Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi-
ton Of the mucous lining Of the eusta-
cf,ian tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. deafness is the result, and un-
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dltion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused BY catarrh
that we cannot cure by taking Halls

THE LOWEST BIDDER.
Capt. j. Il. Howard offers to Improve
Grays Harbor for 944,O86.

Capt. j. Il. Howard offers to Improve
Grays Harbor for S44,O86.
Several weeks ago Captain Symons,
Of United States engineers, advertised and
received bids for building dikcs for the
improvement Of Grays Harbor. The bids
were all rejected on account of being I'M
balanced, and because the work could
not be begun until next spring and it was
deemed advisable to make some changes
in the specifications. New bids were adj
vertised, to which responses have been
received and opened by Captain Symons.
They are six in number, as follows: Dick.
inson & Co., Seattle, 1000; M. Brane-
gan, Seattle, $63,225; Charles King,
Tacoma, $54, 1852; Daniel Kern, Portland,
$4s, 164; J. E. Howard, Killgraver, Or,
$44,OS6. Killgraver is situated a short
distance east Of Mount Tabor, on the sec.
tion-line road, and Mr.. Howard whose
bid is the lowest, and has been recon-.
mended for acceptance, has the contract
for dikes ut Willapa harbor and Tillamook
bay. Both Of the Portland bidders were
much lower than the Tacoma or Seattle
bidders.

Judge Twins Decision ON the Legality
Of County Road Bonds.
Judge Irwin has at last rendered q
decision on the county bond case, in
which the 1924, 900 indebtedness voted in
May, 1891, is declared illegal. The
grounds upon which the decision is rem.
dered are that the legal Indebtedness al
the time the bonds were voted exceeded
the constitutional limit. Judge TWINS
decision is lengthy and exhaustive, and
cites the law in an able manner. This
decision is certainly favorable to large
majority of the people of Chehalis
county, and will be hailed with delight
by the taxpayers and citizens of the

mask ball at Hoquiam on New Years
eve. The exhibition part of the bali was
held in the theater casino before a large
and delighted audience. This part of the
program was announced to begin at 8 p.

of the occasion, except the general cuss-

In the case Of G. A. Pratsch and wife
against the Aberdeen Packing Co., the
case being question Of boundaries of lot
II in the old Seaborg cannery tract,
brought by the Pratschs, Referee ], O.
Selden reports to the court that at the
time Of the purchase of the lot the Pack
ing Co. occupied territory east of F
street, the northern boundary OF which
was 70 feet, and the southern boundary
120 feet, and the width of which, from F
street toward the Wishkah river, was 76
feet on the north end and 120 feet on the
south end. That j. G. Pearson, agent for
the Packing Co. during the time of the
sale and previous thereto, asserted and re-
peatedly stated to eight Of the purchasers,
sometimes to one of them and at other
times to two or more of them, and, at the
time the land contract was delivered, in
the presence and hearing of all Of them,
that the Packing Co. owned all the land
occupied by them and two feet further to
the eastward, and that the line two feet
to the east of the space occupied was the
meander line of the Wishkah river.
That the meander line was at that time
distinctly pointed out to the Pratscha
and at least seven of the other pur-
chasers That the line SO asserted and
pointed out was and is 76 feet eastward
from the east line of F street and PARALLEL
Herewith. That the meander line of the
Wishkah river is Is feet easterly from
the easterly line of street and nearly
parallel Herewith at the junction OF
street and lot z. That lot consists OF a
strip OF land 80 feet front on F street
and 10 feet in depth, Is feet being the
width or depth from street to the
meander line OF the Wishkah river.
That lot Z on the 3rd Of July, 1890, was
and is now Of the value of $500, and Of no
greater value. That neither OF the
Pratschs knew what the distance was
from F street to the meander line of the
Wishkah river until after the month of
July, 1890. That the Packing Co. and
| it's agent J. G. Pearson had the means of
knowing where the meander line of the
Wishkah river was located in June and
July, 1890. That the representations as
to the dimensions Of lot made by J. G..
Pearson to the plaintiffs as above found
were firmly relied upon by them as true.
That if the plaintiffs, or either Of them,
had known the true size and dimen-
sions OF LOTT before executing the con-
tract Of purchase, neither Of them would
have entered into such contract nor would
have agreed to purchase the lot on any
terms.
