Measles Cases
At Higli Level

are at a high level so far in 1949,
Health Officer W. J. ! Stone said
Saturday. He counted 239 cases re
ported this year, compared with
six for the first three months of
1948.
The season is likely to continued
through May, according to Dr.
Stone, who reminded that the in
crease of cases over I some past
years is due largely to the area's
great growth of population, and
high birth rate.

year in the county varied from 12
in 1925 to 885 in 1928 and 798 in

Crawford to
Present Claims
For Indians
Salem Attorney Lee Crawford,
representing four Oregon coastal
Indian tribes, will appear before
the Court of Claims in Washing
ton, D. C, April 5 in another step
in litigation involving Indian
claims for land taken over by the
government.
The U. S. supreme court already
has decided the Indian tribes have
a right to receive an amount of
money equal to the value of the
some 2,500,000 acres in the year
1855 plus interest since then.
The Court of Claims now is
hearing arguments of Crawford
and other attorneys for the Indians
and of government attorneys over
the amount of money to be paid
the Indians. The amount deter
mined by Commissioner Richard
H. Akers is 18,000,000 based on
original value of 60 cents to $1
per acre.
The government .maintains the
value should have been around! 10
cents per acre and Crawford
maintains the lowest possible value
should be 91.25, the price on public
lands in 1855. with value up to S3
in some parts of the territory due
to heavy timber and mineral re
sources. .
The lands figuring in claims
stretch between the Pacific ocean
and the Coast range summit, with
one section extending from Cape
LooKout south to Yachats and the
other from north of Coquille to the
California border. Tribes affected
are the Chetco, Tillamook, Coquille
and Too-too-to-ney (Rogue River)
tribes.
Crawford, accompanied by his
wife, will leave Salem by air April
4. They expect to return here on
April 19.
