A Few 'Cascarets'
Cure Constipation

Pleasant, Gentle, Though the Most
Effective Remedy in the World
for Sluggish Bowels or
Lazy Liver.
In the old days physic was dread
ful-calomel, castor oil, salts or ca
thartics. And they were worse than
they seemed, for they irritated the
bowels. They acted much as pepper
acts in the nostrils. They flooded
the bowels with fluids. But those
fluids were digestive juices. And a
waste today means a lack tomorrow.
You secured relief, but you were ac-
tually worse off than without it.
It's different with Cascarets. Their
effect is the same as that of laxative
foods, or exercise. They stimulate
the bowels to natural action. No
gripping, no pain. They act as a bow
ell tonic.
The old way, too, was to take large
doses Of physic. People waited until
the bowels we're clogged. The new
way is to take one Cascaret when you
need it. Carry box in your pocket
or purse. Ward OF the troubles in
stantly. The modern plan is TO keep
at your best. The old way wasted
too many good hours. Get 10-cent
box of Cascarets now.

CONFIRMS
The WORK or
THE BOARD
JUDGE BRADSHAW NOTIFIES
BOARD OF CONTROL THAT IT'S
WATER RIGHT DETERMINA.
TIONS ARE CONFIRMED PRAC-
TICALLY UNCHANGED. l.,.

The board of control has received
word from Judge W. L. Bradshaw of
The Dalles, that he has heard all OBJ
jections made to it's water right. de-
Examinations for Squaw Creek and
Tumale Creek in Crook county and
with but few exceptions, such find
ings will be confirmed as soon as the
proper order and DEGREES can be en-
tered.
A total of 2SS rights to water were
involved in the Squaw Creek deter
mination, and the decree to be en-
tered will confirm rights to irrigate
16O1S.S5 acres of land, 6651.35 acres
OF which are at present under irriga-
ton. In the Tumalo decree, $50 rights
to water are involved, affecting about
10000 acres of land, only 305S acres
Of which are under irrigation at the
present time
The new water code has been in eff
feet but little over two years. Dur
ing this time the state engineer has
completed the surveys as a basis for
water right determinations on 20 diff
ferent streams. The division superin-
tendents have taken the original tes-
timony of claimants to water on II
of these streams, and the board of
control has entered orders determin-
ing the relative rights to water on
nine of these.
Eight of these determinations have
now been confirmed by the courts, in
volving ain all $50 rights to water.
These rights have been thus defined
at an average cost to the claimants
on the different streams, ranging
from $500 to $1,000 each, and at no
expense to the state, as the fees paid
to the state more than equaled the
appropriations made for such pur-
poses.
AT the present time surveys are in
progress on Powder River in Baker
county, to collect the fundamental in
formation as basis for an adjudica-
ton of the water rights on this stream
and all of its tributaries. Similar
eurveys will be commenced in the
near future by the state engineer on
Silvies River in Harney county and
Lost river in Klamath county, and
the maps of the Rogue river hereto
fore made, will be carefully checked
over to bring them up to date.
