In his letter to the House commit tee, the Attorney-General says: "Your recent communication asking for a report on H. J. Res. 58, 'by Mr. Raker, concerning the Oregon & Cali fornia land grants, and for such sug gestions and recommendations as I might desire to make with respect to the resolution, has been received. "There are accrued on the lands in volved about 11,300.000 state and coun ty taxes. The railroad company has paid no taxes on them since the first decree of the lower court about three years ago. As a result the counties in which the lands are located are finan cially embarrasaed. Any measure which contemplates the revesting of the title to these lands in the United States should, in my opinion, provide for the prompt payment of these taxes. "Prior to the commencement of the Government's suit against the railroad company, which embraced only the un sold lands, the company had received on account of the lands sold and un sold $5,506,870.90. or .3,056.870.70 more than It was entitled to on the basis ot 13.50 an acre for the 820.000 acres sold, for. It will be remembered, the Supreme Court held in the Government's suit that $2.50 per acre was the maximum amount to which the railroad company was entitled. The excess, in my judg ment, should be deducted from any sum coming to the railroad company for the lands covered by the resolu tion. The resolution makes no pro vision for this and, hence, would au thorize the payment to the railroad company of $3,056,870.70 more than it is entitled to. In saying this I do not mean to be understood as advising that the resolution itself should make the deduction but, rather, that a pro vision should be incorporated requir ing a judicial determination of the sum to be subtracted. "In response to a request from the chairman of the committee on public lands of the Senate, I have heretofore made a full report on the bill intro duced by Senator Chamberlain for the disposition of these same lands, giving my views or the law appucaoie. cer tain Dertlnent facts, and drafts of amendments which, in my judgment. should be made to the bill in order that it may the better serve its mani fest purpose."

Among them is the fact that stomach trouble, which may be either Inherited or acquired, and which pro duces Indigestion, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, gas or bloated leenng, coated tongue. headache, backache, pains in the side, liver or kidney trou ble and rheumatism, can be most suc cessfully treated by the new herbal system tonic. Plant Juice. TMis truly remarkable preparation is a combina tion of roots, herbs, barks and berries, which are gathered especially for it. That Plant Juice is bearing out the reputation established, is attested by the following signed testimonial from Mr. Orlando Dickson, who lives at Derry, Pa. He said:' For two years my wife suffered a great deal from nervousness. She al ways seemed tired, could not sleep and was entirely worn out. Her appetite was very poor and what little food she ate did not agree with her. Gas would accumulate in her stomach, causing her to have shortness ot breath and she was chronically constipated. I wish to state that we had spent a great deal of money treating her. and have used different kinds of medicine, but she never received any benefit. Finally I read about your Plant Juice and pre vailed upon my wife to try it. She has been taking Plant Juice now for only a short time and it has been a great benefit to her. Her appetite has re turned; she does not suffer from gas on her stomach, and the shortness of breath has left her entirely. Her nerves are strong and she sleeps fine and is entirely cured. We cheerfully recom mend Plant Juice to others." Plant Juice is sold in all Owl Drug stores.
