The Ideal Family Laxative

Is one that can be used by the entire
family. young and old. weak and
strong, without any danger Of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose its effect altogether. These
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be
cause its ingredients are of the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill Is kept
for three years before being sold.
which allows them to mellow. We do
not believe there is laxative on the
market that Is SO carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pill your grandparents
used. They have been in use for over
a century and are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or
sugar coated.

these streets. There was a large at
tendance both of the property holders
concerned and citizens of the town.
The meeting was presided over by
Acting Mayor W. NJ. Hair and the
object of the conference and the plan
OF the council for carrying cut and
paying for the proposed street i'm
provement was fully explained by
City Attorney A. G. Hough. Judge
j. o. Booth led in the discussion and
opposed paving the streets, stating
that he was heartily in favor of all
public improvements but just at this
time he thought to pave these streets
was burden that the property holders
could not well undertake. Many of
them had given literally to the sub
sidy TO the Grants Pass and Takilma
railroad, as well as to other undertake
ings, a fruit cannery and creamery
were undertakings helpful to the city
that needed the backing of the citizens
of Grants Pass. Then there were
poor property owners who could not
stand the assessments. Joseph Moss.
j. II. Williams. A. U. Barnard, and
George Colvig opposed the measure
on the same grounds as advanced by
Judge Booth.
Councilman Frank Fetsch led the
forces favorable to the street paving
and gave strong statement of the
advantages to the property owners and
to the city by proposed improvement.
August Fetsch and ]. d Fry also
spoke in favor of the paving PROPOSE
tion. \ vote being taken the decision
was two TO one against the paving
proposition.

A MAN OF LEISURE
TAKES UP SH0PLIFTING
Steals Clothing and Lands In
County jail Enroute to the
Penitentiary.

The hearing took place Wednesday
forenoon before Justice Clements of
Mark Smith on charge of larceny.
Smith had H. d. Norton as his at
torney, but the state was not repre-
sened though District Attorney Reames
had been notified. After hearing the.
evidence Justice Clements placed
Smith under $500 bonds for his ap.
pearance in the circuit court and he
now languishes in the county Jail as
he could find no one to go his bond.
Smith has been in Grants Pass for
the past six months, with no special
occupation and boarded at the Layton.
He made some purchases of clothing
during the Winter at the store of Geo.
O. Stanley. His cash being gone and
his credit likewise Mr.. Stanley re.
fused to sell him more goods, but
Smith on his continued visits to the
store appeared with new articles of
clothing on that looked very much
such as Mr.. Stanley had in stock the
latter grew suspicious and swore ont a
seach warrant and when Smiths room
was searched a general collection of
shirts, ties, suspenders, shoes, etc was
found. He had carefully removed the
tags yet Mr.. Stanley was able to
identify most of them. Smith told
such improbable stories of how he
came into possession of the articles
that he is certain of term in the
penitentiary.

Hop Growers In Hard Luck.

G. G.. Ament shipped Wednesday
his last years hop crop OF 20 bales.
He got 10 cents pound which just
leaves him even on cost of growing
and putting the hops in the bale and
the insurance with nothing for the
use Of the land. This sale cleans up
all the hops in Rogue River Valley
except II bales. All the previous
sales we're made at from seven to II
cents pound. price that is ruinous
to the growers
The hop yield for this year prom
ises to be good in the yards that are
being we'll cared for, but only about
70 per cent of the acreage in Rogue
River Valley is being thoroughly cul-
tivated and trained. A number Of
yards have only had partial oultiva-
tion and number Of others are not
beng cared for at all, while several
small yards have been dug up. With
the dealers by their gambling schemes
getting all the profits and with no
general market as with grain, hay or
butter, few big brewing companies
controlling the worlds consumption
and market the outlook for the luck
less bopgrower is not very encourag-
ing. If the plan tried last Fall of
putting hops in cold storage proves a
success, as there Is every reason to
expect. the day for high priced hops
is past for the brewers will buy NJ
cheap hops and hold them over to ust
during succeeding periods of short
age Of yield. We're the hopgrowers tC

chance of keeping themselves from

neither millstones of the buyer and the
brewer. But hopgrowers are like al
other farmers they are shy of unions
and cooperation and that power to bC

the fruit and dairy industry in Rogu,
River Valley, the products of which
are not readily controlled by the mar
ket manipulations of dealers.
