Home MADE MEDICINE
Best and Cheapest for Coughs

Most persons neglect cough or cold
for the principal reason that they either
don't think it serious enough to 90 to q
doctor, or don't know what good medi-
cine to buy at drug store, with the
result that the cough or cold b comes
deep-seated through this neglect and
hangs on the whole winter-which might
have otherwise been speedily cured, had
Schiffmann's Concentrated Expectorant
been used promptly.
This new remedy Is so strongly con-
centrated that two ounces $50 cents
WORTHY make full pint ZIG ozs. J of ex-
cellent cough medicine, by simply mix
ing 1t at home with one pint of granu-
lated sugar and u pint of water. 1t makes
whole family supply, as much as would
ordinarily cost from 500 to $500 for
the same quantity of the old, ordinary,
ready made kinds of doubtful merit.
1t is prepared from strictly harmless
plants and Is so pleasant that children
like to take 1t and it can be given them
with perfect safety as it positively con-
tains no chloroform, opium, morphine.
or other narcotics, as do most cough
mixtures. No risk whatever is~run in
buying this remedy as drug store named
below will refund money II it does not
give perfect satisfaction or Is not found
the very best remedy you have ever used
for stubborn Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
Group, Whooping Cough and Hoarse
ness. For sale here by

NOTICE FOR BIDS.

Notice is hereby given that the
County Court of Jackson County,
Oregon, will at its next regular meet
ing in February, to-wit, on the 3rd
day of February, 1915, take up for
consideration the proposals of auto
truck owners, for the hauling of
buckshot gravel from McAndrews
hill, near Medford, to various points
on the public highways within a
radius of ten miles therefrom.
The loading of the trucks will be
done by steam shovels at the expense
of Jackson county.
The actual amount of gravel to be
hauled cannot be definitely given at
this time, but it is probable that the
quantity will be sufficient to keep a
number of auto trucks going during
the entire season that is good for
road building.
The party submitting the bid will
be required to show the price per
yard per mile.
Address all bids to the under
signed marked Sealed Bids" The
County Court reserves the right to
reject any or all bids.

69-4t County Clerk.

City Owns Houses
On Boulevard

Chairman Ware OF a special COM
mittee consisting of Ware, Biegel
and Cornelius reported at the coun-
Gil meeting upon the matter of the
two houses on the Boulevard which
have recently become the property
of the city. The places in question
lie, one at the tlatiron at the corner
of Iowa street and the Boulevard
where the voting place for the dis
trict was formerly, the other directly
back of it and facing on the Boule-
ward. The owners were unable to
pay the pavement assessment and the
property reverted to the city.
Mr.. Ware recommended that $500
insurance be placed upon the smaller
building and $1,000 upon the larger.
He also said that while the larger
was at present renting for SIS per
month and would continue to bring
in this amount if about 500 were
spent in repairs, that if about $500
were spent the house could be mod
ernized and made into an attractive
residence which should rent for be-
tween $12 and SIS per month. The
house would then sell for $2,50O or
$4,000 under ordinary conditions.
This proposition was favorably re-
ceived by the council and will be def
initely decided at the next meeting.

STRICT REGULATIONS
TO PROTECT FARMERS

Rigid regulations for commission
merchants are prescribed in a bill
introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Blanchard of Josephine
county. The bill amends the present
law relating to commission mer-
chants and provides for the transfer
of jurisdiction over them from the
state railroad commission to the sec
retary of state. Provision is made
that before a commission merchant
can engage In business he must OBJ
tain license and give a bond that
he will faithfully report to all per-
cons consigning horticultural, agri-
cultural and viticultural produce
and farm products to him, and
promptly pay to each the proceeds of
all sales after deducting a commits
sion Of not more than per cent on
carload lots, and 10 per cent on
smaller lots, and actual disburse-
ments connected with the sale of the
produce.
Further it is provided that imme-
diately upon the receipt of con-
signment OF any article a commits
sion merchant shall make a detailed
report to the consignor of It's condi-
ton. and the market price. and that
he shall submit such reports until it
reaches the retailer. The license fee
is fixed at $40, and the secretary Of
state may increase the bond when
ever he sees fit.
II commission merchant fails to
make these reports his license may
be revoked, and II the consignor has
sustained loss he may recover on
the bond. In addition the commits
sion merchant may be convicted Of
a misdemeanor. For any licensed
commission merchant to receive any
produce knowing that he is insolvent
is made a felony. and the penalty is
fine OF not more than 81 900 or i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary not
exceeding two years, or both.

WANTS OLD PETITIONS
IN VAULTS DESTROYED

A resolution giving the secretary
of state authority to destroy all ini-
tiative and referendum petitions on
file in his office relating to meas
ures which have been submitted to
the people and defeated, and also all
petitions for the nomination of can
didates, who have been defeated, was
introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Davey of Harney county.
The reason for the introduction of
the resolution is that there are many
of these documents stored in the
state house and taking up much
space which could be used for other
purposes.

PLEDGES IN
HOUSE ARE SET ASIDE

The Oregon house after nearly
two days of discussion forgot the
pledges of economy made before the
session opened and threw the doors
wide open by allowing each member
of the house to appoint clerk or
stenographer.
While independent members put
up hard battle for the Eaton plan
and at times it appeared as though
the whole house intended to redeem
the pledges made for economy, a
majority of the members finally
lined up with the senate organization
and adopted the senate plan.
This came after the house in COM
mittee of the whole had adopted the
Eaton plan of hiring clerks and stem
ographers for groups of members,
thereby reducing the number used
far below those of the past But
Eaton, after winning that victory,
threw it away by introducing other
amendments to the report of the
committee on rules, and the organ
ization forces rallied their men, and
in the final vote the rule was adopt
ed, giving each member a clerk or
a stenographer. President Selling
supported Eaton's measure, saying
that he believed the amendment was
in favor of economy, and the house
should begin its program of economy
at home.

AERIAL TRAIL BREAKING.
Amazing Speed and Endurance of the
Wild Swan In Flight.

Amazing Speed and Endurance of the
Wild Swan In Flight.
1t is impossible for one who has seen
only the common mute swans floating
about in the artificial lakes Of city
parks to imagine the grandeur of d
flock of the great whistlers in their
wild state. In wild Life and the
Camera" Mr.. A. r. Dugmore says the
sight is one Of the most impressive in
nature. AS the huge birds rise into the
air it seems as If an aerial regatta
were being sailed overhead. the swans.
each with a wing spread of six or sew
en- feet, moving like yachts under full
sail
Once the swans are fairly under way
their speed Is amazing. nearly hum
'dred miles an honr. and that too. with
no apparent effort, for the slow wing
motion is very deceiving. Their en-
durance is rs surprising as their speed.
for they are said to travel thousand
miles without alightng.
The t1ocks are usually led by an old
and experienced swan. and 1t Is said
that as one becomes tired Of leading.
or it might be called aerial trail break.
ing, his place is taken by another
whose strength Is equal to the task.
and so they continue until they reach
their destination, the southern feeding
grounds Of the winter or the northern
breeding places OF the summer. Occa-
sionally they stop to rest In the region
Of the great lakes. Not many years
ago. while on their way north. large
number stopped above Nigara falls.
and more than a hundred were by
some. extraordinary mischance carried
over the falls and killed in the surg
ing waters.
Whether the swans prepare In any
special way for their southwark jour-
ney is not known, but before starting
north they indulge In the curious ha bit
known as "ballasting"-that is to say.
they eat great quantities Of sand, for
what purpose no one knows.
In the faraway Arctic ocean is their
breeding place. and It Is believed that
they mate for life. AS with so many
of the water birds. the swans protect
their eggs with covering Of down
scratched from their own breasts. so
that when the birds leave the nest the
two to six large. yellowish eggs are
hidden from the eyes of possible
thieves and protected against any sud.
den changes Of temperature.
1t is many years before the swans
are clothed In the feathers of immacu.
late whiteness that make them such
conspicuous objects of beauty. Not.
indeed. until the 6fth year does all
trace of gray disappear. Their first
feathers are entirely gray. Gradually
they tighten. becoming mottled with
white. the neck and head remaining
gray until after the body Is completely
white.

YEARLY TONNAGE TAX
ON MOTOR VEHICLES

An annual tonnage tax on motor
vehicles engaged in the transporta-
ton of freight, express, passengers
and baggage, and limiting the loads
to be hauled, is provided for in a
measure introduced by Representa-
tive Lewis in the house. Further,
the bill requires that on registering
with the secretary of state the own
er shall furnish a statement that the
vehicle is not to be operated in the
interest of any railroad, street car
line or boat line for the purpose of
eliminating independent competition
with such railroad, street car or boat
line. The license fee provided for is
based on the carrying capacity of the
car.
After the necessary incidental ex-
penses are deducted, the fees are to
be turned over by the state treasurer
to the county clerks and to become
a part of the county road fund. Own
ers of the vehicles covered by the
act must also file with the secretary
of state a statement showing the
points between which they operate
and the number of trips to be made
weekly. The loads prescribed vary
with the size of the tire of the vehi-
cles.

"You hear a boom miles away, hard

a fash, an immense crash and the air

Jagged humps Of iron. each making a
different sort OF shrieking noise. Then
phit-phit-phit everywhere as they hit
the ground.
