ing lands on the Upper Deschutes River
In Eastern Oregon, which it proposes to
reclaim under the Carey act. On this map,
the company haa eliminated nearly 15,000
acres that were included in the original

of the report of Special Agent Green, that
much of the original selection was land
covered with merchantable timber.

its diameter by proof. "When this in

SMALLPOX IX LAKE.
Record of Energetic Efforts Put
Forth by Authorities.
L.AKEVIEW. Or., May IS.' (To tho Ed
itor.) In reply to your editorial com
ment of the' 15th inst., referring to the
smallpox quarantine maintained by Lake
County against Crook, wherein you state
that it Is doubtful whether, the shotgun
method Is either wise or effectual, I beg
to inform you that Lake County has had
no occasion to use a shotgun to enforce
and make effective the quarantine in
question.
The measures employed conform with
the state law on that subject, and were
deemed necessary because the quarantine
regulations of Crook County proved in
effectual, as the following telegram, sent
by me, to the State Health Officer some
two weeks ago, will attest:
"Lakeview, Or., May 4. State Health
Officer, Portland, Or.: One case of malig
nant smallpox at Silver Lake. Ineffect
ual methods of Crook to control disease
Is a serious menace to the health of en
tire state. Strongly urge you to go to
crooK to establish and maintain strict
quarantine of all cases and exposures, if
not. Lake -will be compelled to disregard
your former advice and establish quaran
tine to prevent all ingress from Infected
district."
The foregoing case of smallpox came
from Crook County to Silver Lake and
subsequently died of that disease.
As soon as this case of smallpox was
discovered, the county authorities ordered
the patient quarantined; caused all par
sons exposed to tho disease to be isolated
and separately detained in quarantine;
And directed an effectual vaccination of
all residents of the menaced districts.
As a result of these measures It is hard
ly possible for tho disease to spread be
yond those in detention, and as the period
of infection- has almost expired, without
any symptoms of the disease having de
veloped, it is very probable that those
exposed will escape, so that In a few days
more all restrictions will be removed
from those how held In quarantine in
X.ake County. b. DALY
County Judge.

The healthy
woman need not
fear the change
which comes as the
beginning of life's
autumn. It is the
woman who is worn
ont, run down and
a sufferer from
-womanly diseases
who naturally
dreads the change
of life. This is the
critical period ol
woman's life, and
the prevalence of
womanly diseases
makes it the duty
of every woman
who would, avoid
unnecessary suffer
ing to take especial
care of herself at this time.
The ills -which vex so many -women at
the change of life are entirely avoided
or cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescription. It makes -weak
women strong, and enables the weakest
to pass through this trying change with
the tranquility of perfect health.

time has been very hard -with me," writes Mrs.

Hemmis told me to try Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription and 'Golden Medical Discovery.

tach from the drug store "and I used them.
They did me a great deal of good, and I got two
more bottles of1 Favorite Prescription. I never
saw such a wonderful cure. Before I com
