River, the Toijchet, Mill Creek. Dry
Creek and numerous other streams are
flooding the lowlands, driving residents
along DanKs irom tneir dwellings, carry

buildings and making roads impassable.
Frequent showers have prevailed since
Pebruary 15, while the same conditions
in the Blue Mountains made the show un

FOOD PLANT FOR LA GRANDE.
Battle Creek Concern Would Move to
Base of Supply.
LA GRANDE, JOr., March S. (Special.)
Prospects for a breakfast food plant in La
Grande are very Battering, according to
reports brought In by A. H. Candland, im
migration agent "for-the Eastern Oregon
Colonizing Company, -who arrived from
Illinois yesterday with a large party of
homeseekers for this section of the coun
try. J. W. Cassidy, the founder of a plant at
Battle Creek, Mich., will arrive in La
Grande early in April to look over the
Held. This breakfast food Is made from
Oregon wheat, which is shipped to that
country, and the company Is determined
to put up a plant somewhere in the West
to avoid the extra cost of shipping. La
Grande can have the plant by encourag
ing the matter.
A plant here would cost 5200.OM. and
would give steady employment to 150 peo
ple. Many of the Grand Ronde Valley
people would be required no' doubt to take
stock, in. the conoern, .and It wuldbea
paying Investment, and it has" beeHYtated J
'that if -the conditloijB look -Very -favorable
to the representatives- they will establish
an Independent plant.
The grain from here costs the people
J1.10 laid 'down In Michigan, -when -with a
plant here It would cost them" little 'more
than half that amount. The people here
will offer Inducements to the representa
tlves and It la very likely that the mat
ter will go through.
Mr. Candland says that the homeseekers
are going to flock Into the "West this
Spring, and all parts' of Oregon are being

MOTHER MADE BOY CONFESS!
Three Brothers, Under 19, Burglar
ized a Tekoa Store.'
COLFAX, Wash., March 8. (Special.)
William James, aged IS years, is in the
county Jail with a charge of burglary
booked against him and an excellent
chance of a term in the penitentiary con
fronting him. The youth -was brought to
town by his mother, Mrs. James Breen,
and given into the custody of the officers
and the mother urged him ta till the
truth.
Ho confessed to assisting hi3 two young
er brothers and Frank Johnson to burg
larize the store of Mrs. McDonald, a
widow at Tekoa. The four alleged burg
lars are in the Jail. The three James boys
are aged respectively 18, 15 and 13 years.
The two youngest will probably be sent
to the Reform School, but the oldest boy Is
too old to go to that lnstlution, and there
seems no way of avoiding sending him to
the penitentiary.
The two youngest James boys wero ar
rested at Spokane with Frank Johnson, a
young- man. who gave his age as 17 years,
but appears to be at least 22, and is
known to have filled the position of fire
man on the O. R. & N. Co.'s switch en
gine In Spokane. Johnson Is believed to
have been tho leader in the raid on the
store In which a number of articles were
stolen. The youngest James boys gave the
officers a clew by which much of the
stolen property was recovered. The burg
lary occurred some time ago. After the
arrest of her two youngest sons Mrs.
Breen, mother of the James boys, believ
ing that William, her oldest, had been
Implicated in the burglary, secured a team
and drove Into the country where he has
recently been employed, and secured a
confession from him. Taking her son in
the buggy with, her she- took him to Tekoa,
where she turned him over to Constable
Alexander, who brought him to Colfax to
day. The mother of the James boys is the
wife of James Breen, who served a term
of 30 days in the county Jail here for
beating his wife last Fall. Constable Alex
ander, of Tekoa, says that Breen is now
serving a. like sentence in Spokane for
the same offense. Mr. James, father of
the boys, is dead. Nothing is known of
the parents or past history of "Frank
Johnson.

GOES T8 MARSTERS
Swamp. Land . on-West Side
Upper Klamath Lake;
PRICE, MADE IS $1 PER, ACRE
Disadvantage of Divided 'Ownership
of the Great Tract of Wet Land
Lying in Southern
Oregon.
SALEM, Or., March 8. (Special.) The
associates of State Senator A. C. Marsters
were the only bidders for the 3320 acrc3
of swamp land sold by the State Land
Board today. sTho other applicants for
the land, supposed to be associated with
Jessie Carr-Seale, made no further effort
to secure the land. The board ordered
that the land be sold to the Marsters
people, at the price offered, $1 per acre.
The land sold is a tract lyjng on the
west side of Upper Klamath Lake. It Is
directly north of a tract of 4500 acres re
cently sold to Marsters and associates and
south of the tract sold to the Jessie Carr
Seale people. The failure of the Seale
people to make a bid today was due to
their not securing the other land which
Is necessary to the reclamation of the
whole tract. The sale of the land today
finishes the transfer of a great tule marsh,
which. If reclaimed, will add much to the
area of good hay or pasture land In
Klamath County.
Several months ago a number of per
sons, most of whom were evidently acting
together, applied for the purchase of 11,000
acres of surveyed swamp land west of
Upper Klamath Lake. The land, lying In
a comnact area, was sold at the usual
price of $1 per acre, the purchasers being
Jessie Carr-Seale apd others. Soon after
application was filed for the purchase of
8000 acres of unsurveyed swamp land lying
south of that purchased by the Seale
people, the applicants being Senator
Marsters and others. The Seale people
subsequently filed applications for part
of the same land and a contfflt was com
menced before the State Land Board.
As the land was unsurveyed, and there
was some question as to. the legality of
one of the filings, the board ordered that
so much of the land as was under contest
should be sold to the highest bidder,
while that for which there was no contest
was sold tZ the Marsters people.
The greatest interest of the purchasers
of the 11,000-acre tract seemed to be in
the control of the land through which
they must build canals If they should
drain the marsh. The 8000 acres, or most
of it. lay along the channels through
which water could be most easily con
veyed from the ll.OCO-ocre tract. The Seale
people were therefore very anxious to ac
quire the lower tract, but having failed as
to a portion of It. decided not to purchase
any.
Men who have Investigated the 'matter
are in doubt whether a considerable por
tion of- the marsh can be drained. The
plan of .the Seale people Is to put a large
steam dredge at work excavating canals,
and building dykes of the material taken
from the canals; The point In doubt Is
whether' canals and dykes thus construct
ed will keep the water off the land to such
an extent as to make It valuable either
for pasturage or production of hay. As
tho matter now stands, the Seale people
have 11,000 acres of marsh land which
they can drain Into what Is known as
Agency Lake, but which could be better
drained through the 8000 .acres lying
further south. Thn Marsters people own
the 8000 acres, which is said to be not quite"
so good as "the Seale tract, because lower
and more under wter. The Marsters
tract Is favorably situated for drainage,
however, provided canais and dykes can
be successfully constructed- through the
marsh.
It is evident that the entire project
could be better managed if it were under
the control of one association of persons,
for the land is more naturally drained
from the 11,000-acre tract across the 8000
acre tract. There Is now a separate
ownership, however, and unless the two
Interests can be brought together In. some
way, two Independent drainage systems
will be undertaken.

'I have always been a great worKer
with many cares and often in the morn

tasks. So l would drink a good stiff cup
of coffee of which I was very fond and
then for two or three hours afterwards I
would feel so' smart and buoyant and
keyed up to such a high note feat I
could undertake most . anything. But
along about 11 o'clock tha reaction would
begin and leave' me stranded on a lounge
until dinner time. Then I would get a
cup of tea to tide me over the afternoon.
So it went on for a number of years and
the great wonder is that I did not collapse
altogether. I must nave had a good con

A MOTHER'S DREAP.
Lo I At the couch where infant beauty sleeps ;
Her silent watch the mournful mother keeps ;
She, Trhile the lovely babe unconscious lies,
Smiles on her slumbering child with pensive
eyes.
A fear clutches at the heart of the
mother that her own little one may not
live lone. She dreads its second sum
mer, or that it may never wake from its.
sound, sleep. All mankind loves a
mother loves to see a mother love-her
child. A babjr and its mother are in
sured against ill-health if the mother
takes Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,
a tonic for women that Dr. R. V.
Pierce invented over a third of a cen
tury ago for women's ills. This is a
vegetable tonic, made only of barks,
roots and herbs, which puts the female
system into perfect, healthy action. Be
fore baby's coming it is jnst the uterine
tonic that puts the womanly system into
a proper condition to make the birth
painless and to insure a healthy child.
Many mothers of families in the United.
.States have reason to be grateful to the
person who recommended Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. It does not cure
eczema, catarrh in all its forms, nor
heart disease, for it is put up for the
single purpose of curing- disease pecu
liar to women. It has a reputation of
over thirty-eight years of cures, and has
sold more largely on this continent than
any other medicine for women. Another
point in its favor : it does not contain a
single drop of alcohol nor of any nar
cotic It is purely vegetable. An alco
holic compound for women is something
no woman should take. Womanly
weakness will always bring on nervous
irritability and alconol is the very worst
thing in the world for her to take in this
nervous condition. What the woman
needs is a vegetable tonic which will
build up her delicate system and bring
about a healthy tone. This Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription does, as no other
remedy 'can. It cures the . drains and
weaknesses of women", and" the manufac-v
turers offerto pay $500 in legal money of
the United States, for .any case of Leu
corrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which they cannot
cure. All they ask is a fair and reasona
ble trial of their means of cure.
Many people owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
Dr. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos
sible information about their condition,
symptoms, etc., and received in return
good medical advice which cost them
nothing. This is whv we advise you to
write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, the founder
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, at Buffalo, N. Y.
Dr. Pierce by no means confines him
self to prescribing his well-known medi
cines. He tells yon in the most common-sense
way what ails you, what you
ought to do, what line ofs treatment
should be followed out in your particular
case, and if your case does not indicate
the . use of his proprietary medicine,
he tells you plainly and frankly what
you do need,' and. the best possible

A beautiful Georgia Girl. Vice-President
of the East End Palmetto Club, of
Savannah, and pivminer.t socially there,
relates the following experience:
You certainly have produced the finest
medicine for suffering women that there
is to be had in the country. I want to
recommend it especially to mothers. I
was seventeen years old when my dar
ling boy was born. Felt very exhausted
and weak for a long time, and it seemed
I could not get my strength back. My
sister-in-law bought me a bottle of Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription (after I
had tried several of the other remedies
which are so much advertised, and found
no relief). I had little faith in the med
icine at the time and was so weak and
sick that I felt discouraged, but within a
week after I had commenced taking
your "Prescription" I was like a differ
ent woman. New life and vitality
seemed to come with each succeeding
day, until, in a few weeks, I was in fine
health, and a happy, hearty woman.
My boy is now two years old and,
thanks to your splendid medicine, I am
enjoying perfect health. If at any time
I feel tired or in need of a tonic, a few
doses of your "Favorite Prescription"
recuperates me at once. My address is
511 Jones Street, East, Savannah, Ga.

Mrs. Mamie Patterson, of 42 Hedden
PlacevEiizabeth, N. J., says : -"About one
year ago I wrote to Dr. Pierce and he ad
vised me'-whatto So. Jt is hard. forme
to say" just -what aiy trouble 'was: "Was
nervous; had sick headaches, backache,
pain in small of back, had no appetite,
pain in my left side. I was a complete
wreck. I had tried many doctors, and
did not get well, so had given up the
thought of ever getting better. . I have
taken eight bottles of Favorite Prescrip
tion,' and fc-day feel like a new woman.
Have advised several of my friends to
use Dr. Pierce's medicines and they have
done so and received much benefit. I
am thankfuLto you for your advice', and
also for what' your wonderful medicines
have done for me. May the blessing of
God rest upon you. I gladly send -you
this testimonial."
