"WHISKY" COLD CURES.
In a squalid quarter of the City of
Mexico MaMe Jesus, Vegr!t8 Dyzmsn
recently died, supposedly abjectly
poor, though she had the reputation
of being a miser. After her death
cah, securltlf-9 and books of bank
deposit were found amounting to
t55,00f. The woman was a sister of
General Pedro Romulo Negrete. She
Inherited a large property. Early In
life she was disappointed In love and
became a nun. Afterward she was
erpelled from the tsterhood because
of drunkenness and afterward lived
a precarious and shady xlstence.
Danger of Using Alcoholic Mixtures
or Coal Tar Tablets.
The most dangerous thing that ono
can do when affected with a cough or
cold is to use a medicine that contains
whisky or a tablet that is made of
some coal tar product. Putting aside
all moral objections to filling up with
whisky or drugs because one has a
cold, the injurious physical effect
should be sufficient to keep one from
using these strong medicines.
The most sensible as well as the
onlv scientific way to treat a cough
or cold is by Inhaling medication that
I will kill the germs and give relief to
; the Irritated mucous membrane In
; the nose, throat and lungs.
I Among the few remedies that are
used in this way, Hyomel Brands prc
. eminent It Is breathed through a
neat pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, and the first breath of
Its healing air relieves the Irritation,
and Its continued use soon effects a
thorough cure. 4
, The best people in Pendleton al
ways keep Hyomel at hand In the
winter months, and at the first syrmp
' tnm of a cold or bronchial trouble,
: use the remedy and prevent serious
! and lasting illness. If you have any
j douhts as to the effects of Hyomel In
curing coughs, colds and all bronchial
troubles, the guarantee Tallman ft Co.
g've with every outfit should convince
, you of Its curative powers. A H'O
. rncl outfit jots, !li and If It does not
give satisfaction, Tallman ft Co. will
rPturn your money.
Extra bottles of Hyomel, If needed,
can be obtained for 50c, but the com
plete outfit Is usually enough to cure
several colds.
Auction Sale.
All personal property now on the
Frank B. Clopton ranch, Including
farm and dairy Implements, horses
and cattle, will be sold at public auc
tion at the Alta House at 1 p. m., Sat

No woman's ppv.
ness can be complete
without children; it
is her nature to love
and want them
as much so as it is
to love the beau
tiful and oure.
The critical ordeal through which the expectant mother must pass,
however, is go fraught with dread, pain, suffering and danger, that the
very thought of it fills her with apprehension and horror. There is no
necessity for the reproduction of life to beeither painful or dangerous.
The use of Mother's Friend so prepares the system for the coming event
that it is safely passed without any danger. This great and wonderful
remedy is always ap
plied externally, and
has carried thousands
of women through the
trying crisis without suffering.

Now lardless cookery
Improvement is the order of the age.
There was a time when Lard was considered
the only shortening. To-day, the only people
who use lard for shortening and frying pur
poses are those who are not familiar with the
virtues of Cottolent. It pays to be abreast of
the times. Cottolene is not only superior to
lard from a health standpoint, being a vegetable
rather than an animal product, but it will make
more palatable food than lard; and it is more
economical than lard because, being richer, one
third less is required than of lard or cooking butter.
Lard cooked food is not digestible because
lard is a hog-fat product. Cottolene makes food
more digestible and healthful because it is es
sentially a product of nature and contains only
that which is digestible, healthful, and a real
means of sustaining life.
If your grocer is an up-to-date, progressive
man, he will have Cottolene in stock. More than
that, if he has ever used it in his own family,
he will recommend it in preference to lard or
cooking butter. If he does not do this, it is
only because he is unfamiliar with the virtues
of Cottolene. Prove our claims to your own
satisfaction by giving the product a fair test.
Give Cottolene a good, fair test, use it
according to directions, and note the benefit
to vour digestion. You'll
never go back to Lard.
COTTOLENE was granted a GRAND PRIZE (highest
possible award) over all other cooking fats at the
recent Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and food cooked
with COTTOLENE another GRAND PRIZE.

PORTLAND COMPANY
CONTRACTS WITH STATE
Twelve Thonsand Acres Will Re Re
claimed in Northern Lake County
at Cost of $421,000 Land All Be
Irrigated Under tlie Carey Act and
Will Cost State About $33 Per
Acre.
A large irrigation contract was yes
terday entered into between the Mate
land board and the Portland Irriga
tion company, which Involves $421,
000, and the reclamation of 12,000
acres of lind near Paisley, In the
northern part of Lake county, says
the Salem Statesman. The contract
is to be In effect six months after
the United States government has
contracted with the state to turn
over th's land for reclamation pur
poses. Fy the terms of the contract with
the Irrigation company, any ono who
Is a bona fide citizen of the United
States can settle on 10 acres of land
within this area described In the con
tract, by agreeing to pay fifty cents
per acre assessed for the reclama
tion lien thereon,, and when 80 per
cent is paid in, the land becomes the
settlers, and a detd for the land is
made over to him.
The contract was signed at the
meeting of the ttate land board yes
terday, over which Governor Cham
berlain phealried, and Is considered a
very good one in many respects. It
!. estimated that the work of re
clamation will cost the company
about J25 per acre, while the con
tract with the state will cost the
state but $35.
It Is even figured that It may cost
the Company more than $25 in some
Instances. They are to hulld a large
reservoir eighty feet high, about fif
teen miles above the lands to be re
claimed, Cm the Chewacan river, with
R storing capacity of water sufficient
to do the work of reclamation. The
company agrees to maintain all
dams, main canals, laterals, flumes,
works and weirs, which are to re
main their property.
No land shall be sold before the
date of reclamation, and the com
pany notified that they can sell lands.
This will prevent further trouble like
that had between the board and the
Columbia Southern Irrigation com
pany near Bend.
The company argees that they will
deliver between May 23 and Septem
ber 1 of each year, two acre feet of
water for each Here of land for or
dinary Irrigation purposes. The con
tract is a voluminous document, set
ting forth In detail the work of re
clamation, and embodies maps and
blue prints of the section of land to
be reclaimed, cuts of dams, and oth
er work on the canals, etc.
This contract opens, the way for
reclamation work, and the settling of
lands In another direction, but covers
a great many of the points stated In
the Irrigation bills, that were killed
In the present legislature, but does
not touch on rlparlnn or vested
rlght'i, and the sale of water rights I
up to the Irrigation company, and
the coitract specifies shall be per
petual, and embrace a proportional
Interest in the reclamation works.
!t Is a well known fact that this
nature of work was' discouraged by
the opposition to Irrigation of lands
by representatives and senators of
the last assembly. In fact, Represen
tative Wilson was heard to remark
that "we do not want It advertised
that w are Irrigating these lands,
and have settlers come In here from
the outside." On top of his asser
tion, it Is alleged that he was speak
ing for th Standard Oil Interests,
who control a large portion of these
water r'ghts throughout the state,
and don't want them disturbed.

No Emergency for Printer,
State Printer Dunlway will have to
provide for the expense of his office
for the next three months out of his
personal account, on account of no
special appropriation hill carrying-a
maintenance fund for the state print
er's office. No provision was made In
the general appropriation bill, on ac
count of other bills affecting his of
fice, and the legislation was defeated
late In the session providing another
special bill. It will cost Mr. Dunl
way about $1000 for the running ex
penses of his office.
A severe cold that may develop In
