the kidneys and bladder are out of order

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect of Swamp.Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest be-

the expense of his own business
which often had to be neglected, ana
for the benefit of Grants Pass. and
the people Of this county. AS coun-
Gilman his far sightedness gave to us
an up-to-date telephone service. we
had an abominable system, twenty
wears behind the times and our
citizens were without hope of secur-
ing better service. When the
Citizens Telephone company asked
for a franchise and offered to guar
antee a service second to nothing In
the entire country, Mr.. Riggs said
In his place in the council that the
old company was taking the money
of the people without giving them
fair equivalent, and for that reason
he favored the new company. Other
members of the council Joined him
and q franchise was granted for an
lup-to-date telephone system Tor
Grants Pass. The mayor vetoed the
ordinance but the company asked
for the referendum, and in the mean
time the old company rushed materi-
al on the ground and commenced the
construction of an up-to-date sys-
TEN. Having secured this the ma
iority of the council were satisfied
and the appeal to the people went
no farther. We all realize today
that If Mr.. Riggs had not stood firm
the city would still be using the
worst system to be found anywhere.
/ Our service today, thanks to the
majority of the council, headed by
Mr.. Riggs, is the very best in use
in the country.

with the times. r. l.. Coe said that
he had been resident of Grants
Pass for 20 years and that there was
now more unity of action than at
any other time. He thought the
people were determined to build up
the city and the general business of
the town.
Mr.. Gilkey said that some man
must be found who was able and
loyal enough to the city to sacrifice
his time for the benefit of Grants
Pass, and that man must be one who
could be elected. Mr.. Durham also
made talk along the same line and
upon the necessity of choosing an
able candidate.
There was a motion by Mr.. Parker
to proceed in the selection of can
didate to be recommended for mayor.
He thought the proper way was to
proceed by ballot, permitting every
person present to write his choice
on ticket, and accordingly tellers
were appointed and a ballot taken.

Chief Engineer Hall, of the irriga-

not only in building irrigation canals
but In preparing the ground for the

ing important information to water
users which We take pleasure in CIV
ing in full, which is as follows.
u wish to urge upon all who in
tend to use water the coming season
for irrigation to get their land in
shape this winter DO not set out
an orchard without first having
brought the land to a grade so that
every tree can be watered This
does not mean that the slope must
be uniform, but that If a knoll or
ridge is higher that the surrounding
ground It should be cut down. In
many places throughout the valley
Young orchards are now growing
that seem to have been planted with
regard to nothing except that the
trees be In straight rows. As soon AS
irrigation is attempted the difficult
ties will begin The trees on the hills
viii burn and those in the holes will
drown, Much of this can still be
remedied, Remove the trees where
necessary, grade the ground and
then reset them. When planning
your laterals bear in mind that Il is

UNION THANKSGIVING
SERVICE THURSDAY

The union Thanksgiving service
will be held in the Newman M. r..
church Thursday, November 25, at
IL a. m. The sermon will be given
by Rev. Mr. Dllls, pastor of the M.
E. church, South All the pastors
Of the city will take part in the
services.
1t is customary to take an offering
at these services for benevolent work
in the city, the fund thus obtained
being placed at the disposal of the
Ministerial Association. The plan Of
the association Is to investigate all
cases of distress and need and when
those in need are affiliated with any
church, to turn the case over to that
church Where they have no church
relation the association relieves the
necessity from the common fund.
Let the people make thank-offer-
ing as the Lord has blessed them.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1909.
WILL BRING BIG SALES.

without doubt one OF the most
important matters to be looked after
now is the clearing up of the old
orchards in the county. This Will
be in the interest of the owners Of
such properties, who lost altogether
during the past season the sale Of
not less than 100000 worth of fruit
by scale, Goblin moth and bitter rot.
To some the loss stated may seem
over estimated, but these are the
figures OF Fruit Inspector Burke,
who assures us the loss is over rather
than under the amount mentioned.
The Importance of this crusade for
clean fruit which the inspector is
now making can hardly be over
stated, as It will not only affect the
orchards operated on but the clean
orchards which are in danger of con-
tamination If the diseases are not
eradicated without delay. 1t seems
strange that there should be owners
Of orchards who refuse to spray their
trees and thus prevent the ravages
OF these diseases which mean loss,
and yet there are men of this kind.
They have little idea of the injury
they cause to others as well as them
selves.
The man who has smallpox in his
family and exposes his neighbors to
the disease Is not regarded as a good
citizen and yet he Is no worse than
the man who scatters fruit diseases
broadcast among the orchards of the
county causing great loss and injury
to those who live near him,
The law should require the in
spector to put up disease flag on
every orchard where the owner per.
sIsts in refusing to spray, Blight,
scale and nearly all the fruit diseases
are contagious In character and the
Inspector Is n health officer and he
should be clothed with the same au-
thority as the health officer of the
city, county or state, who looks after
the contagious diseases of humanity
and hangs out flag at the homes
where these diseases exist The next
legislature should amend the fruit
inspector law in this particular and
thus do great service to fruit
growers generally. The fruit COM
missioners of the state are deter
mined that the law shall be enforced
to the very letter and they ask the
county courts to appoint inspectors
who Will do their duty In this
county inspection is going on with
great energy and It is to be hoped !
the county commissioners will give
the needed financial assistance to
the inspector so that he may take |
out all trees where the owner refuses
to spray or clean diseased trees.
An example Is needed now and the !
Inspector should be encouraged to
act promptly and with great decision.
This will never become fruit grow
Ing county Of importance unless there
Is close inspection and prompt action.
The county court, we trust, will do
Its full duty as well as the inspector.

First Ballot.

When Mr.. Tufts name was men
toned he declared that he was not a
candidate and could not be induced
to accept nomination, and that #
was useless to urge him. The chair
man stated that all were working for
the best interest Of the city and no
one had right to refuse the nomina-
tlon.
Some one moved that all but the
three highest be dropped and that n
second ballot be taken. Mr.. Kin
ney objected to this saving that an
candidates had a right to be voted
for until choice was made. This
was finally agreed TO when the sec.
ond ballot was taken.

She had been suffering with sore eyes anG had been using some eye water which the doctor bad prepared for her and had the bottle containing the fluid on a shelf where it would be handy whenever she wanted it. She on entering the room did not make a light but reached for the supposed eye water bottle and poured three drops into each eye. She then went to bed, but fai ed to find rest as her eyes began to pain her badly and all the lime getting worse until they became almost unbearable. She got up and lit the lamp and discovered that she h q got hold of d bottle con aiming carboIic acid. Her eyes were eaten quite badly but are healing slowly.
 Phoenix Republican: K. Moore, territorial superintendent of public insturtion and superin- lendent of the department of education for the territorial fair, spent part of yesterday brushing the cobwebS out of that portion of the exhibition hall at the fair ground to be devoted to the purposes of his department. Mir. Moore says he feels sure there will be ine display in his depar ment during the fair. He has received assurances from the schools in most of he large towns in the territory that they will all send exhibits. There may not be as many exhibits from the smaller schools as heretofore, which is deplored, but it Is expected the quality will be equal, if not better than in former years. Some of the smaller schools and those in distant parts feel that the trouble and expense is greater than Is warranted by the premiums they might possibly take, all of which is to be regretted, for ill this department, as in all olh. CTS, there is desire to make quaI- ity count, wherever it comes from and regardless of quantity.

The Presidents Answer.

Those members of the national House
of Representatives who wanted to
know why the President said certain
things in his annual message about
Investigations by secret service men.
ought to be satisfied now. His special
message, transmitted to Congress,
Monday, is explicit enough along this
line, and there is no lack of Soundness
in the conclusions he draws with char
acteristic emphasis. He makes ii
plain that he made no charges OF cor
ruption against Congress, or any indi-
viGual member of Congress, but that
he wants an efficient secret service
whose agents the government may use
against crime and criminals whenever
government interests are involved. He
urges that the secret service be made
a bureau in the department of justice
and given an adequate appropriation
Tor it's needs. Those who thought that
President Roosevelt would be embar-
res.--l by the resolution of Congress
calling for information and an eXpla-
nation are now the ones to be embar-
raised. He knew what he was doing
feet. Also Oh the corns of his enemies.

Retiring County Officials.

The new year witnessed the retire
mont from office of several Kcnnebec
county officials who have had long
terms of service. Judge G. T. Stevens
has presided over the probate depart
mont for sixteen years, and has maze
a record Of which any official might
Justly feel proud. The same may bt
said of the efficient register of pro-
bate w. A. Ncwcomb, who has beer
with him during the greater part OF
his long term in the office. Another
retiring county official who has had a
long term of service, covering 20 years
with a fine record of efficiency is Coun-
ty Treasurer ]. f. Blanchard. Other
officials who retire have, we believe
served but a single term. To one and
all the Journal extends it's cordial best
wishes for future happiness and sue
