NOTHING TO STAND
IN WAY OF SUIT
Government's Case Against
0. & C. Must Not Be
Jeopardized.
PRESIDENT WILL APPROVE
Convinced That Fulton's Resolution
Should Go Through as It Stands.
Mondell Resolution , Prevents
the Settlement of Lauds.
OREXrONI AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
iifgtcm. March 2. Now that Repre
sentative Hawlcy has aroused the
President's interest in pending legisla
tion authorizing the Attorney-General
to Institute buit looking to the forfei
ture of the unpatented portion of the
. Oregon & California land grants. It
may be taken for granted that no
loaded" measure will De enacted into
law. Indeed, it may now be safely pre
dicted that the Fulton resolution as
passed by the Senate will be adopted
without cbangp, the President having
been convinced that that measure
eliould go through in its present form.
Mr. Hawley had a conference with
t ne President today regarding the
resolution and found him favoring its
passage without amendment. He also
tltlnks that nothing should be allowed
to stand in the way of the prosecution
of the Government's suit. Mr. Hawley
also lutd a talk with Speaker Cannon
and Teamed that the resolution is
privileged under the rules of the House
and may be called up at any time.
This will probably occur some time
next week.
Nothing Must Hurt Case.
There will be no opposition to a
f urtlier resolution along the lines of
that introduced by Representative
Alondell today, which will prevent set
tlement or entry upon any lands which
the Government may recover as the
result of suits, provided the subse
quent resolution is not amended in a
way which will tend to jeopardize the
Government's case against the railroad
company. Should any joker be slipped
into this resolution It will not get past
the I 'resident, who has the right of
veto. The MondeU .resolution is not all
the; lumbermen ask, for they want the
Government at this time absolutely to
contlrm their titles, regardless of the
effect it may have upon the main suit
against the railroad, but inasmuch as
it is Townsend's firm conviction that
. any such confirmation title at this
time would endanger the Government's
case, there is no probability that the
AloudoU resolution will be altered to
meet the demands of the lumbermen.
Certain Amendments Possible.
It may be amended, however. In a way
which will prevent the Attorney-General
from enjoining the cutting of timber on
lands bought by lumber companies and
others, pending the determination of the
suits which the Government may insti
tute, for there Is a general disposition
in the Oregon delegation and in Congress
generally to permit purchasers from the
railroad to continue in full possession
ftnd use of their lands while emits are
in progress. Passage of the Mondell res
olution, however, would oust settlers who
have gone on railroad lands since the
agitation began and would also annul
all contracts on agreement made by
shyster lawyers who have undertaken to
locate settlers on these lands on promise
of tremendous protlts.
later, after the suit ugainft the rail
rbarf company has been concluded. Con
gress can, under the Mondell resolution,
confirm sales made by the railroad com
pany or make other settlements with
innocent purchasers as it sees tit and it
will simultaneously prescribe the man
ner in which lands recovered by the
Government shall he disposed of. The
two resolutions taken together seem to
afford all the just relief that can be ex
tended at this time without impairing
the Government's case against the rail
road company. The President will not
approve any legislation which weakens
the main suit, for he declares the in
terests of the Government are para
mount to all others and must be care
fully guarded.
Harrlman Attorney Lobbying.
In the last few days Harrimans at
torney, who was once a member of Con
gress, has been on the floor of the House
lobbying in behalf of the lumbermen's
amendment. This cannot be prevented,
but it is not aiding the cause of pur
chasers. No more are they benefited by
reason of the fact that the Democrats
have awakened to a realisation that If
the suit against the railroad is defeated
through trickery, or otherwise Congress
will be literally making Harriman a do
nation of IS.000,000.
In whatever subsequent legislation may
be enacted Congress will have to safe
guard the interests of the Government
or there will be trouble between Con
gress and the White House.

lows: That none of the lands granted by either
or any of the acts of Congress referred to
and mentioned In Senate Joint resolution No.

THIS BOOK IS EXPENSIVE
List of Oregon Hopgrowers Costs
the Publishers $700.
Twenty-flve dollars a copy seems to be
a big price to charge for a book, es
pecially when the volume is small'
enough to slide into a man's vest pocket.
However, this Is the sum Conrad Krebs,
the Salem hopman, asked and received
for a work of which he is the author,
although his name does not appear on
the title page. The first edition was a
limited one. but was sold as soon as it
was out of the binder's hands.
The book is 'merely a list of 1S00 or
more farmers of Oregon who conceived
the idea of getting rich quickly by grow
ing hops and now wish they were grow
ing something else Instead. But as they
are in the business and cannot very
easily get out. it occurred to Mr. Krebs
that a list of these planters, with their
addresses and acreage, would be a valu
able thing for a dealer, of which he is
also one.
It cost Mr. Krebs and the promoters
of the late Hopgrowers' I'nion J700 to se
cure this list. As only about a score of
hop merchants have any use for the
publication, this explains the steep price
asked for It. To anyone else than a.
hopbuyerthe book would not be worth
'S rents, but from the eagerness with
which the dealers have subscribed for
It. it is evident the book tills a long-felt
want In its particular field.

Y. SI. C. A. ATHLETES TO TALK
Object to Attitude of P. X. A. on
Professionalism in Athletics.
SPOKANE, Wash., March 27. (Spe
cial.) A conference of the Northwestern
members of the Athletic League .of
North America, composed for the mpst
part of physical directors of the Y. M.
C. A., and affiliated with the Amateur
Athletic Union, has been quietly called
at Seattle Monday to protest against the
action of the P. N. A. in allowing pro
fessionals to resume their amateur
standing on short notice. The objection
is that the A. A. I", rules demand that
a rear's notice be given by the applicant
signifying his intention of becoming art
amateur and that is the clause which is
being grossly disobeyed, according to
the Athletic League..
The meetings will also enunciate Y. M.
C. A. principles In athletics.- It is hint
ed that If the other associations do not
like the action of the Athletic League,
that association will withdraw from par
ticipation in meets and competitions,
feeling that it is strong enough to be a
factor in sports and should have its say
In the way they are conducted. J. T.
Cowley, physical director at the Y. M.
C. A., expects to represent Spokane at
the meeting.

Hood's Sarsaparilla
Restores the Appetite,
TONES THE STOMACH AIDS DIGESTION
Loss of appetite is one of the first indications that the system
is running down.
Ton Sit Sown to the table from force of habit, but you. lack
a healthy longing for food. Your digestive organs seem torpid or
paralyzed don't. want to work.
Your Head Seems DnB, oppressed, or has a sickly ache. The
most wholesome temptng dwh are set aside orvso lightly taken as
not to afford moch nourishment.
Then the blood, not being well supplied, loses vitality, it does
not carry strength through the body, and debility, languor, that tired
feeling, are the result.
Hood's Sazsaparilla supplies the great need in this condition.
Thousands testify that it restores a healthy appetite, tones the
stomach, aids digestion,, gives relish to food, and makes eating the
pleasure it shonid be. . ,
Loss of Appetite is common in the spring. Now is the time to
take Hood 's Sarsaparilla, the one great Spring Medicine. Get a
bottle and begin to take it today.
Under the Pure Food and Drugs Law, no change was necessary
in Hood's Sarsaparilla to conform to the law or to pnbHc senti
ment. It is perfectly safe, pure, genuine and reliable.
' 'I Had No Eelish for Food, and had a th-ed, exhausted feeling '
in the morning on waking, a drowsy, nnambrtiorjs mood affected me
during the day, and I felt the need of something to stimulate and
infuse new life. By taking a single bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla
my appetite improved and I was generally revived. I sincerely rec
ommend Hood's Sarsaparilla." C H. Gillespie, Accord, N. T.
