BLAMED
FOR MORPHIA HABIT

New York, Nov 9.-Blame for tie
prevalence and growth of the NOR
phine habit was placed on the shout
ders of physicians who prescribe the
drug, at meeting of druggists held
here Monday night to protest against
the recently enacted city ordinance
prohibiting the sale at retail of any
preparation containing morphine or
its salts, except upon a doctors pre-
scription. The ordinance is aimed
primarily at paregoric and ut stom-
ach remedies, according TO members
Of the board of health who were in
strumental in obtaining its passage.
A statement issued by the druggists
IS as follows:
I'm our opinion, the main causes
for the morphine habit, are the in
discriminate use of narcotics by ply.
clans and the use of narcotics for
recovery from the effects of alcohol
ISM"
Caswell A. Mayo, one of the drug
gists. said he had made a canvass by
mail of number of sanitariums and
the replies had convinced him that
90 per cent of the victims of drues
formed the habit as a result of using
prescriptions given by physicians go
only eight per cent from using nro-
prietary medicines.

narrowly escaped death at 3 o'clock
Tuesday morning in an encounter
with two negro chicken thieves. The
officer was walking along Coperni-
cious avenue when he was confronted
by a burly negro coming out of a
gate at Mrs. Adolph Creiger's resi-
dence. The negro had a sack and the
officer, becoming suspicious, covered
the man with his pistol and command
ed him to throw up his hands. In
the meantime the negro's accomplice
discovered his pals" predicament
and slipped upon the officer and
grabbed him from behind. The off
Ger then called for Mr.. Stiles, living
next door, who secured a pistol and
went to the assistance of the officer.
The thieves. seeing that aid was
coming, succeeded in breaking away
from Wingfield and ran. AS they did
so Wingfeld shot at them several
times and they returned the fire.
Residents of Gretna having been
greatly pestered by chicken thieves
of late. The negroes are believed to
be desperate characters and it is be-
lieved that Mr.. Stiles timely appear

serious injury.

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
not only very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cement-like sub
stance in the joints frequently ter1ni-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim a
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor " thespot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use liniments, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets fr1ner hold ON the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease tccause it is
the greatest Of al blood pa fers. 1t

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inilamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachan Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and then it is entirely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.

OREGON is GROWING
Development and Progress Are Noted
on Every Hand.

PORTLAND, Or, April Especially
The sale of the big land grant of the
Willamette Valley and Cascade Noun
tain Road company during the past
week to capitalists said to represent
the Hill interests indicates to many
that the reported Pacific Coast out
let for the Burlington will become a
reality. 1t is believed Hill will build
west from Billings, the present termi-
nus, to Boise and thence westward
through Ontario and across Oregon to
Coos Bay. The purchase price of this
big land grant will run up into the
millions. If its purchase by Hill can be
confirmed, and this railway is built, 1t
will mean a great development for
Oregon, for 1t will open up the most
isolated sections to settlement.
1t is expected to complete the jetty
at the mouth of the Columbia River
this season. Work starts today on ex-
tending it further, and the dredge
Chinook will operate on the bar during
the Summer BY the time the work
stops in November, it is expected to |
have a depth of 80 feet on the bar at |
low tide.
One of the big wheat farms of the |
state was sold the past week when the |
lands of the J. A. Woolery estate, in
Morrow County, passed to a syndicate
of North Dakota bankers. The sale in
cluded 10000 acres and the price paid
was s150,00O. 1t will be cut up into
small farms.
The purchase of big tract of tim
ber land on the Siuslaw River during
the past week by Porter Bros, believ-
ed to represent J. J. Hill, strengthens
the belief that the east and west line
across Oregon will be built.
The biggest shipment of spraying
material ever sent to any fruit dis
trict in Oregon was received during
the past week at Medford, when co.
600 pounds arrived. 1t will be used to {
fight fruit pests In the Rogue River {
Valley. Q
An Open River and Freight Rate {
will be held at Albany on
April IA. 1t will be largely attended. :
