RULES BY
STATE LAN D BOARD
Fraudulent Applications Are
Made a Matter of Diffi
culty Hereafter. , .
DUMMIES CANNOT BE USED
Close Scrutiny Will Be Made of All
Sales 'Reported liy the Grand
Jury as Irregular DccHs
Hay Be TJefused.
SALE ST, Or.. May 10. (SpecIal.)-iThe
State Land' Board has established num
ber of new rules regarding the purchase
of state lands, which rules are designed
to prevent a repetition ot the irregulari
ties "which have prevailed in the past.. .
One of 1 he .most important or these new
regulations is that governing the man
ner of making applications. Heretofore
, tho applicant has merely been required
to make affidavit that he was a citizen
of the United States over the age of 18
years, that he wanted the land for his
own use and benefit and that he had
made no agreement, express or implied,
to sell or convey the land to any other
person. This affidavit could be made
before a notary public. Recent develop
ments have indicated that many fictitious
names were signed to applications and
that sale? were made to persons who
had no existence except in the mind of a
notary public who was willing to create
imaginary people and affix his notarial
seal to papers bearing their supposed sig
natures. Since applications could be made iif
?ny rtate by residents of any state,
and the formalities required were few,
a dishonest notary public could make an
endless number of fraudulent applica
tions with but little danger of detection.,
It is to remove this opportunity for fraud
that the board has ordered new rules and
regulations and new forms.
One of the future requirements will be
that the applicant shall give his postofllce
address. Another will be that his signa
ture to the application mu?t be written
in the presence of two witnesses, who
moEt subscribe their names as such.
It Is also probable that the form of
notary's certiorate will be changed to
read somewhat like the form of acknowl
edgment of a deed, so that the notary
must certify that the applicant is per
sonally known to him. Under the present
regulations a notary -who forges a name
ran say that the person who came before
him was a stranger, and thereby escape
responsibility and avoid detection. While
It will be possible to commit fraud under
the new regulations, it will be much
more difficult.
It will be remembered that in the fa
mous 7-11 cases a County Clerk and United
States Commissioner certified that per
sons appeared before them, though those
persons had no existence, and agents of
the Department of the Interior- certified
to the existence of houses and Improve
ments that did not cxlsU In the same
way a notary could tak the acknowl
edgment of an Imaginary person and
forge not only the signature of the ap
plicant, but the names of witnesses also,
but thre would be more danger of de
tection In fraud so extensive.
The board has also made an order di
recting that close scrutiny be given all
future proceedings relative to sales that
were reported by tho srand jury as ir
regular and the board will probablv re
fuse to issue deeds or accept further
payments unless satisfied that the appli
cation to purchase was in good faith and
not In violation of law.

otner big edition of the book. Tho vni.

same topics as the work Issued two
years ago. but is more complete as to

at 33,000.000 bushels, valued at present
prices at J30.000.000.
The volume gives the annual output of
S3 coal mines In the state at 3.000,000 tons,

LEWISTON. Idaho. May 10.-(SpeciaI.)
Another important step was taken this
evening by the trustees of the independ
ent electric railway and boat project.
wnicn proposes to erect an electric rail
way line between Grangeville and Lewis-

pany, and made a definite proposal to
finance the road within 30 days after the
details have been completed. All that
remains to cinch the deal is the signing
or an agreement, which will be done to
morrow morning.
The meeting of the trustees was one of
the warmest since the project has been
started, and every safeguard was thrown
around the project, with the view of
keeping it in independent hands. The
conditions Imposed upon the trustees are
that all the rights of way between Lewis
ton and Grangeville shall be secured;
that franchises be secured through the
business portion of Lewiston for freight:
mat suitable terminal grounds be fur
nished and that the amount of stock
subscription be made to reach J500.COO.
When these conditions have been com
plied with the guarantee is given by the
London man that within 30 days there
after $230,000 will be furnished to begin
tne actual construction of the railway
and the building of steamers and that the
balance of the money, amounting to
nearly J3.000.000, will be forthcoming as
fast as necessary-
It Is proposed to have the line built
and in operation within one year and an
absolute guarantee will be given that the
road will remain In Independent hands
for live years.
The total stock subscription now avail
able Is J3W.0OO. It is uideratood that the
money to be furnished for the construc
tion of the road will come from the first

Do you remember the little things that
rave us so mvtek pleasure when we were
young? With what zest did we sit down to
the table after ocr play was over and eat the
mush and milk oar mother put before us.
Bat as we get older it takes more to give
us pleasure. Musk and milk no longer
tastes good to us, and our digestion may be
impaired. The best advice we can give to
such a person is to tone up the stomach with
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It
is nature's most valuable and bealth-grring
agent made without the use of alcohol. It
contains roots, kerbs and barks, and is the
concentration of nature's vitality as found
in the fields and woods. This remedy has
a history which speaks well for it because
it was given to the public by Dr. R. V.
Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.t nearly
forty rears ago, and has since been sold by
druggists in ever Increasing quantities.
Some medicines, tonics or compounds, en
joy a large sale for a few years, then disap
pear from the public attention, but Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has
proved snch a reliable blood remedy and f-
tomc that it often enjoys the confidence ot
several generations in a family, and' its in
creased sales year by year coming from the
recommendations of those who have tried
it, prove its lasting merit, so that every
bottle bears the stamp of public approval.
Every other blood-maker and tonic for the
stomach that we know of contains alcohol,
but Dr. Pierce guarantees that no alcohol
is contained in his "Medical Discovery.
