OBJECT TO STRINGENT RULES Deschutes Irrigators Ask the Land Board to Make Changes. ' SALEM, Or., Oct. 8. (Special.) After listening .to an extended argument by representatives of the Deschutes Irriga tion & Power Company, and by other business men of Bend, the State Land. Board this afternoon suspended until Oc tober 29 the rules recently adopted gov erning the sale of reclaimed land and settlement thereon in order that the Board may further consider amendments desired by the reclamation company. That amendments will be made is certain, for two members of the board say so, but their nature cannot now be definitely in dicated. The rules thus suspended were adopted at a meeting attended by Governor Cham berlain and Secretary of State Benson, State Treasurer Steel having agreed to abide by their decision. The meeting was attended by the Secretary and Treasurer, the Governor being in the East. All mem bers of the board will probably be here on October 29, when the matter will come up for final hearing. Jesse Stearns, attorney for the com pany, protested against the rules adopted for the reason that they require estab lishment of residence within six months of the date of contract for the purchase of land, cultivation of 1-16 of the land wthln one year, annual proofs of resi dence and cultivation and because assign ments to persons not qualified as settlers are forbidden. He said that these strin gent requirements keep settlers away and make it practically impossible for the company to make sales. He opposed restriction on assignments, except that the person to whom the deed Is to be is sued, must be an actual settler. He de nied the board's power to require more and very strongly intimated that if the rules be maintained, sales will be Im possible and the company will be unable to get the money to complete its work. C P. Richardson, sales agent of the company, t said that several hundred Washington farmers and 60 Illinois citi zens are planning to invest, but will not d so if the rules regarding settlement are retained. H. P. McDonald, a merchant at Bend, and J. E. Sawhill, a Bend banker, also opposed the rules. Attorney-General Crawford, as . repre sentative of the state, strongly seconded the arguments made by the attorney for the company and said that all the board has authority to do is to require that 1-8 of the land be cultivated be fore issuance of a deed and that the applicant be a settler at the time the deed issues. He declared that this state is behind every other In encouraging set tlement. While neither Mr. Benson nor Mr. Steel Indicated particulars, both indicated a be lief that changes are needed.

You need something in your stomach to supply the gastric Juice which Is scanty, and to give power to the weak gastric juice. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this very thing.
