BAKER CITY IN DISTRESS.
Special Census Fails to Show Assumed
Population.

The following article from the Ba-
ker City Democrat is a reflection of
the deep disappointment felt in that
place because the special census OF
the town fails to disclose any larger
population than that shown by the
assessors returns last spring, and ut
terly discredits the claim that it has
10000 population, or any more than
6247. The Democrat says:
The records of the census enumer-
ators whose work has been done I'M
der the direction of Assessor Fleet
wood as required by an oregon stat
ute that became a law 10 years ago,
showing the polling of Baker county's
population, as revealed between the
federal enumeration, was filed with
County Clerk Combs yesterday.
From the loose sheets now in hand,
of which there are something over
900, it is fair to estimate that the
showing as a whole will be somewhat
less than the federal census of five
years ago. This condition will breed
discussion and criticism of the work of
the assessors deputies.
The revised figures Of the assessors
enumeration gives Baker City's popu-
Iation at 6247. These will by no means
meet the computations of those who
interest themselves in civic conditions
Every authority throughout the
west comedies that the minimum basis
for calculating total community pop
ulation is 4.29 for every enumerated
school child. Statistics has proved
| this ratio and in applying it to Baker
which had at its last school census ar
/ enrolment of 2047, the total popu-
lation would be $751;. The great ma
jority of people will contend that this
/ is nearer the population than tha
which has been credited to Baker by
the assessors returns.
1t is now pretty well determined b!
returns from all over the state tina
the census required from the severa
asse ssors is very unsatisfactory anC
many communities will have a kicl
coming until Uncle Samuel and hi
duly accredited representatives begii
their work five years in the future.

Thousands Of Women
ARE MADE WELL AND STRONG
Success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound Rests Upon the Fact that II
Really Does Make Sick Women Well

Thousands upon thousands of Ameri-
can women have been restored to
health by Lydia e. Pinlxham's Vegeta-
BILE Compound. Their letters are on file
in Mrs. Pinkham's Office, and prove this
statement to be fact and not a mere
boast.
Overshadowing indeed is the success
of this great medicine, and compared
with it all other medicines and treat
ment for women are experiments.
Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound accomplished its wide
spread results for good?
Why has it lived and thrived and
done its glorious work for quarter Of
century,
Simply and surely because of its ster-
ling worth. The reason no other med
icine has even approached its success
is plainly and positively because there
is no other medicine in the world so
good for women's ills.
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is a stimulant-notb because it is
a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic and recon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the uterine system, positively
CURING disease and displacements and
restoring health and vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures, and physicians
who have recognized the virtue in
Lydia e. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due. If physicians
dared to be frank and open, hundreds
of them would acknowledge that they
constantly prescribe Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound in severe
cases of female ills, as they know by
experience that it will effect a cure.
Women who are troubled with painful
or irregular menstruation, backache
bloating Tor flatuleBce), leucorrhea
falling, Inflammation or liberation o.
the uterus, ovarian troubles, tha'
bearing-down feeling, dizziness

tration, or the blues, should take i'm

consequences and be restored to healtl
and strength by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. Anyway

in Powder River valley and made his
camp Just north of where Baker City
now stands, at the old well a short
distance northeast of the Baldock
farm. A few days later he moved to
the present townsite of Baker City
and after satisfying himself that II
ever there was to be a town in Pow

located 16O acres of land on the west
side of what is known as Front street.
His associate was Royal A. Pierce,
and together they plated what was
known as Boyd & Pierce's townsite.

Killing Buck Out OF season.
Judge H. T. Bagley of Albany fined

Ter, Sam Varley and Charles Stevens,
of Forest Grove, s25 each for viola
ton of the game law relative to kill
ing deer. The party of four went out
to Gales creek district and landed a
five-pronged buck.
It is authoritatively stated that the
man who killed the deer is a we'll
known pioneer aged 73 years, and
that the weapon used was the first
Marlin rifle ever brought to Washing
ton county,
The joke of the proceeding is the
fact that the hunters gave a piece OF
the venison to the justice of the peace
named Adkins, on Gales creek, and
when the officers searched the place
he "peached" on the part. The min
| imum fine was imposed.
