(Special.) In action and refusal by officials of the Interior Department and Congress to approve of lieu school land selections made by the state 10 years ago is blamed for lack of progress by the Land Board in selecting remaining acreage to which it is entitled by rea son of scrip which it holds. In addition to 45.000 acres which have yet to be selected, there are 9668.02 acres of land upon which the state has been unable to induce the Federal Government to act. These lands were selected before Mr. West became Gov ernor between 1906 and 1910. according to records of the State Land Office, and action at Washington has been pending ever since. Under conditions now existing it has seemed apparent to members of the Land Board that, if further selections were made, it would only add to the unapproved acreage. It is estimated that the area selected, but to" which the Government has not given the state title, is worth at least $100,000, and applications to purchase the entire acreage have been on file with the State Land Board for several years. The applicants paid one-fifth of the purchase price to the state, or about S10.000, but because of Federal inaction made no deferred payments. Private Application Graated. On account of the inability of the state to procure Federal action upon the selections already made it has been the policy of the Land Board in the past where applicants desired to use other scrip to relinquish to the Government, and allow filings of other scrip on the land. In this way private purchasers have been able to obtain title to lands desired without delay. "The Government usually will act on these private selections without much delay, but when it comes to state selections apparently nothing can be accomplished." said George Brown, Sec retary of the State Land Board today. Mr. Brown said he knew of no reason why Government officials should ap parently show preference to private individuals. Last week Governor Withycombe took up the matter of school lands with Senator Chamberlain and other mem bers of the Oregon Congressional dele gation. He emphasized the necessity from the standpoint of the state's in terests, of procuring the passage of a bill at this session of Congress effect ing a change of certain school lands and indemnity rights within the Na tional forests of the state for an equal area of National forest land in one compact body. Farther Change Proposed. . "We think this is very important to the interests of the state." the ex ecutive advised Senator Chamberlain, "particularly In view of the fact that it will be of very great assistance In strengthening our forestry work in the department of forestry at Oregon Agri cultural College, and in the end will very materially augment our irreduc ible public s.-hool fund." In a lettir received by Governor Withycombe recently the Department of the Interior gave notice that it had prepared and transmitted to the chair men of the committees on public land of the Senate and House a tentative draft of a measure which it was de clared would expedite the adjustment of the school-grant question. Under the department's- plan, it.- Is proposed that the state relinquish its claim to all .surveyed or , unsurveyed school sections in the National forests, and "select in lieu thereof other unap propriated non-mineral lands of ap proximately equal value designated by the Secretary of Agriculture and lying within the present boundaries of any National forest within the state." The measure of the Interior Depart ment in which the exchange is to be based upon value rather than upon area it is believed will meet the ob jections encountered when the West measure was introduced during the 63d Congress. The former measure pro posing the exchange of an equal area of land was killed, it is said, prin cipally because of the fear that no equitable exchange could be made. CANDIDATES GET NOTICE SEJf ATOR C D. CUSICK WOULD ABOLISH RECORDERS HIP. Llna County Legislator Says He Will Endeavor to Have Office Eliminated by Law. ALBANY, Or.. Jan. 24. (Special.) Senator E. D. Cusick has given candi dates for County Recorder notice that he will attempt to have the office abolished by the next Legislature. If the effort to eliminate the office in all, the counties now having it fails, he will endeavor to have the office in Linn County alone abolished. The fol lowing counties now elect County Re corders: Benton. Clackamas. Jackson. Linn, Marion. Umatilla, Union. Wash ington and Tamhill. Senator Cusick's statement follows: When I declared my desire to becom a State Senator I promised to use my bt efforts to reduce commissions and consoli date offices. Owing to the fact that the time was too brief to grt a workable van we accomplished very little in this direc tion. I have not forgotton my pledge and t HAIR COMING OUT?

CHILDREN HATE PILLS, CALOMEL AND CASTOR OIL Give Fruit Laxative When Cross, Bilious, Feverish Constipated. or "California Syrup of Figs' Can't Harrn Tender Stomach, . " Liver, Bowels. Look back at your childhood days Remember the "cose' mother Insisted on castor oil. calomel, cathartics. How you hated them, how you fought against taking them. With our children it's different. Mothers who cling t the old form of physio simply don't realize what they do. The children's revolt Is well-founded. Their tender little "Insldes" are in jured by them. If your child's stomach, liver and bowels need cleansing, give only deli cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its action is positive, but gentle. Millions of mothers keep this harmless "fruit laxative" handy; they know children love to take It; that it never fails to clean -.ne liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach, and that a teaspoonful given today saves a sick child tomor row. Ask your druggist for a BO-cent bot tl of "California jyrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on each bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. See that it is made by "Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company." Refuse any ther kinU with contempt. Adv. hall still favor retrenchment along this line and shall urge It In county offices as well as in state offices. There is a move to abolish the office of County Recorder throughout the state, which I heartily approve, but If this is not carrleu, - I promise to pass an act through the State Senate abolishing the office in Linn County and If the members of the House of Representatives from this county approve the bill It will become a law. I want to make this announcement now so that candidates for this office will have warning that the office will be abolished before the close of the next term. The fact that administration of the state Is in the control of Republicans will not deter me from carrying out the pledges heretofore made to consolidate offices, com missions and departments and to promote efficient and economical administration. ireIpsIbe sold LOUIS LACHMtSD REPORTED TO HAVE TAKEN 8000 BALES. E. Clemens Herat Predicts Lower Prices, bat Says Association Has Benefited Growers. SALEM, Or., Jan. 24. (Special.) Reports today were that the Oregon Hopgrowers' Association had sold 8000 bales of its holdings to Louis Lachmund for an average price of 12 cents, but association officers refused to confirm the amount. They admitted, however, that Lachmund had purchased a large block. M. L. Jones, president of the associa tion, said that another large deal was pending besides the one with E. Clemens Horst. Mr. Horst was in con ference with association officers today. Prediction that the hop market would see a slump before long was made by Mr. Horst today, who de clared that the large stock on the Pacific Coast yet unsold did not justify high values. "The association in Ore gon has been a great benefit to the grower this year," said Mr. Horst. "It has maintained prices by obtaining such a large proportion of the crop." Mr. Horst said the end of the European war would witness a decided fall in values, as he declared the European stocks would then flood the market in America. FORGER YET BEING HELD Fate of C. W. Morrison Hangs on Arrival of Los Angeles Officer. The fate of Charles W. Morrison, son of a wealthy stock owner of Corona, New Mexico, who got into the toils of the Portland police on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses, now hangs on whether the agent of the Los Angeles police department can reach Portland before Wednesday at 2 o'clock. Judge Stevens announced that he would bold Morrison until that time for the Los Angeles authorities. An officer started from Los Angeles yesterday to take Morrison back. Morrison came to Portland following a romantic courtship and marriage in Los Angeles, bringing his bride, for merly Miss Adele B. Robinson, of Los Angeles, with him. He was able to settle for the amounts due here, and his victims declined to prosecute. STORE THIEF SENT TO JAIL Effort of Millman to Convince Court He Mas Mania Fails.
