fessors who will compose the faculty
Is ss great as In any Institution west Of
' the Mississippi. The proof Ilea In the'
fact that graduate of the university
have received Instructions in all the
leading Institutions of the northwest,
and In the east besides.
The students arrived yesterday and
Sunday by hundreds. While registra

house built by a citizen or Eugene ana
leased by the sorority and which will be
occupied soon. The flnlshln- touches
are now being put on the building.
The cumpusi also, has been improved
wonderfully, though the full develop
ment of the plans thnt are being worked
out is held back by the recent supreme
court decision.
There Is evident sn enormous lot of
spirit this year, the old students want
ing to do everything possible to help
old Oregon through the referendum
crisis. The faculty have taken for their
motto the simple phrHse, "Hard Work,"
and Intend to make the year the best the
'varsity has ever i.a1. for results.
There have been additions to the fac
ulty, too, the school of music being
especially strong. The outlook for the
sttendance In It Is tetter than ever be
fore nnd Dean I. M. Olen expects to
make It very successful.
The Engineering' Department.
The good results recently obtained by
university engineers ha built up the
reputation of the engineering depart
ments, and apparently there will t a
reat Increase In Its attendance. Stu
ents who have not yet graduated, ob
tain employment inder the government
as the heads or geoaeuc surveys, as
government contractors, and In many
other important positions. In fact, aft

Junior, he Is frequently tempted Dy nat

There Is a form of anaemia, or blood
lessness, that often afflicts growing
girls, that haa been called the anaemia
of development. It requires care and
proper attention as neglect may cause
a lira of unhappiness .ana surrering.
There Is also danger of consumption,
especially If a dry. hacking cough la
noticed. The disease Is In the blood
ani Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are par
ticularly well adapted to cure it We
have yet to hear of a case In which
these blood-making pills have been tried
without success.
Miss Esther E. Durbln of 21! H Main
street, Davenport, Iowa, says:
"When I was a school girl I became
afflicted with anaemia and grew so
waak that I could soarcaly walk. .There
was a craving for rtarch and I ate a
great deal of It. I was pale and thin,
had no ambition and was subject to
hysterical attacks. My breath was so
short that I would have to sit down and
rest on the way up the school steps. X

efforts to Keep awake ana

would Jump out of my body. Almost
everything I ate hurt my stomach and I
had a bladder trouble that caused me to
bloat hd puff up. I had two doctors
during the two years before I began
using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and at
last they told my mother that they
could do nothing for me.
"Our druggist recommended Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills and when I had taken
them about three weeks I noticed a
change for the better. Altogether I
used them for about a year and they
gave me new Jlfe and health when
every other means had failed. I have
recommended the pills to many others
and sm always glad to do so."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on re

boxes for $2.60. by the Dr. Williams

The great influx of students may be
Judged when It Is considered that al
ready difficulty la being found to sup
ply quarters for the new students. Great
effort's have been made to meet the
emergency, and In two or thryi days It
Is likely the situstlon will be relieved.
The students are coming from all over
the state In a more general fashion than
ever before. Eastern Oregon adds a
large quota. .
Xdnnury Building.
One of the chief additions to the uni
versity this year 1s the $40,000 library
building. It is well arranged and will
provide many needed classrooms as well
as departments for the Library proper.
Other buildings which are a source, of
pride to air lovers of the University of
Oregon are the girls' club building, the
first of a number of small dormitories
to be erected on the campus, costing

Roseburg, Or., Bept. 24.-It Is the In
tention of the Roseburg. school board
to add a commercial course to the pub

possible for students to fit themselves
for any kind of work In the business
line that they see fit to take up. To
this end the board will hold a meeting
this week and decide whether the new
course shall be added at once or at the
beginning of the next school year. Now
It Is necessary for students to go to an
other town to take a business course,
thus making It Impossible for many.
This course If added will be the same

One of the Important Duties of Physicians
and the-Well-Inf ormed of the World
fa to Xtexn as Vto the ..relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of 'medicinal, agents, as the most errrment physicians are the most careful as to
the uniforJta v quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
Known toj'jliysician and the Well-informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of Jts correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company hat become ' guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
-V -" TOLJTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the elUlnformed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, wjth its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
tq that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the, California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
$vruD of Fijra and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as ita pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the WeU-intormea or tne woria to oe tne Desx 01 naiurai
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna astnore fully descriptive of .the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Sjrrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of. the Company California Fig Syrup Co.-r-plainly
printed on the front of every package, whether ybu simply call for Syrup of
Figs or Qy the,full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the, same heretofore "known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given sat
isfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the
United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty;
cents per bottle.;, . , u .
Every bcltle is sold tinder the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of vAriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated
or misbranded within the meaning of . the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

HEAVY PRODUCTION
BY DRYLAND FARMING
Wheat Crops on Bench Land
of Montana Enormous
Thought Worthless.
(United Preu Lcmd Wire.)
Helena, Mont., Sept. 24. It remained
for Iowa and Oklahoma farmers to
show the way as regards wheat raising
In Montana with the result that land
which five years ago was considered
worthless except for grazing. today
commands from 12(1 to $26, and Is yeld
lng from 40 to 60 bushels of wheat an
acre. The wheat is graded as No. 1
hard northern, and is bringing from 85
to 7 cents a bushel.
These lands are what are known as
"bench," that Is. they are neither In
the valleys nor on the mountains. Too
high for irrigation, they had been used
for grazing purposes, when Oklahoma
and Iowa formers, emigrating to thl
state, set the example In Gallatin
county, and It has quickly spread to
Fergus, Madison, Chouteau and other
counties. The process Is known ss dry
land farming becauseof the fact that
no water Is availed of save the natural
rainfall. Madison county which three
vears ago raised no dryland wheat
thia year produced 40,000 bushels, whlta
Fergus and Gallatin will raise several
hundred thousand bushels each. The
freight rate to Minneapolis will permit
of a net price of from 80 to 85 cents
to the farmer. One Gallatin county
farmer raised 4.000 bushels on 80 acres
this year, and he declares that with Im
proved and more scientific methods in
vogue in this state, that record Will ba
eclipsed easily.
Rye Is also raised In this method, and
an excellent livestock feed thus fur
nished. One of the features of the
state fair, which begins In Helena on
September 30, will be the division of
dryland farming, and It promises to be
one of the features of the exposition.
Five years ago the announcement that
crops could have been raised without ir
rigation except In the valleys would
have been ridiculed, yet from present
appearances, the dryland crops are go
ing to give the Irrigated product a very
close race for supremacy In the near
future.
VAST IMPROVEMENT
IN KELSO SCHOOLS
(Bpaclsl Dispatch to Ths Joorntl.)
Kelso, Wash.. Sept. 24. The Kelso
public schools have now settled down
in regular work with a heavy enroll
ment, 296 being In the grades and the
high school. The new 1 10,000 addition
to the Washington building has relieved
tne congestion of last year and now
all the grades with the exception of
the first primary are In the one build
ing. An assistant has been added In
the jilgh school and through the efforts
of superintendent Suits a $200 labora
tory fund was raised and Kelrfbinow
has the best equipped laboratory in
the county. The teaching force for
this year Is composed of Misses Jenkins,
Seeley, Daubney, Ambrose, Vail, Win
