MiIlionai,e's Poor Stomach

The worn-Out stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in
the public prints as a horrible eXaIh-
ple Of the evils attendant on the pos
session Of great wealth. But million
aires are not the only ones who are
afflicted with bad stoDachs. The pro
portion is far greater among the
toilers. Dyspepsia and indigestion
are rampant among these people, and
they suffer far worse tortures than
the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine
like Green's August Flower, which
has been a favorite household remedy
for all stomach troubles for over
thirty-fve years. August Flower
rouses the torpid liver, thus creating

Fred Is u Rustler.

The Charter Oak Mill, under
the management of +, J. Oberer,
formerly of Corvallis, has de vel
oped into one of the substantial
enterprises of this section Of the
state. The Dallas Observer de-
votes over column to a write
up of the company's plant, from
which it IS seen that the mill is
busy turning out orders and max
ing a steady growth.
There are several cottages near
the mill, all occupied by the
families of men at work there or
in the woods. A large comfort
able bunk house for the single
men is also located hard by.
There is also large barn OH the
premises, where 10 horses, four
COWS and hundreds of chickens
Or turkeys find shelter and fod-
der. Four big springs furnish
an abundance OF pure, cold water,
and altogether the site is an ideal
one in every particular for a saw
mill. Under the circumstances
it is not surprising that every one
employed by the Charter Oak
Mill Co. is happy or contented
whether at work or play.
AS the name of the company
implies, oak logs of Oregon
growth only are treated at this
factory, and under the able man-
agement of Mr. Ooerer is steadily
gaining national reputation
through the character Of tie work
turned out. 'Tl le is constant

and lumber and III a great meas

RECLAIMING OREGON LAND.

Probably the first arid land
reclamation work by the govern
ment in Oregon will be done in
the southeastern portion of the
state, where large body of land
has recently been withdrawn.
There do not seem to be many
engineering difficulties in the
Silvies River project in Harvey
county. There is an adequate
water supply, natural reservoir
site, and a large acreage Of good
land that can easily be covered
by ditch. 1t is estimated that a
successful construction of this
system will add from 5000 to
5000 farms to that portion of
Oregon, and will increase the
population there at least $4,000
within a few years. A provis-
sion in the irrigation bill, insert
ed at the instance OF the late Mr..
Tongue, to which the GAZETTE
has heretofore called attention,
makes it necessary Tor more than
half of the funds arising from
the sale of public lands in any
state to be expended in that
state. AS Oregon has the largest
fund it is probable that another
reclamation project can be un-
dertaken soon, even though
nearly half the money goes else
where.
The Agricultural Division OF
the United States census office
will issue, toward the latter part
of the year, bulletin on irriga-
tion in the United States for the
year 1902. This will prove a
valuable and interesting publica-
ton, as it will show the number
of acres and number of farms ir
