TATE HAS NO CLAIM
Land Office Decision on Kla
math Swamp Land.
GOVERNOR WILL APPEAL CASE
Gives Instructions to Attorney-General
and Asks Oregon Delegation
to Recommend an Attorney
at Capital-Decision's Text:
SALEM, Dec. 3. (Special.) Governor
Chamberlain has received from the Gen
eral Land Office a copy of the decision
rendered on November 16 ruling adverse
ly on the state's claim to swamp land
in Klamath Indian reservation. Prom
this decision It appears that, unless a
reversal can be secured on appeal to the
Secretary of the Interior, the state will
be entitled to neither the swamp land
nor Indemnity land In lieu thereof.
As the state has at least $100,000 at stake,
the Governor has Instructed the Attorney-General
to appeal the case. He has
elso written to the Oregon delegation in
Congress asking them to recommend
some attorney in Washington to Icok
after the state's case there.
The decision of the General Land Office
holds that the title to the swamp lend
inside the Klamath reservation is vested
in the Indians and that the state ac
quired no right thereto under the swamp
land grant of 1SG0. The decision is as
follows:
On November 17, 1002, the United States
Surveyor-General for the District of Oregon
reported to this office swamp land list No. 82,
embracing a total aoea of 02,376.09 acres of
land in the Klamath Indian reservation.
The list tvas reported In accordance -with the
Instructions of the Secretary of the Interior
of January 4. 1001 (30 L. T 305). In the
instructions the following language was used:
"For the purpose of making the necessary
examination of the lands, preparatory to the
making of swamp-land selections, agents of
the state, upon application to the Indian agent
at such reservation, will be permitted, to go
on and over the reservation, and to do all
things necessary to the proper selection of any
lands therein claimed to come within the
terms of the Krant to the state. This will
not, however, justify or authorize the disturb
ing of the occupancy or claim of any Indian,
and will not be considered as a recognition of
the state's claim, but Is done simply that the
claim of the state. If any, may be properly
presented, duly considered and rightly deter
mined. "Many of the lands In this reservation have
heretofore been allotted to the Indians belong
ing thereon, but before the Issuance of the
flret or trust patents for such allotments It
Is deemed best that the claim, if any, of the
Btate should be determined.
"If any selections of claimed swamp lands
within the limits of said reservation are made
by the state, your office will promptly give
notice thereof to the Indian Office, particu
larly specif j ing the lands selected."
A list of the lands embraced in said list 82
was furnished the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, and I am now in receipt of a letter
from that officer, dated June 23, 1003, la
which he furnishes this office with a list of
lands which have been allotted to Indians, and
which are Included in said list 82. The total
area allotted to the Indians is C5.281.&4 acres.
At the date of the passage of the swamp
land grant to Oregon, March 12, 1800 (12 Stat.,
3), which is a grant in praesenti, therefore
acting on the particular date of Its passage or
not at all, the lands of the Klamath Indians
were unceded, and were not subject to any
ceneral grant, such as Is the swamp-land
grant, and the swamp grant could not, there
fore, operate on the lands in question, since
'It Is not necessary to constitute an Indian
reservation that a treaty or act of Congress
shall specifically describe the lands that are
reserved. It Is sufficient for such purpose If
the lands ocupled by the Indians are recog
nized by the officials of the Government as
reserved Indian lands. Syllabus, case of Red
ZLalte Indian reservation in Minnesota, 22 Ij.
B.. 3SS."
The Klamath Indian reservation was created
by thetreatr of October 14, 3804 (16 Stat..
707). By article 1 of the treaty the Indians
ceded to the TJnited States all their right,
title and claim to all of the country claimed
by the, reserving to themselves a certain de
scribed tract or body of land, to be set apart
as a residence for the said Indians, to be
2ie!d and regarded as an Indian reservation.
The Indian right of occupancy to the lands
in the present reservation has never been ex
tinguished, and the lands embraced therein
are subject to allotment to the Indians, as pro
vided for by the act of February 8, 1887 (24
Stat., 3S8), as amended by the act of Febru
ary 28, 3801 (20 Stat.. 704). The allotment to
an Indian of a tract of land In a territory over
which the Indian Tight of occupancy has not
been extinguished, and the perfection of such
allotment, has the effect of making his right
of occupancy perpetual, and, therefore, re
serves the land from the operation of the
swamp grant.
It Is not necessary to consider the question
as to the swamp claim to any lands In said
reservation which have not been allotted to
the Indians, as the reservation is still in ex
istence, and until such reservation Is extin
guished no action regarding the disposal of
lands therein, other than by allotment, can be
taken.
In -view of the facts above set forth, I am
of the opinion that the claim of the state,
under the swamp grant, does not attach to
any lands In the Klamath Indian reseravtlon
as created by the treaty of October 14, 3SG4,
supra, which have been allotted to the Indians,
end that the state's claim to such lands
should be rejected. In order to leave the allot
ments free from conflict and ready for patent.
I Inclose, herewith, a list of the lands al
lotted to the Indians, which tracts are also
claimed by the state, as swamp land, and J,
have to direct that jou allow the state 60
dajs within which to show cause why-the
swamp claim to such tracts should not be re
jected for the reasons above set forth. In
the event of failure to make such showing
within the time allowed, or to appeal here
from, the claim will be rejected without fur
ther notice, and to that end It Is hereby held
for rejection. j. h. FIMPLE.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR INDIANS.
Agricultural Colleges Are Expected
to Furnish In the Future.
CORVALLIS. Or., Dec 3. (Special.)
Levi Chubbuck, special Inspector Depart
ment of the Interior at "Washington, spent
yesterday and today at the Oregon Agri
cultural College with the view of con
summating plans whereby more positions
as Instructors in agricultural and other
Industrial lines maybe made available to
the graduates of agricultural colleges thus
dispensing with political favor In the se
lection of Instructor in Indian schools.

has brought the matter to the attention of
Secretary Hitchcock, who Is now behind
the present movement to make these posi
tions more purely competitive. Mr. Chub
buck Is Secretary Hitchcock's special
agent to effect the desired change as rap
idly as the interests of the Indian service
will warrant.
After visiting the Indian schools of the
Northwest, Mr. Chubbuck expresses him
self as more than ever confirmed in the
opinion that positions as instructor in
Indian schools should be made as inviting
and available as possible to the graduates
of agricultural colleges generally. The
plan has the hearty support of Superin
tendent Potter, of Chemawa, who accom
panied Mr. Chubbuck to Corvallis.

DUNSMUIR WILL TRIAL.
Witnesses Tell of Drunken Habits of
Dead Millionaire.
VICTORIA. B. C. Dec. 3. The will case
in which Edna Wallace Hopper seeks to
break the will of the late Alexander Duns
muir, who left his property to James
Dunsmuir, on the ground of incompetency
and undue influence, was commenced to
day, when the evidence, consisting of de
positions before commissioners in New
York, was introduced.
Mrs. Hopper's mother married Alexan
der Dunsmuir In California In 1S99 and
was deeded a property at San Leandro
worth 5500,000. Alexander Dunsmuir died
in New York In 1900. leaving his share in
the coal mines, railways, etc, valued at
over 51.000,000, to his brother. Mrs. Duns
muir, the plaintiff's mother, died in 1S01,
having some months before made an
agreement with James Dunsmulr's attor
neys to abandon all claim to the estate
for a consideration of 523,000 a year, and
to obtain the San Leandro farm.
Plaintiff is asking that Alexander Duns
mulr's will be set aside owing to the
testator's menial Incapacity. She also
asks that the agreement with her mother
be set aside on the groui J of undue in
fluence, and that James Dunsmuir be re
strained from disposing of the property
and a receiver appointed.
E. V. Bodwell, for plaintiff, In opening
the case, said Alexander Dunsmuir was
so addicted to drink that his death was
caused by alcoholic dementia, and he was
unable to carry on any business. The evi
dence taken In New York was then read.
Dr. Marshall deposed he knew Alexan
der Dunsmuir in San Francisco. He was
on the verge of delirium tremens. He
was subject to hallucinations, and he be
lieved efforts were being made to poison
him. When sick he forced his daughter
to taste his food or medicine.
"You taste this, kid," he said. He
called bis daughter "kid."
Once he wanted his coal mines brought
in and placed on his bed. He was de
voted to Mrs. Dunsmuir.
Edward Crowninshield, a Wall-street
broker, a relative of Admiral Crownin
shield, told of Dunsmulr's drunken habits
and break-down caused by alcoholism.
Dr. Calver, of New York, deposed to
having attended Dunsmuir for alcoholic
dementia. He believed him. to have been
practically of unsound mind for the last
few years.
Mr. Drummond deposed to attending
Mrs. Dunsmuir at the time of Alexander
Dunsmulr's death and recommended an
operation. He advised her not to go to
San Francisco, but she did, taking her
husband's remains. She went to Victoria
a month later and her1 disease advanced
during that visit, affecting her mental
condition.
She had spoken of contesting her hus
band's will. She did not have a good
business head, and was likely to be In
fluenced by James Dunsmuir. He wanted
Mrs. Hopper to go to Europe. His at
titude toward her and Mrs. Dunsmuir
was affectionate.

MUST PAY FOR PRIVATE WORK
Clackamas County Institutes First
Suit Under New Law.
OREGON CITY, Dec. 3. (Special.)
District Attorney Allen was today di
rected by the Clackamas County Court
to Institute an action In the name of the
1 county against Fred Brakebush, of this
county, to recover the costs for survey
ing and laying out a private roadway.
This action was taken by the court on
the report of the viewers to the effect
that Brakebush had refused to reimburse
them for their labor, the charges for the
work aggregating 523. Brakebush was 4
ordered by the court at its last session
to compensate the viewers, and failing
to do so, the controversy will be settled
in the courts. l
The action against 'Brakebush, which Is
the first of its kind in this county, is
based on that section of the road law
which provides that the property-holder
for whom a private roadway Is estab
lished stall assume and pay the costs
incident to the surveying and laying out
of such road.
COLLEGE BOYS FINED.
Disturbed a Social Gathering at a
Private House.
SALEM, Dec 3. (Special.) Ten idollars
each was the fine imposed upon George
Simpson, df Garfield, Wash., and Mose
Averill, of Brownsville, Or., the two uni
versity students who were arrested late
last night for disturbing a social gather
ing. "Class spirit" was as much in evidence
today as it was last night About- 30 of
the second-year students, boys and girls,
went to the Sheriff's office in the Court
house this morning, when the boys were
taken from the cells where they spent
the night. A procession was formed with
the Sheriff and the prisoners at the head,
and the aggregation marched down State
street to Justice Horgan's court The
crowd of students completely filled the
Justice Court.
The boys pleaded guilty, paid their fines
and were released, whereupon they were
surrounded by a happy crowd of fellow
students who shook their hands enthusi
astically and escorted them to the univer
sity. The procession along State street
was a scene unusual in Salem, and busi
ness men and clerks left their work to
witness this departure In college life.
The offense for which the boys were
fined was committed when the second
year class serenaded the first-year class,
which was holding a class party at the
residence of Rev. H. A. Ketchum.
Rev. H. A. Ketchum, who sent for the
Sheriff, said he had not intended to have
any one arrested, but rather simply to
have the officer disperse the boys and girls
who were gathered about the house sing
ing songs and disturbing the party of the
first-year class In progress at his home.
He refused to swear out a warrant
against them.
Deputy Sheriff Sklpton expressed some
disgust over having been called into the
affair, and swore out the warrant merely
to save the office.
LIQUOR LOOSENS TONGUE.
Burning of Stockton House at Glenn's
Ferry Incendiary.
BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 3. (Special.) One of
the men who started the Are that con
sumed the Stockton House at Glenns
Ferry on November IS and. cost one life
has, been arrested and Is now in JalL The
officers are satisfied as to his guilt. He
had two accomplices, and the Sheriff is
now on their trail.
It seems that shortly after the Are
Hocks, while drunk at Glenns Ferry,
stated that he and two pals set the place
on fire. They had expected to make some
money, but were disappointed, he said.
He did not state whether they were to be
paid for the Job, or whether they ex
pected to gain by robbery, although the
robbery theory is the one the officers en
tertain. He also said the unknown man
who lost his life In the fire was "an old
stiff and good for nothing,' and we cared
nothing about him."
Sheriff Fountain, hearing of this, took
the trail. He traced Hocks and his two
companions to Nampa. He learned that
they had rolled a man there and stolen
his watch. He got a good description of
the men and started East after them. He
overhauled Hocks at Pocatello. The other
men. It is learned, went west from
Nampa, where the trio had quarreled and
split up.

IKON AM) STEEL TBADE LABGE
Imports Are First of Those of a Single
Manufactured Article.
WASHINGTON, Dec 3. The recent an
nouncement that a reduction of freight
rates on iron and steel manufactures in
tended for exportation is being made by
the railroads for the purpose of encour
aging exports of American iron and steel
manufactures lends Interest to some fig
ures compiled by the Department of Com
merce and Labor through Its Bureau of
Statistics regarding the commerce of the
United States in Iron and steel manu
factures. These tables show that man
ufactures of Iron and steel form the larg
est single item of our exports of manu
factured articles, and have shown a more
remarkablo growth in exportation than
perhaps any other great article In the
large number which form the classifica
tion "manufactures." Beginning with
552,144 in 1S00, the growth was extreme
ly slow during the first half of the cen
tury, being only 51.953,702 In 1S50. In I860
the total was 55.S70.114: In 1S70. 513.4S3.163;
In 18S0, 514.716,524; in 1S90, $25,512,20S, and
In 1900, 5121.913.54S. the Increase In the
closing decade of the century being nearly
four times asmuch as In the 90 years
preceding. In 1901 the total was 5117,319.
320; In 1902, 53S.552.562, and In 1903, 596,
642,467. That the decrease In exporta
tlons since 1900 is chiefly due to Increased
home demand Is indicated by the fact
that the domestic production of pig Iron,
the basis of Ircn and steel manufactures,
has increased from 13.7S9.242 tons In 1900,
the year of the greatest exports, to 17,
821,307 tons In 190T, an Increase of about
30 per cent during the period in which
the reduction of exports occurred. A fur
ther evidence ol the large home demand
for Iron and steel Is found In the fact
that during this recent period. In which
the production of pig iron was greatly
increased and the exports of manufac
tures of iron and steel decreased, the
Importations of iron and steel grew from
520.47S.72S In 1900 to 531.617,312 in 1903.
The table which follows shows the pro
duction. Importation and exportation of
manufactures of Iron and steel at decen
nial periods from 1S20 to 1903:

Considering the distribution of Iron and
steel to the various countries of the
world. It may be said that Eurone took
in 1900 Jfajarger total than any other!
of the gffnd divisions, the total value of
iron and steel exports from the United
States i6 Europe In that year being 545,
7SS.554. In that year North America took
542.378,119 in value of our Iron and stel
manufactures. South America 57,357.417;
Asia, 511.225.144; Oceania, 512,869,947, and
Africa. 52.304,498. The reduction In 1902
and 1903 as compared with 1900 was chief
ly In exports to Europe, which fell from
545,000,000 in 1900 to 531,127,601 In 1902, and
about the same figure In 1903. Meantime
North America Increased slightly her
takings of our Iron and steel, the figures
for 1902 being 543647.867 against 542,378.119
in 1900. In the shipments to Asia and
Oceania there were also slight decreases.
Machinery forms by far the most Im
portant feature" In the exports of Iron and
steel manufactures. The various classes
of machinery which can be separately
stated, such as locomotive engines, sta
tionary engines, fire engines, electrical
machinery, sewing machines, typewriters,
shoe machinery, cash registers, laundry
machinery, printing presses, and pump
ing machinery, are shown in that man
ner. Aside from these, however, Is a
great group of machinery which is not
stated in separate Items, owing to Its
variety and the large number of different
classes of machinery Included. This sin
gle group of "machinery not separately
classified" grew from 510.000,000 in 1S32 to
over 520.000,000 in 1902. The next largest
Item under the general classification of
machinery Is electrical machinery, which
was only separately classified In 1S9S,
amounting In that year to 52.000,000r and
in 1902 to nearly 53,500,000. Sewing ma
chines, which amounted to 52,250.000 in
1SS9. were 4,000,000 in 1902. Typewriters,
which were only separately stated in 1S97,
amounted in that year to less than 51,500,
000, and In 1902 to nearly 53,500,000. Loco
motive engines increased from 51.750,000
in 1S92 to over 55,500,000 in 1900, but owing
to the very great demand of the home
market upon the manufacturers of the
United States, fell to 53,250.000 In 1902.
Metal working machinery, which was not
separately stated prior to 1898, grew from
54.500,000 In that year to over 57,000.000 In
1900; pumps and pumping machinery Is
next In order In the class (machinery),
a little over 52,000.000; cash registers grew
from 5813.000 In 1900, the first year In
which they were separately stated, to
51,144,062 In 1902, the other classes of ma
chinery ranging downward In their rela
tive order of magnitude, shoe machinery,
printing presses, stationary engines,
laundry machinery, and fire engines. Thus
machinery alone formed in 1900 555.000,000
worth of the exports of iron and steel
manufactures out of a grand to
tal of 5121.913.54S of iron and steel
manufactures exported in that year, or
nearly one-half of the total. This state
ment of "machinery" does not Include
agricultural implements, bicycles, tele
graph and telephone instruments, or
other articles not exclusively or chiefly of
Iron and steel. Adding only those
ltem3 of machinery included un
der Iron and steel manufactures, It
may be said that the exportatlons from
the United States of machinery as a
group amounts to about 575.000.000 an
nually. Next In order after machinery Is
the group locks, hinges and other build
ers hardware, amounting to 56.000.000;
wire, over 55.O00.O06; pipes, and fittings,
55,000.000; steel rails, nearly 55.000.000;
tools, 53,500,000; structural Iron and steel,
53,000.000; boilers and parts of engines,
nearly 52.000.000; castings. 51.500,000; and
other articles ranging downward in their
relative value, wire nails, firearms, pig
iron, steel bars, stoves and ranges, bar
iron, steel sheets and plates, wire rods,
saws, cut nails, Iron sheets and plates,
tacks, scrap iron, cutlery, safes, car
wheels, tin plates, hoop, band and scroll
Iron billets, ingots and blooms, and Iron
rails.

If there are any bald heads in the

brated cure that gave back to the late
Major Fitz Hugh Edwards his splendid
shock of hair. Edwards was as bald as
the American eagle. Somewhere on the
Chagres River he met a band of Indians,
who laughed him to scorn when he re
moved his hat Having winning ways,
Edwards soon made himself agreeable,
and the Chief of the tribe said In the na
tive tongue: "We will give you cover
for your naked skull." He remained there
nearly a year and came back to New
York with much better hair than ho was
born -with. As hair restorers, the Co
lombians are par excellence, differing en
tirely from our North American Indians,
who took all the hair they coula scalp.

CONSUMPTION
Mainly Caused by Chronic Colds and
Hanging-on Coughs.
A member of Woodard, Clarke & Co.
has given a good deal of time to the
study of consumption, and finds that
comparatively few cases are hereditary.
Mostly all are caused by neglected
colds, which gradually weaken the whole
pulmonary system, and before people
realize it there is a diseased spot In one
lung; spitting blood soon follows and
eventually a collapse.
Such an unnecessary end, such a pity,
for all could have been so different We
know of hundreds of cases where our
wonderful cod liver oil preparation, VInol,
has saved a young, valuable life, which
without it would have been sacrificed.
We have letters from people who were
given up to die, and who positively state
that Vinol, and VInol alone, saved their
lives when all else had failed to help
them.
VInol Is able to cure hanglng-on colds
and stubborn coughs, because it Is the
most perfect preparation of cod liver
oil ever compounded; It contains no oil
or grease to upset the delicate stomach,
yet It does contain every one of, the fifty
odd medicinal curative elements actually
taken from fresh cods livers, and we
freely and publicly state that we will
supply all the VInol we think necessary
to cure any case of chronic coughs,
hanglng-on colds or weak and debilitated
conditions of Portland people, and pay
for the medicine ourselves If It falls to
give satisfactory results.
How canwjB express our faith in Vinol
more emphatically? Woodard, Clarke

Bladder and Urinary Troubles
Promptly Cured by Swamp-Root
Because Swamp-Root Is the Most Gentle Healer and
Natural Aid to the Kidneys and Bladder
That Has Ever Been Discovered.
No matter how many doctors you have
tried no matter how much money you
may have spent on other medicines, you
really owe it to yourself, and to your
family, to at least give Swamp-Root a
trial. Its stanchest friends today are
those who had almost given up hope of
ever becoming well again.

taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy,
because as soon as your kidneys are
getting better, they will help all the oth
er organs to health. A trial will con
vince anyone.

often expressed, that v Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish In relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and

corrects inability to .hold urine and scald
ing pain In passing it, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being com
pelled to get up many times during the
night to urinate.

undisturbed in a glass or bottle for
twenty-four hours, forms a sediment or
settling, or has a cloudy appearance. It
is evidence that your kidneys and blad
der need immediate attention.

Dr. Kilmer, the eminent kidney and
bladder specialists Hospitals use It with
wonderful success in both slight and
severe cases. Doctors recommend It to
their patients and use it in their own
