Lancer Than Tiro States. Wallowa County Is oval In shape and Is 73 miles long north and south, and (2 miles wide east and west. It has an area of about 1600 square miles. It Is more than half the size of Connecticut or New Jersey, twice as large as the State of Rhode Island, and larger than Delaware by more than 00 square miles. It Is the extreme northeastern county of Oregon, and Joins Washington and Idaho at a point. It has natural boundaries on three des, and these natural boundaries are also legal boundaries. The famous Snake River Is on the east and Grande River on the northwest. The Wallowa River forms a portion of the western boundary. On leaving Its channel the line enters the Mlnam River and follows Its course to the summit of the Powder River mount ains, traversing this summit In a circuit ous route to a points) miles west of Snake River, and thence is drawn due east to what Is known as Limestone Point, thus completing the western and forming the southern boundary. On the north, the county Is bounded by the Washington state line. Thus, on all sides, nature has thrown up almost Insurmountable bar riers and not until the construction of the Wallowa Hill road In recent years it was not only arduous, but a hazardous, task to enter the Wallowa VaUey with a team and wagon. Stnce that date, progress and develop ment have been the watchword and the record Is one of which any pioneer com munity should Justly feel proud. The Wallowa Valley proper for the possession of which, for himself and people. Chief Joseph has caused Uncle Sam so much annoyance Is about 35 miles long and from I to 7 miles wide. In It are located the principal towns of the county. Its natural divisions are three upper, middle and loner. A range of hills sep arates the upper from the middle. Stand ing on the banks of Wallowa Lake at Joseph one may view the entire expanse of the upper valley. It Is about IT miles long and six miles wide. Its upper or southern portion is between 900 and 400 feet below Wallowa Lake. There Is con siderable fall throughout Its length. Hleh. Above the Sea. Enterprise, situated in the lower part of this upper valley, is about 5S00 feet above the sea. thus showing that town to be about 750 feet below Lake Wallowa and Joseph. The town of Los tine is the principal trading point in the middle val ley and the town of Wallowa the infant metropolis of the north or -lower end. The middle valley is nine miles In length and six or seven miles wide. The lower valley Is partly surrounded by mountains, and a porton of Its territory Is in reality a hill country. The elevation of the town of Wallowa Is r3 feet, a fall of 2050 feet from Lake Wallowa. A few miles below the town of Wallowa the Wallowa Canyon, which extends about ten' miles along the Wal lowa River to Its Junction with the Ml nam. It should be remarked that the Wallowa Valley is watered by the Wal lowa River, which has its source in Wal lowa Lake. In Wallowa County. Wallowa Lake Is one of the greatest natural per ennial storage reservoirs In the West.

Stock Rnnire the Hills. From the county livestock Inspector's report to the county officials, the infor mation is gleaned that there are at pres ent about 250.000 head of sheep in this county: 15.(0) head of cattle, 12,000 head of hogs and more than 15.000 bead of horses and mules. The surface contour of the county ranges In altitude from less than 5000 feet on the Snake to a point on Saw Tooth Mountain (in the, Powder River Range) estimated as 12.000 feet above the sea. The cattle, sheep and horses are driven to the mountain ranges In the Summer, brought to the slopes, foothills and buttes in the Fall, and taken to the protected valleys of the Imnaba country (In Wallowa) for the Winter. For months the papers have published reports of the severity of the Winter in other Eastern Oregon counties; that cat die, horses and sheep have been perishing with cold and hunger by the thousands, and that hay waa selling from 05 to tSD per ton. Theodore T. Schluer, one of the leading cattle men of Wallowa, explains the conditions here and reveals the great contrast when he says: There Are Ao Animal Diseases. "Cattle, horses, sheep and hogs were never In better condition in Wallowa County than at present. Our horses have no distemper, our hogs no cholera, our sheep ho scab and our cattle are per fectly healthy and In good condition.

GENERAL VIEW OF WALLOWA acreage could be irrigated, but where water has been applied to the land owned by the promoters of the ditch It has been thought amply sufficient. So it Is that many thousands of acres in excess of what is being irrigated at present could yet be reclaimed and the annual products of the county Increased several fold. Wallowa Lake, at the town of Joseph could be dammed at Its mouth at a small cost, owing to the natural barriers and surroundings and the water of the entire surface (one by five miles) could be raised 20 feet If desired. This would make pos sible the reclamation of. say, 80,000 acres of alluvial bench land tributary to Joseph and Enterprise, which would produce an. nually from four to six tons of alfalfa. Land values are advancing around these two towns. Only a few years ago one could purchase alt the ranches one wished nt from $S to $10 an acre under Irriga tion. Now land is held at CO and 5. and la going up gradually. The assessor's roll shows that there were 152,015 acres of tillable and pasture land under cultiva tion last year, but it la estimated that this acreage will be eked out to about 225,000 for 1901. The total taxable property in the county for 1302 was LK7.062. but County Judge Hamilton is authority for the statement that the present assessment will be on a valuation of more than $2,000,- 000. Without mentioning the numerous smaller ditches which combined irrigate thousands of acres, there are incorporated ditch companies doing business in the county which control 27,500 inches of water. This, after the second year. It is estimated, will irrigate 3.000 acres of land. or two acres per year for every miner's Inch of water used. E. E. T. HOME IS PROSPEROUS. Fnvornble Reports Read nt Annual Meeting of Ladles' Relief Society. The annual meeting of the Ladles Relief Society managers of the Children's Home, was held yesterday in the parlors of the First Presbyterian Church. Interesting re ports were read by the officers of the oo clty, and afterwards officers for the year wero elected, and also members of the ad visory board. The former officers were all re-elected and on the advisory board two -new names were added. Mrs. M. C George, and Mrs. Clarence Nichols, H. L. Plttock was elected to serve on the board of directors. Mrs. P. J. Mann, president of the so ciety, read an excellent report of the year's work, not forgetting to pay a trib ute to the memory of Mrs. Holbrook and to her Immediate predecessor. Mrs. Dolph. "Having been absent In Europe when you honored me by electing me to the presi dency," Mrs. Mann eald. "and not return ing until half of the year had rolled away, the work was done by others, and to them aU praise is due. Mrs. Rockwell honored the presidency as she has every other po sition she has been called on by you to fill. Our treasurer. Mrs. Wygant. has safely guarded our funds as she has these many yearn. Even If It has been a labor of love on her part. It has been fraught with work and care. The duties of our secretary. Mrs. Hughes, are arduous. She not only has to keep the records of our monthly meetings, but attend to all the correspondence and any other business In which her services are needed. "I am pleased to say that all these services are given to us, no officer of our society .having ever received any remuner ation for eervlrs. All money collected by us has gone directly to the support of the Homo, there being no outside expenses. To our board of managers we are greatly in debted for their untiring efforts to keep our Home in such a manner as to be a credit to our society and to our city. They are expected to visit the Home not only once a week, but there are numerous calls for special meetings, which they are ready to respond to. The responsibility they feel. I know from experience, is very great, and many an anxious hour Is given to solve the knotty problems before them. The tales of woe they are called on to hear, and sift the worthy from the un worthy, the true from the untrue, woald sometimes seem to need the wisdom of Solomon to unravel. There may have been times when they have listened to some tale of sorrow, and stretched out a helping nana, wnen tne party proved unworthy. but I am sure you would rather they should err on the side of humanity, than turn a deaf ear to the cry of the un fortunate. If the parents are unworthy. how much more necessary it is for us to take the children and give them the lov ing care and proper training that Is the aim of our Home to accomplish. Our matron. Mrs. Newhouse. Is a worthy, kind hearted woman, and to the best of our knowledge and belief controls the children without the use of the rod. There la very little Insubordination. It is almost surprising to see how soon the children become obedient and obey the rules we have found necessary to establish. The heating of the hospital Is not altogether satisfactory to the board, there being no furnace In the building. The matter will be duly considered. The heart of the general public Is still responsive to our appeals for aid, as on Thanksgiving do nations were never more generous than they were the past FalL Several gifts were received from out of the city. In the death of Hon. Henry w. Cbrbett we cars met with a great loaa.- He, was Interested In our society from its organisation, glvlng a good cam for an endowment fond, eerr ing on oar board of trustees, and sending ua substantial aid whenever we appealed to him.

REFORM IN GERMAN ARMY Prince Issues Orders Against Cruelty to Privates and Drunkenness. BERLIN, April 7. Tho numerous In stances of the 111 treatment of soldiers by officers and noncommissioned officers have caused Emperor William and the raverelgns of the individual states of Germany to unite in special measures to put a stop to It- The text has Just been made public of an order Issued on the subject by the hereditary Prince of Saxe- Melnlngen. commander of the Sixth Army Corps, who advises the soldiers to lodge complaints when they are in used. He says: "Officers must explain frequently to the soldiers that It is neither the wish of His Majesty and their other superiors, nor does It correspond with the reasonable feeUng of self-respect of privates, that they silently tolerate IU treatment. If sol diers do not report 1U treatment It is well nigh Impossible for their superiors to take steps for their protection and call to responsibility the officers guilty of cruel ties. Soldiers really encourage through their silence the rough treatment given them contrary to the rules, and In the course of time this becomes force of habit." The Prince has Issued another order against drunkenness. He points out to the privates the damaging effects of alco hol on the health and usefulness of men and directs the regimental doctor to dem onstrate to the soldiers its evil effects authoritatively and in a kindly manner. About 1700 Instances of drunkenness were punished In the Sixth Corps, numbering a,un men, issi year. .

The first work of Importance l3.it , hoped' that some work of a similar uo tanuuiuui, vu Butter Creek, with, a view of outlining a project for the reclamation of about 360,000 acres of fertile but seml-arid land Included within the limits of the recent de partmental withdrawal. It Is not known what part of the withdrawn lands Is susceptible of reclamation on a paying basis. It Is not known bow much land the available water of Umatilla River win Irrigate. It Is not known Just what system of reservoirs and canals will get SOURCE OF WALLOWA RIVER. the water on the land to the best ad-, vantage. All of these things are to Del studied and planned by tho experts now In the field, and by those who will soon Join them. Work was inaugurated on Butter Creek because that proposition, from the little known of it. presented more attractive features than any qther project in the . state that is open to the Government, i The subsequent failure of the Oregon lr- I xigauon committee to recommend to me survey any one project In the state aa superior to ail others on Its face made it necessary for the department to defer to the Judgment of some one willing to shoulder the responsibility, and famllar with the Eastern Oregon situation. There fore the deference paid to the recom mendation of Representative Moody. Examinations to Be Extensive. The field forces that are to be at work on Irrigation projects will go into details on every scheme they investigate. Aside from determining the amount of land re clalmable. the cost of the construction of dams and canals, and the relative cost per acre of final reclamation It will also be necessary to make soundings to de termine the character of foundations for proposed dams, examine into the charac ter of the soil through which canals are to be run, make accurate measurements of the streams and sources of water sup ply, to determine the amount of water that can be reUed upon each year, and, in" fact, work out every detail which en ters into the determination of the merits of a project. In examinations hereto fore made In other states, otherwise prom ising works have had to be abandoned because suitable foundation could not be found for dams, because cheoD rlchts- of-way could not be had for canals, or because the character of the soIL was such that the Immense seepage would render the construction of flumes neces sary where canals were desired. It Is this character of work that is to be conducted in Eastern Oregon, not only on nutter creek, but In every other lo cality where the Oregon Irrigation com- muiee nas cauea attention to possible sites for Government reclamation works. It is hardly expected that all these ex animations can be completed In the one season, though much depends upon the number of engineers that can be obtained for the work. Up to the present time the department has experienced difficulty in procuring the services of competent men. There are numberless applicants who wish to enter the service as assistants, but comparatively few capable of taking charge of the work and assuming respon sibility. If the examinations are not completed this Bummer, however, the work will be carried on hereafter, for the geological survey Is now fully aware of the Importance of Irrigation to Eastern Oregon, and furthermore recognizes the fact that Oregon is one of the largest con. trlbutors to the reclamation fund. Will Sink Artesian Wells. In many localities where1 there Is no river water available for Irrigation, or where it cannot be diverted at reason able cost. It has been found practicable to irrigate with artesian water. In the Dakota s, in Eastern Washington and in other localities artesian wells have been sunk, and have developed Immense water supplied. It Is the purpose of the Geo logical Survey to sink a number of ex perimental wells In different parts of arid Oregon to determine where artesian wells can be profitably sunk, and where the flow of water will be sufficient for irrigation purposes. It is thought that In sqme places where the supply of water will not be sufficient for Irrigation. It will at least afford valuable watering places for stock and furnish enough water ad ditional to provide the domestic and agri cultural needs of a few homes and gar dens. Owing to the cost of this work, these examinations will be limited In num- Fifty Years ihe Standard BAKING POWLtfR Awarded Highest lienors World's Fair Highest tests U.S. Gev't Chemists rniCC BAKING POWDER OO.

One of the most Important geologic ex aminations ever made In .Oregon waa the study and mapping of the Baker City gold fields by Waldexnar Llndgren. who went to Oregon atthe request of Repre sentative .Moody.

It is intended in : - .rt, - , mav be undertaken in the Strawberry Mountains of Grant County. In the Forest Withdrawals.

Agricultural lands that may now be withdrawn will eventually be restored to entry, but forested areas and tracts that are necessary to the conservation of the water supply, so Important to the rec lamation of the arid tracts, win be pro tected and preserved. . Owe Thanks to Moody. During his two terms In Congress Repre sentative Moody has been ever mindful of the Interests of Eastern Oregon. Be fore his time that part of the state re ceived little recognition. The Geological Survey looked upon It as a dead. area, and gave It no serious consideration in alloting funds for field work. Now that has all changed, and Eastern Oregon has become a very Important factor .and Is ac corded a great deal of recognition.

This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the time of their most critical trial.

In all this glorification of the Lewis and Clark expedition, it may be said that a woman led the way. And now come the women of the West to emphasize this fact and give recognition to this noble woman. A Sacajawea Statue Association has been formed, the object of which is to erect a statue significant of her services. The central Idea would be an Indian woman, with a papoose on her back, pointing westward. A well-known firm In the East is procuring estimates and designs which will soon be submitted. Lee Moorhouse. of Pendleton, whose Indian photographs are famous throughout the United States, is much Interested, and. has already submitted some beautiful Indian I pictures. Literature on the subject and suggestions are being received from- all over the country since It has become known that the effort to raise a statue to Sacajawea has begun. Systematic work Is to bo commenced as soon as some esti mates of the cost are obtained, and while the plans are not fully developed at pres ent. It Is Intended to appoint some prom inent woman In each town to take charge of raising the amount of money appor tioned to that locality. A vice-president will be appointed in each of the four other states through which the expedition passed, and they will be asked to raise a proportion of the money, though, of course, the greater part must come from Oregon, where the statue win be erected If the association Is successful.

HELVETIA MTT.K CONDENSING CO. Highland, TTHnni.i Feet BadlySwollen, Could Scarcely Walli. Smoked to Excess Heart Affected. Dr.Miles'Heart Cure and Nervine Cured Me. "I send you my testimonial hoping it will influence someone to nse tout remedies for the relief and care of the diseases for which they are recommended. I am constantly recommending them in this locality often indirectly to strangers. The worst case of nervous prostration I ever saw or rather heard of was that of a young man, a stranger who sent me word thanking me for the in 'formation and statin? that to his certain knowledge. Dr. Miles' Nervine and Heart Cure had saved his life. As to my own. case I was afflicted with heart trouble and nerv ousness due to the excessive use of tobacco which I had used from boyhood. A man whom your medicine had cured of tobacco heart met me on the street in Bakersfield one day when my feet were so badly swollen I could scarcely walk and I was suffering con stantly from smothering spells, chokin? sen sation, pain and oppression around the heart. He told me to use Dr. Miles' Heart Cure and Nervine. I bought three bottles of each and when they were gone the aggravating symptoms had disappeared, but to make a sure thing of it I bought two more bottles of Nervine and am today perfectly well. I have usedthe Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills and consider all of Dr. Miles' medicines the very best of household remedies and wish that every sufferer might learn of their value." J. M.
