Saved by a poo.

Many years ago a Thames waterman
was sleeping i'll his boat near Hammer
smith when, just as the tide was
turning and the water began to ebb,
the boat broke from it's moorings and
drifted away. 1t was carried along so
silently by the tide that the man was
oot reused, but slept on while the boat
was caught under the bows of barge
and begansto fill with water. But for.
tunately the man had bis dog with him
n the boat, and the faithful animal
saw the danger which threatened its
sleeping master. 1T began to tug at the
collar of his coat and gently scratched
bis face. BY these means 1t succeeded
ID waking him, and the man was able
to save the boat and escape from
drowning.

A DANGEROUS THING.
Never Take Medicine That Is Recon-
nended bv Friends

Never Take Medicine That Is Recon-
mended by Friends.
II Is very common thing among wo-
men that they will take medicine which
Is recommended by friends and also
give it to their children without in-
yestigating its formula.
They will have prescriptions reflled
which another woman's physician has
recommended for her particular case
or take up what remains in ber bottle.
This is most dangerous practice
and should not be continued. If ply
sician has written prescription for
his patient he understands her par
ticular case and is not prescribing for
any one else who wishes to take 1t.
He may not only give her medicine
for what she thinks she needs. but
may give her drugs which she needs
and knows nothing about.
1t may be something to strengthen
the heart or other organ OF the body,
some drug which would be very harm
ful to another person, or opiates may
be in the formula which would have
an entirely different and disastrous ef-
feet upon another constitution.
1t is very dangerous practice for
yourself. but in all common sense do
not give such things to your children.
If your child is sick and you do not
understand what to do, call a ply.
sician and let him prescribe na4hh
right way, even If it does cost more
money.
BY this 1t does not mean that the
doctor has to be called for every small
ailment Of the child, but II the child ID
really sick you will know It. Do not
risk the child's health BY giving IL
things which you do not understand
and which, may be poisonous to II.
You are running 2 tery.bis risk by do.

ROAD DRAGGING.
How the Inventor of the King Drag
Discovered His Method

d. Ward King of Maitland, Mo-. in
ventor of the King method of road
dragging, has a theory which practice
has demonstrated to be correct. 1t is
that all clay and gumbo roads should
be dragged with light drag after each
Pain or wet spell. The drag smooths
down the rough places and fills up the
ruts. When the sun dries up the road
it leaves roadbed as smooth and per-
feet as a city street
The discovery of this method and the
more important discovery of Mr.. King
were largely accidental. Years ago he
lived on a small but we'll improved
farm near Maitland. He was not par
ticularly interested in the good road
but the four miles of road from his
farm to Maitland We're of great interest
to him, says the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat. The road was of that soft, sticky
red clay that in wet weather clings to
the wagon wheels in great Jumps and
dry weather is as hard as a rock and
almost as injurious to wagon tires.

dig deep ruts. and when the road dried
up the ruts would remain At best the
road was very poor. Many times when
wheat was selling at good price and
Mr. King had many bushels of it the
road would be so bad that he could
not haul it to the market, and when
the road finally became passable the
market would be low again.
After many experiments he con-
structed a small, light drag. using two
old timbers connected with light strips.
and began to drag, the road in front of
his residence. After each rain he
would run the drag over 1t, and when
the sun came out and the road dried
up it was in perfect condition. When
he began to drag the road many of his
neighbors told other neighbors that
King was crazy. Others told King
himself that he was crazy. Others
who did not say anything believed he
was crazy. But the experiments proved

IMPROVEMENTS AT ALMEDA,

The announcement is made that the
Almeda Mines Company will put In a
large dam at or near Almedu that will
generate power for their own and
other mines In that section. The COM
pany will also build an electric road
from Almeda TO some point on the
Southern Pacific. The road Is ne
cessity in mining on largo scale.
These improvements will give the
Galioe Mining district a big boom as
quite a number of properties will be
worked extensively as soon as power
can be secured.
The Rogue River when harnessed
will supply all the power needed at
the mines around Galioe, no matter
how extensive the demand. These
modern methods will be great help
to the many who are mining in that
locality. Grants Pass should take n
lively interest in the development OF
that district and see to 1t that the
proposed electric road is built TO this
point. This matter is referred to
the Commercial Club for immediate
action.

BAD FIRE AT MERLIN
THURSDAY EVENING
Two Persons Burned and May
Die. Richa rds Store and Lodg-
ins House Destroyed.

A disastrous fire occurred at Merlin
Thursday evening few minutes be-
fore 10 o'clock, and besides the damage
to property. two lives may be lost at
consequence. The Richards lodging
house and store are a total loss, and
Mrs. Richards, wife of the proprietor
is in a precarious condition, having
been badly burned about the head face
and shoulders and at this writing il
still unconscious. Mr.. Richards was
burned about the head and on the
hands but not SO severely. A lodger,
by name of McKuhn, in whose room
the blaze started, is also terribly
burned and it is feared will die.
J. Nightw inc was in Grants Pass
yesterday. having come in after some
clothes to replace those lost in the fire
and in speaking of che fire he said
that he was lying down in his room
in the lodging house looking over

chased, and about 9;45 heard some.
thing drop, and Judging from the
sound, thinks it must have been a
candle.
In few minutes he smelled smoke
AMI Immediately called to the roomer
ext to him from whence the smoke
came and in which he had head the
candle drop, but the occupant Of this
room was asleep as he could hear his
deep breathing and occasionally a
snore. Not being able to awaken
him he tried to break in the door
which was securely fastened by a
bolt, but this was too heavy. In the
meantime he had given the alarm OF
fire and Mr.. Richards and his wife
had both come to the scene. Their
combined efforts awakened the sleeper
who Immediately began trying to
beat out the flames, bat he seemed to
be too much excited to unbolt the
door. This was finally forced open
and they found McKuhn almost over
come with the smoke and badly
burned. They dragged him out and by
shis time the entire building was in
flames. As 1t was constructed OF
pitchy lumber and was very dry II
burned like tinder. The rescuers
hastily made their way to other parts
Of the building to see that everyone
else was out and then tried to save
what they could of their belongings,
but it was too late and in their efforts
both Mr.. and Mrs. Richards were
burned, as stated above.
The fre quickly spread and but for
the prompt formation of bucket
brigade the adjoining buildings would
have been quickly consumed. but
they worked faithfully and kept the
flames confined to the Richards build
ing which was entirely consumed

AN IMPORTANT SUGGESTION

The Importance OF standing by
the Commercial Club should be ap-
parent to every business man in
Grants Pass and every property
owner in Josephine County. The
Commercial Club is doing good
work but 1t lacks the funds to do
many things that should be done
to bring capital to this city and
county. The business and profess
sional men OF this city should unite
with the farmers OF the surround
ing country and provide con
siderable sum for the use Of inc
club in order that The world may
know more OF our matchless soil
equable climate and the great OPP
portunities offered those who are
evely day looking for homes In the
West.
The good people Of the city of
Eugene seem to understand these
things. Last year they raised
$4,000 as an advertising fund
and this year they have just com
pleted the raising of a snug sum
of $4,000 for :he same purpof'
II is needless to say chat Eugene
is one OF the most progressive
towns In Oregon and Grants Pass
would be in the same class II our
Commercial Club was properly sub
piled with funds wherewith to place
before the world our many advan-
tages as a fruit growing and farm
ing country. II Eugene finds 1t
good policy advertise on large
scale Grants Pass can safely follow
suit, Think this matter over,
reader. and propose plan for rails
ing necessary funds.
