Street r. w. Line Today.
The Salem Consolidated street hall
way company through Its receiver, f.
r. Anson, has made arrangements Tor
improving the road from the corner oi
Fourteenth and Chemeketa repairs TO
tbe Willamette hotel. Although re-
pairs have been continually made

All old ties will be replaced with new
besides making other such repairs as
are necessary. That part OF the road
in South Salem and also east OF Four
tcentl street are in comparatively
good condition and need no repairs.
These repairs will not in the least
interfere with the prompt and efiici-
ent service Of the street car company
which will make regular trips on
schedule time while the repairs are
being carried on. The work will be Sc
arranged that the dirt may be removed
from about the ties during the day
and the old ties will be replaced dur
ing the night by new ones. More
hands will be added tomorrow morn
ing and the work will be pushed to a
nasty finish. 1t is thought the work

Deafness Cannot Be cu,sd

10y local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portions OF the
ear. There Is only one way To cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eustechian tube. When
this tube is innamed you have a
rumhling sound or imperfect hearing
and when il Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out, and
this tube restored 10 its normal cOndi-
tian hearing will be destroyed for

= There can be no greater
error than to expect or calculate
upon real favors from nation to

experience must cure, which a just

IT viii be seen by reference to
an associated press dispatch in ala
other column, headed Statehood
in the House." that New Mexieo's
struggle for statehood is still be-
ing handicapped; this time with
obstacles which were predicted by
the SOUTHWEST SENTINEL when
the discussion of the payment Of
the rsilroad bonds was 90 heated
several months ago. Congress is
now ready to grant us statehood
provided We are willing TO pay the
debt contracted IN connection
with the building Of the Santa Fe
railroad 10 this place. The posi-
ton Of this paper was then, and
still is, that Silver City and Grant
County, entered into the agree
ment in good faith, the road was
built. the bonds were properly
signed and attssted, and since we
have received the benefits antici-
pated we should never have repu-
dated our obligation. The old
saying that honesty Is the best
policy" Is beng very forcibly IL
Illustrated in this case. If congress

THE SILVER CITY METHOD.

The people Of Silver City have
a very neighborly, business-like
way Of managing their city gov
eminent. Down there they adopt
the sensible plan of laying all par
tisan politics aside and working
together for the common veal of
the community. Thus it happens
that each year, about twenty days
prior to the city election, the citi-
zens hold a mass meeting, openly
discuss the wants of the city, a
sewer here, a new street there, or
water and light matters, new side
walks, etc, and a general idea of
the needs Of the hour is thus con-
veyed to the property holders.
Then a mayor, two councilmen
and a member of the board of ed
ucation are nominated. Some
times there ID a second ticket in
the field, but not often. The best
men in the community usually
have the say in the mass meet
ing and they select men with re-
gard to their fitness to serve the
community rather than with any
idea of gaining a political victo-
ry. The people there met again
last week and performed this duty.
For the tenth consecutive year
they have chosen Hon. J. w.

to take hold and manage things
