Feb. 6 -.Special.) Making no specific recom mendation but outlining th various sites In and around Pendleton which he deems available, as well as asserting that there are building sites on th Oil- ver-Carpntr tract, purchased by Bow ermsn fjr the Eastern Oregon Branch Asylum. Stat Engineer Lewis has sub mittrd his report to th eommltte of doctors selected by Governor West 10 examine Into the feasibh.ty of that as a location for the new buildings. In a letter accompanying tha report Mr. Lewis, however, does recommend that th Roberts tract of 64 acres should be purchnsed. In any event, to round out the state's holdings and to protect tha merest of tha elate In the possible de velopment of water power. He say In the same letter that he la not well informed on th possible devel opment of the Institution and technical subjects pertaining to the asylum ora and leavea this festure for the physi cians' committee. This committee In clude Dr. J. C. Calbreath. Dr. W. T. Williamson, Dr. Harry Lane and Dr. Andrew C. Smith. Th report of St-it Engineer Lewla is: bile la flood Danger. Tha state. I am informed, now osrns K14 acres of land sbout one mile west of Pen dleton. Or., upon whluh. or In the vicinity of which. It 1 proposed to erect a Hos pital r.r the insane, to acroniinonaie . the outsat about oo patients. This laud was purchased from two different owners. The Oliver tract or acres is iwrr arssly bottom landa. bnumled by the Vma- Itlvar on the south ana tne oiuns on he north and along which runs the U.-W. K. .V Co. Kallroad. The bottom land only a few feet above low water, and at high water Is subject to overflow In places. tianger from tills source can be aioiueu oj bullulug a dike along the east line of the t. several Dulliiiiigs are locaiea on iu highest points of the bottom lamia About So acres have been Irrigated by a dlt-b hlrh crosses the Utopian Ganlena to ths Iver. These gsrden tracts, about 40 acres In eitenl. are not owned by the stnte. As ail the losr water flow of the t matilla River Is enllrely consumed, water for the Irrlga- inn of bottom laniis not heretofore Irri gated can only be secured during the Spring nootla unless atoraxe la suppileu. neaer lolrs fur this purpose can be constructed In th mountatna This will probably be necessary In any event, as lurga quantitlr of water will be neeesaary for lawna and general Irrigation around the building aite. If located on high ground. Tlite method would probably be cheaper than using city water If such supply Is found to be ade quate. The outlet for the Pendleton sewer sys tem enters the river Just above tills tract. The Pendleton authorities say that thsy expect to extend this sewer to a point be low the tract. X am not awara of any ex ecuted agreement to thla elTct. During th low water flows the two power plants at Pendleton are In tha habit of storing all the stream for part of the day. to sveura sufficient water for the balance of such day. Sewer Extension Required. This condition would compel the state to extend the city sewer about one mil farther down stream. If ths city authorities failed to flo so. Ths only high ground on this trsct avail able for a builulug site Is north of the railroad, and thla is of restricted area be cause of a ravine which .crosses the . most desirable spot. This cove widens to tha east, and If tha Huberts tract of 64 acres was owned by the slate It would give a building site about lui'0 feet lung snd 200 feet In depth, with 100 feet or less for lawn purposes. The ground rises sbout 2i feet In loo feet distance, and four test ! pita show loos lava rock within I Vs. 7. 1 and Z feet respectively, below the surface, with Indications of solid rock close below. The f'arpenter tract of 110 acres Is hill Iriml. the west hnlf of which Is crossed by a ravine. A builU.ng site about 5uoxtu0 feet dimensions Is found on the east haif of this tract. Ite feet above the present county roa1. and ls! feet above the river. If a building or such dimensions were con structs.! It would occuoy about all the available level land. The average ships In front of such building would be about 14 feet per I'lO, In the road about 1000 feet dlsfsnl. On either side the ground slope would be li'Ss. probably I to 10 per cent. THar-to of this building site the ground rises fradually. asd would furnish an adequate cation for a water tank, which will give th necessary pressure for dmnesMe and hre- protectlon purpose. The base of such build ing win oe reel neiow tne bottom or the preeent city reservoir. This head, without allowance for friction losse. would glv about JO pounds per square Inch preaaure. Aa about SO pounds p.-essur la necestary, ths present city supplv could not be utilised without pumping. This sunnlv Is Inade quate for present demands of ths city, and If the proposed mrfuntAln water supply Is not Installed. It will probably be necessary for the state to sink a bored well In the bottom lands snd pump from the under ground water stratum from which the city now auppiieo. The proposed building alts on the Car penter trs.-i can be reached by a wagon road having approximately 71 por cent grade, or about per cent grade If stsrted on th Roberts tract, not now owned bv tit atate. It can be reached by a railway spur 45HO feel long, having a maximum grade of 11 per cent with 10-degree curves. Te construct this will require spproximate. ly 710S cubic yards of solid rock excava tion. 1100 cublo yarrie of earth excavation and the construction of a ft-S-foot timber trestle ef 10 feet maximum height. High Grade Is Hindrance. It Is extremely doubtful If the railway company can be prevailed upon to operate au-h spur svea If constructed by the state, because of Its steep grade. To conatruct a spur of lea grade will be longer and more expensive. Right of way will have to be purchased or condemned if ouch spur Is constructed.

This, ia a condition that may be follow ed by serious consequences unless cor rected. To cure ft the failing- nutrition must be arrested, the patient's weight and strength built np and the blood re stored to Its normal condition. The one remedy that has cured this condition, strengthened the digestion, toned tip the nerves and made the blood pure ana rich is that described by Mrs. k. P. Taylor, of Oakland, Kana. She ays: ''I am glad to recommend Dr. Wil liams' Fink Pills to weak and nervous women, because they build and tone up the whole system and give lasting bene fit. Some years ago I had nervous de bility and seemed to be on the verge of a collapse. I was all broken down. My h"art beat so fast at times that it would frighten me. I had smothering sensations and felt as though I was go ing to faint. These spells came on me frequently. My stomach was affected. I end not enjoy my meals but had to force the food down. I often had severe nervous headaches which made me dizzy. I was greatly reduced in weight. "The doctor pronounced rny trouble weakness and nervons debility, lie would help me for a while and I would think I waa getting better but aa soon aa I quit taking his medicine I would become as bad as ever. I had been sick for over two years before I decid ed to try Dr. Williama' Pink Pills. A few boxes proved to me that the pills were helping me and I used them until entirely cured. I occasionally take the pills now as a tonic and always find im mediate relief." Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggisus or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 60 cents per box ; fix boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. , Schenectady, K. Y. If you are interested write today for a cony of the new edition of our book on "Nervous Disorders" and our pamph let "flain Talks to Women." which a building 1"0 feet In length could be built, with suitable wings to fit ths contour of ths ground. CosUy Road Entailed. Ths Daniels nlaoe of 1:0 acres loins th Wheeler place to the south and Is optioned st 1.73 sn sera. The bottom lnnd Is badly cut up by the river and railroad, snd only partly Improved. About so acres is lo cated on a bench south of the river, snd would probably afford a suitable building site. An expensive wagon road bridge and railway bridge would have to be con structed. If such site were selected. The SO acrea of bench land adjoining the Wheeler place should bs purchased In this tract If selected as the building site. The county road which divides these two trncts can be charged to follow the old railway grade st the foot of the bluff, thus making avail able a tract of about 1000 acres of uni formly sloping land. A 2400-foot spur on 2.33 per cent grade will reach the building site. Much of this will be expensive rock work. A profile of the line Is not available. Assuming the loO-fool contour to be the base of the proposed site. It would be 127 fiet below the bottom of the city reservoir. This would without friction lossos give only n.i pounds pressure and correspondingly less at the top of the building. Some addi tional pamplng will therefore be necessary st this site. If city water Is used the added expense In constructing a ten-inch castlron pipe from the Carpenter to the Wheeler site will amount to 1 16.000 or J 3200 for a six-Inch pipe. It seems to me that the Wheeler tract at inn an acre, even If not used as a build ing site, would be a good purchase. If addi tional farm lands are needed, as about 100 seres can be reached with less than 250 foot lift, pumping from the river. This lnnd when Irrtcated would be more valu able than the bottom Inmla and f roe from destructive floods. If used as a building site large areas will be svallshle for lawns. hrubnery and for exercise grounds for the patients. The Oliver tract while discon nected can be reached by the county mad. about as conveniently as from ths building site on the Csrpenter tract. A building on the Wheeler tract would he InoMed at s bend In the rleer. affording a good view of Pendleton and of the valley looking down stream.

Those who have used the bath have been completely carried away with enthusiasm because of the astonishing results obtained.
