through the government direct.
Thousands of acres in Curry, KAN
ath, Malheur, Umatilla and other
counties of the state which once
were considered worthless have un-
der the magic influence OF water
been made to bloom and blossom as
the rose, inviting thousands of pop
ulation where none but an OCCASION
al herder lived before Thrift and
enterprise follow in the wake of this
development and add to the wealth
and population OF the state. No sub
ject is of more vital interest to the
people than this subject of reclama-
tion. II affects not only Oregon but
nearly all the West, and l sincerely
trust that this convention will adopt
lringing resolutions on the subject of
the Fifteenth National Irrigation
congress which convencs in Sacra-
mento in September, pledging 1t
their support and inviting our peo-
pie to participate in it's deliberations.
The opening up of the Columbia
River has done much toward the
development of Eastern Oregon by
cheapening the cost of transportation
and adding to the profits of the pro-
ducor. and the hope for the opening
of the Willamette River and other
navigable streams and harbors OF
the state will add materially to the
wealth of Western Oregon.
Then. again, the magnificent lum-
ber interests of the state have added
more than all the rest to our pros
perity. and this Notwithstanding the
fact that more than onc-fifth OF our
territory in area. covered as II Is by
splendid forests. has been withdrawn
from us on sale. All that is needed
to make the Lumbar interests still
more valuable TO the state is better
facility for transportation.
II is almost impossible to speak
Iof the cause OF progress without
speaking of the causes which stay
progress, and in this connection let
me call attention to the fact that
central and southeastern, as well as
the Coast line OF Oregon, are prac-
tically undeveloped because of ack
of transportation facilities. Provi-
dence fashioned the face OF the state
from point near It's northeastern
boundary through and across tho
southeastern and central portion OF
the state 10 the southwestern portion
thereof for the convenience of the
railroad builder, and the hands OF
the producer In these sections are
stretching out In mute appeal to the
powers that hol' the destinies OF the
commonwealth In their hands beg
cling for relief, end none Is granted.
IL seems unfortunate that Oregon
should be parceled out, trafficked in
and despoiled by the one great rail-
way corporations that controls her
destinies. Especially is this true
when II is remembered that millions
of acres OF valuable lands have been
granted 10 the Originators OF this

That our American Forests abound In
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues Is abundantly attested
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu.

THE FIRST TWINCE
OF rheumatism Calls for Or. Williams
Pink Pills II You Would Be

Mr.. Frank Little well known citl-
zen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich. was
cured of a severe case of rheumatism
by DR.. Williams Pink Pills. In speak
ing about it recently, he said: My
body was run down and in no condi-
ton to withstand disease and about
five years ago l began to feel rheu-
matte pains in my arms and across
my back. My arms and legs grew
numb and the rheumatism seemed to
settle in every joint SO that l could
hardly move. while my arms were
useless at times. l was unable to
sleep or rest well and my heart pain
ed me SO terribly l could hardly stand
it. My stomach became sour and
bloated after eating and this grew
so bad that l had inflammation of
the stomach. l was extremely nerv-
GUS and could not bear the least
noise or excitement One whole side
of my body became paralyzed.

ering about FIVE years and seemed to

doctors, when friend here in Port.

deftly fashioned the roses, the car

bouquet and placed them in the cen

during which time her father sat smil-
ing approvingly upon her, while
feasted my eyes upon the delicate
tints of her fair cheeks and watched
the strange lights in her great brown
eyes-ah. dear one, if I had but her
hand to hold forever-if it were not
that fate separated us-if could
know her and not know the oath that
bound her!
The day passed as no other day
had done. kilograms and cablegrams
were prepared and sent to hundred
men, and the servants were coming
and going all day long.
The danger signal sped over the
wires-books and accounts were
placed away in the desks; and letters
which came from the committees
were hurriedly answered. and in TWEEN
ty-four hours the signal of danger
would reach the uttermost ends of the
habitable globe and the faces of two
thousand men and women would pale
at the awful news and await, in un-
told agony and suspense, the success
or failure of the hundred men who
would enter those dreadful caverns,
now slowly filling with gas, to remove
$s0,O00.000 worth of treasure, or be
blown into oblivion. 1t sent a shudder
through my frame to think of it-sup-
