Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There 10
only one way to cure deafness, and that 10
by constitutional remedieR Deafness Is
caused by an infiamed condition OF the mu-
cous lining OF the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, Deafness Is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal condl-
tlOn, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out. of ten are caused by Catarfh.

For this class Of troubles the only
remedy Is 10 breed from the better

The prevention Of the second class
Of ailments comes under the general
head Of feeding" A chicken, wheth-
er young or old, to thrive we'll, must
have exercise, clean water, grit, q va
riety Of grain food, green or succu-
lent food, and casein or meat foods.
The food requirements Of Q laying
hen are very like those required by
a growing chicken. Yarded or shut.in
hens should be supplied with more
lime than the food contains, however.
to provide for the egg shell. Crushed
oyster shell IL much used for this
purpose.
The third class Of ailments belongs
to the group of contagious diseases.
These contagious diseases may be
grouped into the general classes:
First, those highly contagious; sec
ond. those contracted by fowls that
are in q weakened condition. Chicken
cholera is representative of the first
class. This is spread by droppingS

Facts Regarding
Springs Chemists

Who Are Smith, Emery & Co.?
Is the question thai many hav9
asked the mineral springs develop
ment committee After careful in
vestigation we answer: They are y
firm OF scientific and chemical en-
gineers operating their own plants
in San Francisco and Los Angeles
and doing an extensive business ais
over the world. They were first rec
commended to this committee by this
Oregon State Agricultural College at
Corvallis. The firm Is composed OF
five members, each an expert IN y
certain department, and they employ
corps OF experienced engineers.
chemists and bacteriologlsts solving
the problems OF sanitation and piping
OF waters, oil we'll and pipe lines.
cement testing, concrete inspecting.
assayers, metallurgists, etc.
Their commercial standing Is A L
and they have among their clientags
some of the largest mills, factories.
railroad companies and municipalities
on the coast.
They have complete charge of six
teen OF the largest municipal wat,.s
systems in the state Of California and
are considered the best authority or
waters of every description on tho
coast.
In their plant in San Francisco
they make a speciality of analY2inE
waters to determine their corrosive
acids, and make up and test formulas
for manufacturing metal pipe and
fixtures that will resist such minerals.
They also prescribe process of treat
ment for waters, rendering them suit
able for use in boilers and machinory.
They have had wide experience
in handling and piping waters OF all
kinds and are fully equipped to do
such work and guarantee IL.
These are the people that propose
to make the city n bid to install the
physical plant fer bringing the min
eral springs into Ashland and will

Charter Amendment
Election June 23

The date OF the election on the
charter amendment providing for the
commission to handle the mineral de-
velopment work has been fixed for
June %.
The council issued the call on Tues
day evening as prepared by the city
attorney without amendment and
with but little discussion.
City Attorney Moore was present
and explained to the council that the
charter makes no provision for spec
ial elections to select officers OF any
kind or character, and for this reason
1t would be necessary foT the naming
of the commissioners in the amend
ment to be voted upon, instead OF
holding an election on tho amend
ment to the charter and at the same
time or at later date voting upon
who the commissioners should be.
Mr.. Moore was convinced that the
commissioners should be named in
order that no question might be
raised as to the legality Of the cleo
tion for the approval or rejection of
the amendment.
Following the advice OF the city at
torney, the proposed amendment pro-
viding for the commissioners was
adopted without amendment, al
though Councilman Beaver desired
that the nominations be left open.
R. A. Minkler was named as com
missioner to serve for one year, J. p
Dodge for two years and B. r. Greer
for the three-year term.
Councilmen Cunningham, Ashcraft
Werth, Ware and Cornelius voted fol
the amendment, Mr.. Beaver voting
against it,
The proposed change in the charter
was altered in several slight particu'
lars from the draft presented a week
ago. In addition to the call as pub

faithful performance Of their duties
Another provision makes it impos
sible for the commission to expend ol
obligate the city for money in addi
tion to the amount of the bond issue
t and makes them responsible on theil
| bonds should this occur
l The amendment will thus be put III

posed appears in full as officially pub
lished in another column.

work reported that the work so far
completed on the Siskiyou division
had run from 500 to 1000 yards per
section under estimated cost, and that
the completed grade would probably
cost less than first estimated, as the
engineer in charge had found it pos
sible to save considerable by altera-
tions and departures from the sur
veyed line.
Engineer Kittredgs was requested
to prepare detailed statement for
publication, showing the cost of grad

their engineering department as con-
sulting engineers for the mineral
springs project, without cost to the
committee. AS soon as Smith, Emery
& Company finished their preliminary
estimate, their working details were
turned over to President Sproule of

checked by his assistant chief en-
gineer.
The committee asked Mr.. Sproule to
determine three main questions:
First-Whether the estimate of
Smith, Emery & Company was ap-
proximately correct.
Second-Whether the plans as pro-
posed by Smith, Emery & Company
were practical from an engineering
standpoint.
Third-Whether the plan proposed
by Smith, Emery & Company would
insure the delivery OF the water in
the park containing its mineral con-
stituents and gases, as at the source

Official Estimates
On Springs Development

Following is the official estimate
" cost on bringing in the mineral
springs. 1t would cost $4,000 alone
to bring in the Shepherd spring.
That was decided by the committee
be be too expensive, so it was cut out.
n 1t had been kept in it would have
cost more than $1S0,000 to bring In
NE springs without estimating any
thing for fountains and park improve
@ent; that would have required a
Aond issue of about $250,000, and
the committee considered that more
than Ashland could afford to vote
Aonds for. The committee is sure
that the matter as 1t is here present
-, if carried out ON the plan we con-
template, will make Ashland the best
watering resort in America.
Therefore, IL, the $175,000 bonds
are voted a sufficient fund will be
set aside to pay the first years in
forest on the bonds, 80 there will be
nO taxes levied for the purpose until
acter 1915. By that time q great
many new hotels, apartment houses
aAd furnished cottages will have been
Auilt and will help pay the taxes, the
arowds will be coming and business
will be stimulated, our people will be
Ole to sell their surplus property
sad the new purchasers will help pay
She interest. We deemed it adVis.
able in view of the tight times pre-
vailing throughout the country tc
make it so our people would not be
called upon next year to pay the in
forest on the bonds. Under this plan
10 people will have no taxes to pay
On the bonds till 1915.
