the young women Of the south to erect

Simply this: Within recent years many

carved in the enduring marble and
bronze Of certain Andersonville monu-
ments. ....
Naturally these attacks-especially
as Wirz had long before paid the pen
alty--have engendered some feeling.

the Confederacy. Hence a movement

N. Y, the most healthful city in the
United States. Recently the high NOR
tally of children under 5 years of
age was noticed and Immediately steps
were taken to find the cause. The milk

to contain death-producing bacteria.
The result is that now there are a

throughout the city where mothers can
get pure milk When we think that

WILL USE FIR TIES.
Milwaukee Road Contracts for Pacific
Coast Materials.

Washington and Oregon fir will be
used in the construction of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul from
Chamberlain and Evarts to the coast.
Fir lumber will be used for bridge
materials and for ties
For more than 10 years the st. Paul
road has been using Washington fir
for all bridge building work where
timbers were used. Complete tests
were made by the road, and fir was
found to have a greater strength than
oak, hemlock, white pine or any other
available woods for railroad purposes.
The st. Paul road has never used
fir as ties. Most Of the ties used on
the road are oak and hemIock. Aside
from the fact that fir has been ex-
pensive and required a long haul, the
ST. Paul has had mills along its own
line which 1t desired to patronize.
With the construction of the coast
extension, the road will haul its own
supplies for much OF the distance and
can build up mills in this new terri
tory.
Nc estimate has been made of the
amount of Washington and Oregon
lumber products that will be required
in the building of the line. President
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-04-09

H. r. Williams, Of the road, said to-
day in Seattle. that most Of the con-
tracts would be distributed among the
mills in western Washington. but 1t
may be necessary for the road to build
some of its own tie camps and possl-
bly, to erect temporary sawmills to
get out special timbers
Contractor H. c. Henry is now look
ing over the line preparatory to be-
ginning work, and as soon as he puts
out his construction crews there will
be an immediate requisition for ma
terials. If the present mills are so
crowded that they cannot get out or
ders the railroad will have to see to
1t that no wplants are started. With
work inaugurated that will require
about five years to complete, the rail-
road will not take any chances with
a failure to set materials on time.

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham.
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
In the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
1t was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pscu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink.
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as q
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interest:
of the Pinkham family, as this clas:
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkhamt
Vegetable Compound was made know
to the world.
The three sons and the daughter
with their mother, combined forces Il
