An interesting competition was seen
on one Of the roads on the outskirts OF
the city last week when a steamer tour
ing car came upon a gasolene touring
car at the foot OF long hill. The
steamer promoters build largely on the
ability Of their machines to climb hills.
and the driver OF the hill-climbing car
undertook to pass the gasolene machine
before reaching the summit OF the in
cline Although the rivals started to-
gether. the steamer was Outclassed from
the start, and the gasolene machine
finished nearly square ahead Of it's
competitor on a Hill which was but
four blocks long. While the impromptu
race does not discount the hil-clmbing
powers of the steamers, il would seem
10 prove that tho gasolene cars are
Just as efficient in this respect.

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.

Treatment Of HyomeI.

Bronchial troubles are purely To-

stomach dosing. They are caused by
irritation in the air passages and can
be relieved and cured by medicated
air alone. In this lies the secret OF
the great success Of Hy-o-mei In the
treatment of bronchial troubles.
The Hy-o-mei medication. laden
with natures remedies, is breathed
through the neat pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit, reaching
every part of the bronchial tubes
and killing at once the disease
germs. 1t allays all irrigation and
heals the inflammation Of the mu-
Scous membrane with astonishing ra-
pidity.
Treatment with sprays, douches
is condemned by the best physicians
rs they cause further irritation.
The first breath of Hy-o-mei's
medicated air seems to sooth the in
flammation, stop the cough, and
thus relief soon becomes permanent
and e cure results.

The Salem Journal says of the
acute labor situation in Salem and
vicinity:
The existence of labor troubles at
Salem and in Marion county has been
known to employers for some time,
but crisis was not reached until at
the end of last week, when action
was taken by the Salem Carpenters
union, leading to partial solution.
Hop growers and ranchers gener-
ally have been hard pushed to get
farm hands. Marion county has had
to practically suspend building high
ways on account of the scarcity CT
men and teams. Especially was the
county work hindered by inability
to get convict labor that had been
expected to crush rock and carry on
several much-needed extensions.
A larger force than ever before is
employed on the state stove works, as
the legislature made provision for
the employment of three gangs OF
convicts under some old statute or
custom, that provides for the work.
ing of convicts on the state institu-
tions.
Laws passed at the last session
provided employment of convicts at
the state fair grounds, under the
state fair board, to build sheds and
new buildings, to cost the state $20,-
900. Another force was authorized
TO help construct the new wing at
the state insane asylum, and to make
million brick.
The legislature also made pro-
vision to clear the ground, make the
excavations and do other work at the
new state institution for the feeble
minded. All these new employments
for the convicts have made such a
demand upon their time and services
that none can be had for building
highways.
Carpenters Union Acts.
Salem Carpenters union had a
large meeting Saturday night and
considered the whole labor situation
at Salem, and finally took action in
appointing a committee to wait on
the state officials, and see what
could be done to divert the employ
ment of convict labor on state jobs
and allow only free labor to be TN
ployed 1T the state fair grounds and
