The signing- by the President of the

what they contended were their rights.
In this controversy Representative Lat

In the faca of the greatest discourage

the Slleu district about 10I. Some
were ready, tarourn commutation, to
present final proof in 1501 and 104 but
the Government delayed the hearings

that, because the land was Immensely

entered upon their claims with bona

the claims as soon as patents were se

abandoned their contests, but others
clubbed together and prosecuted several
appeals, only to be beaten again and

Washington bearing the slgnaturea of
thousands of residents of Oregon were
also of no avail.
A relief bill passed at the last ses

the President at the request of the
Interior Department. This time, how

Taft ot the exact aituation before the
bill came to him for signature and It
was approved.
Between 4') and 50 Sllcts settlers may

'The most remarkable feature of the

Richard W. Lawrence, vice-president and
treasurer of Printers' Ink. Mr. Lawrence

due to the desire to become acquainted

San Francisco Example Cited.
I was In San Francisco tho other day
and attended a Prese Club dinner, at
which the theme waa 'The Fair.' Now I
regard the fair aa one of your concrete
examples of winning by community of
Interest, for all your Industrial develop
ment agencies gathered around the one
flag and woke up tho whole country with
your noise. You got Congress to Indorse
your project At the dinner I heard all
the speakers, and there was almost a
loirlon. They all talked San Francisco
and what she had got. It was Ban Fran
cisco fire and the fair second.
"The thought came to mind that it was
one case where the "community of Inter
est' might be set aside. The fair Is a
National project. It is international tn
character. Efforts abould be made to
extend Its welcome to all the world. It
la ' broader than San Francisco. The
spirit should be international and not
swamped by the 'community Interest.'
"However, the Coast la a splendid coun
try and lta future will be the most mag
nificent and the most wonderful of any
section of this world, I believe. It Is
remarkable for its purchasing power.
I have been astounded and astonished
ever since I have been out here at this
feature. Tou buy more, consume more
and use more In proportion to your popu
lation than any other section of the
country that I know of. I am told you
have fnt per capita In deposit In the
bank the largest of any city In the
world. That accounts for your purchas
ing power. It is a wonderful advertising
card and you should advertise it through
out the East. The Eastern man thinks
of these things. 'Portland's Purchasing
Power Largest In the World' would make
a good headline in the newspapers and It
would bring good returns."

CHINESE ARE GUILTY
Attorney Accuses Physicians
of Selfish Interests.
"HARD SET," SAYS GILTNER
Despite Attack on Medical Board
Jury Finds Six Chinese "Doctors"
Have Been Practicing: With
out Licenses.
'Doctors ara the nardest set I ever
knew of," said Attorney GUtner to a
jury In Municipal Court, yesterday, argu
ing for the acquittal of six Chinese
doctors. ' charged with practicing with
out a license. "I never knew of one
that wouldn't backbite another. Every
session of the Legislature, these profes
sionals have, a bill, the allopaths against
the homeopaths, or both against the
osteopaths, or all against someone else,
and they always slip In Jokers by which
one party seeks to trap another, even
while they ara co-operating to do up
someone else."
That the science of medicine Is in Its
Infancy, and that some elements of the
truth are in possession of each of the
many schools, was the contention of the
attorney. He appealed to the doctrine
of personal liberty in behalf of his
clients. He excoriated the use of "stool
pigeons" In getting evidence against
them.
After promising the court that they
would plead guilty yesterday morning,
the Chinese defendants sprang a sur
prise by coming In and demanding a
Jury. At first the court was disposed to
refuse the application, under the rule
y-.at the demand must be made when
continuance is secured, but the point
was yielded.
Two men testified that they had gone
to one of the "doctors" it being agreed
that the evidence in one case should be
taken for all and that they underwent
the usual diagnosis, after which medi
cine was supplied them.
The Jury returned a verdict of guilty
against the six Chinese on trial.
Earlier In the day the Medical Board
won the first battle 'In the campaign It
Is conducting to "clean up the medical
profession," when Judge Taxwell ren
dered a decision In the deferred case of
F. W. Blohm, finding the defendant
guilty and fining him $50. He Is an
electrical practitioner, and admitted on
the stand that he had qualified by two
months' study in "correspondence
schools" at an outlay of $20.
Seven other defendants remain to be
tried, and most of their cases - are set
for today. All have demanded trial by
Jury.
The outcome of these cases Is pleas

will not "cure" appendicitis nor will any other cereal food. The
excessive eating of indigestible foods, however, gradually brings on
stomach and bowel disorders and these can be prevented by a
daily diet of thoroughly cooked cereals. Shredded Wheat is best
for this purpose because it is steam-cooked, shredded and twice
baked, retaining the bran coat, which is so valuable in keeping
the bowels healthy and active. :
Heat the Biscuit in the oven to restore crispness and serve with'hot or cold milk and a little cream,
adding salt or sugar to. suit the taste. It also makes delicious combinations with stewed or preserved

Residents of stations on the Estacada

aroused over Increase in fares made by
the company to and from Portland. Sta

submitted to the Railroad Commission,
which suspended the increased fares for
60 days pending a hearing before the

The old fares were In force for 10 years
and the residents along the line are pre
