' Beware of Frequent Colds A succession of coldB or ft protract ed cold Is almost certain to end in chronic iatarrh, from which few per sons ever wholly recover. Give every cold the attention It deserves and you may avoid this disagreeable dls 'ease. How can you cure a cold? Why not try Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy? It Is highly recommended. Mrs. M. White, of Butler, Tenn., says: "Several years ago I was bothered with my throat and lungs. Someone told me of 1 Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I began using it and It re lieved me at once. Now my throat and lungs are sound and well." For sale by Hamilton Drug Co. The Review does job printing-. MYRTLE CREEK ALONE OPPOSES ROAD LEVY. 22 Oilier Districts Vote Speriul Tuv, and Four More Will, Also i Plnns for Ureens District. Of the 27 road districts In Doug las county which, through their sup ervisors, tiled special tax resolutions with the county court, 22 have voted on the tax, and only one of these fail ed to carry the question of a levy. Of the remaining Ave, Glendnle. Galesvllle and West Roseburg have not yet reported and Deer Creek (from the city boundary, east) and Greens (from the southern extremity of Mill Street to the top of Roberts Hill) voted this afternoon. Deer Creek levied a tax of 2 mills. The on-, district which refused to vote a special tax Includes the town of Myrtle Creek, In which it was pro posed to levy 3 mills. Out of over 300 property owners In the district, only 15 -showed up at the meeting this week and eight of those voted against the proposition, thus killing It. It is altogether probable that when reports are all In, Myrtle Creek will stand forth conspicuously as the only district out of 27 in the county that passed preliminary resolutions and then turned down the proposition for a special tax.' The levies voted by the districts which have so far reported range all the way from 10 mills to 2 mills. Anchor, on Cow Creek, Gardiner and Happy Valley, are the districts which have voted a 10-mill tax. At Greens this afternoon it is proposed to vote a 3-mill tax, and the levy will be made beyond a doubt. Fifteen or more of Rosehurg's property owners, headed by County Judge Wonacott, are at Greens this afternoon to participate in the road meeting, and they are there for the purpose of seeing that the levy Is voted. Some radical improvements will be made in this district next year. What is commonly known as the Parrott hill, near the old power plant, Is to be cut down and the abutting bridge is td be raised so as to materially reduce the grade at that point. From- there on to the first railroad crossing at Shady Point, about two miles distant, the road is to be given a uniform width of 60 I feet. At the other end of the dis trict, from the top of Roberts Hill to the bottom, about one-half a mile in distance, the grade Is to be cut down. In 1910, It is planned to Improve the Intervening stretch of road In the district. Two of the three railroad crossings in the Shady Point locality will be eliminated, and the road will be diverted into Jeptha Green's lane and then on to the bottom of Roberts ' Hill.

MOKK OKKC.OX HAlUtOADS. Construction of Cross-Slate Lino to be Followed by Others. , CHICAGO. Dec. 25. Oregon bids ralrs to come into its own with reB pect to transportation fu'Allties. Alarmed over the activity of othor railroad corporations in surveying and constructing lines of road through various portions of the Pa cific Northwest, Edward H. Hnrrlinnn nnd his aids have decided nctlvoly to occupy all of the territory In the Northwost which bids fair to become of value from a traffic standpoint. Plans have been perfected by Mr. Harrlman for the construction of be tween 700 and 1000 miles of railroad In the Btnte of Oregon alone, and that surveys have been ordored of a great aeai or territory which Is now with out means of transportation.

That at least $176,000 was paid councllmen for the selection of certain banks as dpposltarles for the city's funds, has almost been positively established through evidence furnished by the Voters' league. Whether all hank selected as depositaries contributed to this fund has not been established The officers of only one hank have ben arrested so far, but that other bankers are to be arrested Is almost jtosltlvely stated by those bark of the probe. These, however, will not take place until after Christmas, unless circumstances make It necessary The League states that It has all the financial backing necessary to con duct the prosecution.
