Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
re caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
! Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

WRITES TO
GOVERNOR

That Governor Hawley, Of Idaho,
believed Governor Vests announce
ment that he would ride from here to
Boise when the time arrived for him
to attend the governors convention
which will be held there in the fall is
evidenced by a letter received by the
governor this morning He declares,
however, that he has found out that 1t
was not bluff; that he is still game
The letter is as follows:
81 have just received yours Of the
9Th, inst. l am pleased to hear from
you. l am rather glad you were not
running bluff when you told me you
would ride into Idaho on horseback
to attend the governors conference
here. l thought you were, and there
fore called you, and said would meet
you at the staet line. Finding that
you meant what you said am not go
ing to take the back track, but Will do
exactly what l said l would do, un-
les you decline my company m the
trip from Ontario. You say You are
going to preach the gospel of good
roads en- route. You will find in trav-
cling over them that nowhere ire SER
mons on this subject needed mole
than in Idaho, and If you will make a
few talks here on the subject | would
be pleased to offer a prayer for your
success, and a benediction endorsing
your good roads theories do not
desire to take any part in such meet
ings, as | will be in the attitude Of a
learner not an instructor.
"Kindly advise me whether you
eAI1ct to have Il party with yen III
your ride to Boise l would like tC
imw as it might be oaa sGrous t
roc' too many representatives OF tx
+. Webfoot state unless l had some O.
my own people present at the time.

whole Indian villages swept away by
the eruption of Chiriqui Peak, near
BOcas del Terro, Panama, according
to story Of Captain Olsvik Of the
United Fruit steamer Fort Morgan,
which arrived here today
Captain olsvik says the eruption
occurred April 8, early in the morn
ing, while the Fort Morgan was
berthed near Bocas del Terro, and
that he witnessed flames shooting
from the peak
Reports Of the large casualty list
were brought from the immediate
scene to Bocas del Terro by refugees
who escaped the onrushing lava. He
says they watched the eruption April
g., when he put to sea,
Even far out on the gull, Captain
olsylk says, he saw evidence Of the
disturbed elements, The sea was
affected In many places and the air
was filled with smoke and dust far
out into the gulf.
Captain Olsyik says inhabitants OF
Bocas del Terro were panlc-stricken
believing that place might be over,
run with the lava that was belchinl
forth from the peak ChirlQui peak
as far as known, never has shown
volcauis activity, and the sudden

Speech on Popular Government
Attention is called to advertising
given Oregon by the Bourne speech
on popular government Of May 1910,
OF which 2,7O0,OOO copies were sent
out, and to his advocacy Of postal
savings banks, the parcels post a
corporation net earnings tax, a bust
ness methods commission for the ma
tlonal government. and high duty
on oregon hops. He Is further re-
ferred to as the originator of the
presidential primary idea, he having
paid the expense Of initiating the first
law of that kind in the United States
in the form OF the oregon law ol

Some Of the Things Senator
Bourne Has Done" is the title Of a
leaaet to be mailed generally TO the
registered Republican voters of Multi
nomah counpty and other parts Of
the state within the next few days.
The argument is signed by Dan Kel-
lahor, ]. Frank sinnot and George
NJ. Orton
In the introduction II is asserted
that unfriendly newspapers have sup
pressed news that told Of what Sen
ator Bourne has accomplished for
oregon. Attention Is called to the
fact that Bourne is making no cam
paign, has no manager no cards and
no paid boosters, and II is stated that
afIldayits will be filed to show that
the four-page argument is distributed
without expense to Bourne.
Advantageous committee positions
held by Bourne are pointed out as
the most important committee places
ever held by q senator from oregon,
being such as new senator ordi-
narlly would not attain In less than
10 or 10 years. Regarding commit
tee places II is said
Committee Places.
a. He Is chairman of the senate
committee on postollces and post
roads, one Of the most Important
committees in the senate, This COM
mittee passes on appropriations ag-
gregatlng about sSOO,OOO,OOO every
year As chairman OF this commit
tee, Senator Bourne spent his yaca-
tion last summer gathering the most
comprehensive data on parcels post
ever assembled That Is why he did
not have time TO come 10 Oregon
and fix up his political fences. When
he is given a Job, he sticks to II
"2 senator Bourne is member OF
the fisheries committee and second IN
rank, This committee has much tC
do with one Of 0regons most i'm

planted In YaQuina Bay and which
promises to furnish q new industr!
10 the state. That is how he hal
Just secured 100000 trout for IN,

plains how the Bourne bill appropri

hatchery on the Columbia passed tn

20 Senator Bourne Ia member O
the commerce committee, rankin
fourth This Is the most lmportan
committee IN the senate 30 far q
Oregon is concerned, This commit
