IT is not at all surprising that
Chamberlain took the cake in Ore
gon, in the expression of preference
for U. S. Senator, when it is con-
sidered that he stands at the head
of the brainy men of the Pacific
Coast, and counts his friends by in
fluential men in both, Or all parties.
1t is with him as it was Sylvester
PennOyer, who made the next best
executive the State ever had, and it
was only necessary to place his name
on any ticket and he is sure to be
elected, and his every public act
meet with approval. Such is force
of character of the truly great.

That the congregation has made no
mistake in the choice of a man ia as
sist their pastor, Rev. H. B. Foster, in
this season of quickening, can be be-
lieved by looking at his pictures
which are displayed in the city in
many of the stores and homes. He is
a man worth while to meet, and more
than worth while to hear He has a
message, and he knows how to tell it
A local paper of Detroit, Mich,
where DR.. Orr labored almost a year
ago has this to say of his preaching
He breaches full gospel and does it
in a mastery and powerful way. He
exposes sin in all its hideousness; he
breaches the gospel in all its sweet
ness; he presents Christ, the Mediator
mighty to save"

-LYDIA E. PINKHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will find
women who have been restored to
health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Almost every
one you meet has either been bene-
flied by it, or has friends who have.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at
Lynn, Mass, any womanany day may
see the files containing over one mil
lion one hundred thousand letters
from women seeking health, and
here are the letters in which they
openly state over their own sigma
lures that they were cured by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia 3. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole
some and harmless.
The reason why Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound is 80
successful is because it contains in
gradients which act directly upon
the feminine organism, restoring it
to healthy normal condition.
Women who are suffering from
those distressing ills peculiar to their
sex should not lose sight of these
facts or doubt the ability of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to restore their health.

One town has probably been wiped off the map, although so far as known all of the 400 inhab- itants escaped. Cascada, a town of 400 people, siXty-nine miles from Helena. and 32 miles north ot Craig, is now under water and is in danger of being swept away.
 An uncomfortable flood in the Missouri River is rapidly advanc- ing today on Great Falls, city of 15, 900 population. The Bos- ton and Montana shelter, one of the largest in the world, is built on the river banks and fears for it's safety are felt at each recur- renee of high waters. More than 1 300 men are employed at the shelter. Employees are en- gagged at night in the construct ion of wing dam" around the plant.
