"- uel OJeaon of Anion, Chippewa county,
; Wlabonaln,. . Wa. . located . .la t southern
L Orecm lt. jpne by. Hoban Tagnart,
who have office at lOttt Sixth street,
' In this rttn nd he ha a alnee' discovered
that the land' Which ha visited is ev
" eral miles (Mutant from that on which
he filed. While the land which he saw
was -heavily Umbered, the - land de-
' scribed In his , application has been
. burned over and Is treeless.
I. J. W. Gardner, notorious as an ac
. complice of W. H. McCroaaen In nu-
"merous timber locations alleged to have
been 'fraudulent. . assisted In locating
Oleson, and Frank K. Ktneart, under
, Indictment by a federal grand Jury for
,- tamperlna with the monuments of gov-
ernment surveys, posed as the cruiser
'- for Hoban tt Taggart.and guided the
-; victim to the timber which the latter
' supposed be was securing by his appU
''' cation. . , '
. In an affidavit setting forth the
J whole history of the transaction,' Ole
son relates his experience, which coat
. him' 1300, this being the fee charged
; by Hoban at Taggart for locating the
J easterner andhla son on alleged timber
f claims. The two victims earner to
k Portland last June, to see the Lewla and
-Clark fair. An Introduction to Hoban
i V Taggart led to an arrangement for a
I trip to southern Oregon, where - they
were to be located on claims rich In
timber. They were given a letter to
' Frank E. Klncart of Roseburg, and he
. subsequently took them out to view the
I timber.
";, . The first effort to locate, them was
unsuccessful, 'the timber being poor
.' and scattering, but a second expedition
$ was maae in anotner airection: usra
'"' ner had joined the party, and It was
largely on the strength - of - his aaaur
nnces that they finally located. Oleson
Jar did not" 'see the government section
marks, but sent, his son on to look at
" . them, accompanied by Klncart.-The
. son came back, reported that ho aad
can soma marked trees, and the father
- and son then returned to Roseburg,
V where they filed their claims In the
, : -land office. They then returned: to
Portland, where the eider Oleson paid
; Taggart 30v as a location fee.
. ' When the reports of numerous swln
, dies In which Gardner and McCrossen
. 4 were said to be Implicated found their
. i way Into the newspapers, Oleson began
xo near inai ne, 100, nadv been duped,
v and -decided to make an Investigation,
i Going again to Roeburg, he visited
, the land described , la his application
j and found that it was a considerable
(distance from that, shown to htm by
,4Jnoart and Uardner. The land de
i scribed In his claim was barren of tlm-
ber and bad been burned bver. '
I Oleson canceled the, timber appllca
, tlons made by himself and his son, and
i Is now seeking to compel a restitution
. J of the $500 which ha paid to Hoban at
. Taggart. x , ,,

s A" QUESTION:OF COSTri
In any number-of stores
l-youll see various; prepara
f tions of cod liver oil at. as
; many different prices. You'll
wonder, perhaps, why Scott's
; Emulsion costs more than
' some other kind in' as Jarge
"l a bottle. , Hearing only o'ne'
. ,. side of the question you may
j be led into buying the "just
; l as good, as Scott's n at the
Hower "price. " That's false
"' economy."- Scott' Emulsion
costs more because its more
f expensive to make. Every '
ingredient is tested and guar
anteed of the purest quality.
, " No adulteration, no shaving
,' , of quality. . There's no econ
"f omy in bargain medicine. If
you can afford to experiment
with your health, substitutes
' , may satisfy you. We t!ake it,,
however, that you want a.
pure preparation, a reliable
