had been laid during the year. He
thought the street work should be of
a permanent nature instead of the
present system Of patching up road
here and there.
Alderman Kinsley Twining criti-
cised the police for what he termed
their dilatoriness in not keeping the
sidewalks free of ice and snow, assert
ing that it was their duty to see that
property owners cleaned their walks
and if they did not to place them un-
der arrest and have them fined. AL
derman John N. Conkling Yentured
the opinion that it was not the duty
the police but OF the street commits
sioner. How can you expect the
street commissioner, busy with clean
ing cutters and other work after every
fall Of snow, to go'from house to house
and tell people to clean their walks,
said Alderman Day, the police are
patrollins the streets anyway and have
the time to do this work. " Alderman
Twining said the police are hired to
enforce the laws and town ordinances
and the street commissioner has his
duties, and whether specified in the
ordinances or not 1t is the duty of the
police to enforce them. A motion to
instruct Town Counsel Edward K.
Mills to collect copies of the ordir-
ances regarding snow on sidewalks and
send them to Chief of Police ]. Frank
Holloway was passed.
! Alderman Day brought up the ques
tion of laying the sewer laterals, as
serting that under the sewer act of
1902 the board can pass an ordinance
directing the laying of the laterals by
the individual property owners, but
pointing out that few would do so UNI
less compelled. He proposed that the
cou lsel prepare an amendment to the
act so that the aldermen can let a con-
atrct for the whole work of latera
laying and get it down and over with,
assessing the cost against the property
and giving the property owner from
three TO five years to pay for the work.
The counsel was directed TO prepare
such an amendment and get it before
the next legislature.
Alderman Day thanked the other
members of the board and the mayor
| for courtesies extended to him during
his term Of Office and said that he re-
gretted to leave the board at this time
when so much for improvement of the
town had been accomplished in the
past few years and so much is 10 view
to be done. Mayor Bennell also spoke
in similar strain. Alderman Mowery
said he desired to record the high APP
probation in which the services of
Mayor Bennett and Aldermen Day and
i Mesler's are held for their very efficient
services rendered the town.
| After Alderman Revere had moved
the passage of resolution that the
board of health and the tree commits
sion be asked for an annual report tie
board adjourned to meet on Thursday
ievening, December 3lst.

copied and His Work Commended.

Rev. Mr.. Horsman's Resignation Acc
cepted and His Work Commended.
At a meeting Of the First Baptist
church, held on Thursday letter was
read from the pastor, Rev. Oliver G.
Horsman, in which he stated that
while gratefully appreciating the ac-

With feelings of deep regret, realizing
that in losing the services CT our pas
tor we are parting with one who
for nearly three years has labored
earnestly for our good, and by every

the interests of this church and the
spiritual welfare of its members one
who by his preaching and by his work
among us has ministered faithfully to
our religious life, one who by his gen.
ial, cordial. sympathetic nature has
endeared himself to us all
Further resolved, That we hereby
extend to our pastor, in taking up his
new work, the Godspeed of this church,
and its earnest prayers, not only for

examine an eye.
We mean exactly what
we say.
Ifyou have ever had your
eyes tested for glasses, you
know the methods used by
people who claim to ex-
anime the eyes and fit
glasses, and they all use
the same methods, no mat
ter where you go, to tie high

confused that you cannot
tell which glasses are COR
rect.
After your Optician does
a lot of guessing and has
your eyes all out of shape,
you think you have been
examined.
Think this over and you
can readily see that you
have been doing your own
examining, and that is no
doubt the reason you have
had trouble to get glasses

who have been examined
for glasses by men who
claim to examine eyes by
the old, incorrect way, which
is done by everyone who
supplies glasses but us, will
be agreeably surprised by
our scientific and wonder

glasses. We correct your
eye defects by looking in
the eyes, taking the exact
scientific measurements Of
the focus and shape of the
eyes.

RECIPE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Directions to Prepare Simple, Yet
Remarkable Home Mixture.

There is so much rheumatism here in
our neighborhood now that the follow
ing advice by an eminent authority,
who writes Tor readers of a large east
ern paper, will be highly appreciate
by those who suffer:
Get from any good pharmacy one-half
ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, oe
ounce Compound Ksrgon, three ounces
OF Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake
these well in bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses alter each meal and at
bedtime; also drink plenty of good wa.
ter.
1t il claimed that there are few VIC
tins of this dread and torturous disease
who will fail to find ready relief in this
simple homemade mixture, and in
most cases a permanent cure is the re-
suit.
This simple recipe is said to strength
en- and cleanse the eliminating tissues
of the Kidneys, so that they can tilter
and strain from the blood and system
the poisons, acids and waste matter,
which cause not only rheumatism, but
numerous other diseases. Every man
or woman here who feels that their
kidneys are not healthy and active, or
who suffers from any urinary trouble
whatever, should not hesitate to make
up this mixture, as it is certain to do
much good, and may save you from
much misery and suffering after while.
Our home druggists say that they will
either supply the ingredients or mix the
prescription ready to take If our read
ers ask them.

Wedding Out the Asylum.

Salem-Government officials went
to Salem last week and took into
custody Miku Luokkala, a native OF
Finland, who was recently committed
to the asylum from Clatsop county.
Luokkala was a sailor, a foreigner,
and insane, when he entered this
country, and under the immigration
laws could not legally be permitted
to enter and remain. He was, how
ever, put ashore from the ship on
which he was serving and the local
authorities sent him to the asylum.
The government officials will deport
him. Care will be taken in future
to see that foreigners who are in
sane at the time of their arrival be
not permitted to remain In this
country.

IOGGERs IN A DILEMMA.
Removal of Duty on British Column
bia Logs Is the Last Straw.

Seattle, Wash, April 13.-Timber
land owners and loggers are viewing
the situation with alarm. The re-
cent removal of the So export duty
on British Columbia logs bids fair
to drive prices even lower than at
present, and by well-known loggers
the statement is made that rather
than submit to a further reduction
the majority of the camps will be
closed.
That the lumber and logging In
terests are getting a cross-dre from
three sides is the view they take OF
th situation. The rate litigation was
bad enough and the closing dowl
of so many mills has had a bad ef-
feet on the logging situation.
Then loggers and timber land
owners have had their assessments
increased many fold in many in
stances. County Assessors have
levied on thousands of feet of stand
ing timber not before assessed and
they promise to go even further'
Then comes the prospective further
drop In prices resulting from the
removal of the export duty on British
