M'LOUGHLIX'S CHART OF" OREGON CITY. Sapreme Justice Holds Town Owns Slope Strip, bat Must Bay Top Land From Mrs. Chase for Elevator. , SALEM, Or., Oct. 6. (Special.) Part of the early history of Oregon City, In which Dr. John McLoughlin played a leading part, is written in an opinion by the Supreme Court today in the case of Sarah A. Chase against the city. The action relates to a landing at the pali sade for a public elevator, the court holding, in an opiinoin by Justice Mc Nary, that the plaintiff owns a strip of land extending from block 24 to the edge of the palisade, and that the city owns a sloping strip extending from the edge of the bluff to the boundary of the Southern Pacific Company's right of way. As a result of the ruling the city is entitled to the use of the sloping strip, but must acquire the strip at the top of the palisade from Mrs. Chase 1 it fuses it for the elevator landing. The opinion holds that a may of the city, made at the direction of Dr. McLough lin in 1844, is valid, and excludes one made by J. B. Preston, Surveyor-General, in 1851. Dr. McLoughlin recorded his map, which was made by Jesse Applegate, in 185, and conveyed numerous lotls by reference to the plat. He, however, was an alien and had no title to the property. That the title of purchasers could not be questioned. Congress in I860 passed the "donation act," con firming titles to the purchasers. The Oregon Legislature took similar action in 1851. However, Congress in giving title to the purchasers of the land made a provision that the proceeds of the land unsold should be applied to the establishment of a university. The Leg islature in 1863 -accepted the Govern ment's grant to the Oregon City claim, but Immediately conveyed title to the heirs of Dr. McLoughlin.

THE NERVES AND THEIR NEEDS We do not give much thought to our nervous system when it is working all right but when it goes wrong nature has a way of calling it forcibly to our attention by something that we cannot overlook pain. . Try to reach a painful nerve with medicine of any sort and you are con fronted with a fact that every doctor knows, that the only way to reach the nerves is through the blood. Tou see now why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the great tonic for the blood, are also a great nerve builder. YV hen a nerve becomes inflamed and painful it Is unless caused by an accident be cause the blood was not giving It .the elements of nourishment needed. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the blood, the nerves are strengthened, the In flammation subsides and the pain van ishes. By keeping the blood rich and red by. the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the danger of nervous breakdown, insomnia, nervous Indigestion and other disorders caused by ill - nourished nerves is greatly lessened. In children the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills banishes the fear of St. Vitus' dance. The Dr. Williams Medicine Co.. Schenectady. N.
