ECZEMA ITCHED' so /

4 suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by
little pimples breaking out. / kept
scratching till the blood came. 1t
kept getting worse, couldn't sleep
nights any more. 1t kept itching for
about month, then went to doc
tor and got some liquid to take. It
seemed as if / was going to get bet
ter. The itching stopped for about
three days, but when it started again
was even worse than before. The &C.

it any more. went to doctor and
he gave me some medicine, but it
didn't do any good. We have been
having Cuticura Remedies in the
house, so decided to try them.
had been using Cuticura Soap, so
got me box of Cuticura Ointment,
and washed off the affected part with
Cuticura Soap three times day, and
then put the Cuticura Ointment on.
The first day l put it on, it relieved
me of itching SO could sleep all that
night. It took about a week, then /
could see the scab come off. l kept
the treatment up for three weeks, and
my eczema was cured.
MY brother got his face burned
with gunpowder, and he used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. The peo-
pie all thought he would have scars,
but you can't see that he ever had
his face burned. 1t was simply awful
to look at before the Cuticura Rem
edies (Soap and Ointment) cured it."

young sister asked him to translate
a sign she had seen of an opticians

Jack struggled manfully with it for
several minutes and gave it up.
There are some words in it that

BIG PLANS AT MEETING
OF COMMERCIAL CLUB

The meeting of the Commercial
club Monday night resulted in the
appointment of committees to con-
slider matters that are Of vital i'm
portance to this city.
A committee of seven was appoint-
ed to look after the matter Of adver-
tising. The members of the COM
mittee were to consult the various
methods used In advertising CAM
paigns, and were to make all neces-
sary arrangements for the publication
of pamphlets and other printed mat
ter.
One Of the big propositions brought
up at the meeting was the question
of encouraging factories by offering
free power to such enterprises. A
committee was appointed to look into
the matter and also to take the ne
cessary steps for the improvement Of
the city water.
The greater part Of the meeting
last night was taken up with a red
hot discussion on how to get the peo-
pie to come this way.
Mr.. Anderson made a rousing plea
for greater cooperation with the
mining interests Of Josephine county.
He claimed that this city was not
givingthose interests a square deal,
and that It is Of the intensest import
ance to let outsiders know Of the
wealth Of our mineral resources.
It is expected that at the next reg
ular meeting Of the club the reports
Of the committees will result In q
number Of progressive measures that
viii mean much to the prosperity Of
Grants Pass.

WILLAMETTE VALLEY
THREATENED BY FLOOD

SALEM, Oregon, Jan. 19.--
One of the most disastrous floods
that has visited Salem in years is
that which is raging at the present
time, and the conditions are grow
ing worse hourly with no signs of
abatement. Already many homes
have been devastated, livestock kill
ed, and one life Is known to have
been lost, and there were numerous
narrow escapes from death by
drowning and many sensational res
cues were made. All Of the bridges
in the city, with the exception of
two or three substantial concrete
structures, have gone down before
the furies of the steadily increasing
volume of water; water and gas
mains have been washed out and
broken, leaving scores of families
without water and light, and many
portions of the city are effectually
cut off from fire protection by rea-
son of the washing out of the
bridges within the city limits.
At late hour this morning the
stage of the river at this point, with
a rainfall of over five inches In As
hours, the greatest in years, was 16
feet, rise of three feet In three
hours, and 1t is still rising. Indica-
tions are that the record of over 81
feet above low water mark, attained
last year, will be broken.
]. P. Albert, president of the Cap
itol National bank, was one of the
first to reach the scene with 100

but was forced back by the current.
When Mr.. Goodenough reached the
tree In which Smith was imprisoned
he found him stunned and dazed
and had difficulty in inducing Smith
Ito release his hold upon the young
fir tree. The rescuers finally pull
ed him loose and started for the
shore with him. The hold upon the
aged man, however, was wrenched
loose by his own struggles and he
disappeared beneath the raging cur
rent. His body has not been recov
cred.

Engineer Thompson Visits Grants
Pass and Is Pleased With
Outlook

James R. Thompson, consulting
engineer for the Welch electric rail-
roads, spent the day in this city look
ing over the lay of the land and max
ing preliminary arrangements for the
building of the electric line connect
ing Grants Pass, Medford and Ash
land.
AS the franchise expires by the
first of next month the work on the
road must be begun by that time.
The work l. Icing rushed at Med
ford.
DR.. Reddy left Saturday for New
York; But Judge e. e. Kelly, his at
torney, in an interview with a Med
ford Sun reporter, said:
1--WE shall not ask for the fran
chise which we expected to do. The
man for whom DR.. Reddy Is acting
does not care to enter any scramble
for place on Medford's streets. We
will let the matter rest for a while
where 1t is"
The electric line, when completed
will be the most eloquent booster
for this section of the state. 1t viii
be an invaluable aid In building uT
the country lying between the cities
of Grants Pass, Medford and Ash
land.
Those who have lived In the large
cities will realize how important It 4
to have interurban transportation
facilities. 1t will mean that stop
could be made at almost any con
venient point between Grants Pas
and Ashland. II will mean that eacl
of these cities will gradually built
up suburban residential sections tina
will correspond, on a smaller scale
to those surrounding Seattle an,
Portland and other leading coas
cities.
The history of interurban rail
roads In the east shows conclusivel
that without such transportation
conveniences there can be no rea
growth. The wonderful progress o
such cities as Utica, Syracuse an

GRANTS PASS HOPS ARE
HERALDED WORLDS BEST

The following item clipped from
Thursdays Evening Telegram shows
in what esteem this city is held as
a bop grower:
-" FINEST HOPS IN THE WORLD ="
Grants Pass Lot Praised by London
Dealers.
1.-THE finest crop of hops grown in
the world this season was produced
in Oregon. The crop was that of
Horace X. Moses, of Grants Pass,
grown on what is known as the Reh-
kopf place. The hops were shipped
by Klaber, Wolf & Meter to Lon
don. This firm received a letter yes
terday stating that the hops were the
finest that have been shown on the
London market in years. Nothing
produced in England, Germany or
Bohemia, according to the London
authorities, could compare with these
Oregon hops in beauty Of appearance,
rich flavor or high brewing qualities. I"
This is one of the finest compli-
ments ever paid to this city, and Mr..
Moses may be justly proud of the
honor conferred on him by this flat
tering opinion of the London deal
ers.
Mr.. Moses has lived in Grants
Pass little less than a year, but in
that time he has demonstrated his
ability as master farmer. The
surprising thing about his success is,
that Mr.. Moses Is city man who,
prior to coming to Grants Pass, was
manufacturer in Philadelphia. But
he has made good and deserves all
the credit given him.
1t is a peculiar coincidence that
Mr.. Shank's orchard, known as the
Old Eisman orchards, is opposite Mr.
Moses hop farm. A few weeks ago Mr.
Shank received a letter from the
leading fruit brokers In London ask.
ing him to ship a carload Of apples
to Bradford, England.
That letter to Mr.. Shank is mos
significant, for It means Grants
Pass orchardist was chosen from the
many on account Of the superior quail
ity of the apples and the service tha
attended the shipping, etc. -,
The Rehkoqf farm of Mr.. Moses
and the old Eisman orchard, of Mr.
Shank, are both 5 miles west of thi
city; but they are on oppisite side
of the river.
