would be of untold benefit to nil,

town and have no place to water
their teams.
The story of a peculiar case in

daugeter of Dr. and Mrs. Lamber
son, as her own daughter. It
seems that the child's parents sep
arated when she was two years old,
tbe mother securing a divorce at
Arlington, Oregon. Being poor, the
mother left the child with a family
and went away to work. The fam
ily sent the babe to the Boys and
Girls' home at Portland and there
Dr. and Mrs. Lamberson found and
adopted her as their own. They
are heart broken over the loss of the
little girl, but nobly yielded to tbe
mother's claim. Mrs. Estes, the
mother, is now married again and is
well off. She has had detectives
tracing the child for four years.
