SALEM. Or.. Jan. JJ. (Special.) For
the purpose of developing- a saner and
better system for the settlement of

Whitney L. Boise. Portland, and Will

"My idea in selecting: these men was
to have a commission representative
of activities so diversified as to make
the personnel of the bodypecullarly
fitted for the work In hand, said the
Governor.
Whole State RrprmsM.
"Mr. Kay Is famtllsr wit handling
lands for the state: Mr. Clark Is a
tlmbnrman and knows the situation
relative to locsed-off lands and the
possibilities; Mr. Olmstead represents'
the banking- interests; Mr. Farrell th
railroad interests; Mr. Boise Is an
toraey and has been Interested In land
settlement problems; Mr. Hanley Is fa
miliar with the arid regions of th
slate, and Mr. Pollman is a stockman
and a banker.
"The Portland Chamber of Commerce
has conducted a department known
as the (nfoti development bureau of
that Chamber, which has been working
on problems connected with land set
tlement and development, under th
had of Wiiliam II. Crawford. With th
added touch of state supervision th
work will be more effective. The com
mission will work In harmony and co
operation with th Portland Chamber

Settler to Renlre Help.
"The purpose of the commission will
be to assist In a rational way In the
settle ment of logged-off and aaricul
tural lands. One of Its objects will be
to aid in cutting- op the larce holdings
so they may be used In profitable man
ner.
"The commission also will help In
securing the proper settlement of land
and aid In working out financial prob
lem of development, including the
clearing of loaaed-of f lands, drainage
work and similar propositions which
require financial help to make them
successful.
"Oregon has been ultra-conservative
la the matter of agricultural settle
meat. The state should be progressive
as well as conservative, and It Is my
hope that the commission will develop
a healthy Interest In agricultural sot
Dement. This Is particularly needful
when It Is essential that food produc
Hon should b Increased to the maxi
mum."

CORVALLJS. Or., Jan. 19. (Special.)
I wo Benton uounty Granges, the Cor

Grange, met in Joint session tonight.
with a large attendance and adopted
resolutions In answer to those of the
Pomona Grange of Marlon County in
reference to the Agricultural College.
Wide publicity was given to the fact
that the meeting was to be held both
through announcements in the press
and by telephone, therefore, a large
crcwa was in attendance.
The statement was frequently made
mat the .Marlon County Grange had
adopted Its resolution unwittingly and
inrougn tne connivance of interests
hostile to the college and that there
fore these Benton County Granges
should go on record publicly for the
benefit of other Granges in the state
Itnai tne same hostile Interests might
In the preliminary discussion the
"shyster mind" editorial of The Orego
nian, Saturday, was approvingly re
ferred to. and the opinion of the major
ity was expressed that the resolutions
should be confined merely to a state
ment of the facts for the consideration
of the public, and that no effort should
be made to Imitate the enirit of th
Marion County resolutions. The re
sult was the following resolutions:
Whereas. The Pomona CSranee e t a ri..
Cougty has adapted certain- misleading mntl
defamatory resolutions concerning the Ore
Son farmers bent friend, tbe State Agricul
tural Collese. making unwarranted allega
tions and insinuations entirely without re
gard to facts In the rase; and
hereaa. We believe the wording of M
resolution is ample proof that the m.lrl
grans has been misled and betrayed by
persons who neither understand nor ha
st heart the Interest of the farmers of Ore
gon or the Agricultural College, and have
used the said Pomona Grange as a tool by
which to work their own vicious and ul
terior designs, which are wholly Inimical to
the Interests of the Agricultural College,
and hence hurtful to the best Interests of
the state; and
Whereas. The members of the undersigned
granges are so located as to be In a position
to know and appreciate the wonderfully
helpful work of the college, and to realize
fully the fact that Its success is largely due
to the very efficient management of its J
president. William J. Kerr: and
Whereas, We know unanimously and from
personal contact with him and his work
that the insults heaped upon him and the
Agricultural college bv the afore-mentioned
grange resolutions sre teased upon premises
without foundation in fact; and
Whereas. We believe, because of our per
sonal knowledge, that It is our duty to the
Stat and to our brother . farmer organua
Hons to give them the benefit of our first
hand Information and to repudiate the mis
guided slanders of the Marion County
Grange: therefore, be It
Itesolved. That we reaffirm our faith In
the college. In Dr. Kerr and his manage
ment of the school In conjunction with the
hoard of regents, and express our unbounded
confidence In the honor and Integrity and
faithfulness of the board In its recent state
ment affecting the college Interests; and
Be It further resolved. That we deprecate
the advice of the Marion County Grange
that farmers should keep their children
from this school: that we believe that this
sdvlce is the key to the malice back of the
resolution, and that we urgently urge every
farmer In the state to take every advantage
of the many helps tbe college offers them,
and urge upon them the opinion that the
highest service they can render their boys
and girls snd the state of Oregon Is to send
them to the Agricultural College for an edu
cation that fits them for the affairs of
nri.tlril everyday life, where there Is an
environment that inculcates the highest
standards of morals and honesty and sincer

Kidney Trouble
Tate Salts at first sign of Bladder irritation

The American men and women must
euard constantly against kidney trou

our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the elimlnatlve
tissues clog and the result is kidney
trouble, bladder weakness and a gen
eral decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like lumps
of lead: your back hurts or the urine
Is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; if you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu
matism when -the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kidneys
will then act fine. This famous sails
Is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with llthla, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogrged kidneys; to neu
tralize the aclda in the urine so it no
longer is a source of Irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts Is Inexpensive: cannot In

Iithla-water beverage, and belongs in
