STATE WILL DROP GRAZING LAND CASE House Passes, Then Kills Bill to Prosecute Pacific Live ly stock for Fraud. DEBATE OFTEN IS BITTER State Treasurer Kay Asserts That Land Board Never Indorsed Move - of Sir. McConnell to Proceed Against the Company. STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or.. Feb. 19. (Special.) Prosecution of the case against the Pacific Livestock Company ior alleged frauds in. obtaining title to about 40,000 acres of grazing land In Eastern Oregon, probably will have to cease as a result of the refusal of the House tonight to pass the bill appro priating ?5000 for the Attorney-General to continue the work. The bill was Introduced todav in the Ilousa by the ways and means com mittee and after some sharp debate, it was passed. But tonight it was re called and killed. It developed from the line of argu ment on the floor that about five years ago, C. B. McConnell, an Eastern Ore T nJ J? d owner. came before the State .Land Board and asked the state to join in a suit against the Pacific Livestock Company. Mr. McConnell wanted to irrigate some dry land near the Sllvies River. J-he Pacific Livestock Company owned the land on both sides of the stream, and refused to surrender their water rights. Mr. McConnell oleaded thnt th company had obtained their property ft. Govern- West, it seems, instructed Mr. McConnell to start pro- i . 8a ln tne name of the state.' Before acting on the bill today the House heard presentations from State Assistant Attorney-General. Mr. Kay tam the State Land Board had taken no action in the case. Mr. Van Winkle ..u mat me case could not be .."ct.uicu successruiiy without funds. Representative CrandaJI. wh rn.-.- cents the district in which the lands are located, pleaded earnestly for the bill. He was vigorously opposed by Vr 1 es Joean, -i-eck and others. . . J!ean read a statement from Etate Treasurer Kay in which Mr. Mc Donnell was quoted as saying that even r Btato should win the suits, he (McConnell) would remain in possession of the water rights and that he would riot dispose of them to the state except lor a consideration. The history of the Pacific Livestock Company was referred to frequently, and in no kindly terms. The company Is controlled by Miller & Lux, who own extensive holdings in California and Nevada. Mr. Miller died recently leaving an estate of about $30,000,000 and now his family ,is resisting the payment of an inheritance tax in Cali fornia. The situation in the cast of this bill "-'"0 complicated tonight when th """" recaueo. Mouse bill No. 395 by Oordon. which the .Senate defeated a. cw uaya ago. This bill . proposed to validate the title to all lands obtained by various conveyances, prior to 1897 a- tion is made, however, for all- lands ?iinet. which sutts may be brought the act iearS aftCr the Passage of iaW ,'.1 th Gordon bul becomes a 7r;W! h thS biU appropriating the ' " lne suits out of the way, the Pacific I.lvt,.L- would be in good position to gain clear title to its Drouertv.

Biemnalfea, iTmm (By L H. SMITS. sC. D.) It was not until the discovery by 8ir Arthur Gerod, in 1S48, that the blood of gouty patients contained uric acid in an excessively large amount, that much attention was paid to this enbject. Later scientific men learned that in gout, also rheumatism, the kidneys do not work properly to throw off the nrio acid poison; consequently nric acid crys tals are deposited in and about the joint, in the muscles, where) So inflamma tion is set up in the nearby tissues. Hague.has said, that gout is rheu matism, and rhouroatibiu is gout.' II uric acid is formed in excess within the tody it ia passed on to the kid neys, which act as a tiller to pass off this poison. If the excess is not excreted by the kidneys, it is distri buted thru the tissues. The choice sites for such Etorase are in the joints, muscle-6heatlis, where the cii dilation is weakest, and where also the al kalin ity of the blood is lowest. Conse quently -we must do everything to throw off this uric acid poi.on. and simple methods are best. Flush the klfinPVH hv ririnlrinrv ti O ! t water between meals. A -pint of hot water a half hour before meals. . Take Anuria, (double or triple strength), three times a day For awhile. Invigorate and assist the kid neys to flash out the uric acid poisons. Buring winter months the circulation isapt to be sluggish and the blood Stream retarrloH. 1 f ent it is apt to clog the capillaries. This accounts for many acute condi tions, such as headache, neuralgia, gastric disturbances, and dull mind. As the condition progresses, we often have lumbago, disease of the heart -and arteries, breaking down of the kidneys, rheumatism and gouty symp toms. Eat less meat, drink more water, and 'take An uric (double or triple strength) after meals and at bed time for several weeks at a time, and you will be free from uric acid and the diseases that follow.
