Through a compromise effected upon recommendation of Attorney-General Brown, the long-pending case of the state of Oregon against the Pacific livestock company reached a termi nation here today. Under the terms of the contract entered into between the members of the state land board and representa tives of tlie livestock company, the latter will pay to the state $125,000 for approximately 18,000 acres of land situated in Harney county. This land, it was charged by the state, was ob tained by the company through fraud ulent operations. The sum of $26,000 as paid to the state at the confer ence held here today; $50,000 will be paid within the next year and the re maining $50,000 is payable in two i years. In consideration of this j amount of money, the state is to issue confirmatory deeds to the land j brought into the litigation. Sale Condition Fixed. The Pacific Livestock company agrees that the land involved in the compromise shall be sold and dis posed of at prices not exceeding those fixed by the state, and the said live stock company, in sub-divisions, agreed upon by the parties to the con tract, and whenever the land de scribed in the agreement, or any part ' thereof, is available for sale or set tlement, the livestock company shall give notice to the state land board of such fact, stating the number of acres and description of land open for sale, the price thereof and the terms and conditions under which such land is offered. Honorably discharged soldiers, sail ors and marines are to be given pref erence in obtaining these tracts and shall be given 90 da-ys after such no tice has been received by the land board to complete purchase. The lands shall not be sold to any other person until the expiration of the said time. In case the state of Oregon and livestock company cannot agree upon the matters to be determined by them. the state shall name one arbitrator, the livestock company one arbitrator and the two arbitrators thus selected shall name a third arbitrator, and the decision of the arbitrators thus seected shall be binding upon the parties to the contract, and in event the third arbitrator cannot be agreed upon then the circuit court of the state of Oregon for Harney county hall name the third arbitrator. CaKf In Inherited. The character of the lands in volved include school lands, school Indemnity lands and swamp lands, The case was first instituted against the livestock company in April, 1914 bv A. M. Crawford, the attorney- general, at the written request of ex- Governor Oswald West. vv nen At torney-Genera! Brown entered office he in her 1 ted the case, and after i in vestigation of the records filed a new complaint against the defendants. The last legislature appropriated $5000 to he used by Mr. Brown in completing his investigation and proceeding with the prosecution. In recommending compromise of the case today Mr. Brown said: j "This compromise, although now submitted by the Pacific Livestock company, is the result of negotiations pend ins for some time between this office and the company, and contains terms much more favorable to the state than those first proposed by the corporation. It is my opinion that it would be better for the state to compromise this case than to proceed and try out the issues in court." The attorney-general will now pro ceed and ask for a formal dismissal of the case against the livestock com pany which is pending in the Harney county courts. j the actions of radicals who fired on j i the Armistice day parade at Centralia, j the Community league of this city at jits meeting Saturday night decided J i to require proof "of the loyaYty of any I person applying for membership in I the league. The resolution follows: . The recent trouble in Centralia in which four of our service boys were killed ezid several others wounded by the Industrial Workers of the World hits brought home to every decent American citizen the men ace that threatens every American insti tution in this land, and even the uvea ot our loyal citizens. Since this league is an organization of community citizens, be It resolved, . that no man or woman who is any way allied with the Industrial "Workers of the World, or any other organization that is antago nistic toward our American government, or whose patriotism Jn any way is doubt ful, or whose sympathies are in they least allied with any such organization, be ad mitted to .membership In this community league. The board of directors recommend that the constitution of this league, be amended toy tne addition of the above reso lution. We are friendly to organized labor, but only when it is controlled by a legitimate majority whose Americanism can stand every test, and not by a minority of red handed anarchists whowe every act is prop aganda in violence and murder.

This is the first time that Miss Hoffmann has offered a vehicle in which she is the entire show. In all her other productions she was sur rounded by a large company, but in her present vehicle she is on the stage as a "single" at all times, her only assistants being several musi cians who augment the regular or chestra, several extra stage hands I and electricians who work off stage j and two maids who help the star in making her costume changes in full j view of the audience. Miss Hoffmann's plan of changing from one costume to another in sight of the audience is one of the big novelties of her act and critics in New York had high praise for her in genuity and showmanship in "chang ing her clqthes in public without a shock." Miss Hoffmann's act is a one-woman revue. Her entertainment includes a series of dances and several imitations of prominent players, including Ann Pennington, Fanny Brice, Kddie Foy and Bessie McCoy. At the finale she gives "A Trip to Coney Island" in which she shows expertness in handling the drums and 11 contraptions or a ineater s tympany corner. The scenery is elaborate, the lighting effects are worthv of a production and the entire act is staged with the magnificence of Broadway how. DEMENTED MAN IS HELD W. S.

A corporation headed by Georpe Shima. a Japanese potato grower, this week purchased 13.900 acres of land lying between Prine vilie and Powell Butte, with the in tention of devoting not less than 11.000 acres to the production of po tatoes, of which 2000 acres will be planted to potatoes in 1920. The con sideration for the land is said to be about o0.000. At present these lands are practic ally all in sage brush and juniper, and contracts for the clearing of those tracts wh ich will lie under canals next season, will be let at once. The remaining acreage which lies under the Powell Butte irrigation project, will be cleared and put into cultivation of potatoes as soon as ir rigation is available. The lands all lie within eight miles of Prineville, which will be the shipping point for the crops, owing to the natural down haul grade, a feature considered by the purchasers. The venture is the largest yet con- t omplalod for potato production icntral Oregon, and will receive the support and co-operation of experi enced central Oregon growers who own 25 per cent of the stock in the new corporation.

'SYRUP OF FIGS" - CHILD'S LAXATIVE Look at tongue! Remove poi sons from stomach, liver and bowels L3ss XlhiSLii c way to end that film, and ffie way ha now been found. Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the dU gestant of albumin. The film is albumi nous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to constantly com bat it. The' way seems simple, but i is no?.. Pepsin must be activated. The usual method is an acid harmful to the Jeeth, so pepsin long seemed impossible-. What has been found is a harmless activating method. Now pepsin can bei applied twice daily and left between the teeth.

It is ever-present, ever-forming. It clings to teetn, enters crevices ana stays. The tooth brush doesn't end it The ordinary dentifrice cannot dissolve it. So it accumulates and may do a ceaseless damage. Most tootH troubles are how traced to that film. And now it is known why brushed teeth still discolor and decay. The reason lies in that clinging film which the old cleaning methods omit. Cause of Decay That film is what discolors not the tVi t i ri basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact win the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor rhea.
