LAFFERTY ARGUES
SETTLERS' CASE
Intervenors in 0. & C. Land
Grant Suit Say They Are
Bona Fide Claimants.
RIGHT TO TITLE IS GOOD
Proceedings in Congress Covering
Deliberations Over Original Issue
Quoted to Show What Govern
ment. Really Intended to Do.
A. W. Lafferty, representing the inter
veners in the suit of the Government
against the Oregon & California Railroad
Company, now be Ins heard before Judge
Volverton, yesterday afternoon continued
his argument in which he contended that
the intervenors were bona fide settlers
and had performed all the acts necessary
to acquire title. Mr. Lafferty read at
length from the proceedings in Congress
regarding the land grant as showing that
the decision of that body was that the
land should be sold to actual settlers.
Mr. Lafferty added that the preemtion
and homestead laws were enacted as a
means of enabling the Government to
dispose of its. lands in small tracts to the
citizens jOt the country who need land
for homes, and for the purpose of en
couraging immigration from the East to
the West That was the character of the
settlement which was contemplated in
the railroad grants. The law originally
only required that a man go out and
settle on the land, without regard to the
length of time of his residence. -
Mr. Lafferty used" one of his clients
who in 1870 settled upon a one-fourth sec
tion granted to the railway as an illus
tration of his contention that the client
in question had the right to do so.
Having complied with all the require
ments of the law, his land could not be
taken away from him by the qualified'
grant to the railroad company; that no
right of the United States and no right
of any citizen can be granted to a cor
poration or to anyone else.
I have reached the conclusion," said
Mr. Lafferty, "that Congress meant what
It said when it provided that those lands
should be sold to actual settlers, and that
an actual settler meant a person actually
occupying a given tract of land as his
home. What Congress wanted was to get
the land into private ownership, and to
avoid land monopoly."
Mr. Lafferty's closing remarks were de
voted to a definition of the trusts created
by land grants. He had not concluded
his argument at 4 o'clock when court ad
journed until 10 o'clock this morning.
Townsend Ends Argument.
The morning session of the Federal
Court yesterday, was occupied by B. F.
Townsend in concluding his argument in
behalf of the Government, the same hav
ing been continued from Thursday after
noon. He proceeded with his presenta
tion of the Government's side of the case
by declaring that so far as he knew, the
intervening settlers were acting in good
faith in endeavoring to assert their legal
rights; that Congress had directed the
Attorney-General to bring the suit and
had instructed the court to hear it, and
if found that the terms of the grant had
been violated, as charged, to enforce the
penalties.
Referring to Judge Fenton's assertion
regarding the doctrine of laches, Mr.
Townsend declared that the railroad's
counsel was well aware that the doctrine
did not apply to cases like the present
one, and cited several cases in support
of his position. There cannot be any
such laches, according to Mr. Townsend.
unless they are especially waived by
Congress. Mr. Townsend finished his ar
gument at 11 o'clock and was followed
shortly after by Mr. Lafferty, represent
ing the Intervening settlers. His opening
remarks were devoted to a denial of
Judge Fenton's intimation that his clients
were merely interlopers, but said they
were settlers, endeavoring to secure their
rights independent of the work pursued
by the Government. His argument was
continued after the noon recess and was
not completed when court adjourned at
4 o'clock. It will be resumed this morn
ing at 10 o'clock.

LEAVE COURTHOUSE ALONE
Such Is Advice of Prominent East
Side Booster.
At the meeting of the Seventh Ward
Improvement League Thursday night the
relocation of the Courthouse was dis
cussed. Many of the speakers favored
the intiative submitting the matter to a
vote of the people. John W. Campbell,
of Sellwood, spoke against the measure
saying:
"I am aware that what I am about to
say is not on the popular side of this
subject before this meeting. I am op
posed to locating the Courthouse on the
East Side, and believe that should it be
done it would result in very great extra
cost to all citizens who have business
with the departments in the building. It
certainly would result in great loss of
time in having: the Courthouse on the
East Side with the other public buildings
on the West. Side. It -would have to be
built at about Holladay avenue. People
of Sellwood and in all the suburbs would
suffer great Inconvenience and several
times the present expense. The suburbs
are the places which would suffer the in
convenience and the great expense. I
cannot see that the location of the Court
house on the East Side would even help
that portion of the city. It might help
the small section Immediately surround
ing It, but outside of a small district it
would not only not help, but. would be a
serious inconvenience. Any one can
figure out what the expense would be to
have the public buildings scattered about.
At present if one has business at the
City Hall and the Courthouse he can
transact both within a few minutes, but
if the Courthouse were located on the
East Side in Holladay Addition, he must
make additional trips across the river.
"There is another question and I am on
the unpopular side of it. Consolidation
was brought about largely on the argu
ment that It would bring free bridges. It
did. but removal of all tolls also resulted
in business being transferred to the West
Side. I believe that a small toll on the
bridges would pay for- their repair and
operation, and would help retain business
on the East Side. It would be more
effective In building up the East Side than
the location of the Courthouse. That is
my Judgment, although it is not the
popular one."
SALARIES TO BE ADJUSTED
COUNCIL TO REVISE THE PAX
SCHEDULES OF CITY.
Inconsistency Said to Exist In Rate
of Compensation Among Vari
ous Departments.
Much concern is felt in city official
circles as to the probable outcome of
a special . meeting of the committee on
accounts and current expenses of- the
City Council, which has been called- by
Chairman Menefee for 2 o'clock next
Tuesday afternoon. The committee has
before it the task of revising the salary
schedule of all city employes. Mayor
Lane having called to the attention of
the Council the fact that the pay is un
equally distributed and unjust to some
of the municipal servants. He said at
the last session that some are receiving
too much, some too little "and some
should be kicked right out of office."
Councilman Menefee, the chairman of
the committee which has this task in
hand, issued a call for the meeting and
has requested City Auditor Barbur to
have all of the heads of city departments
present, and it seems probable that each
will be asked to submit what they be
lieve will be equitable salary schedules
for their branches of the city govern
ment. An effort Is to be made to har
monize the p&y and to place the em
ployes of the various departments on an
equal footing, so that the salary per
month will be rated on the ' basis of
rank, term of service or some manner
that is fair to all.
There has never been any attempt by
the Council to arrange an equitable sal
ary schedule until this time. The em
ployes of the several departments have
come singly or In a body before the
Council from time to time, often having
no indorsement from their department
chief for increased pay; but scarcely ever
has the Council refused to grant the in
crease sought. Political Influence is said
to have cut a considerable figure in this,
as it :s said that a Councilman does not
care to incur the ill-will of any branch
of the classified civil service lists.
As a result of -the unsystematic in
creases in pay, great injustice has been
done to worthy employes, it is said. Some
have not seen fit to lay their cases be
fore the Council for an. Increase, and
have never been granted an Increase for
many years, while others' have gone be
fore the Council several times, each time
receiving their desired Increase in pay.
DRINK RUINS POLITICIAN
JOHX T. MATTIiER SEXTEXCED
TO ROCKPILE.
Was Prominent In Minneapolis Poll
tics Five Years Ago, and Was
Associate of Tom Taggart.
John T. Mattler. prominent Jive years
ago in Minneapolis politics and a former
close associate of Tom Taggart. chairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
was sentenced to SO days at the rockpile
by Municipal Judge Van Zante, yesterday
forenoon, on a double charge of drunk
enness and .begging. Mattler was operat
ing under an assumed name and his
identity would not have been known ex
cept that he was recognized by Patrol
man Riley, a former resident of Min
neapolis. "Booze" is the magic word that ex
plains the relationship between cause and
effect in Mattler's case. Dabbling in
politics, he tried to make a "good fel
low" of himself, got the whisky habit,
lost his position, his property and conse
quently his nerve and here he is. His
clothes weren't patched, but they needed
it, a bath would help his general appear
ance, while a haircut, some clean linen, a
'bar of soap and a shave would be' re
quired to restore him to a condition fit
ting him to face decent associates.
Mattler hadn't anything much to say.
He didn't put up any woeful plea. It
was plain the man's nerve is gone com
pletely and that he is a hopeless wan
derer on the face of the earth, hounded
by want and the burning thirst for
whisky and the haunting memories of
better days.
He admitted the begging. But he had
no excuse to offer. The proceedings did
not even seem to interest him. He must
have faced similar charges many times
.before within the five years that have
elapsed since he drank up his money and
lost his friends, "auilty" was the only
remark he had to make when the charge
was read to him. by Municipal Clerk
Milner.
Riley said, after the ca.se had been dis
posed of. that when he knew Mattler the
man rode about In a carriage, and was
very close to Taggart and other politi
cians of note. At that time, the officer
said. Mattler was reputed to be worth
about J16.000, besides having a good in
come and bright prospects.

the French bark Gael, Captain Savary.
arrived out yesterday. The vessel passed
Dungeness 91 days from the Columbia
River and unless something out of the
ordinary happens- she will arrive at
Queenstown today, making the voyage
from Portland to the Irish port of call
in 02 days.
The record for a fast passage to Europe
was set in 1879. when the British ship
uaumocn made the run from land to
land On 89 days and had reported at
Queenstown In 92 days after leaving the
Columbia River. The passage which
comes next in line is that of the British
ship Maohrihanish, which was made in
1892. The records of the Caithloch and
the Mtchrihanish are given by the Mer
chants Exchange and are on file in that
office. A copy of the log of the Machrl-
Jianish is In possession of E. "W. Wright
and furnishes come, interesting details of
a record-breaking run around the Horn.
According to-the log, the vessel set sail
from the Columbia January 7. 1892, and
on the first day out made 140 miles with
fine weather. The next day there was
rain and fog and only 84 miles were
made. During the balance of the voyage
the daily runs ranged from 60 miles
to 270. The record run was made March
20 during a fair wind from the north
east. On 40 days of the passage more
than 200 miles dally were logged. Only
on two days did the run drop to 60
miles, one at the beginning and one at
the end of the route. It will be a matter
of hours and minutes whether the Gael
or Maohrihanish stands in second place.
The Gael cleared from Portland on the
last day in November with a cargo of
1,438,374 feet of lumber for the United
Kingdom for orders. She crossed out
over the Columbia River bar three days
later and started on the record -tielng run
for the United Kingdom. The Gael was
built in 1901 and while never making a
slow passage, this is her-first perform
ance as a record sailing ship. She is a
bark: in rig and Is as trim a craft as
has entered the river. She is equipped
with a donkey and all the modern ma
chinery for sailing vessels.
TEDDO TO SAIL- TOMORROW

L-umber to Australia.
Under charter to carry a part cargo
of lumber from Portland to Australia,

the steamship at Eureka and about the
same amount will be cleared from Port
land. The berth of the Teddo at the Portland
Lumber Mills will be taken Immediately

S. S. S. is the one and only reliable and certain cure for Contagious
Blood Poison. This claim is not based on the treatment of a few cases of
the disease, here and there, but its success extends over a period of more
than forty years, during; which time thousands upon thousands have found a
cure by the use of this great vegetable remedy. S. S. S. is first of all, an abso
lutely perfect blood purifier, able to go down Into the blood and remove every
particle of the virus of Contagious Blood Poison. It cleanses and purifies the
circulation, and in this way removes the cause of the trouble. Then nature,
assisted by a rich, healthy blood supply, quickly renovates and renews the
system, while the symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, skin eruptions,
discolored splotches, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc., disappear, leaving
the body entirely free from the effects of this insidious poison. When S. S. S.
has thoroughly cleansed and purified the circulation there is no danger of
any future outbreak the blood is pure and the cause of the disease entirely
removed. Home Treatment Book containing- many valuable and helpful
suggestions for those who are curing themselves with S. S. S., and any medical
advice desired sent free to all who write.
