him and found him very agreeable
Soon after the waiter who had shown
him up came and asked him for a
present
"But why?"
Don't you remember?' was the an

When a physician tells woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble.
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact, up to the point where
| the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows
Dear Mrs. Pinkham.-
81 cannot find words to express my thank
/ for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
| Compound did me. The doctor said coulC

Famous Pictures at Portland.

The Museum of Art, at the Lewis
and Clark exposition, contains the
most notable collection of pictures
ever brought together in the west.
Upon the walls are hung paintings
representing n value of more than a
million dollays, though some of them
are of such priceless worth that mere
figures cannot be used to appreciate
them. Scores of pictures by the old
masters and the best selections from
the newer artists of Europe and
America are there. The pictures have
been grouped in such manner as to
aid both the art connoisseur and the
layman in studying them to advan-
tage. The art exhibit is open free
to all exposition visitors, and those
who miss seeing this collection of the
worlds best paintings will wait many
years before another such opportuni-
ty presents itself.

Hearing how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations l decided to try it, and in
less than four months was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thaukfulness.
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:--
"Loss OF strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me TO seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that | had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation, and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this strongly objected
and 1 decided as a last resort to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
ITO my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and l can
not express my thanks for what it has done
| for me.n
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.
for advice.
For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, Inflammation, ul-
ceration, falling and displacement of
the womb, leucorrhoea, irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.
ANY woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink
hams Office would be convinced of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

MaIheur Project in Oregon.

The Malheur project is located in
southeastern Oregon. II has for its
object the reclamation Of about 1O0,-
900 acres of land along the Malheur
and Snake rivers. The broad valley
Of the lower Malheur is already partly
developed by private enterprise, the
summer flow of the stream being
utilized for irrigation. In order to in
sure a constant and abundant supply
of water for these lands and to re-
claim large additional areas 1t is pro-
posed to store the flood flow in nat
ural depression known as the Harper
| ban 70 this end a iiupounding
| dam of 10 feet high and 500 feet long
on top will be constructed about 25
miles above Vale. Natural spillways
viii be utilized and long canals will
convey the water from the reservoir
I 10 the lands to be irrigated. The res
ervoir thus formed, when once filled,
will provide sufficient supply for the
irrigation of 100000 acres of land for
/ two years without using any of the
normal flow of the streams.
1t is estimated that So per cent OF
the land under this project is in pri-
vate ownership, but not to exceed 49,
600 acres are supplied with water at
[ the present time and less than one
third of this area is fully irrigated
even in years of average run-off.
1t is believed that this project will
ultimately add farm value of nearly
10000 600 to eastern oregon. The
lands are tributary to the oregon

Professionally set aside $2,250,0 900 from

ton of these works.

Klamath Project.

The Klamath project is designed to
irrigate LAG. 6.401 acres of land in Ore
gon and 100000 acres in California.
It is the most essentially interstate
project that has yet been undertaken.
The waters of California irrigate the
lands of Oregon, the waters of oregon
irrigate the lands of California. About
one-half of the area to be reclaimed
is now occupied by lower klamath,
and Tule lakes, the drainage of which
is provided for as part of this project.
About b5 per cent of the total irri-
gable area is United States public
land.
The Klamath project calls for res
ervoir at Clear Lake, California, with
a capacity of $4,000 acre feet, dam
Of earth and rock 80 feet high and
$50 feet long, three inverted siphons
with total length Of pipe 1928 feet,
capacity $50 second feet: also four in
verted siphons of cement steel pipe
1885 feet total length, capacity 9S3

dam Of earth and rock 70 feet high

In addition to the reservoirs above
