' Ex-Governor West, of Oregon, was
on the lloor during the larger part of
the morning, making- an argument for
the Federal Administration's water
power bill and answering questions put
to him by the Governors. Mr. West
told how the State of Oregon, having
received 35,000,000,000 feet of timber
from the Federal Government for
school purposes, sold It in haste for 10
cents a thousand, the timber being now
worth $3.50 a thousand. He said the
Legislature gave all the tldelands of
tne three ocean harbors in Benton
County to a railroad without a penny
of compensation. Oregon had received
4.000.000 acres of school land from the
Federal Government, of which all has
been sold except 500,000 acres of scab
land. The state has $5,000,000 or
$6,000,000 in its school fund from the
rales, whereby Washington, by better
management, will get $75,000,000 from
her school grant.
I am willing to take my part In
unlocking the resources of the West,
but would throw all the safeguards
possible about them," said. Mr. West.
Governor Dccrtea Apathy.
Governor Boyle, of Nevada, declared
the states were clamoring for the
privilege of giving away their re
sources. The states were absolutely
apathetic In the protection of their
property.
"There is not must use of unlocking
resources when someone is waiting to
pack them out of the window," he said.
Governor Carlson, of Colorado, read
a paper favoring; state control of water
power.

HOW SOLDIERS LIVE: AND FIGHT
1 THE TRESCHES.
London, May 20. When it rains
the trenches are half filled with water.
The cold is always of the damp, pene
trating, dreadful kind that chills to the
very marrow. Hot food is served three
times a day to the men in the trenches
by other soldiers, who scurry like rab
bits through long uncovered tunnels
running back from the works conceal
ing tQe guns.
These men in the trenches must have
good food in order that they can Rave
good blood, and if they have good blood,
they have good courage, they keep
warm because their circulation Is good
and their extremities are warm from
exercise. Many men are invalided,
however, because their blood and their
stomach were not right to withstand
the awful hardships of this winter
campaign.
When you do not properly digest your
food your blood becomes thin and every
organ of the body soon feels the effect.
The result is headaches, sleeplessness,
nervousness and many other symp
toms due to accumulation of poisons
In the body. Unless the stomach is
given aid at this stage more serious
illnesses follow. Now is the time to
help your weakened stomach now is
the time to take Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery (In tablet or liquid
form). It has the same power to set
you right as It has been proved to have
in thousands of other cases. It will
help your stomach so that the food you
eat will nourish and sustain you and

able you to get rid of the waste a slug
gish liver and irregular bowels have

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is composed of known native healing
remedial roots and herbs with no alco
hol nor narcotic drugs to give you
harmful habits. It can now be obtained
in tablet or liquid form from dealers,
