LEWIS AND eLARK SOUVENIR.
DIR. II. w Coo Donates Beautifully
Designed Spoons.

A beautiful spoon made of native
copper, donated by DIR. H. w. Coe
and designed by Mrs. 'Coe, has just
made its appearance in the windows
of the Portland tewelry establish
ments.
The spoon is arranged so as to pre-
sent the pictures of the two famous
explorers. Lewis and Clark under
which is gracefully placed the Lewis
monument and a representation OF
Multnomah falls
In the bowl OF the spoon is repre-
sented IA beautifully carved picture OF
Sacajawea, the Indian woman who
led the men over their journey. The
representation is also an exact copy
of the copper statue which is to be
erected in Oregon in honor of this
Indian woman, by the public-spirited
citizens of Oregon, and unveiled at
the coming exposition.
The seal of oregon occupies the
topmost part of the back of the
spoon, with Mt. st. Helens and Spir-
ii lake, the home of the copper, and
two great fir trees. Under these
the famous Columbia river salmon
finds a convenient display.
The spoon is a beautiful piece OF
ingenious and artistic work. and
should find ready demand. The
entire proceeds from the sale is to be
presented to the monument fund.

AFTER SICKNESS
VINOL is A WONDERFUL TONIC
AND STRENGTHENED.
The Brock q McCOmas Co. Refunds
Money in All Cases Where II Fails
to Give Satisfaction.

During the past few months there
has been a great deal of sickness Of
one kind and another in this vicinity"
Comas Co, "and / want to say to
the people of Pendleton that the one
thing to aid recovery after sickness
is to give the patient a blood build
ing and strength restoring tonic. one
that will give strength to every organ
in the body.
Now" continued Mr.. Brock, Il
don't believe there is another rene
dy in the country equal to our deli
cious cod liver oil preparation, Vim
oil, for making pure, rich, red blood
and building up strength. I say this
from an intimate knowledge of al
most every medicine on the market,
and after considering what Vinol is
and has done.
"Vinol contains every one of the
body building, medicinal elements of
cod liver oil, without one drop of oil
to upset the stomach and retard its
work, and this with organic iron,
which is a needful constituent for the
blood, dissolved in a delicious table
wine, makes Vinol. 1t acts directly
on the stomach, creates a healthy ap-
petite, and enables the digestive or
gans to obtain teh necessary elements
| from the food eaten, to make rich,
red blood, and healthy flesh and
muscle tissue, and create strength,
and you know what you are taking
Continued Mr.. Brock. I'VE have a
good many letters like the following:
"Mr. A. Manser of Poughkeepsie
n. Y, writes: "A severe fever left me
in very weak condition. and nc
matter what took, could not seem
to get any strength. until through q
| friend 1 learned of Vinol. Two bottles
worked wonders for me, so quickly
did it restore my health and strength
and 1 am fast gaining in weight
Vinol is wonderful strength creator.
I'm the strongest manner we un
hesitatingly endorse and guarantee
Vinol to increase the appetite. cure
stomach troubles, give strength anC
renewed vitality to the aged, buil'
up the rundown, tired and debilitat
ed and restore health to the conval
escent or we will return every dolla
paid us for it."-Brock & McComa

ID. G. Martin, engineer in charge
of construction work on the dam and
head of canals at Minidoka, is in the
city. Today a Capital News reporter
this morning Mr. Martin said:
Ninety men are employed on the
works now and within 80 days 900
men will be employed, and night
shifts will be put on as soon as the
dynamo and electric lighting plant
are received and installed.
1.-The Bates & Rogers Construction
company's contractors have completed
three of the four cable towers that
are to carry the cables across the
river, upon which a skip will oper-
ate to handle material for the dam.
The towers are 80 feet in height and
the cables are 1850 feet long. The
towers stand 1850 feet apart from
center to center. The division chan
mel has been excavated to a depth of
25 feet for a distance of rs feet, and
much work has been done in INSTALL
ing machinery and preparing the
plant for operation.
ION the ground now is high
grade air compressor with engine and
horse power. The compressor will be
used chiefly in operating air drills
as the contract calls for the placing OF
10000 yards of rock in the dam
The rock to be used will be taken
from the main canal which for two
miles will have to be blasted out OF
the solid lava rock. Two more boilers
one of 40 and the other of 60-horse
power capacity and an engine are be-
ing installed for operation of the ca
BILE ways.
Materials are on the ground fol
constructing a bridge across the river
over the dam. The bridge will carry
car track connecting with the cana
| beyond the rock work, and all earth
will be hauled and dumped from the
bridge. An arrange pear' dredgC
with a shovel that carries 65 ton!
will be used TO fill the cars from tht
canal. The dredge is not yet on the
ground, but has been shipped from
point on the Tennessee river, wher'
it was last used and is expected to ar
rive very soon. The machinery, will
the exception of the dredge ant
lighting plant, is now on the groun,
and rapid progress may be expecte'
from now on"
Mr.. Martin. who was in charge o
the construction works at the Milne
dam for 10 months, is well posted ol
the ways of the Snake river and vii
see to it that the work is pushed alonl
so that the high water in the sprin
will not cause delay. He said tn
river at that point was closed TO
three weeks by ice, but It all wen
out a week ago and Ferry boats hav
resumed their runs.
The first of the government wells
Mr.. Martin said, was completed
few days ago, and at depth of II
feet splendid flow of water was sc
cured. The well was sunk at tn
middle" and 20 feet of lava was en-
countered when nearing the bottor
of the well.
