liR[N R PAIHIC .WANTS PATENTS
' TO M1WONS0 OF ACRES IN THE WEST
States to Secretary of the Interior That Great Injustice Is
Being Done to Taxpayers by Having Land Lying Idle
Government Is Too Slow in Its Surveys.
Washington, April 23.-(Special.)
Thomas Cooper. land commissioner o
the Northern Pacific Railway com
jpany, had an interview with the sec
retary of the interior in regard to the
adjustment of the Northern Pacific
land grant, at which were present
Senators Walsh of Montana and Jones
of Washington.
Mr. Cooper submitted a statement
to Secretary Lane, showing that there
were 2,753,224 acres of the company's
land grant ready for the issuance of
patents, the location of these lands
and a segregation between lands
within the place limits and lands
within the indemnity limits being as
follows:

Mr. Cooper stat"ed that, in the 20
months from ul. 1. 1. 911, to March
31, 1913, there had been patented to
the cipnitlany only 70,000 acres, at
which rate it \oulhl be 65 years be
fore platt1s \Vtould be issued to the
2,750,000 acres ready fr pate.nt: also
in addition to the 2,750,.ii0 acres, the
company estimated that at hlast 1,000,
000 acres additional of landls now sur
veyed would be rieadiy within a year:
also that this quantity iou1ld he still
further increased as survey- s now in
progress are compeleted. The rcnse
qutences of the dit, la ini the issulianc;l
of patents, as explained by Mr.
C'ooptr, are:
First, and nost seirious, the com -
pany is unathe to dlispos. of its lands
because of the ulnc.,t"aint of its title;
therefore, the settlement and d 'ctlop
ment of the country is seri,,usly re
tarded.
Second-The company is nlt re
quired to pay taxes upon indemnity
lands until patent is issued, and,
therefore, it is iescalping the paymelnt
of taxes on the 1,1t5,735 acres of In
demnity lallnds. th alnnlual tax on
which, it is estinmaitel, \vtiould bIe somie
where from $1010,000 to $1.,0,000.

member it."

Answer: Use the following and yvour
cold and cough will vanish and you will
soon' be strong again. Get a 2 1-2-oz.
bottle of conceintrated essence mrnntho
laxene and take every hour or two.i
This can be taken pure or made into a
full pint of home-made syrup. Full di
rections as to use will be found on lbott
tie. ' This is a mild laxative and will
drive the cold from the system.
"Helen J." writes: "What would you
advise me to take. I suffer with indi
gestion. constipation, gas on my stom
ach and my breath is bad. I am afraid
of appendicitis."
Answer: Many cases of appendicitis
are caused by neglecting just such trou
bles as you describe. You should start
at once and take regularly for several
weeks at least, tablets trlopeptine,
which are sold at all drug stores and
are packed in sealed cartons with full
directions for taking. The tablets are
pink, white and blue. The pink tablets
should be taken after breakfast, the
white after dinner and the blue after
supper. I think a great many cases of
appendicitis could be cured by using
triopeptine.
"Mtinnie" says: "I am onl the vercge
of nervous prostration and the doctors'
medicines do not seem to help me. I am
very thin and am getting thinner every
day. What would you prescribe?"
- obliged to pay taxes on the 1,557,4S9
f acres of place lands, to some of which
it may never receive title.
- Under the terms of its grant, the
!company is not entitled to mineral
Slands, other than coal and iron, and
tit is understood that the delay in is
3 suing patents is due to apprehension
of the interior department that, fr
lack of information, some mineral
lands might be inadvertently included
in some of the patents. This appre
hension is born out of what has hap
pened in adjusting the Southern Pa
cific grant, where somen lands that
I have since proved to h.ie xceedingly
valuable for oil were patented to the
railway cnompany before the cxistence
of the oil was known to the govern
ment, and suits for tihe reco'(very to
the United States are now pending in
the courts.
In the discussion befnre the secre
tary, Mr. Cooper stated that about
3?,,000,o00 acres hadl already been pat
ented to the, Northern P'acific, and the
companlty did not know of i single acre
of this vast quantity of land that had
lbeen proven to ie valluable for nin
oral other than coal and Iron. This
statnemei.nt excited surprise, as it might
Sw\\ll e supplil seid, no iln tltr what pre
cautions were taken by the govern
Slvent to di , rirmlinl their characteir le
Ifore patlnting. it was highly probable
Ithat miineral wouh1l e discov\er (d on
soillne of these liands subse(quel'nt to the
Issuance of patent, thei existelnce of
w\hich could not m hay.\ lIin foreseen;
btit Mr. ('toper was quite emphatic in
his statemeint, landl saiud there had
boeein sieveral cases where parties
thought they had discovered valuable
nineral on th compiiany's land, but
the company lllll n all of such ;cases had
displsed of the lands at their agri
cultural or timbeir value, withouit
nlmakitng any ciharge whatever for the
allegued nmineral, and even in these
cases none of them hail develol)ed into
a paying puroperty. This situation is
expla:ined largely by the fact that, in
the mineral districts of Mointana and
Idaho, the Northern Pacific lands
were all classified as to their mineral
or non-lnineral character by commis
sioners appolinted by the government
for that purpose, and about 4,000,000
acres in these districts were classified
as unineral, and. therefore, exemiited
from the grant.
It is recognized that a practical dif
ficulty exists in determining lands
that -may be valuable for oil. So far

cific land grant, but the geological
formation in a portion of eastern,
Montana is similar to that where oil
has been discovered in portions of
Colorado and Wyoming, and some
drilling for oil has been done in east
ern Montana, but, so far, without
success.
The position of the company, as ex
plained by Mr. Cooper to the secre
tary, is that it cannot and does not
wish to take exception to any precau
tions the department may deem
necessary, in the way of examination
of the lands before the issuance of
patent, but it feels that the depart
ment should proceed forthwith to
make such examinations and investi
gations, and, having done so, then Is
sue patents to the non-mineral lands
without further delay.
Mr. Cooper further stated that the
company was being openly charged
with delaying the issuance of patents
for the purpose of escaping taxation
upon its lands, whereas the facts were
entirely to the contrary. F)or the past
10 years the company has continu
ously and vigorously urged the de
partment to complete the survey and
adjustment of its land grant; for that
purlose has advanced money to make
the surveys, and has consistently done
everything in its power to hasten the
work of surveying, 4djusting and
I patenting the grant.
Mr. Cooper referred to a statement
made in the report of the secretary
of the interior for the year 1909, that
the company was refraining from
making applications for the survey
of its grant for the purpose of es
caping taxation, and handed to Sec
retary Lane a copy of a letter which
he wrote to President Elliott of the
Northern Pacific company as soon as
the report in question was made puib
lic, and which letter was forwarded
by President Elliott to the secretary
of the interior. In this letter Mr.
('ooper explained the efforts that the
company had nlade to get its land
grant surveyed, and pointed out that
at the time tile report of the secre
tary was issued the company had ap
plications on file and the money de
posited with the treasurer of the
United States covering the survey of
an area, which, at the rate of prog-m
ress than had been made by the in
terior dtllartnlent in surveys for the
three years previous, would require
seven years to complete; in other
words, at the time the secretary was
complaining that it was refraining
from making applications for survey
in order to escaple taxation, the conm
pany had applications on file in the
department covering an area which it
would take seven years to survey, and
some of these applications were more
than 10 years old, and the surveys
had not yet been made.
The senators from Montatna and
Washington are very much interested
in the situation presented to Secretary
Lane, because of the large area of
lands awaiting patents in their states,
and the unfortunate condition that re
sults both in retarding the develop
ment of the districts in which the
lands are located, and the burden
thrown upon other taxpayers by the
escaping fruom taxation of the large
area of unpatented indemnity lands.
Secretary Lane expressed pleasure
that this situation has been called to
his personal attention, and stated that t
he would immediately have the mat
ter looked into, and simt action taken
by the department that would afford
the desired and much needed relief.

New York, April 23.-Hesitation by
stock mlarkvt operators to attempt an
interpretation of the situation was in
dicated today in the narrow range of
prices and small volume of business.
Few stocks mloved as much as a point
above or below\ yesterday's close.
Tentative efforts to bid ue, the lead
ers accomplished little. At the same
time bear traders were not inclined to
sell stocks aggressively. There were
several small swings back and forth,
but the day ended with only inconse
qluential changes. Speculation was
governed by the same forces that have
been operative for some time, and
which tend to repress any tendency
toward activity. European buying,
which recenltly loonted up as a factor
of considerable importance, 'has sub.
sided, at least temporarily. The form
to be taken by the tariff revision bill
as finally enacted, and its effect upon
business conditions remain to be de
terminedl. Wall street also is watching
with interest, though not concern,

fecting the Japanese.
There were i fecw exceptions to the

Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, April 23.-Export business
gave a sharp uplift to wheat here to
day, closing prices showing a gain of
from 7/%c to 01@1f c to 1V4c. Corn
finished unchanged to %c lower; oats
made a net drop of %c to 4%@4Ac, and
orovisions closed 5c to 17%c off.
Many traders who had sold earlier
on news of much-needed rain in the
southwest, turned active buyers, and c
the market became very strong. News
of the fall of ,Scutari to the Monte
negrins also helped bullish sentiment.
A survey of the international situa- t
tion showed that large foreign re
quirements of wheat would soon be in
order. All these influences offset
generally favorable domestic crop
news and large increase in primary
receipts.
Strong northwest markets lent sup- P
