UP TO THIS STATJ2. Government ITlimt Jlavc Clear Title For t'elllo Omul. Salem, Or., Deo 17. Hovernor Cham berlain today received from Major W. C. Langfitt, of the United States Engin eer Corps at Portland, a communication informing him that the hoard of eritnn eerB authorized by the river and harbor act approved June 13, 1903, and con stituted by paragraph P. S. O. No. 19, 1902, headquarters Corps of Engineer, submitted its report of modification of the project for improving the Columbia river between the foot of the dalles rapids and the head of Colilo falls. It is further stated that the board has recommended that no work shall be be gun until a right of way and release from damages have been conveyed to the United States free of cost. This recommendation was concurred in by the Chief of Engineers, and the Acting Secretary of War, under date of Novem ber 6, 1903, approved the report subject to the condition that no work should be begun until the right of way and release from damages have been conveyed to the United States free of cost. Major Langfitt's letter concludes by saying that nothing is said as to who should secure the right of way, but that he presumes this will devolve upon the state, and if any officials are authorized to take the matter in hand, he will be pleased to co operate with them as far as possible. In reply to this letter Gov ernor Chamberlain says in part: "The legislature ' at its last session passed an act providing for the creation of a Board of Portage Commissioners and providing for the acquirement of a right of way aDd the construction of a portage railroad around the point re ferred to in your letter, and made an ap propriation for that specific purpose, and, much as T feel interested in seeing the United States take charge of this important work, I have no power to do anything in the premises, nor has the board referred to authority under the act creating them to appropriate any money for any other purpose than that specifically mentioned in the act. "'I regret this exceedingly, but until further legislation we are compelled to proceed in the matter of acquiring a right of way and constructing a portage railroad In the very nature of things this can on'y be a temporary expedient, whilst a government canal would be permanent and would do more than it is possible for the state to do to relieve, conditions in Eastern Oregon and Wash ington, and I sincerely hope that the general government may vet, through its proper authorities, see its way to take the initiative both in the matter of securing t'tle to a right of way and in the work of construction of a canal." more Honey to C rater Lake. Washington, Dec. 16. The Interior Department recognizes that more liberal appropriations are necessary for the im provement of the Crater Lake National Tark than have been made in the past. The last sundry civil bill appropriated only $2000 for this work and out of this an allowance poes to the salary of the superintendent. With such a meagre appropriation little progress can be made in the direction of constructing roadayjind making other improvements which will facilitate the access to Crater Lake and other points of scenic interest scattered all through the park. This year, the secretary of the treasury hopes to have at least $4000 made available so that the improvements can be made during the summer of 1904. Mount Rainier National Park in Washing'on is so far without a superin tendent, and beyond a road survey made last summer, little has been done looking to is improvement. Tl.o secre tary now asks for $2300 to be expended in the management and improvement of this park end on the i i provement of roads. The Washington delegation will ask for a larger amount, although there is some doubt if they w ill succeed in getting it. Independent and reliable The Oregon-gonlan. TO FOSTER TARIFF. Chamberlain Will Enlist Services of a Committee. Leeds, Dec. 16. Joseph Chamberlain addressed two immense audiences here tonight, making the last speeches of his fiscal campaign for the present year. From the moment of Mr. Chamberlain's arrival in Leeds, the enthusiasm was tremendous and many demonstrations were made in the streets. The first speech was made in the Coli- J seum ana was listened to by 3000 per sons and a similar number attended the overflow meeting held afterward in the to wn hall, which was altogether inade quate to accommodate the great crowd seeking admission. The feature of Mr. Chamberlain's speech at the Coliseum was his an nouncement of the fact that he has been engaged in getting together a committee to make inquiries among the various branches of trade at home and abroad, the work of which committee, he ex pected, he said, will result in clearing away many difficulties. The committee will consist ot about 30 business men of the highest standing, who will begin their work in the near future. It will be composed of men from all centers of industry, both in the United Kingdom and in the colonies. Subcom mittees will be formed to deal with each branch of trade and to take exhaustive evidence, meeting twice weekly until their work is finished. When the re ports are completed, Mr. Chamberlain said, he expected to be in a position to formulate a tariff bill acceptable to the country, which will not only foster im perial trade, but which will enable Great Britain to give trade advantages to those who are prepared to render her similar favors. The rest of Mr. Ciamberlaio's speech was largely a repetition of his former arguments. He said the country was now at the parting ot the ways, and posterity would never forgive the gov ernment if it lost the slightest chance of securing what was actually needed by the nation. Referring to the alleged difficulty of convincing the colonies, Mr. Chamber lain said : "Send me an Ambassador to the colo nies with full powers. I am perfectly wiling to link my reputation on being able not merely to satisfy the colonies, but also to secure from them equal measures in return." Says Britain Will I,ose It. New York, Dec. 16. At a meeting here today of the Armstrong Association Andrew Carnegie surprised his hearers by asserting he believed Great Britain would surely some day lose S. uth Africa. He said: "It is about as certain as we are living that Great Britain will lose South Africa because the Dutch population there is increasing, while the British are not. The Kaffirs won't work. What would Great Britain give for 9,000,000 negroes, as peaceable and as loving as those in this country. These men give us about 11,000,000 bales of cotton every year and this, 1 contend, helps make the United States the moat powerful nation in the world. Suppose a fleet of British warships would attack us. The presi dent need only raise his hand and say stop exporting cotton, and the war would be won. What a happy country this is to have the negro. "My knowledge of the question leads me to the opinion that no political measure can ever save or benefit the negro. The Hampton Institute shows the only useful solution." Iltiitrke I'ockran to Itun. New York, Dec. 16. Bomke Cockran will be nominated by Tammany hall to succeed Mayor-elecl George McClellan as the representative from the twelfth congressional district es soon as Mc Clellan rfsigns his seat to undertake his duties as the municipal executive. That was determined today at Mr. Cockran's office, where lie met Charles F. Murphy and gave the Tammany hall leader his consent to run. W 5 Fibroid Tumors Cured. J A distressing case of Fibroid Tumor, which baffled the skill of Boston doctors. Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, Mass., in the following letter tells how she was cured, after everything else failed, by Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Mrs. Hayes' First Letter Appealing to Mrs. Pinkham for Help t "Deab Mrs. Pinkham: I have been under Boston doctors' treat ment for a long time without any relief. They tell me I have a fibroid tumor. I cannot sit down without great pain, and the soreness extends up my spine. I have bearing-down pains both back and front. My ab domen is swollen, and I have had flowing spells for three years. My ap petite is not good. I cannot walk or be on my feet for any length of time. "The symptoms of Fibroid Tumor given in your little book ac curately describe my caseso I write to you for advice." (Signed) Mra. E. F. Uayes, 252 Dudley bt., (Koxbury) Boston, Mass. Note the result of Mrs. Pinkham's advice al though she advised Mrs. Hayes, of Boston, to take her medicine which she knew would help her her letter contained a mass of additional instruc tions as to treatment, all of which helped to bring about the happy result. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: Sometime ago I wrote to you describ ing my symptoms and asked your advice. You replied, and I followed all your directions carefully, and to-day I am a well woman. " The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound entirely expelled the tumor and strengthened, my whole system. I can walk miles now. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is worth five dol lars a drop. I advise all women who are afflicted, with tumors or female trouble of any kind to give it a faithful trial." (Signed) Mrs. E. F. IIa-es, 252 Dudley St., (Roxbury) Boston, Mass. Mountains of gold-could not purchase such testimony or take the place of the health and happiness which Lydia 12. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought to Mrs. Hayes. Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a remedy for all the distressing ills of women ; all ovarian troubles; tumors; inflammations; ulceration, falling and dis placements of the womb; backache; irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation. Surely the volume and character of the testimonial let ters we are daily printing in the newspapers can leave no room for doubt. Mrs. Hayes at her above address will gladly answer any letters which sick women may write for fuller information about her illness. Her gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is so genuine and heartfelt that she thinks no trouble is too great for her to take in return for her health and happiness. Truly is it said that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound that ia curing so many women, and no other medicine ; don't for get this when some druggist wants to sell you something else.

Maria Corelli, the novelist, was to lay awarded half a cent damages, each side to pay its own costs, in a libel suit brought by her against the proprietor of the Stratford on-Avon Herald in connection with the recent controversy in which Miss Corelli opposed the erection of a Carnegie library, on the ground that it involved a desecration of Shakespeare's birthplace. The alleged libel consisted in a state ment that Miss Corelli desired to erect a library at the same place. The case attracted much attention, and the court was crowded, many fashionable people being present. Mil a Corelli tes'ified in her own behalf for two hours, and emphatically denied she wanted to erect a library.
