REFUNDS DENIED
ON LAND GRANTS
- '-it. ,
Land Office Not to Order Return
of. Cash Paid for Rights ort
Northern Pacific Line. .
Washington, June 27. The commis
sioner of the general land -office ha
Informed Senator Chamberlain that his
bureau .probably win adhere to Its
former rullne denying the claims for
return of half of the cash preemption
money paid for land along the line of
the Northern Pacific railroad grant be
tween Walla Walla and Portland, as
to even numbered sections.
The supreme court recently decided
In the ease of Laughlin vs. United
States that refund should be made of
the excess over 1.25 an acre for odd
numbered sections,- these being the sec
tions originally granted the railroad.
The railroad never filed a location map,
and the grant was afterward forfeited.
The court gave no opinion as to the
even numbered sections, which were
not Involved in the case.
Settlers on the even . numbered sec
tions have contended they should be
accorded the same treatment, as the
government Increased the price of the
even sections because of the increase
which had been ordered by law for the
odd section 8.
The land office expresses a willing
ness to make a formal ruling If claims
are presented on the even numbered
sections, but practically forecasts an
adverse decision, which will make ft
necessary- for such claimants to seek a
decision through the federal courts.
1 Seam Squirrel' New
- t n t-i
name ior famous
'Cootie' of A. E. F.
It took Rev. Charles T. Wheeler of
Chicago to bring to the Progressive
Business Men's club at the Benson hotel
Thursday afternoon a new name for the
"army on the army." lie brought the
name from the front, where he spent
many months during the war.
"Seam squirrels," he called them, and
"seam squirrel" hunting for soldiers he
described as more of a necessity than
a sport.
Dr. Wheeler pleaded with the club
men for support of the Salvation Army
drive, saying : "The Salvation Army, In
its work and sacrifices, was true to
home, country and God. Ton can't do
less than support such work."
Dr. Edward T. Devine, professor of
political economy at Columbia univer
sity. New York, traced for the benefit
of the same audience the changing re
lations between capital and labor.
During the past five years, he said,
there has been a vast change In the at
titude pf employers toward the eight
hour day and the 48 hour week, and in
the same period organized labor has
added 2,000.000 to Us membership.
A. Ft. Gephart, president of the Social
Workers' club, which ia conducting the
social work conference in Portland, presided.

PHYSICALLY FIT
AT ANY AGE
It isn't age. it's careless living that
puts men "down and out." Keep your
internal organs in good condition and
you will always be- physically fit.
The kidneys are the most overworked
organs in the. human body. When they
break down under the strain and the
deadly uric acid accumulates and
crystallizes look out! These sharp
crystals tear and scratch the delicate
urinary 'channels causing excruciating
pain and set up Irritations which may
cause premature degeneration and often
lo turn into deadly Bright's disease.
One of the first warnings of sluggish
idney action is pain or stiffness in the
'small of the back. loss of appetite, in
digestion or rheumatism.
Do not wait until the danger is upon
you. At the first indication of trouble
go after, the cause at once. Get a trial
box of GOLD MEDAL. Haarlem Oil
Capsules, imported direct from the
laboratories in Holland. They will give
.almost Immediate relief. If for any
cause they should not, your money will
be refunded. But be sure to get GOLD.
