The Dalles.
The repairs have all been made to
the Mountain Gem and she Is now
in commission on the Columbia rlvor
once more operating In connection
with the portage road, making two
trips a week between 'Wallula and
Celllo and is doing an excellent busi
ness. As soon as the stage of water will
permit the steamer will he placed on
a regular run between Lewlston and
Celllo and will make at least one or
two trips weekly.
During the high water a cargo of
150 tons can be carried and she will
be able to deliver freight from Celllo
to Iwiston at a cost, of !5 per cent
less than the rate now being charged
by the railroad company.
Since the Mountain Gem has been
In operation on the Columbia river
It has been demonstrated that a large
field of boat traffic has been opened
up by the completion of the portage
road and the association has decided
to build another boat which will be
placed in operation as soon as possi
ble. The plant and specifications for the
same have been drawn and the nm.
tract for Its construction will be let
wunin tne next two weeks.
The boat will be 185 feet in length
and SS feet in width nnrt win v.
equipped with a powerful oll-burnmg

days will be required to build the

EXOHMOIS DEMAND FOR STEEL
Demand on American Mills Is Unpre
cedented.
Pittsburg, Pa.. Feb. 21. The de
mand for raw material used In the
manufacture of steel Is so great that
all records In lmoorts of imn
were eclipsed last month, when nearly
"'u tons arrived In New Tork
and other eastern norts.
While more than one-half of the
Jamiary Imports of ore came from
Cuban mines, controlled by the Penn
sylvania Steel company, the material
was largely Imnorted on Pltt.H..r
district account. The call for ore by
mills located In the Interior is so urg
ent that considerable Imports are be
ing made from Persia, Spain and
Greece. The first cargo of iron ore
ever brought Into the United States
for a Persian gulf port came from
Bussorah.
Manganese ore, chrome ore, iron
pyrites, miscellaneous iron and steel
material and pig Iron, as well as iron
ore, were Imported last month, mak
ing the total Imports 140,624 tons.
From Cuba came 60,540 tons of iron
Ore. From Spain 33,306 tons of ore
were shipped, From Greece 14,750
tons were Imnortirl. Of mafi?nnese
ore 10.400 of the 10,445 tons Import-,
eel came from Bombay. India. The
chrome ore, 2410 tons, j.4me from
New Caledonia. From Europe last
VtiiSnth rAme 4175 tons nf BtriipturAl
steel and other finlsheu material.
Antwerp sent 142a tons of the struc
tural steel. From Plllev'a Inland In.
cated off Newfoundland, 2619 tons of
iron pyrites were shipped here. The
pig Iron Imports aggregated 15,049
tons, and came chiefly from Eng
land.
PREPARING FOR CONVENTION.
Kansas Heimhllrang Huve Live Issues
on Hiinil.
Topekn. Kas., Feb. 21. The repub
lican state committee will hold a
meeting this afternoon to select the
place and time for the holding of the
state convention. Chairman W. R.
Stubbs and the other members of the
committee arrived here this morning
and during the morning a number of
Informal conferences were held. . The
basis of representation will also be
agreed on at the meeting this after
noon. It is barely possible that the ques
tion of adopting the primary system
for making nominations will be dis
cussed. Chairman Stubbs is in favor of a
direct vote of the people but. whether
a plan can be decided on under exist
ing conditions Is extremely doubtful.
States that have the primary system
work under a state law. A primary
election bill was Introduced In the
last session of the Kansas legislature,
but was defeated. The politicians
could not agree on a plan. It may be
brought up In the next session, how
ever, and will probably continue to do
so, until such a law Is finally passed.
TELEPHONES FOR DEFENCES.
Xow Regarded as Essential to Post
Equipment,
New York, Feb. 21. All the army
posts tn the vicinity of New York will,
within the next three months, be
equipped with modern telephone sys
tems, with a central station at each
post. This work will be conducted
under the officers of the army signal
corps, who have been recently pur
chasing large quantities of telephone
material, Including some 200 instru
ments. These will be distributed to
the various posts under a decision of
the war department prescribing a
SERVICE
telephonic outfit for all military sta
tions. Hitherto such conveniences have
been merely permitted; hereafter they
are to be regarded as a part of the
necessary equipment of the garrison.
They are found to be necessary in the
transmission of official business, and
It will be a part of the work of the
signal corps to keep these systems lit
repair and extend them whenever
necessary.
A WELL OF HOT AIR.
Search for Water Discovered a Hiss
ing Air Current.
Madras has a peculiar kind of well,
says the Madras Pioneer. Instead of
spouting out water, as might be ex
pected of any respectable well, this
well is sending forth a current of hot
air. not the kind use in slangy speech,
either, but real heated atmosphere
which has an odor similar to that of
tar.
The well Is being drilled by Frank
Loveland on the Madras townslte and
has attained a depth of 125 feet. Sev
eral different strata of rock were
pierced during the course of the work
and last week, when It was expected
that water would be struck at any
moment, this well turned traitor and
one strike of the drill brought forth
a hissing current of air from the
shaft. Examination proved that the
air current was hot and Its fragrance
similar to that of the street work of
an asphalt paving company.
Theories are numerous In attempt
ing to account for the strange phe
nomenon. An underground pressure
of some kind is probably the cause of
the escaping air current. Madras is
not far removed from the center of
the so-called oil district in that sec
tion where excellent oil indications
have been found and where drilling
for petroleum will be resumed In a
short time.
This peculiar well at Madras coup
led with the fact that the Barnett oil
well at Culver gave forth a current
of gas soon after the petroleum Indi
cations were struck last year, would
indicate the right kind of pressure to
cause a gusher If oil Is ever found in
that vicinity In quantity, which is the
expectation of many interested resi
dents In that community.
HIGH PRICES FOR LAND.
Tide Flats Sell for Enormous Prices
In Seattle.
Several sales of tide lands in the
vicinity of Smith's cove and proper
ty In the vicinity of Georgetown
which were reported today indicate
that there is still some heavy buying
on behalf of railroad interests, says
the Seattle Star.
Not less than half a dozen parcels
of land In Georgetown have been
transferred to a person giving the
name of Roy Elliott. One. Is a sale
of considerable Importance, InvolV'
ing the transfer of lots 27 to J2 In
Queen addition, purchased from J. P.
Williams for 10,500.
Out at Smith's cove considerable
land Is changing hands adjoining the
property of the Portland Cordage
works and to the west towards the
bay channel. E. J. Shaffer has sold
probably 20 tracts next to the cordage
plant for a total amount aggregating
155.000.
The sales of tide lands ill the
southern part of the city does not
indicate that any big transfers have
been filed today. All of the dealers
who represent holdings there, how
ever, report a number of heavy trans
fers pending.

ALASKA PAYS HER WAY.
Gold Output for 1005 Was Double the
Purchase Price.
Alaska's gold product for 1905
would pay twice over the $7,200,000
which we gave for that province to
Russia, says the Seward Gateway.
And this Is only one Item In our an
nual Income from that region. Its
furs, fisheries and minerals have
yielded us $250,000,000 since our flag
was raised over It. Its resources in
coal, iron ore and timber, none of
which has been really touched yet,
are inexhaustible. Its possibilities in
agriculture and fruit raising are lar
ger than its mineral resources.
All that Alaska needs to develop
these vast riches are railroad and
and wagon roads, and these are be
ginning to appear. Congress has neg
lected this vast and opulent region
too long. This winter It should erect
Alaska Into a territory, provide for
the creation of good roads and enact
other needed legislation. Leslie's

Health of American Womeii
A Svibtfect Much Discussed e.t Women's Clubs
The Future of a Country Depends on the
"Health of Its Women.
At the New Tork State Assembly of
Mothers, a prominent New, York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular periods,
pelvio catarrh, displacement of the
female organs, indigestion or sleepless
ness ? There is a tried and true remedy
for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound has re
stored more American women to health
than all other remedies in the world.
It regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the, female organism as
nothing else can. For thirty years it
has been curing the worst forms of
female complaints.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. C. WUladsen, of Manning,
Ia writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"I can truly say that you have saved my
life and I cannot express my gratitude to you
in words. For two years I spent lots of money
in doctoring without any benefit for female
irregularities and I had given up all hopes of
ever beingwell again, but I was persuaded to
try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and three bottles have restored me to perfect
health. Had it not been for you I would
have been in my grave to-day."

WHAT IS
Advertising?
A business force that within the last 15 years
has developed into a science. A a legitimate
and honorable way, if judiciously and properly
pursued, of keeping oneself pleasantly in the
minds of the public, to the benefit of both the
advertiser and the public.
It is a science as sure as political economy
is a science. It's development depends upon art
as certainly as that of any other science.
Advertising is the greatest force in business
today. Advertising matter, if properly pre
pared, is sure to be read is sure to influence
the reader. The public looks with ever in
crersing respect and interest on the man who
advertises wed.
The EAST OREGOMAN reaches more
people in Umatilla County than any other
medium.
Miss Mattte Henry, Vice-President of
Danville Art Club, Danville, Vs., writes;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"Many years' suffering with female weak
ness, inflammation and a broken down system
made me more anxious to die than to live,
but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has restored my health and I am so grateful
for It that I want every suffering woman to
know what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound will do for her,"
When women are troubled with
irregular, suppressed or painful periods,
weakness, pelvic catarrh, displace
ments, that bearing-down feeling, in
flammation, backache, bloating (or
flatulency), general debility, indiges
tion, ana nervous prostration, or are
beset with such symptoms as dizziness,
faintness, lassitude, excitability, irri
tability, nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, "all-gone" and "want-to-be-lef
t-alone" feelings, blues, and hope
elessness, they should remember there
Is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. No other
medicine in the world has received such
unqualified endorsement. No other
medicine has such a record of cures
of female troubles. Refuse to buy
any other medicine, for you need the
best.
Mrs. Pinkham Invites all sick women
to write her for advice. The present
Mrs. Pinkham Is the daughter-in-law
of Lydia E. Pinkham, her assistant be
fore her decease, and for twenty-five
years since her advice has been freely
given to sick women. Her advice
and medicine have restored thousands
