When a physician tells woman, suf-
fering from female 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 just such 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
r women who, by taking Lydia 4. Pink.
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of St
Andrews Society, indianapolis, Ind,
writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
-" | cannot find words to express my thank;
for the good Lydia Z, Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could

Gasoline Steamboat 80 Feet Long,
With Carrying Capacity Of 10
Tons VIII Dare the Rapids-Harri-
man Engineers Engaged in Most
Difficult and Perilous WOrk-Can-
yon Almost impossible for 20 Miles.

One of the most difficult and dan
gerous tasks now being performed in
the entire northwest, is the survey OF
the canyon of Snake river for the
Hartman line projected from Hunt
ington to Lewiston.
For 20 miles the canyon is almost
impossible to any kind of boat, owing
to the rapids and huge boulders in
the stream. The walls tower to a
height of 200 feet at places and are
perpendicular. without a margin be-
tween the water and the wall of rock
For the past six months a party OF
engineers has been slowly advancing
toward this rocky canyon from both
directions, up and down stream, and
a gasoline boat has at last been Sc
cured which it is thought will safely
navigate the dangerous canyon. The
Lewiston Tribune says of the boat
which is now being tried on Snake
river near that place:
The camps of the Oregon Short
Line engineers. engaged in making
the survey for the Huntington-Lewis-
ton line, will, when engaged on the
lower section of the work in the Snake
river canyon, be supplied with pro-
visions through the operation of q
gasoline steamboat that will ply be-
tween Lewiston and the camps
The boat reached Riparia few
days ago. but has been delayed in
reaching here on account of the tenn
porary suspension of the steamboat
service. The craft, however, has been
placed in the water at Riparia ant

Captain Baughman stateu yesterday
that the boat is most substantial on,

The boat is SO feet long and has Q

from serious operations decided to try it,
and in less than four months | was entirely

Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Sd

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss Of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs cramps, bearing-do pains, and an
irritable disposition compelled me to seek
medical advice The doctor, after making
an examination, said that had serious

operation as my only hope. To this strongly
objected-and decided as last resort TO try

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all functional troubles, inflammation,
liberation, falling and displacement,
weakness, irregularities, indigestion

letters on file in Mrs. Pinlham's office

That the next legislature may adopt
the voting machine In Oregon cleo
tlons seems how quite probable. Con-
siderable agitation for the voting ma
chine has oeen carried on in Portland
this season and 1t is probable that
a hill authorizing the machines will
be introduced at the coming session.
The Oregonian ia discussing the feas-
itilitv of the voting machine says:
That Multnomah county can save
$4,000 election expenses every year by
use Of voting machines-more than
enough in three years to pay the cost
Of the machines-is the assertion of
State Senator $. G. Beach, who AYERS
that the new voting method would
save tirae in counting ballots-returns
being known at once after closing of
the polls-do away with defective bal
lots and obviate election contests such
as that between Stevens and Word for
the office of sheriff after the last
election.
The new voting method will be
championed in the legislature this
winter by Senator Beach and also
Senator Sig Sichel. who will both
work for passage of law, authorizing
the use OF machines. Senator Beach
has already drafted bill giving coun-
ty courts the optional power of estab-
fishing machines In their respective
counties. either for county as whole
or for special precincts
A machine viii enable 1000 electors
TO vote quicker than 800 now take for
that duty. and will therefore make
possible a lessening in the number of
precincts, which, according to the
present law, are formed by the coun-
ty court to contain as nearly as pos
sible 200 electors each.
Machines cost all the way from S265
TO 5000 each. Electors have dummy
machines on which to practice before
elections, thus acquainting them
selves with the method OF voting. Be-
fore the earthquake In California, San
Francisco had 1873 machines In use.
In New York 76 cities have used ma
chimes, for between two and 10 years
Sacramento uses 81 machines.
Senator'S Beach and Schel say that
as business proposition. the proposal
for machines, II carried out. will save
the county many thousands of dollars
and that as an election simplifier, the
machine should be adopted If for no
other reason.
Here are some examples of actual
results These cases cited are not
theoretical. Seventy-s!x cities in New
York have used the machines for from
two TO 10 years. Buffalo, n. Y, used
1l2 machines. displacing 205 voting
places and saves $4,000 per year
thereby, or S9S,000 in seven years,
Rochester, same state, uses 75 ma
chimes in that many precincts, under
the old system, saving $4,000 per year
or $4,000 in the eight years 1t has
used the machines; Milwaukee, Wis
uses 112 machines and saves $4,000
per wear.
