It is the product of the versatile Wil lard Mack's pen. Mr. Mack was happy In the selection of his locality upon which to build a story and it conta:ns all the elements that go to make a success. No s ction of Amer ica holds a stronger fascination for the tourist than does the great west, with its great wide plains and inter esting characters. Mr. Mack has laid his story in Wyoming, the fa mous "cattle-country." wnere many stories could be told of fortunes made' and lost He has cleverely converted actual occurences ana sren-8 to stage, uses, and how well he did his work will be demonstrated when "In Wyoming" will be present- 1 at the Oregon Wednesday, Decem ber 15. $1, 75c, Popular prices will prevail, 60c and 25c. Tor That Pull Feeling After Eating. I have used Chamberlain's Stom ach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done rne more good than nny tablets I have ever used. My trouble was a heavy feeling after pitting David Freeman. Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and Improve the digestion. They also regulate the liver and bowels. They are far su perior to pills but cost no more. Get a free sample at all good dealers and see what a splendid medicine It is. 'Ilfsuniptioufc" Says McKlnne-y. In a letter to Manager Steiwer of tlio "Pendleton All-Stars," Represen tative Henry Mc-Kinney of Baker county, who was formerly a star foot ball player for the University of Ore gon, professes to be surprised at me presumption of the Pendleton aggre gation In thinking that it can play ball In a class with the uaner t-uy s intllators. He even goes so far as to Inquire if the boldness on the- part of the alleged players in this city was not induced by the "cup that cheers" despite the fact that Pendleton is sup posed to be a dry town. The letter professes to have been written In a spirit of warning, . for the football legislator declares that an organiza tion is In course of formation and that If the daring challenge of Pendleton Is not withdrawn that it will le ac cepted by Baker.

"After months of negotiations tho equal participation of Americans seems nt last assured. It Is gratify ing that Americana will thus take their share In' tho extension of these great highways of trado and to bo-llt-w that such activity will give a real impetus to our commerce and will prove a practical corrollary to our historic policy in tho Far East. No Monopoly in Manchuria. "In one of the Chinese-Japanese conventions of September 4 of this year there was a provision which cause 1 con.slilerablo public apprehen sion in that upon Its fact It was be lieved In some quarters to seek to es tablish a monopoly of mining privil eges along the south Manchurlan and Antung-Mukden railroads and thus to exclude Americans from a wide field of enterprise, to tako part In which they were by treaty with China, entitled. After a thorough examina tion of tlu conventions and 'of the s.-veral contextual documents, the sec retary of state reached the conclusidn that "o such monopoly was Intended or accomplished. However, In view of the widespread resolution of this question to confirm the view It had reached, the government made Inquiry of tho imperial Chinese and Japanese governments and received from each assurance that the provision hud no purpose inconsistent with the policy of equality of opportunity to which the signatories In common with the United States ure pledged. "Our traditional relations with the Japanese empire continue cordial as uvuul. The arrangement for a coop erative control of the Immigration of laborers to the United States has proved to work satisfactorily. The matter of a treaty between the Uni ted States and Japan which Is ter minable In 1912 Is already, being studied by both countries. Deficit In Treasury. "The report of the secretary of the treasury shows that the ordinary ex penditures for the current year end ing June 30. 1910, will exceed the os t. mated receipts by JIM. 075, 620. If to this deficit is added the sum to be disbursed at the Panama canal zone, amounting to $38,000,000, and $1. 000,000 to be paid on the public debt, the deficit of ordinary receipts 'and expenditures will be increased to a total deficit of $73,075,820. This de ficit, the secretary proposes to meet by the proceeds of bonds issued to pay the cost of constructing the Pan ama canal. I approve this proposal. "The actual cost to date of the ca nal, which is now half done and which will be completed January 1, l!HTi. shows that the cost of engineer ing and construction will be $2!7. TWii.ooo Insteail of $139,705,200 as or ' ig.nally estimated. The Increase is due to a substantial enlargement of the plan of construction by widening , the canal 100 feet In the Culebra cut and by increasing the dimensions of the locks to the under estimate of the quantity of the work to be done under the original plan, and to an under estimate of the cost of labor and ma- terials, both of which have greatly enhanced in price since the original , estimate was made. I "In order to avoid a deficit for the i ensuing fiscal year I directed the heads of departments In the prepara j tion of their estimates to mak"" .hem ! as low as possible consistent with Im 1 peratlve governmental necessity. I "in the present estimates the needs ' of the departments und of the gov i ei nment have been cut to the quick, ' so to speak, and any assumption on the part of the congress, so of ten made In times past, that the estimate have been prepared with the expec tation that they may be reduced, will result in seriously hampering proper administration. Kcganllng OI( Asw Pensions. "Most of the great Industrial organ izations and many of the well con ducted railways of this country are coming to the conclusion that a sys tem of pensions for old employes, and the substitution therefor younger and more energetic servants, promotes both economy and efficiency of ad ministration. "I am aware that there is a strong feeling in both houses of congress and possibly In the country against the es tablishment of civil pensions and that this has naturally grown out of tbe heavy burden of military pensions, which It has always been the policy of our government to assume; bu I am strongly convinced that no other prac tical solution of the difficulty pre sented by the superannuation of civil servants can be found than that of a system of civil pensions. Tho Sugar Frauds. "I regret to refer to the fact of the discovery of extensive frauds In the collection of the customs revenue at New York City, In which a number Despair and Despondenc No one but woman can tell i!:e Morv uf the tufTerinii tZ despair, and the despondency endured hv women who carry a daily burden of ill-lie drh and pi.:n hecu'usc of disorders and derangement of the delicnte and iennrtant organs that ore distinctly feminine.

Pierce, HuBalu, N.Y. ut tho subordinate employes In the weighing department were directly concerned, and In which the beneflot urles were tho American Sugar Re flnlg company and others. "Tho frauds consisted In the pay ments of duty on underweights of sugar. Tho government has recov ered from tho American Sugar Re fining company all that It Is shown ts havo been defrauded of. Tho sum was recovered by civil suit against the beneficiary of the fraud, but there was an express reservation In tho contract of settlement by which the settlement should not Interfere with or prevent tho criminal prosecution of every one who was found to bu' subject to the same. "Criminal prosecutions aro now pro ceeding against a number of the gov ernment officers. The treasury de partment and tho dinnrtment bf Jus tice are exerting every effort to dis cover all the wrongdoers, Including; tho officers and employes of the com panies who have been privy to the frauds. Jt would seem to me that an Investigation of the frauds by the con gress nt the present, pending tho prob ing by the treasury department and the department of Justice, ns propoe ed., might by giving Immunity and otherwise prove an embarrassment tat securing conviction of the guilty par ties. No Fear of Tariff Wnr. "Two features of the new tariff act cull for special reference. Py virtue of the clause known ns the 'maximum and minimum' clause. It Is the duty ol tho executive to consider tho laws and practices of other countries with reference to the Importation lata those countries of the products and merchandise of the United States and IT the executive finds such laws and prnctlces not to he unduly discrimina tory against the United States, tie minimum duties provided in the bill are to go Into force. Unless the president makes such a finding, then tlii- maximum duties provided In the bill, that Is. an Increase of 25 per cent ad valorem over the minimum du ties, are to be in force. Fenr litis beesi expressed that this power conferred and duty Imposed on the executive, ts likely to lead to a tariff wnr. I beg to express the hope nnd belief that no such results need be anticipated. "The new tariff law enables me to appoint a tariff hoard to assist mo In connection with the department ef state. In the administration of the minimum and maximum clause of the act and also to assist officers of tho government In the administration of the entire law. An examination of the law and an understanding of the nature of the fact" which should be considered In discharging the func tions imposed upon the executive show I have power to direct the tariff board to make a comparative glossary and encyclopedia of the terms ud and articles embraced In the tariff and secure information as to the cost of production of such goods In this country and the cost of their produc tion In foreign countries. I have there fore, appointed a tariff hoard con sisting of three members and have di rected them to perform all the duties above described. I,cliictloii n IlMintatoH. "In the Interest of economy and be cause of the prospect of a def'I'lt I have required a reduction in the es timates of the war department fer the coming flscnl year, which hrmgn the total estimates down to an nmount forty five millions h-ss than the cor responding estimates for last year. This could only be accomplished by cutting off projects and suspending for the period of one year all pro gress in military matters. For the sanie reason, I have ilireeifd that the army shall not be rec ruited up to Us present authorized strength. These measures can hurdlv be more than temporary to last until tmr revenues arc in better condition and until the V. hole question of the expediency of adopting a definite military policy can he submitted to congress, for I am sure that the Interests of the military st.-itilistiments are seriously In need of careful consideration by congress.
