his family including his son Ernest,

his neck is stiG, so that ho cannot
move his head at all But, TO offset
this misfortune, he has face as

Building Operations in Grants Pass.

This is season of great building
activity in Grants Pass. The carpen-
ter's hammer and saw and the mason s
trowel are building up Grants Pass in
manner that bids much for the city,
Notwithstanding the fact that this
has been an "off year" for builders,
more houses are being erected than
ever before in the towns history in
the same space of time. The burning
of the Sugar Pine factory and lumber
yards was a serious impediment to
building in Grants Pass, as it has
made the matter of getting material
slow and has caused many annoying
waits. However, the mills have been
slowly catching up with their orders
and the delays will become shorter
and of less frequency. There has not
been an over-supply of carpenters
either, in Grants Pass this past sum
mer, and even now there are contract
ors in the city having trouble in get
ting journeymen enough to aid them
in their work.
The leading building being con-
structed is the Masonic Temple This
magnif,e ,ent three-story brick struct-
ure is fast assuming proportions The
brick work is all done and the car
penters are hard at work with the in
terror. 1t was originally intended to
complete the temple by Dec. % but
the burning of the Sugar Pine mills
which cut off the lumber supply, and
other unavoidable delays, will make
it impossible to finish the building
by that time. 1t will not be com
pleted before February. This splon-

NOT COD-LIVER OIL

but SCOTS emulsion of cod,
liver oil. They are not the
same; far from it.
SCOTS emulsion is cod-liver
oil prepared for the stomach.
Let cod-liver oil alone if you
need it. When your physician
orders toast, do you breakfast

Pure cod-liver oil is hard to
take and hard to digest. A
man that can keep it down,
can saw wood. He thinks he
is sick; he is lazy.

to the Masonic fraternity but to the
entire city.
Judge Brewer is putting up one

Court house. The brick work on the
building is completed and the roof is

BEER AT ELLIS ISLAND.
An amendment to the immigration
bill which was passed by the HousC
of Representatives, was offered by Mr.
Bowersock, of Kansas, at the request
of the Reform Bureau prohibiting the
sale of intoxicating liquors in any inn
migrant station. II was instantly at
tackled by the representatives. who hav,
come to bo recognized as the cham
pions of beer-Shattuck Of Ohio; Bar
tholdt Of Missouri, and Others. Mr.
Shattuck offered an amendment allow
ing the sale of beer in immigrant sta
tions under the direction of the secre,
tary of the treasury. The debate was
Of iarcical character, consisting
chiefly of poetic flights on the beauties
Of the German beer garden. the right
OF personal liberty, and similar topics.
The most striking argument OF all in
favor Of continuing the sale Of beer at
Ellis Island, was that Of Mr.. Adams,
otherwise unknown TO fame, who in
goniously maintained that since the
most desirable immigrants are those
from Germany and tho Scandinavian
countries, the sale Of beer must be con
tinued, else these incoming foreigners
will take oifenso at the failure to pur-
chase their national beverage while
waiting at the pier, and will warn
their friends at home not TO come.
An animated dialogue between Mr..
Shattuc and Mr.. lands, OF Indiana,
resulted In the giving and taking of a
dare on the somewhat irrelevant sub
Joct Of the sale Of liquor in the capitol
at Washington. Each gentleman pro.
claimed himself in favor of driving
the congressional bar out Of tho base
ment and each agreed TO vote for a
measure If the other would introduce
IT, After the adoption Of the section
prohibiting the sale Of intoxicants at
Immigrant stations, Mr.. Lands offered
another section extending the same
principle to the capitol; and though
the latter was clearly not germane TO
the bill, and therefore would ordinar-
lily have been Immediately ruled out
by the chairman, owing to peculiar
parliamentary situation the point Of
order made against Mr. Landis amend.
ment came too late to be accepted by
the chair. His section was therefore
adopted, in the committee Of the whole,
by vote Of 1903 to 49, The vote is
evidently to be interpreted either as
Joke or as a bid for popularity by many
Of those who participated, inasmuch
as Of course such an irrelevant section
cannot remain In the bill and pass
through the Senate. But the debate
brought out clearly enough the incon-
sistency and folly Of the sheltering of
a saloon in the national capitol, and
perhaps opened way for a re-onact.
ment of this prohibitive measure in
another form at some later date. The
other section, relating to immigrant
stations, will probably remain in the
bill, and thus one conspicuous abuse
OF the government service will be
remedied. Tho Standard

a feature of the westward freight
shipments is the large number of
new locomotives en- route for Western

THE POSSIBILITIES DEVELOPED.
Tho success of the Disc typo of
Graphoplone which uses fiat, in
destructible records, is largely due to
the fact that the Columbia Phono.
graph Company, pioneers and leaders
in the talking machine art, has de-
veloped the possibilities in both the
machines and tho records beyond all
expectations. 1t was able to do this
because it is the only company in the
talking machine field having COM
plete laboratory and "a manufacturing
plant on broad and comprehensive
basis Its facilities for experiment
tation and for manufacturing are ON
a very large scale. Il does not have
to rely ON inexperienced manu-
facturers for any part Of the product

machines and its own records from
start to finish which is fundamental
