mended by the special committee as
were recommended. It was voted to
ask the Anti-Saloon I.eaKUe to secure
from each candidate a statement of his

As soon as Mr. Md oui;.ill stood to

When the candidate for ShtirtfT were

'"notrilnn cood Is to be ;.td about hirn."
The ministers asked about W. H. Mo
linitswortli. To this Mr. .McPotiKall
said. "There Is nnthinc acalnst him,
but Mr. Wilson Is to be preferred." He
said also there is nobody in the race

TITLE HOLDS GOOD
Homesteader May Keep Lands
Taken When Unsurveyed.
STATE'S CLAIM SECONDARY
Interior Department Knles Settler
Who Takes Tract Which Later
Proves to Bo St a te s M a y
Hold It. Despite Courts.
OREGOX1AN NEWS BL'KKAL', Wash
ington. March 4. Decisions of State
Supreme Courts to the contrary not
withstanding, the Interior Department
is holding that where a person quali
fied to make homestead entry makes
bona tide settlement upon unt-urveyed
lands with the intention of making
homestead entry thereof when the land
shall have been surveyed, he may make
such entry even though the land set
tled upon Is found upon survey to be
a portion of section Hi or 36. and that
In such case the state may select other
land In lieu of that lost by such prior
settlement claim. '
This has been the ruling of the
Interior Department for a number of
years. The Supreme Court of the State
of Washington January 4, 1 !UL', held
that sections 16 and 36. whether sur
veyed or unsurveyed, passed to the
state by virtue of the enabling act,
and that the title of the state could
not be defeated by a settlement claim
initiated thereon prior to survey under
the homestead laws.
Department la Inlnf luenced.
The Supreme Court of the State of
Idaho also ruled similarly, and so
have other state supreme courts, hut
those decisions have not been binding
upon the Federal Government, and in
fact have been virtually overruled by
contrary holdings of tiie Interior De
partment. Strange to say, this question has
never been carried to the United.
States Supreme Court from any state,
and therefore the decision of the In
terior Department Is binding,- unless
reversed by that court. The Washing
ton case, recently decided by the Su
preme Court of that state cannot be
carried to the United States Supreme
Court, as that decision was rendered in
reference to the entry of Kdward H.
Whitney, and Whitney's entry was
canceled for failure to comply with
the law.
There has been considerable interest
in anot her Washington rase involving
the right of the state to sections 1
and P.. prior to survey t he case of
the State of Washington vs. Frank A.
Ott. Ott settled on a quarter section
of land in the Waterville land district,
prior to Its survey, and after the Map
of survey of that particular township
was filed. Ott tiled homestead applica
tion. The st:te protested. aUeeing that
th1 lands, beinc embraced in a school
section, the state's title attached as
of the date of admission of the state.
XttM Claim I pbeld.
Ott showed that he set tie on the
land in lf')5. resided thereon con
tinuously thereafter; made it his home,
and improved It, and tiled his home
stead application July 22, 1!0S, five
days after the survey was approved.
The Interior Department. In December,
held Ott's claim good as against the
state. Following this ruling, the state
submitted a copy of Its Supreme Court
decision in the Wliitney case, and
asked for reversal of the decision of
last December, but this motion was
denied, and the department stands pat.
From this record It Is to be In
ferred that the Interior Department
will not recognize that a state's title
to a school section attaches until the
particular section is surveyed, and then
only In the event there is no previous
adverse claim. Where the state loses a
section by this means, however, the
department holds it Is entitled to make
an indemnity selection, but cannot ac
quire the particular section on which a
prior settlement was made.

Catarrh is a blood disease which causes a peneral inflammation of the
inner linings or mucous membranes of the body. The diseasing of these
delicate surfaces and tissues produces all the well known symptoms of the
trouble, such as ringing noises in the head and ears, tight, stuffy feeling in
the nose, pains above the eyes, irritation of the throat, sometimes slight
fever, and a general feeling of weakness and ill health. Even the lungs
become affected by the continual passage of impure blood through them, and
there is danger of consumption if the disease is allowed to remain in the
system. S. S. S. cures Catarrh because it purines the blood. It goes into
the circulation and removes every particle of the catarrhal matter, making
this vital fluid pure, rich and healthy. Then the inflamed membranes begin
to heal, every svmptom disappears, the constitution is built up and health
restored. S. S.'S. rids the svstem of catarrh by attacking the trouble at lt3
bead and entirely removing the cause from the blood, thus making a perma-en-
orM latino- Mr. S. S. S. is made entirely from health-giving roots

IKES NEW PACT f
Break With Northwestern Line
Said to Have Occurred as
Result of an Alliance.
PORTLAND LIKELY TO GAIN
Milwaukee Koad Will Handle Trains
5 and 6 Rc-tween This City and
Chicago, Instead of lJoute
Csed for Years.
Sirns were apparent yesterday that
a break probably had occurred in the
relations between the Harriman lines
and the Chicago &- Northwestern Kail
road, as a seeming result of the al
liance recently effected between the
Chicago & Northwestern and the North
ern Pacific. This break was indi
cated by an arrangement made yester
day by the O.-W. H. &- N. Company to
route its trains No. 5 and No. t. oper
ating between Portland and Clikaeo,
over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul tracks between Omaha and Chi
cago, instead of over t lie Chicago &
Northwestern line, as at present.
The new arrangement will t?o into
effect within a tew- days, but for the
present will not disturb the schedule
of trains movinK in and out of Port
land. No. 5 will continue to arrive in
this city at 12:4.". P. M. and No. 6 will
continue to leave at 8 P. M.. operating
between Portland and Omaha over the
O.-W. R. & N.. Oregon Short Line and
Vnion Pacific. At Omaha, however,
the interchange of business will be
made with the Milwaukee road Instead
of with the Northwestern.
Both the -Milwaukee and the North
western use the same depot at Omaha,
but at Chlcapro the Northwestern has
its own new station, while the Milwau
kee trains run into the old t'nicn Lie
pot, which is across Canal street from
the Northwestern Depot.
Milwaukee Line to iet Freight.
Mow- the freisht business will be di
vided at Omaha has not been deter
mined, but it is probable that the Mil
waukee w-ill receive a larirer portion
of that ori&rinatiner in Harriman terri
tory than heretofore. At present tne
Vnion 1'acitic delivers nearly all its
competitive freight to the Northwest
ern and receives the Northwestern
patronage in return. '
Although the present schedule of
train's No. 5 and No. 6 will not meet
with interference, it is probable that
a readjustment may be made within a
short time to better accommodate the
Milwaukee service.
On acccount of- this prospective
change and because of the constantly
inoreasing traffic between Portland,
Salt Lake City and Western Colorado,
the Harriman officials are considering
the advisability of placing in service
a new fast passenger train between
Portland and Salt Lake City. This
train may be put in commission early
in tne coming Summer to accommodate
the heavy travel to the Northwest from
Utah and Western Colorado points, as
well as to care for the east-bound
Summer tourist business, much of
which is routed through Salt Lake
City and eastward over the Denver &
Rio Grande.
Western Situation ChnnKlnK.
While the mere transfer of one train
from the Northwestern to the Milwau
kee is. of little consetiuence in itself.
It is regarded as significant of a step
toward a general readjustment of the
railroad situation in the West and the
Northwest.
When the Northwestern agreed to
handle the Northern Pacific's North
Coast Limited betw'een St. Paul and
Chicago, the Harriman interests, which
had a paternal control of the North
western, were not only offended, it is
said, but they were confronted with
the probability of a new competitor in
Oregon and Washington, a.s the agree
ment was understood to Include a di
vision of traffic originated by the
Northwestern and destined to com
petitive territory in the Northwest.
R. B. Miller, traffic manager of the
O.-W. It: : N. Company, denied yes
terday that the Harriman lines had
broken their alliance with the Chicago
& Northwestern, saying that the east
bound passenger traffic was merely
being adjusted.
When the alleged break between the
Northwestern and the Harriman lines
llrst threatened it was believed that
the Harriman interests would select
the Illinois Central us its gateway be
tween Omaha and Chicago, as the late
K. H. Harriman had succeeded. in
wresting control of the Illinois Central
front Stuyvesant Kish.
. Motr Likely to BcucHI Portland.
The Illinois Central, however, had
rnlliintr to trive the Harrititan line in
I return, it is said, and the Milwaukee
I was selected. And in this tiie move
' is particularly significant to Portland.
R. B. Miller, traffic manager or tne
O.-W. K. N. Company, held a con
ference last week with R. M. Calkins,
traffic manager of the Chicago. Mil
waukee & Puget Sound road, follow
ing which Miller said that arrange
ments had been made for an inter
change of traffic between the O.-W. R.
& N. lines and the Milwaukee at Ma
rengo, Wash., as soon as the O.-W. K.
& S. cutoff between Spokane and that
point had been completed. The Milwau
kee has contracted to operate its
trains over this track. Marengo is
the Junction on the Milwaukee main
line.
It is probable that after the com
pletion of this piece of track the Mil
waukee equipment will be brought into
Portland over the O.-W. R. & N. line
in a similar manner to that in which
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern enter Portland over the North
Bank.
The new contract, therefore, may be

Corbin. Kan. "My troubles began alone
In the summer in the hottest weather and took
the form of small eruptions and it chine and a
kind of smarting pain. It took me mostly ail
over my back and kept pettine worse until
finally my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would bum and itch at night
so that I could hardly stand it. This condi
tion kept getting worse and worse until my
back was a solid mass of big sores which
would break open and run. My underclothing
would be a clot of blood.
"I tried various blood medicines and other
remedies and salves for nearly three years and
I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep on my
back or lean back on a chair. I was finally
given a set of the Cuticura Remedies by my
brother who recommended them to me very
highly. I started using the Cuticura Remedies
and inside of two weeks I could see and feel
a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and aLo the Resolvent, and in
about three or four months' time my back
was nearly cured and I felt like a new beiBg.
Now I am in good health and no sign of any
skin diseases and 1 am fully satisfied that
Cuticura Remedies are the best ever made for
skin diseases. I will always recommend them
to anybody who will use according to direc
