an arrest, so the matter was reported
to Immigration Inspector J. 11. Bar

mR.GREGOR.wlTS
TUX PAID PROMPTLY
Attorney -General Emphasizes
That Land-Grant Bill Should
Provide for Counties.
LETTERS SENT CONGRESS
Stress Also Put on Point That Ex
cess Over $2.50 an Acre Received
.by Road Should Be Deduct
ed From Payments.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Feb. 8. The two letters which
Attorney-General Gregory haa for
warded to the Senate and House com
mittees on public lands, with refer
ence to the Chamberlain. Raker and
McCumber bills and resolutions, rela
tive to the disposition of the Oregon &
California land grant, emphasize two
Important facts: First, that the Attorney-General
deems It of first import
ance that in any adjustment of thia
problem the state and the land grant
counties get the accrued taxes, aggre
gating some 1.300.000. and secondly,
that out of any sums yet coming to the
railroad company there be deducted the
amount which the railroad company
has heretofore collected in excess of
$2.50 an acre, under past sales.
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."

TO HIS BETTER HALF
She Was Very Miserable
and Always Seemed
Tired and Worn-Out.
There are many things learned from
experience. 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. Chatham, from Iqulque; Manoa, from Hono
