PAPER HAS A WATER MARK
Land Board Has Made a Call, for All
Certificates Issued Prior to
January 1. 1900 Sift
Out Bad Ones.
SALEM. Or... Dec 4.-(3pcciaL-All the
state land certificates dated prior to Jan
uary 1. 15CO, have been called for by tho
State Land Board, in an effort to asccr
tain the extent of the forgeries discov
ered by State Land Agent West. This
order applies to all certificates bearing
the signature of W. II. Odcll. as clerk of j
the board. By complying with this order
and sending their certificates to the State
Land Board, holders of such papers will
learn whether their certificates are gen
uine or spurious.
It Is possible, though not probable, that
certificates were forged with the name
of M. L. Chamberlain, who succeeded
Odell as cleric It is not thought that
the name of Chamberlain was forged, for
some certificates have been located that
bear date after Clerk Chamberlain went
Into office, but on these the name of Odell
was used. This fact Indicates that ths
forgers learned to Imitate the name of
Odell only.
Comparison of the bogus ccrtincates
with the genuine shows several differ
ences which enable the holder to uctect
the fraud. During Odell's term the seal
was Impressed upon the paper without
the use of a colored or gut paper pasieu
on to receive the impression, ah uie
forged certificates thus far discovered
have a gilt seal pasted on them to receive
the Impression. It Is safe to say. there
fore, that any certificate bearing uacu s
name and a gilt seal Is forged.
As already stated, the forged ccrtin
cates were printed on "Sterling Ledger
paper, and any person can ascertain
whether his document is iorgea Dy noia-
Ing It up to the light and reading the
water-mark in It.
In a press report yesterday, concerning
the acceptance of two forged certificates
and the Issuance of deeds thereon. It was
stated that Governor Chamberlain and
State Land Agent West knew of the forg
ery, but did not give the board warning.
Governor Chamberlain said today that he
did not have such Information at tnat
time. Had he known the certificates were
forced, he would have prevented Issuance
of deeds and would have refused to sign
deeds If issued.
GOVERX3IEXT INVESTIGATING.
Attention Called to New Frauds In
Oregon State Lands".
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4. The attention"
of Commissioner Richards, of the General
Land Office, was called to dispatches from
Salem. Or., concerning new frauds discov
ered In connection with the sale or lands
in that state. In this case it appears that
the lands In question belonged wholly to
the state.
Notwithstanding this fact, the General
Land Office has been conducting a rigid
Investigation into the latest alleged
frauds, by which 13, OX) acres of school
lands have passed from the state by
means of dummy entry,nin and through
forged certificates of sole to Eastern
bankers and others, who hace been swin
dled out of large sums of money.
It was explained that while the matter
of the sale of lands granted to the State
of Oregon by the United States for any
purpose whatever is wholly between tjie
state and the, purchasers, and Is con
trolled by the laws of the state. It never
theless Is the duty of the Government
where fraud is alleged to see to it that the
lands affected are not offered In exchange
for lands of the Government. It is not
admitted at the General Land Office that
such errors of exchange have been made,
but from the Investigation now going on
the Inference is that they have.

"In the lead mines I was at vrorlc on m j
knees with my elbows pressed agaiust
rook walls, in dampness and extremes of
cold," said Mr. J. G. Meukel, of 2975
Jackson avenue, Dubuque, Iowa, in de
scribing his experience to a reporter,
"and it is not surprising that I con
tracted rheumatism. For three year.-. I
had attacks affecting the joints o my
ankles, knees and elbows. My ankles
and knees became so swollen I conld
scarcely "walk on uneven ground and a
' little pressure from a stone under my
; feet would cause me so much pain that I
j would nearly sink down. -I was often
! obliged to lie in bed for several days at a
I time. My friends who were similarly
. troubled were getting no relief from
, doctors and I did not- feel encouraged to
; throw money away for nothing- By
. chance I read the starr of Kobert Yates?,
of the Klauer Maunfactnriug Co., of
Dabuqne, who had a very baa case of
. , t j n.- writ
rheumatism. I decided to try Dr. Wil-
lianas' Pink Pills for Pale People, the
remedy he had used. In three or four
weeks after beginning to use the pills, I
was much better and in three months I
was well. The swelling of the joints
and the tenderness disappeared, I could
work steadily and for eight Tears I have
had no return of the trouble. My whole
family believe in Dr. "Williams' Pink
Pills. Both my sons use them. We
consider them a household remedy that
we are sure about."
"What Dr.Williams' Pink Pills did for
Mr. Meukel they are doing for hundreds
of others. Every dose sends galloping

Mrs. Chadwlck became excited and al
most hysterical and said she did not
wish to give them In public, stating
that she did not want to have anybody
exposed. She said that these persons
had benefited to the extent of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars by her
and the money might be recovered for
the benefit of the creditors if suits
were bgun.
Pressed for the names, she refused
to give them and finally showed evi
dence of fainting and was assisted
from the courtroom. Before being takea
back to jail, she said she would give
the names to Trustee Nathan Loeser in
private and he could do what he
thought best.
