Toid the Story " V. L. Tfaompaoa'
Alleged Motive to the Reporter torn
Wished It Wonted Differently Dv
tentow Given Tote Paper Concern
ing the Proposed Taxpayers' Meet
ing Was Substantially Correct.
In this morning's laaue of the Trl
bane there appeared a story which
Included a statement from County
Judge Ullliland in which he was made
to appear as repudiating an Interview
published in the East Oregonlan yes
terday. According to Judge Ollllland his
statement was given last evening to
W L Thompson at the latter's earn
est request, but it was never Intended
to be construed as it was by the Tri
bune this morning
In the East Oregonian's story last
evening. Judge GUIlland was quoted
as saying the following concerning
W. L. Thompson's motive for partici
pating in a movement to have the
county court Investigated:
W. L. Thompson's Motive.
"Shortly after I went into office,"
declares the Judge, "Thompson, or his
attorney, came to me with a bunch
of applications for guardianships of
minor Indiana. The thing was new
to me then and I wanted time to Jook
into the matter and see what was up
before I acted, so 1 told him I would
consider the matter.,
"Soon after that a friend of mine
who was renting land upon the reser
vation came to me and said that
Thompson had told him that if he did
not get me, the county Judge, to ap
point Thompson as guardian, he.
Thompson, would work it through the
agent, Edwards, so that the man
would lose hs reservation land.
"I told my friend to tell Thompson
that :I would
whet I got
U go to- thunder and
act as I saw fit and
rewly."
In a talk this morning Judge Gllll
lan stated to the Bast Oregonlan
that his friend who came to him In
Thompson's hehalf had merely said
that Thompson had threatened him
should the judge not sign Thompson's
guardianship applications Therefore
In quoting him as saying that Thomp
son had declared he would wonk It
through the agent so that the man
would lose his land, the Interview
was Incorrect
The interview with Judge OH11
land and Commissioner Walker yes
terday was at their request and oc
curred in the office of the county
judge with fosr people present. Ac
cording to Judge GUIlland he had no
Intention of repudiating the entire In
terview and he admits that he au
thorized a statement which would
show Thompson's motives, but says
he apprehended that it would be
worded differently from the way it
appeared In this paper.

The
mGeneral Demand
of the Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi
cians could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial ia effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That Is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is
given the preference by the Well
informed. To get Its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle-
