Kvtm Local Observer Hell Is beginning to wonder when a llttlo'of tbo "good old summer time ' will put In an appearance. Ttosoburg's paved streets are look ing tine. Their cond.tfnn at the pres ent time could not be Improved upon but very little, tho work of the street Cleaning department, assisted by the recent haevy rains, have done away with much of the accumulated mud. Otis sister city, Grants Pans, seems to have been visited by so mo mem ber of th Black Hand Gang. It Is to be deplored that Individuals who innke tin eats against lire or attempt to abduct children cannot be upfKidily hunted down and treated ns a vicious animal. The Rvenlng News nti!ls continues to grow. Barely a month old and Its advertising coldiuns tire crowded with bright, newsy ads. from tho wide-awake merchants of tho city, compell ing the management at Intervals to issue an extra sheet In order to give 1U readers tho news. Wo venturo to tay, without contradiction, that no other dally newspaper In the Btate has met with more encouragement than The Kveulug News. That It Is welcomed to tho field is evidenced by tho constant increasing number of how subscribers being received rlgh along and the excellent business ac - corded it In the advertising way. Through the Twlco-a-veek News andlcelve bids for tho purpose of the said iho evening edition you can get to almost every homo la Hoscburg and Douglas county. At a meeting of tho county assess ors In Salem, which Is in progress at the preeent, it was stated that If every one would glvo a correct list of llioir taxable property to the iisscHunr that tho levy to maintain the govurn ' m en t would not necessarily be more than ono and one half mills. While the estimate Is pretty low, It Is pos fdhle that such a levy would bo suf ficient. However, since the average taxpayor feels It Is necessary to place a low valuo on his holdings when (he assessor visits him, and some to for get that they nave any taxable prop erty at all, the only thing that can bo done Is to levy enough to meet tho expenses of the government. The claim that many do not give hi cor rect nut of notes, bonds, money and other property that Is not readily found by the assessor, Is probably correct In tho ma I n, therefore t he fanner, the merchant, and those who property is llkn an open hook, must pay tho bills and maintain a stable government tc protect, not. only themselves, but tho unfair Individual as well.

Parsons, of this city, wife of a prominent real estate dealer, which demand $1000 In gold, und aft a penally for her full uro to turn over tho money, the life of her husband is threat'Mied, and the fiend also states he will put out the eyes of her little son. The money must be paid by 5 o'clock Friday af ternoon. The lady is very naturally In agony of fear. Although the Black Hand writer cautioned the lady not to make known his dejjnmds, uhe no titled the authorities, who believe that they have sufficient evidence to make arrant a. Careful watch has been kept of the boy, and officers carefully guard the Parsons' resi dence at night. Mrd. Parsons "eceived the throat ing letter November 2 9, It was writ ten In pencil, bore the local postmark end was directed to the Parsons r Idenci. Tho writer demanded that Mrs. Parsons p'ace $1000 ln$20gold pieces, wrapped in cotton, in a bak ing powder cam? nnd depoidt the money at a marked place in the Granite Hill cemetery about 6 o'clock December 1. Ono of the first requests of the I writer is that Mrs. Parsons was not to tell her husband until the deed had been carried out. and Intimated that If she did In r husband would be shot. The wrlu r goes on to say that if he does not kidnap the boy this time he will later, and that Mrs, Par- feons' home will bo burned and her husband slain Tbo letter closes with a postscript which reads: "If you can't get your money pcoii enough, we will give you to December 10, 5 o'clock. 8 A l.K Or SCHOOL ItOM.S Notice is hereby .given that, at a legally called schooi meeting, held -May 18, 1909, School District No. II of Douglas county, Oregon, author ized a bond Issuo of f20.000.00, for tho purpose of erecting a suitable school building for Public and High i School purposes, Therefore tho undersigned will re- bond issuo up to and including the Hist clay or December, 1909, and the paid bond issue will be sold to the party or parties bidding the lowest rate of interest.

HKAMNG KTItKXfiTH OK MINKKAL WATKK8 lit Cows of Dyspepsia, I then in at lam, Gout und nous Ilrvakdown, Is MaivelouH Upon recent Investigation by eniin etn physician!!, chemists And sclen- - tints It has been demonstrated thut natural, earth flowing mineral waters are the most beneficial means for the cine of organic maladies. Paso Uobles Hot SprlngB are at this time the point of Interest to most Investigators, as rectne occurences have attracted the attention of the thinking world to these springs One of their chief points of Inter tst to medical men Is said to he that which proveB that a pre-eminent ac tion rests In tho waters which flow from the earth at Paso Uobles, Cal ifornia. Paso Robles Hot Springs are mak ing cures dally of rheumatism, gout, stomach trouble, neurotic diseases, kidney trouble, and general break down, which proves almost beyond question to medical men that there Is some quality in these waters su perior to any In this country and probably In the world. It Is also claimed for Paso Robles that the air conditions are perfect. It lle3 in a small valley protected by mountulD ranges; is 720 feet above sea level and Is not assailed by too much sea niomture or an abnormal temperature from the hot land winds. This air condition is thought by somo to have almost as much to do with its cures as the waters them selves. The town like all health resorts. is tilled with boarding houses of all kinds, so that every purse will be pleased. There are hotels for the rich, where any luxury may he had. Private baths for exclusive patrons who wish to be to themselves. These springs have been known ror centuries, for they were used by the Indian to cure his sick mid later tho Franciscan fnthers performed wonderful cures here, but. It Is only recently that the really marvelous powers of these waters were made known to the world nt large. Aearlv every form or organic trou ble Is treated at these hot springs for tho authorities welcome all ex cept those who have tuberculosis or unclean, diseases. For tho man who suffers from overeating or from alco holic excesses there is nothing In tho world to enual a week spent at Paso Uobles. U straightens him out with a rupldlty that Is wonderful, and tho best recommendation is that they do away with the nerve-craving for stim ulants because of their peculiar soothing effects upon the nervous syesteni. Truly speaking the study of Paso Robles Hot Springs is one which Is giving the medical fraternity abroad and at home much Interest, und Is probably directing more attention to California than nny other of her nnturul gifts to man. A small' book, neatly Illustrated. has been recently published by the management telling the story of the Hot Springs In a most Interesting manner nnd giving complete Infor mation.
