The success Of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. 1t may be
used with perfect confidence by women
who suffer from displacements, infiam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, ir-
regularities, periodic pains, backache,
bearing-down feeling, tlatulency, indi-
gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra-
ton.
For thirty years Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has been the
standard remedy for female ills, and
suffering women owe 1t to themselves
to at least give this medicine a trial.
Proof is abundant that it has cured
thousands of others, and why should
it not cure youp

CHOICE APPLE SPECIMENS,

Sunday e. TruaX left at this Office
samples of apples that he had secured
from the orchard of j. r. Erwin, on
Tonasket creek, at an elevation of sew
eral hundred feet above the valley,
and from the appearance of the FRUIT
it is evident that the valley sare at to
monopolize the repptatiop H. Wis
county is gaining for producing q
superior quality of the king of fruit.
Mr.. Erwin has 700 trees planted, but
only small portion of his orchard is
at present in bearing. He intends to
set out l6 acres altogether, and ex-
poets to conserve sufficient amount
of water for his use by constructing a
dam across the creek and storing in a
reservoir the surplus drainage in the
spring. The samples coming from the
Erwin orchard were certainly choice
specimens, and indicates that an or
chard can be made success even on
the higher lands, if means can be pro-
vided for securing water for irrigation.

and Tax Commissioner Frost were

selves as surprised and delighted at
the attractiveness of this part of the
Okanogan valley, and the evidence of
the fertility of the soil. predicting a
great future for the town and the
country adjacent Governor Hay de-
clared that If the place was more easy
of access he would invest in one of the
East Oroville orchard tracts fronting
on the lake, if fer no other purpose
than to give his children the pleasure
of a residence on the lake shore dur
ing the summer months. This is the
impression that strikes all strangers

thus given utterance would carry nc
