Chief (pram' lena, who"1 Chi n di's STATE LAND Reports methods Em Joyed to Get Title to Mineral Base Another Chapter From the Official Report of Oswald West 'Upon talcing charge of ray ofllco on September- 1,-1903, I found that tho stato for somo timo prior to 1903 had been again attempting to make selec tions upon allogod minoral baso, and a largo number of .tho lists had been re jected by tho commissioner of tho gen eral land pffico. for tho reason that tho evidence furnished by tho stato was not sufficient to establish tho mineral character of tho "baso" lands, and for tho further reasons that somo of tho baso had boon previously usod or had boon sold in placo by -tho stnto; thai Qcncral'Odell as attorney for tho stato had taken an appeal from tho commis sioner's decision, and nctign on tho bal ance pf tho selections hod boon sus pended awaiting tho rosult of tho ap peal. After familiarizing mysolf with these mattorB I sot to work to mako a record of all ponding mineral selec tions and tho baso usod; I then", with tho assistance of tho dorks in tho of fice of tho clerk of tho state land board, socurod tho addresses of all thosb who had purchased lands covered by tho rojoctod lists and notified them, that thoy might bo informed as to tho 'li condition of their titles and tako such steps as thoy .saw fit to protoct thoir interests. I also found that a large number of selections mado upon alleged losses in forest rosorvos, Indian reser vations and fractional townships, and on account of homostoad entries, had beon rojectod and calculated by the gcnoral land offlco for tho reason that all of. thq alleged losses had boon cither satisfied by provious selections or nev er had existed. Tho purchasers of these lands also woro notified and many have had their monoy repaid them by the state land board. Tho minoral selections, amounting to about 73,500 acres, had boon mado upon base noarly all of which had boon fur nished by Gonornl Odell, who had con ceived the idea of having a lnrgo unin bor of school sections lying in romoto and mountainous parts of tho stato ad- CT judicated and roturnod as minornl that thoy might bo used as baso for indem nity selections. General Odell in his brief on appeal from tho decision of tho commissioner of tho goncral land offico to tho secretary of tho interior I gives tho following account of tho hear- ing had at tho La Qrando land ofllco, whoro most of tho lands wero adjudi cated, nnd tho proceedings in tho othor districts woro tho same. "September 12, 1900, tho state of Oregon mado application to havo tho lands in a largo number of school sec tions, not so roturnod, but which wore alleged to bo in fact minoral and thero foro not tho property of- tho stato, ad judged mineral, so that it might soloct lands ia lieu thereof under tho pro visions of section 2275 as amondod by act of Fobruary 28, 1891 (26 Stnts. 796). Said application was mado to tho rogistor and receiver of tho United State land offlco at La Grande, Oro.

"It will bo scon from Mr. Odell's account of tho proceedings that tho ap plication to havo these lands adjudi cated was mado by tho stato of Ore gon, and as no ono but tho Governor, or somo ono acting for him, cpuld ask for this hearing in tho name of tho state, ho was without a doubt awaro of tho proceedings, and had, or should havo had, niiut of tho lands to bo ad judicated, and shquld have scm that they wero withdrawn from sale until thoir character could bo determined, for, if thoy wero, as was being allogod, minoral in character, tho stato did not havo titlo and could not rightfully soil them. And furthermore tho stato was attempting to establish tho minoral charactor of school lands, somo which hnd been sold to innocont purchasers and had it succcedod would hnvo thoro by .defeated its own titles and left the many purchasers with no rocourso but that of recovering tho money thoy had paid the stato for tho land. These lands should havo been stricken from tho list, and tboso not sold withdrawn from sale that thoy might bo usod as baso, in ovent their minoral charactor could bo established, without defeating SOmeono's titlo. But on tho contrary tho sale of these lands continued withr out interruption whilo thoy woro being adjudicated, and long after, ovon whorl thoy wero being used ns baso for in demnity selections and any claim tho Btato may havo hod to them was being thereby relinquished to tho United States by tho Governor. ' ' Tho usingof thoso lands, which had been sold in place by the state, for baso did more than anything to cause tho rojection of tho minoral selections by tho general land offlco, for fow of tho lists "had boon approved, and oth ers would probably -have gono through, had not a protest, filed by tho ownors I f school soctlons which bad" been usod for baso by Mr. Odell and tho stato land ngont, caused an investigation by tho commissioner which led him to be lieve that tho atato was not only act ing in bad faith towards its grantoos, but also waB trying to unload onto tho government a lot of worthless lands in their stead."

How a Woman Was Freed From Troub les That Had Mado Life Wrotch od for Many Years, If headache should disappear from tho list of human disoases what a bur don of suffering would bo lifted from tho shoulders of humanity! Fow peo ple are nltogothor freo from it, and it usually appears at tho most inoppor tuno timos and sorlously interforqs with tho duties and pleasures of. life. Somo persons aro po unfortunato as never to bo without it. Tho immediate cnuao of headaches vary, but most of thorn como from poor or poisonod blood. In anaemia tho blood is scanty or thin; tho nerves nro imporfectly nourished nnd pain is tho way in which thoy express their weak ness. In colds tho blood absorbs poi son from tho mucous surfaces, and tho poison irritates the nerves and pro duces pain. In rhcumntisni, malaria and tho grip, tho poison in tho blood' produces like discomfort. In indiges tion tho gases from tho liupuro matter kept in tho system affect tho blood in tho same way. The lesson of all this is, get rid of tho bad blood, and you get rid of the headache. Itcliof lasts. when tho cause of tho pain is removed. Tho general health is improved at tho samo timo. Tho ordinnry headacho cures at boat given only tompornry relief. They deaden tho pnin but do not drive tho poison out of tho blood. Tho pnin soon comes back again. Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills on tho contrary thoroughly ronow tho blood and tho pain disap pears permanently. Womon in par ticular havo found theso pills an un failing roliof in headaches cnusod by anaemia. Miss Stolla Blocker recently said: "Dr.-Williams' Pink Pills did mo a groat deal of good. I had headache noarly all tho time. After I had takon throo boxes of theso pills I bocamo en tirely well. I am glad to say that they nro just good as thoy are rec ommended to be." "How long had you Buffered!" she was asked. "Por sovoral years. I can't toll tho oxact dato when my illness began for it camo on by slow dogroos. I had boen going down hill .for many years.
