Woman's Trials.

The bitter trail In a woman's life Is to
be chiIdless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
'sence OF this link to bind martial life
together, the absence OF this one pledge
TO mutnal affection Is IA common disap-
pointment. Many unfortunate couples
become esnranged thereby. Even II they
do not drift,apart, one may read the whole
extent OF their disappointment In the eyes
OF such childless couple when they rest
on the children OF others. To them the
largest familydoes not seem too numerous.
In many cases OF barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle to collaborating Is
easily removed by the cure Of weakness on
the part Of the woman. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means OF
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
barren womah, TO the great 10y of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction TO the bearing OF children has
been found to be OF surgical character,

At the council meeting last night
two ordinances providing for the paw
ing Of the business portions of Main
and Court streets were formally pass
ed. BY this action the council showed
clearly its intention of proceeding
with paving, and unless something un-
forseen arises the latter will certainly
be put through.
The ordinances passed call for bids
upon Warren's waterproof bitulithic
pavement, and the company will pre-
sent its bid within 10 days. After
such has been done the contract may
then be let and work commenced.
From the nature OF things, the ordi-
nances adopted last night were
lengthy, and nearly the entire council
meeting was devoted to the reading
and discussion of the same. After
the Court street ordinance had been
read the first time II was referred to
the street committee, and the Main
street ordinance was taken up. Both
measures were reported by the street
committee. and they were finally pass
ed under suspension OF the rules.
Every member present voted aye.
In behalf of the levee committee,
Chairman Hinkle reported last night

they had not secured a man.

NORTHWESTERN COMING WEST
Orders for Surveyors to Push to the
Pacific Coast.

A special from Shoshone, wyo.,
says of the movements of the North
western surveyors:
Authoritative information has been
given out here that Chief Engineer
Haines of the Northwestern railroad
has been ordered into the field with a
large party of surveyors to run line
west from this point on an extension
to the Pacific coast.
The party will be the largest which
has ever been sent out on a railroad
survey and have orders to push the
work forward as rapidly as possible.
This action on the part of the North
western is inspired by the building of
the Western Pacific from Salt Lake
to the coast as well as the extension
of the Milwaukee and st. Paul, which
has already commenced work on its
extension into the northwest territory.
The ordering of the Haines party
into the field explains the mystery
surrounding the recent action of the
company in voting additional bonds OF
100000, 900, many conjectures hav-
ing been made as to the uses to which
the vast sum was to be put.

STRUGGLE FOR 10000 ACRES.
Twin Falls Land & Water Co. and
the Idaho Irrigation Co.

What promises to develop into a
battle royal for the privilege Of
spending one or two million dollars
ginning in a contest before the state
land board today, says the Boise Cap
ital News. The parties to the con-
troversy are the Twin Falls Land &
Water company on one side, and the
Idaho Irrigation company on the
other. The former is composed of
Pennsylvania capitalists who have al
ready invested about $4,000 900 in the
greatest Carey act irrigation project
In the world and the latter is backed
by New York millionaires who have
set aside a fund to carry out the en-
terprise they have undertaken in the
shortest time that the work can be
accomplished.
The land which these magnates
Gus homes is located in the Snake
river valley. on the north side of the
river. in Lincoln county, south and
west of Shoshone. The Twin Falls
company filed an application before
the state land board for the segrega-
tion of land on the north side of the
river. the same being an addition to
the Twin Fails project, to be irri-
gated with water from the Snake
river. Previous to this application
the company had secured the segre-
CATION of 10000 acres of land nearer
the river, a distance of II miles
separating the two tracts.
Another Two Hours Later.
On the same day that the Twin
Falls company filed its application
for the 10000 acres. and about two
hours later the Idaho Irrigation COM
pany applied for the segregation of
$4,000 acres out of the east end of
the tract referred to, the same to be
irrigated with water appropriated
from the flood waters of the two
Wood rivers. this being one section
of a project covering 100000 acres
for which water rights had been OBJ
tanned.
The Twin Falls company contend
that the entire tract of 10000 acres
applied for is necessary to the sue
cess of their project; that to reach the
land 1t is necessary to cross II miles
of difficult territory, involving great
expense, and that to reduce the ter
ritory to be irrigated to the extent OF
10000 acres might render the prop
osition impracticable from a finan-
cial standpoint.
Supporting their claim to a better
right to spend great fortune in ir-
rigating the land, the Idaho Irriga-
ton company contends that there is
not enough water flowing in the
Snake river to irrigate the land under
the system proposed by the Twin Falls
company; that the stream is already
over-appropriated by existing enter
prises, and that unless they are per-
mitted to reclai mthe land with water
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-12-22
from the Wood river drainage it will
remain in its desert condition.
Big Storage Reservoirs.

This company is now engaged in
building immense storage reservoirs
to impound water sufficient to irri-
gate 10000 acres in the Wood river
valleys in Blaine and Lincoln counties
with enough left to supply the addi-
tionad 10000 acres applied for in the
Snake river valley, and that all the
land is required to justify the expense
of the great work undertaken.
This is the first case of the kind
ever presented before the state land
board of Idaho, wherein there was a
contest for the segregation of lands
under the Carey act, and the outcome
will be watched with the greatest in
terest by irrigationists throughout the
country. It is more than likely that
no matter what decision is reached
by the land board the matter will be
taken into the courts for final de-
cision.

VIII Hold Meetings at Salem.

Rev. Victor Doris, pastor of the
First Christian church, has just ac-
cepted an invitation to hold a series
of revival meetings in the Christian
church at Salem some time during
January, the exact date depending
upon the time at which the church is
ready for the meetings. A large new
church building has just been erected
and the pews have not yet been in
stalled. A number of churches in the
northwest had invited Rev. Doris to
hold meetings during the winter. His
services as an evangelist are in de-
mand in all parts of the country.

SCHOOL TAX VOTED.
Effort Will Be Made to Reduce the
Bonded Indebtedness.

bOHutn lHucDtcuneSS.
At the annual school tax meeting
held at the court house this after
noon levy of 12 mills was voted Tor
the Pendleton district. The meeting
occurred shortly after o'clock ana
but small number of the taxpayers
were in attendance.
The tax of IL mills was asked for
by the school board and 1t Is held a
smaller levy would be inadequate to
carry on the school work now being
done. 1t is also desired to pay off
some of the bonded Indebtedness of
the district IL possible. However II
is doubtful IL such can be done with
the levy voted.
The 12-mill tax is the same as that
for this district last year.
No Levy by Board.
1t was announced by DIR. C. ].
Smith in an address upon the needs
of the district, that If a 12-imll levy
were voted the board would not make
2-mill levy for the purpose of pay
ing interest on the bonded indebted
ness as it did last year. But should
levy of but 10 mills be made he de-
clared the board would be compelled
to make the additional levy.
At the conclusion of DIR. Smiths
remarks Walter NJ. Pierce moved that
levy of ~ mills be voted. The mo-
ton was seconded by Fred W. Lamp
kin and carried without an opposing
vote.
The following is the estimated need
of the district for the coming year, as
shown by School Clerk Bickers this
afternoon: For teachers salaries,
s17,5OO; janitors, $1s45; clerk, $500;
fuel, $500; school supplies, ETC., s2,-
500; interest on bonds and overdraft
$4,000; total, $27,745.
