Application to Dust Them Is Denied
 Justice Guy.

New York, August 31.-An applica- ton to oust the curb brokers from Broad street has been denied by Jus tice Guy in the supreme court. James A. Allen, a lawyer, with offices near the spot where the brokers transact their business, was the applicant. He said the brokers made so much noise in the street that it seriously inter- fered with the conduct of his business. Counsel for the brokers submitted
 affidavits from other tenants in the vicinity, testifying that they were not at all disturbed by the curb bfokers.

Treasure.
ZoA-PHoRA
For Maiden, Wife and Mother-Watcl,
First Indications of Disease or
Derangement OF the
Delicate Organs.

Dear daughter, sister, wife or moth
er, do you realize that health is more
10 you and your family than all other
earthly blessings? Do you know
that to have perfect health and keep
it should be your greatest desire?
Why? Because health-a woman's
normal health-will enable you to be
and to do and to feel just as a woman
should. That's what you want, isn't
It?
Now listen! Zoa-Phora is made for
women. 1t is admirably adapted to
assist nature in building UP her del
icate and beautifully constructed con-
stitution. For the well and slightly
ailing 1t is a nerve tonic and tissue
builder. 1t contains no opiate or mar
cotic drug to injure the system and Is
used with perfect safety by the young
daughter, wife or mother. For the
more seriously afflicted-women suf-
fering with any form of womanly
weakness or disease-Zoa-Ph -Phora is
worth its weight in gold, as is testi-
fled by women everywhere. Hun
dreds of these women live in your
own state-some of them right in
your own neighborhood. Ask them
about Zoa-Phora.
On March T. 1908, Miss Retta Grif-
fifth of Columbiaville, Mich, wrote, "I
will gladly send my testimonial for
Zoa-Phora, as the greatest, most
strengthening tonic have ever known
for women. l suffered with leucor-
rhea and painful menses for nearly six
years. / took different kinds Of
medicines and doctored with three
different doctors, but they did me no
good. They said / would have to
have an operation, but thanks to
Zoa-P -Phora, 1t has nearly stopped the
pain and has entirely cured the dis
charge. l was so weak when I be-
gan taking your medicine that could
not sit up a whole day at a time, but
now I am entirely we'll" On April
IS, 1907, Miss Griffith writes, "You
may refer any one to me and I will
still gladly recommend Zoa-Phora." !"
Does this not prove that the results
from the use of Zoa-Phora are per-
manent7
The best way to become assured
that Zoa-Phora will help you is to go
to your druggist and obtain a bottle
and begin the treatment at once ac-
cording to plain directions found in
the package. Just ask for zoa-Phora

pared, compounded In just the right
proportions, and put up sealed, ster-
rilized, one dollar bottles.

members of the Oregon rifle team
bound for Port Clinton, Ohio, to at
tend the national rifle shoot. The
party consisted of IS men. 15 of them
marksmen and three officers.
Adjutant-General w. E. FINER was
In personal command of the expedi-
ton. Captain Settlemier of Wood

Last year at Seagert. New Jersey,
the Oregon riflemen finished ahead
of 23 of the AZ teams entered in the

is every reason to predict even more
flattering results. The marksmen
have had more practice and have
made far better showings than ever
before In the preliminary tryouts.
Furthermore, the start this year is
being made so as to give the team
nearly a week on the national range
prior to the beginning of the actual

The report of the committee on
Oregon standard policy form which
was appointed by the fire underwrit-
ers of the Pacific coast to confer
with the insurance commissioner Of
the state Of Oregon, placed a copy Of
their report into the hands Of the
secretary of state yesterday, says the
Salem Capital Journal of the 14th.
The conference was the result Of
law passed by the 1907 legislature
providing that a standard form of
policy should be used after October
/ by all fire insurance companies do
ing business in the state Of Oregon.
The most important question at the
conference was the provision allow
ing the companies to add other con-
ditions under certain circumstances.
That part of the law reads as fol-
lows:
ANY fire insurance company, cor
poration or association. its officers or
agents. may add to such conditions
other conditions, provisions and agree
ments not in conflict with law, or
contrary to public policy; but such
conditions SO added shall be printed
in type double in size from the size
in which the conditions hereinbefore
referred to are printed, and in a diff
ferent color of ink from which such
conditions SO referred to are print
ed, and the same shall Immediately
follow such conditions SO referred to.
Nothing contained in section ]
shall be construed as prohibiting any
fire insurance company, corporation
or association, its officers or agents,
from assuming additional fire risks,
or granting unto the assured addition
al permits or privileges with regard to
the property thereby assured"
The prescribed form of policy has
already been issued by the insurance

more than $3.50 for each subsequent
offense. While the commissioner will
find it necessary to fully enforce the
law, he is anxious that the change
may be attended with as little con-
venience to the companies, agents
and polocies as possible. After he
had examined the report of the COM
mittee of the board of underwriters
he decided that nothing was compris-
ed in 1t which he considered contrary
to the laws of Oregon.

IRRIGATION CONGRESS.
National Celebrities VIII Take Part
In Program.

The program of the 18th National
Irrigation Congress is beginning to as
sumo definite shape. 1t promises to
be one of unusual strength and inter-
est. 1t includes the names of many
men of national prominence. One Of
the star features of the program Will
be an address by Vice President Fair
banks, who can always be counted
upon to speak forcefully on the sub
ject of the irrigation movement. Sem
ator Newlands of Nevada, author of
the national reclamation act, has con-
sented to address the congress. Other
eminent statesmen are on the list.
The Inland Waterways commits
sion, recently appointed by President
Roosevelt will be represented by n
majority of its members. This COM
mission has in hand one of the most
important functions ever entrusted to
a national commission of the same
character. Its mission and work will
be explained and the relation of the
resultant benefits to every national
material interest pointed out.
Hon. F. H. Newell, director of the
national reclamation service, is pre-
pairing a lecture on the work of the
service. The address will be profuse-
ly illustrated with stereopticon views
of the various projects in progress of
construction under the auspices of
the department of the interior.
A number of spirited and illuminat-
ing debates have been arranged be-
tween prominent advocates OF the
new national policies of irrigation
and forestry, and their administra-
tion, and no less prominent critics OF
both. This ought to prove a valuable
feature of the proceedings of the con-
gress.

commissioner. It consists of four
pages. On the first page is the guar
antee to make good all losses to the
property described in the simplest
language possible and underneath 1t
the statement that this policy is sub
ject to all provisions made by the
laws of Oregon. The parts of which
relate to fire insurance are printed on
page 2, written up and down the
page toward page 8. On page 3, i'm
mediately below these is a space for
the extra provisions which must be
printed In different colored ink and
in twice the size of type as the pro-
Visions of the Oregon law. The re-
maindcr of the third page is left for
assignments of interest, waivers, re-
ceipts for premiums, etc. The last
page is reserved for the endorse
ments.
The conference first considered the
substitution of New York standard
policies for the Oregon form. The
two forms do not differ materially
and 1t was decided that as long as the
New York form lasted they would
be allowed, provided that the extra
conditions are printed in the manner
prescribed by the Oregon law. As
soon as the supply Of New York
forms is exhausted the commissioners
will require that the Oregon form
may be substituted. In using the New
York forms no deviation or omission
will be allowed.
1t was also decided that IL a type
writer or rubber stamp is used in
stead of the printing press 1t will be
no violation OF the provisions of the
act.
The following clauses are consider
ed restrictive and IL added must be in
the different ink and type mention
ed above: Co-insurance clause; elec-
value Cor loss) clause; volcano,
earthquake. or hurricane clause;
clear space clause; consequential
damage clause; sprinkler damage
clause; sprinkler warranty clause.
On the other hand, clauses similar
to the following are held to be in
favor Of the insured and there is no
condition as to color, size OF type or
position: The watchman clause, va
cancy permit clause. gasoline permits
with restrictions. On these the in
terests of the companies are fully
protected by the law and 1t is held
that their only effect can be to waise
the companies privileges.
The penalty for the violation Of the
new penalty is a fine OF not less than
s25 or more than 800 for the first
offense and not less than 800 or

AS the harvesting of the cereal
crops of California progresses reports
of the yield indicate that the returns
will be considerably below the estl-
mates made in the early part of the
year.
During the past month there have
been reports received in Frisco from
nearly all the business centers of the
grain growing sections and growers
as well as grain dealers and flour mill
owners, express pessimistic opinions
regarding the yield of wheat and bar
ley particularly and other grains to
| a less extent.
The crop prospects seem to have
been undergoing a sort of retrograde
movement, gradual but steady, for the
| past three or four months.
The San Francisco Chronicle dis
cussng the wheat crop says:
In round numbers the production
of wheat in 1906 was 325,900 tons,
which is one of the smallest crops
produced in this state; but the total
for 1907 1t is now known will fall
considerably below that low figure.
At this time the highest estimates
do not exceed 275,000 tons, while
there are some well informed author
tiles on grain who are positive in
their belief that the yield will not be
over 225,000 tons.
Probably the middle ground figure,
$50, 900 tons, is a fair estimate for the
wheat crop.
The early expectations for bounti-
full yield of barley were more favora-
BILE than for wheat, but returns indi-
cate that all estimates for barley will
have to be literally reduced.
Where 1t was anticipated the state
would produce over 100000 tons it
now seems certain the aggregate will
not reach 100000 tons, and there
are some of the local dealers who do
realized.
In some sections of the Sacramento
valley there will be no wheat what
ever. the ground being too wet to
plow during the sowing season, while
in others the plant made such a slow
growth that 1t is now being cut for
hay.
In the great San Joaquin valley
there was a large. decrease in the
acreage usually sowed to grain. and
the same may be said of southern
California.
Along what is known as the west
side of the San Joaquin there are
some localities where there will be a
fair yield.
The prospects for wheat and barley
are probably the best in the Salinas
valley and in portions of Colusa and
Glenn counties.
The farmers of the state who have
fair crops will, however be able to
sell their grain at remunerative prices.
The selling figures at present pre-
vailing are excellent from the grow
ers' standpoint, and as California will
be obliged to secure large quantities
of wheat from Oregon and Washing
ton during the coming year for actu-
al home requirements, there is little
probability that values will decline.
There is a steady growing demand
for California barley for export to
Europe, and even with the reduced
production there will be a reasonable
quantity available to satisfy this for
eign demand.
While the cereal crops of the state
are short the aggregate returns to
California will be partially made up
by the enhanced valuations.
In those parts of the state where
there has been a shortage in the
yield OF grain the deficiency has been
made up by other sources in income.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that IL
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachlan tube. When
this tube Is lnflamed you nave a rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t Is
entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal con.
dltlon, hearing will be destroyed forever |;
nine cases out OF 10 are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
