bia River Railway officials are exert
ing every effort in their power and
using as many men as they can Sc
cure to repair the damage to the tracks
in this section of the country which
were so badly demoralized by the re-
cent floods.
Assistant Superintendent Pennington
arrived in walla Walla last night from
Starbuck and is directing the work of
repairs on the o. r. & N. from Walla
Walla. This morning two crews were
sent out on the Pendleton branch to-
ward Milton where several washouts
occurred. These men will work on to-
ward Pendleton. This afternoon an
were sent out of Wallula over the w.
& C. r. for Pendleton where they will
begin working on the o. r. & N. line
towards Walla Walla. The extent OF
the damage is not known at present,
but the railroad safticials feel hopeful
that the line to y Pepdleton can be
cleared so that trains can be started
not later than Sunday.
Walluia Branch Open.
The bridge at Whitman station was
repaired last night and No. 43 was
sent out on regular time. Owing to the
condition Of the track slow run was
made, but the train reached Wallula
in time to connect with No. 3, the train
from Spokane which runs over the
Snake river branch. The bridge at
UmatilIa is unsafe and no trains are
trains met there and passengers
baggage, express and mail matter were
transferred from one train to the
other. NO. A, the Wallula swing train,
reached Walla Walla this morning at
9:45, bringing few passengers and
quite a large amount of Portland and
coast mail. the first to reach Walla
WaT1a in two days.
All passengers from Portland for
Pendleton are transferred at Wallula
to the w. & c. r. and carried to their
destination by that road.
The work crews are still busy along
the line of the w. & c. R. between
Walla Walla and Dayton, and it was
expected that all repairs would be
made in time to send out train to-
morrow morning.
Open to Spokane.
No. and No. 8. the. Pendleton-Spo-
kane trains. are only running from
Spokane to Walla .Walla and return.
These trains are practically on time
and passengers for Dayton and Waits

It is hardly possible that the main
line of the o. R. & N. will be cleared
for at least week. The track in the
Blue Mountains is said to have been
nearly all washed out and it will take
quite long time to repair the damage

with the state convention sat down
for September and the county conven-
lions stretching over the intervening
space, the commission Is moved to &C
tiyity. The return engagement the
commission will play at Colfax has
been sat down for June 20. That the
commission intends to make the affair
a spectacular exhibition is shown by
the circumstance that the Walla Walla
hearing will be postponed until June 2S.
This gives five or six days to play
with the roads at Colfax. There ought
to be room in those days for theatrical
and political effect.
Walla Walla has never seen the
commission in action. Therefore the
limit is off on the Walla Walla hear
ing and an indefinite engagement. be-

city. The Mead machine, with Warden
KEGS and Eugene Lorton as custodians,
has only temporary quarters in the
prison city. The governor himself and
Jimmy Davis, the boy manager on the
board of control, have made frequent
surveys of Walla Walla, but Harry
Faichild, the presiding genius in the
Mead administration, has not had an
opportunity to improve on their work.

 fore Mrs. Pinkham every year, some personally, others by mail. Mrs. Pink ham is the daughter -in-law of Lydia D. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her de. cease she has been advising sick women free of charge.
 Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con- fidence of women, and every testimon- ial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as she has been.
 Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 313 Boyce Street, Chattanooga, Tenn, writes: Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
 "Three years ago life looked dark to me. 1 had alteration and inflammation ot the female organs and was in a serious condition. "My health was completely broken down and the doctor told me that if was not op- erated upon I would die within six months. I told him I would have no operation but would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. He tried to influence me against it but sent for the medicine that same day and began to use it faithfully. Within five days felt relief but was not entirely cured until I used it for some time.
 "Your medicine is certainly fine. l have induced several friends and neighbors to take it and I know more than a dozen who had female troubles and who to-day are as we'll and strong as I am from using your Vege- table Compound"
 Just as surely as Mrs. Berryhill was cured, will Lydia E. Pinl1ham's Vege- table Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female ills.
 If you are sick write Mrs. Pinkham for advice. It is free and always help ful.
