline prices at
important consuming points was
the most important factor in the
selling of oil stocks. Ohio Oil lost

AMUNDSEN PARTY BACK
Entire Expedition Reaches Spitz-

New York - Road Amundsen has
returned safely from his polar fight.
His return was announced in a mes.
sage from Kings Bay, Spitzbergen,
the arctic harbor from which the ex.
plorer and his party hoped off in
two huge amphibian planes just 20
days ago.
The message was signed by Amund-
sen and members of his party. The
entire party reached civilization in
safety, after being out of touch with
the rest Of the world for four weeks,
while several relief expeditions were
mobilizing to go in search of the first
aerial expedition that ever attempted
to reach the north pole.
Great difficulties were encountered
in landing the planes and one plane
was wrecked, the party returning the
last 100 miles on a steamer after hav.
ing missed locating the pole.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says: "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large .
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and inclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.
