float bonds in the sum of $3.50, 900
with which to resume construction
work on the line extending from

Line and Union Pacific at Burns.
In submitting his application to
Corporation Commissioner Schulder-
man, Mr.. Strahorn said, II was es.
genital that construction work on

that approximately 700 carloads Of
cattle already are awaiting shipment
over the line. in addition to the pro-
duct OF more than 20 mills. most Of
which are now in operation.
The road is being constructed In
units, and upon completion will

Eagle Point Wants
Service Improved

Two b'jadred patrons OF the Ea-
gle Point postoffice have sent a Pc
tition to Congressman w. c. Haw-
ley, protesting against the present
mail service, and asking her immedi-
ate relief from what is characterized
as unsatisfactory"
The petition sets forth that de-
spite the increase in business at the
Eagle Point office, the service has
been decreased. The chief complaint
is that the people receive today's
mail tomorrow, though within easy
distance of Medford, the dlstribut.
ing point. The mail auto now leaves
Medford at $3.50 a. m. This is the
only mail and deprives Eagle Point
of daily Portland papers. Up to June
30 they received two mails daily,
and the petition asks that this SER
vice be restored, with the addition
of mail Sunday forenoon.

Visiting Editor
Enjoyed Dinner

One OF the ineffaceable and hap
py memory that will be carried
home by the eastern editors who
we're in attendance at the annual
session of the National Editorial as
sociation this year will be OF the
splendid dinner which was served
&c them in the beautiful Lithia

ing. This bountiful dinner was pre-
pared and served by the ladies of
Ashland and sponsored by the COM
mercial organizations of Ashland
Medford and Grants Pess. It :. was
an Oregon products" dinner, many
of the viands being supplied by the
Oregon manufacturers thereof, as
compliment to the eastern visitors,
and included long list Of products
as well as fresh vegetables and
fruits of southern Oregon growth
which means the best In the world,
All was daintily prepared and ele-
gantly and generously served.
The visitors had Just returned
from that world wonder, Crater
Lake, where they spent the previous
night, and after the long ride In the
open air sharpened appetites added
zest to the enjoyment of the feast.
This, together with the announce.
ment that the special train was to
leave soon for Portland with the
party, caused the post prandlal ora
tory to be brief, pointed and witty.
The visitors were accompanied to
Crater Lake by Governor and Mrs.
Olcott, President ingalls,, Acting
Secretary e. =. Brodie, Past Pres!-
dent Albert Tozier and other men,
bers of the Oregon Editorial asso-
citation. The visitors voiced only
praise for this scenic
wonder. They also expressed uni

Situation Becoming Acute.

Summed up, the teachers in the city
schools are no nearer a solution OF their
problem than heretofore; the board of
education Is, as 1t stated before, with
out funds and without means of in
creasing its revenue; the city commits
sion can not increase the amount OF
money allotted to the board Of educa-
tom; a representative of one of the
civic organizations has expressed the
opinion that that particular %organiza-
fion will not raise the money by public
subscription and despite the fact that
all Of these bodies agree that the teach
ers should have more money, they offer
the board of education no solution of
the problem.
The meeting Tuesday afternoon in
which the board Of education and The
education committee OF the CharmfsAr
of Commerce will participate, will De
watched with interest. Many of the
teachers are plainly dissatisfied, and "A
strike is not at all improbable. !
1t is pointed out that the increase
granted the teachers last year when
they called a strike was based on the
anticipated increase given the board OF
education by the legislature. There is
to be no session of the Legislature
until 1891, and for that reason this
Ncourse could not be followed in the
| event of a strike at this time.
II a strike is called, members OF the
board of education and the superin-
tendent declare that they Will immedi-
ateiy close all of the schools, declare
! the positions of the strikers vacant and
do the very best they can to secure 9TH

Thin, Nervous People
Need BitrO Phosphate

Weak, thin people-men or women
are nearly always nervous wrecks; thus
co~nclusively proving that thihness,
weakness, debility and neurasthenia are
almost invariably due to nerve starva-
ton. Feed yOrr nerves and all these
symptoms due to nerve starvation will
disappear,
Eminent specialists state that one Ct
the best things for the nerves Is an
organic phosphate known among drug
gists AS Bitro-~P Phosphate. a fiVe-grain
tablet of which should be taken with
each meal Being genuine nerve
builder and not a stlmulant or habit
forming drug, Bitro- Phosphate can be
safely taken by the weakest and most
delicate sufferer, and the results fol-
lowing its use are often simply aston

BY strengthening the nerves. weak,
tired people regain energy and vigor,
thinness and angularity give way to

Plan for $50 Men to Pledge
Or Give $1,000 Each-No
Other Solution.

Interested In having the salaries Of

be given an opportunity to demonstrate
the extent of their interest Tuesday
afternoon, when the education commit
tee of the Chamber of Commerce and
the city board of education will confer
in reference to the matter. Hardwig

write a loan of 81, 600 each, or give that
amount. II the board Of education can
secure that AMOUNT of money the sala-
ries of the teachers can be raised, al
least for this year, he stated.
This statement followed a prolonged
discussion of the question Monday night
which was brought to the attention of
the board by Dan Wolf, representing the
City club. Mr.. Wolf stated that the
City club had gone on record as favor
ing an increase for the teachers. He
charged the board of education with
passing the buck' to the city commits

burden on the Legislature. He did not
believe the City club would raise the
money by public subscription, but in
