A Heavy Load to Garry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general ill-health. Why? Be
init the food to be properly digested, and
its products assimilated by the system.
The blood is charged with posons which
come from this disordered digestion, and
in turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms OF nerv-
business, sleeplessness and general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
sical exertion that does it, but poor stom-
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body is not protected against the attack
of germs of grip, bronchitis and consump-
tion. Fortify the body at once with DIR.

GROWING JET BLACK ROSES.
Englishman Discovers the Secret Long
Sought by Florists.

Englishman Discovers the Secret Long
Sought by Florists.
Florists in New York were greatly
interested to-day in the announcement
that an Englishman has discovered
how to grow jet black roses, feat
which has been vainly attempted for
many years. If a dozen of them could
be offered for sale to-day in the citl
leading florists agreed that there
would be no difficulty in obtaininS
81 900 for the bunch.
On a few estates along the Rhine
practically black roses have been
grown for the last ten years, but all
efforts to eliminate red'sh tint in the
center of the bud have so far failed.
No secret has been more closel:
guarded by the German gardeners
than this one of developing even
comparatively black flower. Visitors
are allowed to look at the bushes and
buds on special occasions, but what
ingredient has been pu. into the soil
to bring about the abnormal color has
not been told even to close friends.
In California a specialist has also
been partly successful in producing
roses practically black, but, according
to announcement in London, it remain
ed for a peddler of shoelaces to at
tain perfection. 1t was said to-day by
New York florists that undoubtedly
the color is the result of a chemical
introduced in the soil.
The same principle, however, is said
to be involved as in the development
of blue hydrangeas, which are pro-
duced by putting iron into the soil in
which the plants are grown.
The black blossoms would be most
popular as Indications of mourning,
but it was agreed by florists that the
day is yet distant when any one of the
freaks will be seen in their windows.

Mr.. Williams is now devoting his at.
tention to dairying and is getting a
baud of fine cows. He had an orchard
OF some four acres, but he is digging
up the trees as the expense of cultivat-
ing, pruning and spraying small or
chard is so great and the low prices
realized in marketing fruit in small
quantities leaves so little margin of
profit that he found that the land
would yield him more raising feed for
his COWS

Ed Lister To Operate Stages.

From what we can learn Ed Lister,
of Grants Pass, Ore, will receive the
contract for carrying the mail be.
tween that and this place. The de-
partment held up the lowest hid, the
contractor or contractors not being
residents Of this or the Southern
Oregon section. 1t is believed that
people having the present contract,
with headquarters in Portland. Ore,
were the lowest bidders and if they
are to be disqualified our people
will be pleased as they nave not boen
giving us good service, in particular
the past five months. On the other
hand IL Mr.. Lister receives the con.
tract he will fulfil all requirements -

Mr.. Lister has notification from the
postoffce department that he had been
awarded the contract. A feature that
is especially complimentary to Mr..
Listers ability to fulfill his contract
to the satisfaction of the postal
authorities and to the patrons Of the
offices served is that he was given the
contract though the present contract
ors snd two other bidders had lower
bids. This comes from Mr.. Lister
having previously handle u part Of
this route and the department and the
public never had occasion for com.
plaint.
Mr.. Lister takes the route July LIST
and he announces that he will give
tho best mail and passenger service
ever had on the Grants Pass and Ores
cent City line. He will put on large.

make fast time and prompt service.

NAMES WANTED ON
RURAL MAIL BOXES
Farmers Should Provide Suitable
Places For Stage Drivers
to Leave Mail On.

Now that residents along star mail
routes have their mail delivered and
taken up from private mail boxes, the
same as do those residing along rural
free delivery routes, they should be
made to conform to the same rules as
to loc alton and kind OF box used.
Every carrier for star route has a
complaint to make that so many of the
boxes are placed so that they are al
most inaccessible from the roadway,
or at least SO located that the mail
vehicle has to be driven down in a
ditch or on high bank in order that
the driver may place the mail in the
boxes or taSe up letters from them
without getting out.
The patrons Of the star routes should
be required to have regulation boxes
so that their mail would be safe and
out of the storms. A few have boxes
that will protect their mail, but the
most Of them nail an old broken box
to post or tree, or lay an old nail
keg on the fence This careless sys.
tenn is both an inconvenience and a
risk to the mail carrier, for the inac-
cessible location of the boxes causes
him needless delays that entail harder
driving in order to make his schedule
on time, and the open boxes tempt
mischievous children and pilfering
hobos to tamper with the mail. This
rifiing of a mail box might cause
serious trouble for the carrier for a
patron expecting letter or package
and getting none might learn through
the forwarding postoffice that it had
been given to the carrier for delivery
and theH this luckless fellow would
be called to account. The boxes on
the star routes in Josephine county
need all overhauling and all replaced
with regulation mail boxes and the
inconveniently located oues placed
where the stage can readily be driven
near them
