8EIXINO OF GRANTED LANDS.
Opinion of Land Commissioner Bal
linger on bonus railroad lands of the
Southern Pacific In Oregon:
"The company (Southern Pacific) Is
therefore without authority to sell
these lands (granted under Con
rreEslonal acts of 1806-70, as bonus
for constructing the railroads from
Portland and the California State
line and from Portland to McMlnn
vllle), to any other person (than
actual settlers), in any other amount
(than 160 acres to each purchaser),
or for a greater price (than $2.G0 an
aero) than that prescribed tn the pro
viso, and any conveyance which the
company has attempted to make on a
sale made In violation of this statute,
would not be sustained by the courts.
That the Southern Pacific company
can be forced by the courts to sell its
railroad gTant lands In this state accord
ing to the terms of the acts of Con
Kress. is the opinion of R. A. Ballinger,
Commissioner of the General Land Office,
given by letter to W. C. Hawley, Repre
sentative in Congress for the Oregon First
District.
According to Commissioner Ballinger no
further legislation by Congress la needed
to put In the hands of the people of this
utate the power which they have thought
they needed in order to break up the
3,000,000-acre land monopoly of the rail
road, compel it to open the lands to sale,
and to-iorce it to sell the lands only to
actual settlers, in tracts of not more
than 160 acres to each purchaser and at
a price not exceeding (2.50 an acre.
These plain limitations on the pos
session of the lands are contained in an
act of April 10, 1869, by virtue of which
the Oregon Central Railroad (East Side
line) and its successor, the Oregon &
California Railroad, obtained free from
the Government as bonus for building the
railroad from Portland to the California
state line some 6,000,000 acres of non
mineral land; aid in an act of May 4,
1S70, by virtue of which the Oregon Cen
tral Railroad (West Side line) secured
some 600,000 acres for the railroad be
tween Portland and McMinnvllle.
Railroads" Thrifty Bends.
The United States gave odd numbered
sections of land, ten on each side of the
track, to the amount of 12,800 acres for
each mile of road. The total acreage for
the 360 odd miles of track, to the Cali
fornia line, on account of thrifty bends
in the route, amounted to the figures
mentioned.
The two land grants now possessed by
the Southern Pacific have been disposed
- of In large tracts in violation of the
acts of Congress, until less than half the
original acreage remains in possession of
the railroad. The lands were sold in
larger tracts than 160 acres to each
purchaser and frequently at more than
$2.60 an acre and the purchasers in these
cases have not been actual settlers.
Representative Hawley has taken the
matter up with Secretary of the Interior
Garfield, Land Commissioner Ballinger
and Attorney-General Bonaparte, endeav
oring to find means to hold the railroad
strictly to the terms of the grants. The
"Washington authorities have evinced
large Interest in the mntter. Secretary
Garfield has given Mr. Hawley to know
that he will afford every facility of his
department to accomplish the end aimed
at. Attorney-General Bonaparte has told
Senator Bourne and Mr. Hawley he aees
no reason why the terms Bhould not be
enforced and has asked them for speclfio
Information, which they are now gather
ing, of violations of the acts of Con
gress. Commissioner Ballinger wrote the
following .letter to Representative Hawley,
March 19 of this year:
Commissioner Ballinger's Letter.
In replr to your letter of the 7th Inst., adV
6ressed to the Secretary of the Interior and
h&ndvd1 to me tor attention, you are RdvJaed
that the act of 1866 (14 Stats. 38), made a
mint of lands to the California and Oregon
X all road Company, conditioned upon the per
formance of certain acts by the company
within a specified time. The prescribed con
ditions not having been met by the company,
the time for the performance was extended by
the act of 1869 (16 State. 47).
Although the company faJli to comply with
the term of the grant wlthla the time sped
nc they were subsequently compiled with be
fore a forfeiture, and the title to all the lands
within the grant consequently vested In the
company (see Schulenterg vs. Harrlman, 21
AVall. 44) subject only to the covenant ex
Vressred In the proviso of the act of 1S69,
which declares "that the lands granted by the
act aforesaid shall be sold to actual aettlers
only In quantities not greater than one quarter
section to one purchaser and for a price not
exceeding $2.60 per acre." As soon as title
vested in the company the Jurisdiction over the
lands passed from the executive braach of the
tovernment, and the enforcement of the pro
vtto recta with the courts througti appropriate
action by either the settlers entitled to pur
chase or by the Government acting through
the Department of Justice.
The power of Conirreas to prescribe the pro
viso, cannot, in my Judgment, be questioned
tn view of th fact that it was made in con
Idwrntloa of the extension of the time granted
to the company, and th company U therefore
without authority to sell these lands to any
other person, Im any other amount, or for a
greater price than that prescribed In the
proviato, and any conveyance which the com
pany has attempted to make oa a sale made
In violation of this statute would not be sus
tained by the courts.
. tttnee the title passed from the Government
subject oaiy to the covenant created by the
proviso. It Is doubtful If Congress has power
to enact any law to compel a compliance with
the terms of the proviso (sea Morgan vs.
Rogers, 79 Fed. &77) and the covenant can
only be enforced in the courts.
- Representative Ham-ley's Work.
Representative Hawley has - given a
great deal of attention to this land
matter. It was one of the campaign
. issues in the election last year and Mr.
, ' Hawley. during his brief stay in Wash
ington last February and March made
good progress in bringing the matter to
.the attention of the Administration. He
.considers it the most important ques
tion before the people of Western Ore
gon at this time. Said be yesterday, in a
written communication to The Oregonlan:
f SALEM. Or.. April 12. (To the Editor).
-Two able and excellent articles have been
published In The Oresronlan recently, ooncern-
l lng the lanAs granted by Conrresa to the
( Oregon Caltfornda Railroad and extending
from Portland to the Oaltfornla line. One of
on February 2 of this year. It is not my pur
pose to restate the legal and historical matter
with which these papers deaK. Durlne; the last
campaign, the matter of these grants was a
subject of interest, and X request opportunity
through The Oregonlan to report to the people
what I have done thus far. This grant of
many millions of acres of the best lands in
the state was made by Oonejress primarily to
aid the development and) settlement of Oregon,
and was Intended to aid the railroad only as a
means of aiding the state. This purpose of
Congress 4n making- the grant is the ground
upon which the people are Justly asking that
the terms of the grant be complied with and
that the National Government secure its en
forcement. The terms of the grant are spe
cific, and it is no injustice to ask to have
that done which was agreed to be done. The
lands were to be sold tn tracts not to exceed
160 acres to each settler and at a price not
to exyd $2. SO per acre. In making this
grant Congress followed In a general way -its
policy of dealing with the public lands and
it was clearly the purpose of Congress to pre
vent the grant being converted Into a land
monopoly, either by holding the lands out of
market, or by selling them In large bodies.
In company with Senator Bourne, I called
upon Attorney-General Bonaparte, and pre
sented to him tne memordaa adopted by the
Oregon Legislature at its last session, and
made a statement of- the case. About two
weeks later we called again upon the At
torney-General and were greatly pleased to
find that he had Investigated the matter. It is
our understanding that the Department of
Justice will undertake the enforcement of the
terms of the grant. I presented the matter to
Hon. James R. Garfield, Secretary of the In
terior, and Judge R. A. Ballinger, Commis
sioner of the -General Land Office, and from
t be Department of the Interior I have re
ceived a letter, signed by the Commissioner.
(Printed in the foregoing.)
I laid the matter before President Roosevelt
and he requested me to prepare for his use a
statement of the case.
It hardily needs to be repeated that the
present Administration stands for the enforce
ment of the laws, and that it expects all per
sons, great and small, to comply with their
provisions.
The opening up of these lands to develop
ment "and settlement will provide homes for
a great number of people, and will cause some
of the best of the unoccupied lands of the
state to become available for agriculture,
fruitgrowing, grazing and mining.
The Oregonlan has rendered valuable assist
ance and good service to the people by the
publicity it has given the matter, and by the
careful compilation of data.
manning you for the courtesy of so much
space, I am, yours truly,
W. C. HAWLEY.

Head of the Order Pays Local Lodges
Official Visit Asks Them to
Work Harder.
"We hear 'Of the advanced thought
which las resulted In the recommenda
tions of eminent legislators that a law
be passed whereby every man and woman
Bhould be subjected to a physical ex
amination before marriage. I heartily ap
prove of such a measure and believe that
more than half of the domestic trouble
would be eliminated If such were adopted.
But In taking such a step as this I also
believe that every man should provide
for the proper protection of his family
and home. One never knows when going
on a Journey whether he or she will re
turn Bafely." These were the words of
W. M. Narvls. supreme master of the
A. O. U. W., In his address at Woodman

that only 7S members of the A. O. U. W.
have been Initiated in the local lodge

to question the veracity of the people of
Oregon, as they had promised him a large
increase In membership. He urged every
member to work for the building up of
the lodge here In the Interest of the home
and loved ones, who should have proper
protection In case of the husband and
father's death.
Mr. Narvls was followed by Grand
Master Clark, who made an able speech
lh behalf of the workings of the lodge,
while Mrs. Brlggs, supreme Chief, told of
the fraternal benefits to the home and
pleaded for the women, mothers and
wives, to urge upon their husbands and
fathers the necessity of proper protection.
The National officers have recently re
turned from Washington, D. C, where
the grand lodge held its convention.
The local lodges of the grand lodge

SIGHTED THE BESSIE K.
Steamer Alliance Reports Derelict
to the North of Coos Bay.
The steamer Alliance arrived yesterday
from Coos Bay with GO passengers an 4 600
tons of freight. In the cargo was 15,000
feet of spruce lumber, 600 cases of salmon
and 309 empty beer barrels. The Alliance
was several days late on the last trip
owing to the stormy weather off the coast.
She was barbound at Astoria on the
voyage south and at the Southern Oregon
port was held up for several hours.
Last Sunday while southbound the
steamer Alliance sighted the derelict gaso
line schooner Bessie K, floating bottom
up. She was about midway between
Umpquah and the entrance to Coos Bay
and about three miles off shore.
The Bessie K was reported March 7 to
be bottom up off the Humboldt bar. She
was bound from Coquille to San Fran
cisco and had a crew of eight aboard. The
derelict was picked up by the steamer
Yosemlte, from the Columbia River to
San Francisco, and was towed to within
two miles of shore. Several weeks later
she was taken in tow and an effort made
to land her at Eureka. Since that time
nothing has been heard of the craft until
the report of the Alliance.

Stomach Trouble.
"For years I was a sufferer from
Indigestion and stomach trouble. I
have used all kinds of medicines and
pills, without any benefit. I was ad
vised by one of my neighbors to try
a bottle of Duffy's Pure Malt Whis
key, as he had tried It with good re
sults. I went to the drugstore and
bought a bottle, and before that bot
tle was used I was relieved and was
much better than before I commenced
to use the Malt Whiskey. I kept on
using It steadily every day, and be
fore I had used up five bottles I was
entirely well, and think that Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey Is one of the best
tonics of the Twentieth Century.
1 will keep it in my house always
as a family medicine and tonic I
take a small dose every day after
each meal. It helps the digestion
and promotes a good appetite. I am
now 73 years of age, and feel well
and strong, thanks to Duffy's Pura

"Several years ago I had a slight
shock. My doctor prescribed Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey and told me to
take it regularly, which I have done,
and I can truthfully say that it cer
tainly has been a great benefit to
me.
"I am now 81 years of age and have
used stimulants all my life, so ought
to know what a good article is. I
have been a resident of Saco Valley

in the gift of my townsmen, was a

Hale and Hearty at 101.
"I wish to tefl you what Duffy's
Malt Whiskey has done for me. Four
teen years ago the doctors gave me
up to die. We had some Duffy Malt
Whiskey In the house, which I com
menced to use right off, as a last
resort, and I grew better, and finally
became well, taking it according to
directions. I have used it for fifty
years, and have had it in my family
for general use for that length of
time. I eat heartily and sleep well.
1 was born in Vermont, east of the
Green Mountains in 1805, and I would
now be under the sod if It were not
for Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey."
MRS. ANNA B. DEPEW, Wharton,
Ohio, Aug. 17th. 1906.
Heart and Nerves.
"I have taken Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey for the past two years. For
five years previous to that time I was
afflicted with heart trouble and nerv
ous prostration. I tried doctors and
many nerve remedies, but received
little benefit therefrom. After tak
ing Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey for a
short time all symptoms of heart
trouble disappeared, and I began to
get stronger. I lack a few months
of being 81 years of age. - I am one
of the few surviving veterans of the
Mexican War, and, aside from a dis
ability contracted in the Army, I can
say that I feel spry and nimble on
my feet, and am vigorous Indeed, all
of which is due to the taking of Duf
fy's Pure Malt Whiskey. It makes
the old young. Although a strong
temperance man for many years, a
heartily recommend Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey to all afflicted, wheth
er young or old." ELLAS BOLLIN
GER, Beaverton, Mich., Jan. 1, 1907.
Restful Sleep.
"I have been using Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey for about three years
and find it one of the best tonics and
stimulants that I ever heard of. I
am 65 years of age, and Duffy's Malt
Whiskey is the medicine that has
done me much good. Since using it
my appetite is good, I feel well and
sleep well. Before using Duffy's
Malt Whiskey my weight was 140,
now it is 210 pounds, and I feel as
fine as I did when I was fifteen years
of age. If all old people would take
three doses of Duffy's Malt Whiskey
a day, they would soon feel young
and vigorous." Yours very truly, M.

Consumption.
had a severe cough for aom
time and became extremaly alarmed
because my physician told me I had
bronchitis, and another said I had
consumption. As I received little ben
efit from the remedies prescribed for
me. I began to think what the doc
tors had said was only too true. 1
finally decided to take Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey, with little hope of the
result that followed. Slowly the
coughing spells lessened In frequen
cy, and the quantity thrown up also
became less, and my strength, which
had sadly failed, is now as good a
ever. I feel that I am saved and that
I owe my good fortune to the timely
use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey."
ANDREW MAYER, 470 Grove St
Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct 30, 1906.
Tonic for the Old.
"I was ninety years of age Oot
24th, 1906, and I can truthfully say
that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey as a
tonic and stimulant for the aged is
unexcelled. It has done me more
good than any other medicine, and I
cannot say too much in praise of this
great medicine and what it has done
for me.
"I can heartily recommend it to all
old people who wish to retain their
faculties and remain strong and vig
orous. "No one except those who have
tried it can comprehend what Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey will do to build
up and strengthen the system.
"As long as the good Lord will let
me live I will always sing the praises
of your great medicinal whiskey."
MRS. MERCY WOODWORTH, Bow
dolnham. Me.
Tonic Stimulant.
"I have UBed-your whiskey as a
tonic-isttmulant for several years and
have been greatly benefited by it. I
have 'always recommended it to oth
ers, and shall continue to do so. I
believe that It is the best tonic for
old age on the market." JOSEPH
FIELD, Bergen, N. Y., Aug. 11, 1906.
Grip.
"I have received your letter, and
also your medical booklet. Thanks for
the same. I was taking your Malt
Whiskey for the Grip when I wrote
to you for your booklet. I have used
one bottle of your malt whiskey, and
It has cured me. I am 71 years old;
find Duffy's Malt Whiskey is .just
what I need for one of my age. I
read your advertlseemnt in the Kan
sas City Star, which was what in
duced me to buy your whiskey." D.

How to Exercise the
Bowels
Y
OUR Intestines are lined Inside
with millions of suckers, that
draw the Nutrition from food as
It passes them. But, if the food
passes too slowly, it decays before It gets
through. Then the little suckers draw Poison
from It Instead of Nutrition. This Poison
makes a Gas that injures your system more
- than the food should have nourished it
The usual remedy for this delayed pass
age (called Constipation) Is to take a big
dose of Castor Oil.
i "
I ' This merely make slippery the passage
for unloading the current cargo.
It does not help the Cause of delay a
trifle. It does slacken the Bowel-Muscles,
and weakens them for their next task.
I Another remedy Is to take a strong
I ''Physic." like Salts, Calomel, Jalap, Phos
phate of Sodium, Aperient Water, or any of
these mixed.
What does the "Physic" do?
It merely flushes-out the Bowels with
a waste of Digestive Juice, set . flowing Into
the Intestines through the tiny suckers.
Case arete are the only safe medicine for
the bowels.
They do not waste any precious fhud of
i the Bowels, as "Physics" do.
I They do not relax the Intestines by greas
. lng them inside like Castor Oil or Glycerine.
They simply stimulate the Bowel
Muscles to do their work naturally, com
fortably, and nutritiously.
They are put up in thin, flat, round-cornered
Enamel boxes, so they can be carried
In a man's vest pocket, or in a woman's
purse, an the time, without bulk or t-ouble.
The time to take a Cascaret Is not
only when you are Sick, but when you
first suspect you need one. Price, 10c a box.
Be very careful to get the genuine,
made only by the Sterling Remedy Company
and never sold in bulk. Every tablet
