Notes for Women
To Keen Out Moths

Should a clothes press, cupboard OF
storebox become infested with moths
1t is a good plan to have 1t scrubbed
out with a strong decoction of tobac-
co and then sprinkle It with spirits Of
camphor. The tobacco should be OF
the strongest kind cut in pieces, with
little hot water poured upon it. The
camphor may be prepared by simply
dissolving a few Jumps in methylated

A serious accident resulting almost
fatally to Brakeman Morrison oc-
Cured on the Yamhill division Of the

right leg and arm were crushed, and
he was otherwise painfully injured.
He was Immediately carried to the
caboose and hurried off to Portland,
where he was removed to a hospital.
Upon examination it was found
necessary to amputate the young
mans arm, but the surgeons hope to
save his leg.

WINS BOTH MEDALS
Polk County Mohair Takes Prizes
Over All Competition at st.
Louis Fair.

It was q proud day for Polk county
when the judges Of the great livestock
show in st. Louis awarded the prizes
for the best Angora goats to the
beautiful animals exhibited by Will
liam Riddell 4 Sons, Of Monmouth,
Oregon. Now comes the news from
the Fair city that Polk county wins
both the gold and silver medals for
the finest exhibit of mohair. U. s.
Grant, Of Dallas, wins the gold medal.
and William Riddell q Sons are the
proud captors Of the silver medal.
Mr.. Grants exhibit was arranged
in a beautiful and artistic manner,
and excited the admiration Of all who
had the privilege of seeing it before it
was sent to the Fair. The samples Of
mohair were mounted on card in
such a way as to attract particular
attention to the length Of fleece and
flneness of fibre. Each sample was
properly labeled, and the whole card
was surrounded by a handsome frame.
The exhibit was a highly creditable
piece Of work.
Not having seen the exhibit of Bid
dell g. Son, we are unable to give a
description Of it here, but it is safe to
say that the experts made no mistake
when they awarded the silver medal
to the Monmouth breeders.

DAMAGED BY FRESHET
Muir & Mcdonald Are Rebuilding
Tramway Between Dallas
SawmllI and Tanuery.

The recent high water swept away
long span Of the Muir & Mcdonald
bridge across the LaCreole river in
the north end Of town. The bridge
was used in conveying fuel from the
johnson sawmill to the Dallas tan
merry, and was built only few months
ago. The missing portion Of the
structure will be replaced at once by a
suspension bridge, witha main span
80 feet in length. The bridge will
support large pipe through which
sawdust and shavings will be blown
from the mill to the tannery. Dump
cars will be used in conveying the
fuel from the end of the pipe to the
boiler-room. The new bridge is being
built in a substantial manner, and
will be safer than the old structure in
that there will be no center pier to be
undermined by the swift current Of
the stream
The Dallas tannery is being oper-
ated to its full capacity and is shipping
an average Of twenty rolls Of saddle
leather each month The greater
portion Of the product goes to Dallas,
Texas, and Little Rock, Arkansas.

MONEY is THROWN AWAY
Present Method of Improving Roads
and Streets Should Be
Abandoned.

"The Register wonders where all the
mud that rests upon the streets of Eu-
gene comes from. There are other
places confronted with the same prob
lem. The problem will meyer cease
until some permanent pavement is
laid. While the income of the valley
towns is at the present figures, funds
can not be had for much paving. But
it would be economy in the end to lay
some permanent pavement every year
with the end some time in sight Of
having good streets throughout the
place. Albany Herald.
Commenting upon the foregoing
paragraph, the Salem Statesman says
Precisely correct. Salem has wasted
enough energy and money in
'monkeying' with a child's play
method Of improving its streets to
have easily paved every foot Of them
in its business center twice over. And
the worst of it is, there are those who
are actually stciving to continue it!
IF all the labor that has been placed
on the roads of Marion county during
the past forty years had been ex-
pended in grading and macadamizing,
every mile of them would now be In
f1rst-class condition for travel with
heavy loads the year around
Since everybody will admit this
fact, why not everybody agree to
abandon the makeshift, do-nothing
policy at once, and begin to push a
system that will show some permanent
results for the work done and money
expended?
"Many of the roads in Marion
county that were established forty
years ago are as muddy and difficult
to travel today as then. Nothing
whatever has been accomplished on
such roads by all the work that has
been thrown away in all these years,
And the same sluggish policy of re-
sultless labor is still employed on
Salem's streets. The improvements
put upon them in October will be
hauled away in April"
