Trouble Is brewing In tho Slletz r.Klcn
on account of allegi'd wln.lof-nlB claim

yesterday by Messrs. Hcarrt mid Jacub

located In tho bltf SJletx timber bolt. Ii
la stated tliat certain l'ortl.ind timber
brokers bave. been locating new cliihri

filed upon by homesteaders who either
are now on t!iJr claims or have lived

At present, however, there Is not any
fenr of violence, aUhouKh the home
steaders nro Brcutiy Incensed at what
they look upon an a cool and deter
mined effort to rob them of the re
sults of their labor and expenditures.
But they are law-abiding and before
taking any action themselves, prefer
to wait until the federal authorities
have passed upon the question and
granted or denied them the protection
of their rights which they feel Is their
due.
Pile Many Contests.
The lot of the homesteaders In Ore
gon appears to be a precarious one, and
many of them feel that they are not
being properly protected In their rights
by the government. Of late a lar,je
number of contests have been filed,
several of them, It Is said, against
homesteaders who have resided con
tinuously on their claims for the full
five years required by law, who have
resided on them for 11 months and
then made application to be allowed
to commute 'for $1.25 an aero, as is
allowed by the land laws.
As ft rule, the Klleta: homesteaders
have little more money than enough

13. T. Price, a land broker who 'live
fU 341 Cook avenue, this city, is said
by Mr. Hearst to be the man who has
been busying himself locating men on
claims already filed upon. Price, Hearst
says, has of late been traveling through
the Slletz claiming to be making sur
veys but in reality looking up claims
upon which to Install contestants. It
must bo explained that locating claims
has become a profitable business, the
fee in many rasea being as high ns
600. This explains the alleged activity
of locators.
The eagerness to obtain claims In the

JOURNAL CONTESTANTS'
REMARKABLE SCORES

WKHMIGA
Uniforms "Will Be in Evi
dence in North Pacific
Circuit.
The Individual performance of many
of the contestants in The Oregon Jour
nal's third annual scholarship contest
since the tenth score is very creditable
indeed. The contest manager's predic
tion some days ago that some of the
students would likely do some meteoric
work has already proved true, as was
seen by tho eleventh score published
yesterday, and especially by the record
of Freda Launer of Pallas, who added
the large number of 10,936 votes since
the 10th score which places her in the
jeaa jn the contest. This ciever young
lady made Ralph Robnett's majority of
4.810 in the tenth score fade away like
an Oregon mist In the face or old Sol.
She converted his large majority into a
majority of 3,3 25 votes for herself, thus
gaining 8,135 votes on him.
Little less extraordinary was Vernlce
Gilkey's performance. This clever stu
dent of Grants Pass added 9,260 votes
to her score, and still leads in district
No. 3 bv a large majority. Ray Harper,
The Dalles, too, made a great showing,
having secured 8. 745 votes, which makes
him the leader in district No. 4.
Gladys Nelson. Oswego, made the next
greatest progress, adding 6.270. Olive
Williams, Monmouth, came next, with a
gain of 4.200. Harry Crain followed
with a gain of 3.F0O votes Lena Berk
ren managed to secure 3,400 votes, and
Lenna Melton recorded 3.220. Ralph
Kobnett, the former leader, runnagpd to
add only 2.800 votes, thus losing his
leadership for the time being.

fng to contestants has -evidently stimu

THE "ALCOHOL in beer is a trifle only ZyZ per cent.
The effective ingredients are barley and hops a food and a
tonic. Pure beer is both good and good for you.
In Germany, Holland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria
beer is the national beverage. Nearly all people, of all ages,
drink it. 5
And all the world envies their sturdy strength.
Every doctor knows how beer benefits. If you need
more stre'ngttfor vitality he will prescribe it.
But be careful to choose a pure beer, else you get harm
with the good. And select a beer well aged to avoid biliousness.
The way to be sure is to order Schlitz. We go to
extremes in cleanliness. We even filter the air that cools it.
We age it for months. We sterilize every bottle.
Schlitz has no after effects.
Ask for the Brewery Bottling. '
Common beer is sometimes substituted for Schlitz.
To avojfl being imposed uton, see that the cork, or crown is branded Schlilg.

Many people who are neglecting symptoms of kidney trouble, hoping "it will wear away," are
drifting towards Bright' s Disease, which is kidney trouble in one of its worst forms.
1C1
stops irregularities, strengthens the urinary organs and builds up the worn-out tissues
of the kidneys so they will perform their functions properly. Healthy kidneys strain out
the impurities from the blood as it passes through them. Diseased kidneys do not, and
the poisonous waste matter is carried by the circulation to every part of the body,
causing dizziness, backache, stomach trouble, sluggish liver, irregular heart action, etc.
If you have any signs of Kidney or Bladder Trouble commence taking FOLEY'S
KIDNEY CURE at once, as it will cure a slight disorder in a few days and prevent a
fatal malady. It is pleasant to take and benefits the whole system.
How to find Out.
Ton can easily determine if your kidneys are
out of order by setting aside for 24 hours a
bottle of the urine passed upon arising. If
upon examination it is cloudy or milky or has
a brick -dust sediment or small particles float
about in it, your kidneys are diseased, and
FOLEY'S KIDNEY CURE should be taken
at once.
G. B. Burhans Testifies After Four Years.
G. B. Burhaqs of Carlisle Center, N. Y., writes:
"About four years t o I wret. you statinf tht I had been entirely
cured of sever, kidney trouble by t.kinf lets than two bottles of
Foley's Kidney Cure. It entirely stopped the tck -dual aediment and
pain and aymptome of kidney diseaae diiappearedr I am (lad to Bay that
Ktiave never had a return of any of thoae aymptome during the four
year, that have elapaed, and I am evidently cured to stay cured, and
heartily recommend Poley'a Kidney Cur. to any on. suffering from
kidney or bladder trouble."
