HOMESTEAD PLAN FAILS
of
Decision of Surveyor-General
Oregon KeTersed After
Bitter Fight.
TtuU til stat of Oregon In 1580
possessed a valid title to Horseshoe
Island In the Columbia river is the
purport of a decision handed down
by Clay Tallroan. commissioner-pen
eral of the land office at Washing
ton. D. C, which established th
rights of nine heir to the property
and threw out the homestead claim
to the entire island made by one of
the heirs. J. I. Reeder. Word of th
decision reached Oliver B. Huston, at
corner for the state, yesterday.
The decision reversed the ruling of
Edward O. Worth, surveyor-general
f Oregon, on December 2, 1920. The
late Senator S. B. Huston handled the
original caae for the state and heirs,
fcut his death occurred on November
30. 1920, two days before the decision
vu made In Portland. His son. Ol
Iver B. Huston, who had returned to
Ills law practice after army service,
took over his father's law business
and fought the ease through to the
Buocessful appeal.
Feeling over the ease has been bit
ter and has resulted in considerable
tad blood between J. I Reeder and
th other heirs, it la eaid.
. Homestead Applications File.
Horseshoe Island was sold as swamp
and overflow land to Simon M. Reeder
In 1890 by the state of Oregon. After
his death the US acres were parti
tloned among nine heirs. On August
0, 1919, J. L. Reeder, a son, filed an
application for a homestead on the
entire acreage, ignoring the rights
of other heirs on the ground that
the land was not swamp and over
flow land and that the state had
no title to it when it was sold to his
father.
On August 11, 1920, F. B. Reeder,
another son, representing the other
l-.e'rs. filed an application with the
surveyor-general of Oregon to contest
the homestead. At a hearing before
Eurveyor-Oeneral Worth, September
7 and 8. 1920. the chief point at issue
ras the condition of the island on
March 12, 1860, at which time the
state of Oregon assumed title as over
flow land. Among the witnesses
called by the petitioner were many
pioneer residents of Sauvles and ad
joining islands, who had lived in the
vicinity since 1850 and 1860. They
Included a P. White, aged 80; John
W. McQuinn. 65; Robert Mclntire, 67;
"W. H. Morgan. 80; W. E. Henricl. 73;
Mrs. Catherine Dunn. 75, and James
N. Mclntire, 59.
Surveyor-General Criticised.
The sui veyor-general's decision On
December 2, 1920, was that the plain
tiff had failed to show that the prop
erty was swamp or overflow land
and recommended that the title of
the state of Oregon be canceled.
In taking issue with this decision
on appeal. Attorney Huston said It
was not supported by evidence; that
pioneer residents had testified that
it was overflowed with water three
or four times a year in the '60s; that
the surveyor-general had placed great
weight on testimony of recent visit
ors to the island and to the testimony
of a surveyor who visited the land
In 1916 and operated with the assist
inee and advice of J. L. Reeder. and
mat the surveyor-general had d',8
carded a "preponderance of evidence'
requirement of civil law to compel
the petitioner to prove his case "be
yona a reasoname doubt,' as in a
criminal action.
-or a beneficent rovernmnt to
atep in and Intervene, aa it were, in
a family quarrel and by taklnr the
part or t-e one unscrupulous heir to
assist in robbing the other heirs of
their just and equitable portion of
the estate seems going to a consider
ate length," commented Attornev

With the house-to-house canvass
gaining impetus and a final effort

close of the campaign under the pres

A feature of the campaign yester
day was the fact that the returns

lng the $850,000 quota set for the cam
palgn, according to announcement
made by Mayor Baker, who has served
as generalissimo of the work for the
last four weeks. To date the drive
has been under the direction of what
is known as the old liberty loan com
m-ittee.
It is said that these men have given
their undivided attention to the work
for the last four weeks, allowing per
sonal affairs secondary consideration
in order to handle the drive, and that
it is only fair to let this force of
workers go. It is expected that the
board of directors will enlist a fresh
army of workers to continue what
ever plans they may adopt.
Directorate Remains Intact.
The original directorate remains In
tact, according to the mayor, and will
take charge of finishing up the loose
ends of the campaign. A number of
men who have been active in the drive
to date belong to the original board
and will sit with it In directing fu
ture activities. In addition there are
other members of the board of direc
tors who have been unable to do ac
tive work to date, but who are ex
pected to sit with the directorate be
ginning Monday, it was announced.
These include Franklin T. Griffith,
Emery Olmstead, Edward Cooking-
ham, Amedee Smith, B. C. Ball, Erio
Hauser and Mrs. E. R. Corbett.
What plans will be adopted for the
recontinuation of the drive are un
known. The present executives are
preparing detailed reports as to the
status of the campaign to date, from
which the Monday assemblage may
base future operayons.
New Force of Worker.
It Is expected that the first move
will be to enlist a new force of vol
unteer field workers to relieve the
present personnel. This new force
undoubtedly will take over the un
completed sections which may remain
and also take up whatever new plans
tne directors may decide upon.
The returns to last night show that
approximately 33,000 subscribers have
been responsible for the total con
tributions to date. In face of the
fact that previous financial assist
ance for the charitable Institutions
of the city have been furnished by
some 6000 citizens, this total number
of contributors Is pleasing to offi
cials.
Today's returns will Include the
entire week's report from a number
of outlying districts, and it is hoped bureau of the City club. The proposed
Portland needs an adequate place
for the temporary care and study o
the insane, according to Dr. Henry
Viets, specialist in mental diseases,
now directing a survey of the insane
and near-inear.a In the city and coun
ty, who spoke at the regular weekly
luncheon of the City club at the Ben,
son yesterday.
Dr. Viets characterized Insanity as
mental illness and declared that the
mentally ill should not be discrimi
nated against in matters of treat'
ment. The present system of placing
insane persons in the Jails until such
time as they are committed to the
state hospital was criticised.
Psychopathio hospitals which care
for the mentally ill until specialists
can properly diagnose the cases and
assign the patients to state hospitals
or to other places for treatment con
stitute the modern method of caring
for cases of insanity, according to
Dr. Viets. Under the system used
In psychopathic hospitals patients re
main for a few days only. They re
ceive expert care and each case Is
disposed of in a manner that will best
aid in the treatment of the patient.
Many patients admitted to psycho
pathic hospitals are soon found to be
mentally sound and are released
without further inconvenience to
themselves. Dr. Viets said.
Dr. Viets emphasized the importance
of medical education and character
ized Portland as a medical center,
It Is advisable to centralize all
medical aspects of the community
around the medical school," said Dr.
Viets. "I consider the step to place
the new county hospital In close prox
imity to the medical school aa high
ly commendable.'
Dr. Viets Is conducting the survey
here on request of the University of
Oregon medical school and the Mult
nomah county commissioners. He Is
a graduate of Dartmouth and of Har
vard medical school, a former mem
ber of the faculty of Harvard med
ical school, and was a major in the
neuropsychiatry division of the army
in England, France and Germany.
Four provisions for incorporation
In the proposed terminal agreement
between the city and the railroads
were proposed by the city planning
to shove the total contributions well
over the $600,000 mark. Returns for
the last few days have shown ap
preciable gains over those for the
first part of the week.
Franklin High Is Tagged.
A feature of the campaign Thurs
day was the holding of a community
chest tag day at Franklin high
sohool which netted more than $100
for the fund. The sale was In charge
of the "Hi T" club. The students
w.ere asked to buy the 10-cent tags
to keep up Franklins good name,
even If for some reason they did not
wish to give to the community chest.
The tags bore the legend "Franklin
has a heart."
Employes of the Oregon-Washing'

COURT TO BE LAID OUT
Oregon Students, Faculty and
Alumni Talk Over Plans for
$100,0 00 Plaza.
Plans for a memorial In honor of
the University of Oregon students
and graduates who gave up their lives
in the great war took definite shape
yesterday afternoon at a meeting held
at the University club, when the
joint committee of students, faculty
alumni and regents adopted the me
morial court Idea, leaving the details
to be worked out by Ellis F. Law
rence, dean of the school of architec
ture. It was voted, further, at the
meeting, to undertake at once the
work of raising $100,000 to meet the
cost of what was termed the first
properly constituted soldiers' me
morlal et promoted in the state of
Oregon.
In connection with the memorial
court, it is the plan to erect ulti
mately a splendid auditorium, at the
south end, and to have the court
flanked by buildings devoted to the
fine arts, the unit to represent the
physical and spiritual center of the
whole university.
Site South of KIncaid Field.
The site proposed for the memorial
court, which Is to include a me
morial statue, two patriotically or
namented flagpoles, and some tablets
bearing the names of the Oregon men
who fell in the war, is south of Kin
caid field, southwest of the present
administration building, and north
east of the school of music now under
construction.
The idea of the memorial, it was
brought out at the meeting, did not
originate with faculty, alumni, or
regents but is very definitely the con
tribution of the student body. The
war class of 1918 contributed Its
class fund of more than $700 to the
cause of a soldiers' memorial, and
this sum, with additional contri
butions from other sources, is now
In the university treasury as the
nucleus of the fund. Action by the
faculty and the regents, indorsing
the proposition in general terms and
appointing committees to further the
Idea, came two,ears later.
Finance Committee Authorized.
At the session yesterday President
Campbell was authorized to appoint a
finance committee of five, three resi
dents of Portland and two of Eugene,
to begin formulating a plan of cam
paign to raise the funds. The presi
dent will appoint this committee
within a fe,w days. He also appointed
committee to present the whole
plan to the regents in June. This
committee Is made up of Professors
W. F. G. Thacher and F. 8. Dunn
and Carlton Spencer, registrar, who is
member of the class of 1913, to-
gether with Chester Moores ('12) and
Robert Kuykendall C13), both of Port
land.
The 1921 commencement, at the
uggestion of President Campbell, will
be made a memorial commencement,
at which the dominant Idea will be
to honor the memory of the Orego
soldiers and to promote the memorial
project.
The joint committee, before acting,
considered at length several alterna
tlve propositions submitted as th
basis of the memor'al, Including
student union, a campanile, and an
thletic field. It was felt that each
of these was open, to objection which
couia not oe urgea against tne me
mortal court idea. The general feel
lng at the meeting was, that other
plans tended to subordinate the me
morlal, or votive, idea to the utili
tarlan.

FAMILY AMAZED AT
. WONDERFUL CHANGE
Seattle Woman Weighed
Only 75 Pounds When
She Began Taking Tan
lac Now Weighs 110
and Troubles Entirely
Overcome.
"It's a fact, I was almost helpless
and weighed only seventy-five pounds
when I started taking Tanlac and to
day I am well and strong and weigh
exactly one hundred and ten pounds,"
waa the remarkable statement of Mrs.
B. P. Ryan, wife of the well-known
real estate dealer and timber broker,
whose residence Is 4323 Fifth Ave.,
N. W., Seattle.
"It Is almost unbelievable that only
four bottles of a medicine could make
such a change, but Taniao aid just
what I say. For eight years I had
stomach trouble and two years ago It
grew much worse and since that time
my life has been simply miserable. I
only ate enough to keep alive and got
thinner and thinner all the time.
Finally I got so weak that for days
at a time I had to stay In bed or In
my Morris chair and my husband had
to carry me to the chair and back to
the bed again. I couldn't even hold a'
book In my hand and at times I
couldn't stand on my feet. For two
years it was impossible for me to do
any of my housework.
"My husband spared nothing to get
the best of attention for nie, but I
was growing worse day by day, and It
seemed to me there was but one pos
sible end and that not far off. I was
utterly despondent when my husband
prevailed upon me to take Tanlac It
was JUBt what I needed, and never In
my life have I seen such a change
as Tanlac brouuht to me. My family
was simply amazod at my rapid im
provement. Today I am well and
happy, without a trouble of any kind
and I will bless Tanluc as long as I
live."
Mr. Ryan at this point Joined In
and said: "A great load of worry and
anxiety hns been lifted from my mind.
I thought I was going to lose my wife,
but Tanlac has restored her to com
plete health and I believe I am the
happiest man alive. It certainly Is
the best and grandest mecldlne on
earth." Adv.

Moundsville. W.Va. "I had taken

They often are obliged to earn their
living by toiling day in and day out
no matter how hard the pain they i
have to bear. Every girl who suffers
in this way should try Lydia E. Pink
