Frederick J. Haskih, writing to the
Oregon Dally Journal of the proposed
new state of Lincoln, tells some in
teresting things of the inland empire,
his letter on that interesting subject
being as follows:
If the plans which are being devel
oped in the, country around Spokane
do not miscarry. Miss Columbia will
add a new star to her crown and an
other state to the union. Between
the Bitter Root mountains on the
east, the Salmon river mountains on
the south, the Cascade mountains on
the west and the Canadian boundary
line on the north, there are abouUO;
000,000 acres of territory cut off as
completely from the country beyond
It as the Caucasus cut ofr southeast
ern Europe from Asiatic Turkey and
Persia, or as the Alps divide Switzer
land and Italy.
This territory belongs to three
states, Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon. The people of northern Idaho
cannot get to their state capital with
out traveling west through eastern
Washington, thence south through
eastern Oregon, and thence east to
Boise.
The people east of the Cascade
mouitains in Washington are said to
be as much out of sympathy with the
either portion of their state as that
part of .Virginia lying west of the
Alleghanies was with the rest of the
-Old Dominion at the outbreak of the
civil war. And the people of eastern
Oregon find little In common with
their own people west of the moun
tains.
But these Isolated portions of the
three states have evrything in com
mon. Their interests are one, and
now they want to get together and
form a state out of their wonderful
inland empire.
There are nearly 13.000,000 acres
of Idaho territory in the boundaries
of the proposed new state. The pro
ponents want the 45th degree of lati
tude, which now constitutes the
northern boundary of Wyoming,
adopted as the northern boundary of
Idaho and the southern poundary of
EASY TO CURE- CATARRH.
Just Jlrvuthe in HyonMl, the Dry Air
That Kills the Gernia.
Tou can do exactly what O. J. Ster
ers did by using Hyomei. Read this:
"After having suffered from chron
ic catarrh' for years, for which I tried
various remedies without success, I
became almost discouraged. After
reading about Hyomei, I decided to
make one more effort to rid myself
of the dread disease, and to my great
delight I found the use of two bot
tles of the lnhalent sufficient to pro.
duce a complete cure. I now take
pleasure in recommending this rem
edy to all sufferers from catarrh."
G. J. Sterers, Crown City, Ohio.
We don't simply say Hyomei will
cure catarrh, but we say that Tallroan
& Co, the druggists, guarantees It to
cure catarrh, or money back. He does
more he guarantees it to cure asth
ma, bronchitis, hay fever, coughs and
colds. A complete Hyomei outfit, In
cluding inhaler, costs only 11.00, and
extra bottles, if you afterwards need
one, will cost but SO cents. Hyomei Is
. a pleasant dry air treatment. Tou
just breathe it In, and as It passes over
the inflamed membrane, It kills the
-germs of catarrh, and allays all Inflammation.

STATE OF LINGOLN
the proposed new state.
The line will be extended to the
120th degree of longitude and south
of the 45th degree of latitude to the
state of Idaho. This territory amounts
approximately to 17.000,000 acre.s
Under the proposed boundaries of
the several states they would have the
following acreage: Washington, 26,
000,000 acres; Oregon,' 38.000,000
acres; Idaho, 37,000,000 acres. Un
der the present status Washington
has 42,000,000 acres; Oregon, 61,000,
000, and Idaho 53.000,000, Washing
ton would have to contribute 16,000,
000 acres to the new state, Oregon 6,
000,000 to it and 17,000,000 to Idaho,
and Idaho 15,000,000 to the new state
A Great State.
With 37,000,000 acres, the new
state would be larger than New York,
Connecticut and Rhode Island put to
gether. Oregon would be called up
on to give up about as much territory
as there Is In the whole of the New
England states, and Washington would
have to transfer enough to make a
state I.irger than the combined terri
tory of Maryland, Massachusetts and
Connecticut.
In the property values Oregon would
have to give $70,000,000, und Wash
ington about a like umount, Idaho
would get back more than she would
give away. In population each one of
the states would be called upon to
contribute approximately one-fourth,
though Idaho would get more than
she contributed.
It "is proposed to call the new state
Lincoln. Other names have been sug
gested, but this one seems to meet
with the most general approval. Spo
kane would probably be made the
capital, although the people here sayj
that the matter of a cnolce of a cap
ital must not be considered now, that
this must be a question left entirely
to the future. Getting the new state
established is the only matter for con
sideration now. However, Spokane
Is right in the heart of the district
mapped out, as Boise will be in the
heart of the reformed state of Idaho.
There will be a hard time ahead
for the peole who propose to estab
lish this new state. Three legislatures
must agree to the proposition, because
the constitution of the United States
expressly states that no territory shall
be aken away . from a state for the
settling up of a new state without the
consent of its legislature. And after
three legislatures have assented to the
proposition it will still remain for
congress to say whether the territory
thus ceded by the legislatures shall
be erected into a state or not. It
will thus be seen that Herculean legi
Islatlve labors are ahead of those
who have the task in hand.
There have been numerous changes
of boundaries In the states In the
past 50 years, but all of these altera
tions were made while the present
states were territories. At the time
Oregon was made a territory there
were only two territories In ths north
western part of the United States
west of the present state of Minne
sota, namely, Oregon and Nebraska.
Oregon then extended from the
present California boundary line to
the Canadian border. The people of
the northern part of the territory
found Salem, their state capital, cut
off from them by reason of the great
distance. An agitation was started
which resulted In the creation of the
territory of Washington. This new
territory extended east to the Rocky
mountains, and embraced portions of
the present states of Idaho and
Montana. As there were but few In

habitants east of the Cnsr.iiln mm,..
tains, Olympia. then the center of
population, was chosen for the capi
tal. The discovery of gold In the terri
tory now constituting the state of
Idaho brought some 30,000 miners
there. The territory of Idaho was
then erected. It embraced nil of the
present state of Idaho, nil of Mon
tana, and the notrhern part of the
present state of Wyoming. Lewiston
was then the capital, but gold dis
coveries in southern Idaho threw the
balance of population into that sec
tion, and Boise succeeded as the ter
ritorial capital.
Thus the conflict of Interests began
early. After this was done the peo
ple of the Idaho panhandle wanted
to Join the state of Washington. They
fought against overwhelming odds,
but finally got a bill through con
gress making It possible. But a Wa
terloo was struck In the shape of a
veto by President Cleveland, and so
the proposition has never been made
a law.

The Walla V.'z'.'z " Roams
W'nlla Walla people In the following
deserved manner for not patronizing
the O. R. & H. excursion which was
run to this city last Sunday for the
Pendleton-Walla Wallu ball game:
The excursion to Pendleton yester
day to witness the opening of the new
baseball league was not what It
should have been and what It could
have been made had the right kind
of promotion "work been done, and at
the right time, says the Union.
With a thousand of our people
over on the Sound to greet tho fleet
there was some slight excuse for the
meagerness of the baseball excursion
but not enough to justify a failure
to notify the diamond dust devotees
of the Intent to make such a trip sev
eral days In advance.
Yerterday morning after the Union
had been read there were a great
many people who follow the fortunes
of the home team who would have
gone to the Umatilla town and did
some responsible rooting if the hour
had not been almost at hand.
Railroads don't want and won't run
unprofitable excursions. The matter
is one ot business. There Is' a way
in which to make such undertakings
profitable and that Is to employ mod
ern methods In appealing to the peo
ple who will make such trips.
The proper kind of publicity Is es
sential. It should be prepared with
as much care as any other kind of
advertising and should be done In time
If results are to be obtained. People
cannot be lasoed over night and held
for ft trip, the nature of which they
can only guess at.
The game nt Pendleton yesterday,
while It was Inst to the Walla Walla
team Is said to have been an excel
lent one. Those who are In fandom
can tell nil about It now.
But the Individual conversational
ist don't cut much of a figure on the
public mind, nnd between thp rnll
rond management nnd the baseball
managers they should plan to get the
public mind fixed upon their attrac
tions or there will not be the mani
festation of interest In their under
takings which they are supposed to bo
striving for.

Widening of the great Sunnysldo
posite Orandvlow, and perhaps fur
ther, is contemplated by tho United
States reclamation service, says tho
Yakima Herald. Although no offi
cial announcement has been made of
the plan of widening the great canal
engineers In the employ of tho ser
vice say that the change Is pertain to
be .made, In order that the extension
of the canal may be furnished with
sufficient water.
Already the government has ex
pended about $2.10,000 on reconstruc
tion work In the canal, nnd fully that
much more will be necessary If the
widening Is to be done. The changes
made during the last year have been
chiefly In the placing of H weirs or
drops, In the canal, so that the flow
would not be so rapid.
If the canal Is widened, there will
be opportunity to furnish water for
a largo territory opposite the Kiona
bend country, as well as for the
Mabton siphon section, which Is to
be placed under water. With the ex
ception of the first two miles, there
will be little difficult work in recon
structing the canal.

Nature and a woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ilia that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
Shysicians who have spent years in
le study of drugs.
From the roots and herb", of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs,
Lydki E. Pinkhain's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 615 N.C St,
Louisiana, Mo., writes:
fVitnnlof rrfttnrfttton to health
; means so much to me that for tbe sake
of other suffering women I am willing
i to make my troubles public.
I For tweWe years I had been suffer
! in; with tbe worst forms of female ills.
! During that time I had eleven different
i physicians without help. No tongue
; can tell what I suffered, and at times 1
: could hardly walk. About two yean
j ajro I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
ydia E. Pinkhain's Vegetable Com
! pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. It is
! worth mountains of gold to suffering
I women."
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
' table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
i it will do for other suflcring women,
