Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
cures diseases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It
restores physical strength in the only
possible way, by enabling the assimila
tion of the nutrition contained in food.
"I was sick for over three years with a com
plication of stomach troubles!" writes Mr. John
II. C:istoua, residing at 2942 Arch St., Chicago,
Illinois. "Had tried every good physical! I
knew of, as well as many patent medicines, but
received only temporary relief. One day a
friend recommended your 'Golden Medical Dis
covery.' I immediately procured some and be
j?nn its use. Commenced to gain the first week,
ami alter I had taken only' one bottle I could
cat as well as any one without experiencing ill
f filets. I took five bottles, and to-clny am happy
to announce that I am as well and healthy as
p.ny one could be. I owe it all to Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery."
The sole motive for substitution is to

tlie Iroject.
Major Langfitt has sent a report on
Ibe proposed canal and locks below
Olilo to the special board of engineers,
which is evolving a p!an to modify the
Marts project The report contains
(recommendations and eHti mates, derived
from the surveys which tlie local
engineers made last Summer.
The new canal project, in all proba
bility will cost but little more than
Captain Hart's plan. Tho estimated
outlay, according to the Harts p!an, as
submitted in 1900, was less than $4,000,
X0. Captain Harts undertook to minimize
t he cost by means of a dam at the nar
rows, where the Columbia at low water
is 150 feet wide and 180 feet deep. Evi
dently, he did not know the full depth
oi did not appreciate the difficulties of
Sjuilding the dam, for the special board
iias rejected it as impracticable.
The idea of the special board is that a
continuous canal, some 45,000 feet long,
on the Oregon shore, below Celilo Falls,
is the best means of surrounding the
Carrier. It has been generally expected
that the modified project would greatly
exceed the cost of the Harts plan ; con
sequently, that the difficulty of getting
sufficient money would be augmented.
The probability that the money required
will not go much beyond the sum need
led for the Hearts project will be gratify
inz to the interests which desire the
opening of the river.
About half the length of the canal is
to be excavated in basaltic rock and the
rest in sand and gravel. The canal will
ii&ve seven feet of water over the miter
sills, and will be 65 feet wide at the
iottorn.
Major Langfitt has made the surveys
ior the purpose of affording the board
required information. On those sur
veye the board will base its recommenda
tions to the Chief of Engineers.

America Favors Arbitration Treaty
Willi Britain.
Washington, Oct. 22. Thomas Bar
clay, of Paris and London, formerly
President of the British Chamber of
Commerce, who is in Washington, ex
pressed himself as favorable to the re
newal of the efforts to secure an arbitra
tion treaty between the United States
find Great Britain, and added he felt
somewhat encouraged over the prospects
He expressed the opinion that the sue
resa of the Franco-Be itifch treaty would
;rove Leli iul as a precedent, and said
that, while that treaty did not cover as
much ground as did the treaty with the
United States, it would be aflective as
an entering wedge.
Referring to the prospects for an
Anglo American treatv Mr. Barclay said :
"At New York I had an opportunity
of conferring with many eminent men of
business, and without exception I gath
ered that on their part a revival of the
movement would be heralded with great
satisfaction. Everybody I spoke to had
a vivid recollection of the financial re
sults of the famous Venezuelan dispatch
of Mr. Olney, and everybody showed a
disposition to do their level best to get
some system adopted to preventa recur
rence of such a disaster.
"But it is in this city that I have,
without, exception, received the warm
est encouragement. Everybody of i ;
portance here agrees that as in the case
of the Anglo-French movement we must
not push forward with too great speed,
but gradually get representative bodies
of the country to show their approval
and testify to the general desire of the
country to consolidate the relations with
Great Britain in some permanent form."
Mr. Barclay has talked with President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay on this
subject.
Idaho Must Fix Law
Boise, Ida., Oct. 22. The state has re:
ceived advices trom the General Land
Office to the effect that the Government
will not approve any more projects in
this state for the reclamation of lands
under the Carey act or patent any lands
contracted to be reclaimed under that
act until the state shall have amended
its own law accepting the grant and
making provisions for carrying it into
execution. The ruling has come in con
nection with the application for the
Marysville Canal Company.
In 1901 the state amended its land
laws, the amendment providing that any
lands which may not have been taken
by settlers under any Carey Canal sys
tem may be patented by the state to the
company by which such works were con
structed. It is held that it is in direct
conflict with the purposes of the Carey
law, which stipulates that lands reclaim
ed under its proyisions shall not pass to
others than actual settlers and not in
tracts larger than 160 acres. The state
authorities are somewhat bothered about
the matter since there are several opera
tions in progress under the law and sev
eral others in contemplation.
General Manager Filer, of the Twin
Falls Company, who is in town, states it
will make no difference to them, as they
will have settlers for all of their tract of
250,000 acres of land. Others who have
applications pending have expressed a
willingness to waive the right to have
any unappropriated lands deeded to
their companies.
They have no doubt the Legislature
will oomply w ith the requirements and
that their projects can go on without in
terruption. The matter will be taken
up with the department with the view
of coming to a fuller understanding on
the subject.
German on America' Need.
Berlin, Oct. 22. President Koch, of
the Reichbank, discussing American fi
nancial matters, said today to the cor
respondent of the Associated Press :
"According to my private information
from the United States, the most lively
interest is manifested there for further
reform of the currency system in the di
rection of greater elasticity. Your
country already has taken long strides
toward a sound mone'ary system in the
repeal of the Sherman law, as well as
in more recent measures. This legis
lation has been dictated by adetermina
tion to keep the currency sound.
"But from our Getman experience,
we regard elasticity as being next in im
portance to soundness, and as being in
deed indispensable for the circulating
medium of a great commercial nation,
and we think it would be of immense
advantage to the United States to adopt
some plan under w hich the volume of
circulation would naturally adjust it
self to the monetary needs of business

besides developing a check and deposit
svstem. Whether this end would best
be attained through the establishment
of a single, central bank, like the Reich
bank, or several such banks in the im
portant financial centers, but operate in
harmony with each other in some other
way, are questions which we at this dis
tance are unable to answer, and must
be determined by American conditions.
"Secretary Shaw's recent suggestion
that reform be undertaken along the gen
eral lines of the German system is a
gratifying tribute from a competent for
eign source to the successful working of
theReichsbank. Whatever may be the
fate of his suggestion, the Secretary's
speech shows that the minds of the lead
ing American statesmen are seriously
grappling with the problem, and that
they are moving in the right direction."
Confer Willi Koosevelt.
Washington, Oct. 22. Attorney Gen
eral Knox, accompanied by Charles F.
Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad, who
have been retained as a special Govern
ment counsel in the prosecution of the
persons indicted for criminal irregu
larities in the Postoffice Department,
had a long conference with President
Roosevelt this afternoon.
It is known that the matters under
discussion related particularly to the
matters of the postoffice investigation,
which have not been developed thor
oughly in any reports yet presented to
the President or postoffice officials.
The Bonaparte and Conrad report re
cently submitted to the President, it can
be said, deals with things rather than
persona. The President desired from
the special attorneys merely that they
should report upon the accuracy of the
Tu'loch charges. It is known that the
report did contain two or three recom
mendations, but thoe were as to meth
ods and not as to men.
Attorneys Bonaparte and Conrad will,
under the President's order, continue
the investig-Uions aloig the lines of
their snggec-tions in their rpport, which
will be made pubHc probably at an
early date. Later on the President will
transmit to Congress all reports made to
him concerning the postal investigation?.
Those portions of the Conrad Bona
parte report will contain the findings of
the attorneys regarding persons who
have not been iodie'ed, but whose
oHicial actions have bee i irregular, if
not criminal. It is discovered by the
attorneys that cases aga:nst th"fe per
sons cannot be made because of H e
statute of limitations, which bar? pros

Every preparation has been made for
the early completion of the branch.
Gilliam county farmers, stockmen and

task of disposing of the output of mer
chandise of various kinds which the
country tapped prodnces.
Now the work has actually begun at

London, Oct. 21. Joseph Chamber
lain spoke to a large audience at Tyne
mouth today, but he did not add much
to what he had already said. The ex
Colonial Secretary dwelt lengthily on
the relations between Great Britain and
her colonies, saying what he asked for
was a mandate from the people to ne
gotiate with the colonies. If the people
gave the desired mandate he thought
the Colonial Secretary should visit the
various colonies and negotiate on the
spot. The only policy suggested by the
opposition was to let things alone. In
his opinion, matters in this country had
been left alone too long.
