BALLOT CHANGE PROPOSED fclatc Grange and Farmers' Vniou .Delegates Advise Again.-! Aid. for .Single Tax Measure, v. Others Speak for It. Indorsement and promise of aid to the "people's land and loan bill to .Be Initiated and voted on in November, not. however, without voicing of oppo sition and warning by certain state grange and farmers" union delegates, wan the outstanding feature of the third day's session of the Oregon State Federation of Labor at the Central Li brary auditorium yesterday. In addition the body appointed dele gates to the forthcoming state Irriga tion, drainage and rural credits confer ence: postponed action on the women s minimum wage law until chances for its betterment can be investigated: pro posed changes in the election machin ery and referendum voting on officer of the federation by the unions, and heard an address by President Marsh, of the Washington Labor Federation, to abolish by initiative laws the pri vate "fake employment bureaus." Delegates Not Ismtnicted. The delegates named to represent the body at the forthcoming slate con ference to draft blkla to carry out the irrigation, drainage and rural credit movement are T. If. Burchard. E. J. black. Andy Matson. It. A. Williams and Otto Hartwlg. No instructions were given, other than they are to co-operate with the farmers' union and state grange dele gates. The conference will be in Port lam! about February 17. It will be made up of delegate from other or ganizations, civic and commercial. Most of the afternoon session of the convention was taken up in debating the "people's land and loan bill." The measure is purely & single tax proposi tion, augmented by a state loan feature which, its sponsors say. Is Intended to aid the man who seeks a home at a low rate of interest and long-time payments. Bill Regarded aa Panacea. Eugene E. Smith, one of a committee on unemployment which drafted the measure, spoke in its behalf, and sought to show how it would be a panacea for unemployment and? a lot of other economic evils. He pointed out that some had characterised the bill as "confiscatory." but he said it was simply "restitution." He said Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the late Federal Industrial Rela tions Commission; W. S. U'Ken and others Indorsed it. and the American Federation of Labor had received with favor the principles that underlie it at its recent annual convention at San Francisco when he presented it. He declared that 30.000 signatures would be secured to the bill to initiate it through the unions of the state. C. E. Spence. master of the State Grange, thought that the convention would make a mistake in hooking up the single-tax proposition with it and initiating and fathering the measure, because he believed "three-fourths of the farmers of the state were antago nistic" to the single tax. Some of its features he thought were good, but he questioned whether they would be a panacea for the ills which are intended to be cured. He thought the "specu ; lative land values which the single- taxers talked about were heightened sort of a bugaboo." He further said that the Stale Grange would hardly indorse the bill. Farmers' I s ion Delegate Dubious. F. A. Sikes, Farmers' Union delegate, was In doubt about it. He thought the farmer was too much of an individual ist to stand for it. However, he neither . condemned nor advocated the measure. He ventured the statement that per haps the farmers had been educated ' upon it more or less and might be fur ther educated. W. S.- U'Ren. T. H. Burchard. E. J. Stack. Arthur Brock. Andy Matson and others favored the ' programme with reference to the bill. It. A. Williston. however, said there were things in it that he could not digest and others that he could not subscribe to now. The vote for indorsement, as recom mended by the law and legislative com mittee, was 48 to 2. Amendments to the constitution and bylaws of the federation will be- taken up today. One is to provide that the number of ballots coequal with the number of members of a union be sent to every affiliated union to be voted for officers of the federation. Hereto Jore. only one ballot was sent to a union, with the candidates on it and that was filled out and returned to the .ecretary with the vote of the union. Under this system only 50 members cf a union with 200 members might -ote on officers, and the entire vote would be counted for the federation efficer who received a majority of the 60 votes. The new system Is to make more members vote. "When 1 saw where you had adopted .. T-..olinlon condemning the private Jake employment bureaus and favored any legislation tnal wouio, aooii!.n them. I was pleased." declared Ernest -u.r.t. in addressing the convention. if you do nothing else In Oregon but J, no'ck out these evils you will have accomplished much." Considerable discussion was precip itated over the recommendation of the resolutions committee to re-refer the woman's minimum wage measure to the executive board for investigation a rid rtmort next year. Mrs. L. Gee. one of the most active workers in this movement, pointed out that there were many things affecting the women wageworkers besides the wage question, one of which was the difficulty encountered in prganizing vomen. l'.usene Smith thought there were ume statements in me rraoiuimii which might not accord with the facts, snd he thoueht it was wise to refer the matter for Investigation, so that the jiext convention would be able to act i:nnn It more Intelligently. Ocbate over the recommendation of the committee on law and legislation jiot to concur ia the one-day-rest-in-t-even resolution developed a belief that the original measure might be taken aa n indorsement by the federation of the Sunday closing law. and there was general opposition to any action that could be taken as an indorsement of it. I alaa Restaarast Pstrsslsea. To give organized labor a boost and en the suggestion of Delegate H. Har der from the waiters' union, practically very delesate in the convention went Jn a body to a Washington-street union restaurant for lunch and will visit some other places today.

Reforesting Expedition 'Will Visit Pa cific Northwest, V here Climate ' Is Similar. The department of commerce of the University of Oregon reports that so successful has been the transplanting of trees from America to .Norway that an expedition will be sent to the West ern Coast of the United States during the coming Spring to obtain more trees for the reforesting of that country. The expedition will be made under the direction of an organization known as the' West Coast Trial Station, con solidating the Stavanger Forestry As sociation with a similar one in Bergen. The varieties of tree most interest ing and most useful to this Norwegian association are the Sitka and Douglas pines. In 1892 several of the latter variety were planted in the Stavanger district, and have proved a great suc cess. Both varieties have thrived 00 miles north of Stavanger. There are at present, it is said, but two kinds of native coniferous trees the pine and the fir that are seen on Norway's western coast. The chiet forester of the new association has called attention to the fact that there are 400 varieties of such trees, many of which might prove suited to the climate of the west coast of Norway. It is mild in Winter and cool in Sum mer, and there is much rain. In many ways it resembles the climate of the Pacific Northwest, and it is to this sec tion in particular that the expedition will come. TRIBAL DUTIES RELATED INDIANS TESTIFY TO CROSSING DIS.

PUT STOMACH IN FINE CONDITION Says Indigestion Results From an Excess of Hydrochloric Acid. Undigested food delayed In the stomach decays, or rather ferments, the same as food left in the open air, says a noted authority. He also tells us that Indigestion is caused by Hyper-acidity, meaning there is an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach which pre vents complete digestion and starts food fermentation. Thus everything eaten sours in the stomach much like garbage sours in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. Then we feel a heavy, lumpy misery in the chest, we belch up gas, we eructate' sour food or have heartburn, flatu lence, water-brash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast and drink while it is effervescing and furthermore, to con tinue this for a week. While relief fol lows the first dose. It is important to neutralize the acidity, remove the gas making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive Juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts is used by thousands of peop!o for stomach trouble with excellent r-jtults. Adv. GIRLS! WOMEN! TAKE GASCARETS IF CONSTIPATED
