BEWARE OF "DIGESTIVES"
Only Way 10 Cure Stomach Dis
orders Is by strengthening
the Disestive Organs.

The ordinary dyspepsia tablet
has ruined more stomachs than all
other causes combined. Giving tenn
pora1y relief, it leaves the digestive
svstem weaker than ever, and the tab
let's must be continued with increas'
ing frequency.
The only way to completely cure
stomach troubles is by strengthening
the digestive organs with Mi-o'na
stomach tablet taken before meals
Used in this way Mi-o-na eScites the
secretion of gastric juice, and when
the food is swallowed, the stomach Is
ready to digest it.
Mi-o.na stomach tablets are never
sold in bulk, but in neat box con-
venient for the purse or vest pocket
at SOC
A guarantee is given by Demaray
with every box of Mi-c-na' tha'
money will be refunded II the remeos
fails to give satisfaction. This show
Demaray's faith in the merits OF tn'
remedy.

CANNOT STAND THE
MONSTER ENGINES
Pine Ties and Light Ballast Is
Said TO Cause Over
turned Rails.

A Telegram correspondent says ex.
perienced railroad men affirm that the
numerous wrecks the Southern Pacific
has been having recently are caused
by overturned rails. the last three
wrecks that have occurred in Cow
Greek Canyon having apparently been
from that cause. The company has
only lately installed heavy power
locomotives, which appear to be more.
powerful that the track will stand.
The ties are pine, soft and spongy,
and the ballast of light weight, with
the result that heavy train will
often turn rail over and ditch itself.
Another trouble is the lack of section
men. Their wages have been cut to
sl.S5 day, and it is hard to get men
to work for that rate. Some of the
section gangs have only the boss left,
and this at a time when there is more
need OF men than In the Summer,
when the track is in good shape.

Mr.. Cole on Coolies.
Grants Pass. Ore, Feb. l2,

Grants Pass. Ore, Feb 12, 1907
Editor Courier:
saw in the Oregonian of Feb
llth. that il is the intention Of the
officials of the S. P. R. r. to dis.
charge all white section men on their
lines in Oregon and to replace them
with Japs.
Now | am an American clear
through and I believe in America for
the Americans, both native and
naturalized white men and that they
should not be forcsd into competition
with cheap coolie labor. Now this
question is forced upon the working
men of Grants Pass aud also the bust.
ness men and what are you going to
do about it? 1t did not take them
very long to decide that matter in the
little town of Woodburn, Marion
county, for they promptly ordered the
Japs to leave and they left
Forty-fve Japs have been landed in
Ashland and are being herded there
now and are to be distributed as sec.
tion gangs through Southern Oregon.
Now this idea Of cheap labor is
catching; it has caught on in Cali
fornia and has become deeply rooted
and the labor unions havs been the
frst to bring that question before the
people for their serious consideration.
Now if the business men and the
working men of this city will tamely
submit to the importation of cheap
coolie labor, where will it end? How
long will it be until these factories
which are owned by California cor
porstion conclude that it might be
cheaper to hire Japs for 90 cents to
81 per day than to pay white labor
81 and So? Even our farmers and
fruit raisers might be struck with
the same limb.
Now what has our Grants Pass
Commercial Club to say about this
matter? We await their answer with
breathless expectation. 1t would be
80 easy for our business and pro.
fessionsl men who compose the club
to express their views on paper.
But when it comes to real action,
we generally have to depend on the
working men as they are always the
first to suffer.
Now, wish to state in conclusion,
that am not a professional agitator
nor an alsrmist. But 1 am pointing
out conditions as they actually exist
in California today and we know
from past experience that eternal
vigilence is the price Of safety.
