CANDIDATF FOR
JOINT REPRFSENTATIVP.
W. I. Vawter has Qledwitb the secre
tary of state bla petition for renomin
ation as joint representative for Jack
aon and Dougiaa counties.
Mr. Vawter Beta forth in bis peti
tion tbat be will vote for that candi
date for United Statea senator who
has been eleoted by the people wbiob
faot alone should go a long ways in
commending him to the confidence of
the voters.
He promises to aid in legislation
that will require the state treasurer
to account for all Interest reoeived on
publio funds. A law of that obarao-
' ter would save the poople of Oregon
many thousands of dollars 6B0h yeal
In state taxes. He also favors a
trlngent law governing state banks
and requiring state banking instltu-
. tlons to make periodical roportB of
their business.
t Mr. Vawter occupied a prominent
; position in the last legislature, fie
represents no faotlon, ia under no
obligation to any wring of the party
and nls conscientious work during
laut session should oommend hi in to
the voters of the ninth representative
dlatrlot.
,; A dovoted public servant 1b always
entitled to a seoond term.
. Mrs. Uertrude Nixon, wife of Robt
, Nixon, the veteran editor of the .Yreka
Journal,, died at her borne In Yreka
last XueBday, aged sixty-one years.
The sympathy of the oraft is extended
to Editor Nixon In bis afHtoticn.
It's a pretty hard matter to tell the
' people of Jackson county anything
about Qarl T. Jones, the present
oounty surveyor, and candidate for
re-nomination. Everybody knows
him, and knows him for a competent,
careful and conscientious civil engi
neer. For three successive torms Mr.
Jones has been eleoted to the office of
county surveyor, without a great deal
of effort on bis part, whioh, In itself,
shows the esteem and confidence the
people have lu blm. He is thorough
ly familiar with the whole oounty
and his long experience in the olllce
makes blm a very valuable man tor
the plaoe.
Senator Fulton Is energetically op
posing the oreatlon of the Rogue
river forest reserve. Forester Plu
ohot, however, can see no reasou
why the reserve Bhould not be oieat
ed, and will likely reoommend It, in
whioh event Senator Fulton will ap
peal directly to tbe president. Thore
la strong opposition to tho setting
apart of the reserve by tbe rosidenta
of the counties affected. They olaim
tbat the neoesalty does not exist,
that muoh of the proposed reserve ie
mineral laud and that a considerable
amount of good agricultural land is
contained therein and that the
creation of the reserve will retard the
development of the oountry.
At the request of bia many friends
Couaty Commissioner Joshua Patter
son has consented to become a can
didate for re-dominatton on the Re
publican tloaet. There are a whole
lot of reasons why Mr. Paltorson
should be re-elooted and most of them
are to be found In bla record during
tbe past four years. He has been at
tentive to Mb duties and has brought
the olear-boadod bualueaa sense, for
whioh he is noted, to bear upon . the
administration of oounty affairs with
tbe result tbat Jaokson county has
been greatly benefitted thereby.
There la oue renBon alone whioh should
secure for him the vote of every farm

tion, and that la tho work he haa done

labors are patent to all. Jackson
oounty haa during tbe paat two years
made great progress in the matter of
improved roads, and during the next
two will make still greater advances.
Much of this condition of affairs Is
due to the efforts of Mr. Patterson
and we do not believe thai the people
of the oounty can do better than to

Still In Ibe Race.
An item In the Ashland Tldinm of
Maroh 19th, on the state senatorial
contest haa created the impression
among some of the people that W. II.
Qo"e Is out of the raae for the nnmin.
atlon. Tbe portion of tbe articlo
wbiob gave rlat to this report follows :
"On tha ,,11-, -1.1 - I.

Someone, reading the sentenoe
"Mr. Ooie ia out" -without taklua in
tbe sense of tbe proceeding and foi
lowing pbraBes nor reflecting upon the
number of candidates in the race,
jumped to the conclusion that the
statement meant that Mr. (lore was
out of tbe raoe, whereas, paradoxical
as It may seem, It meant that be was
lu the race, otheiwise tbat he whb out

For A Healthful
DRINK
A campaign of education is now
going on in the United States for the
increase iu the consumption of tea. Tea
is a healthy beverage, and a cheap
drink. Oue pound of good drinking tea
if properly brewed will make 250 cups.
Merchants can not give a uniform tea
when buying on an open market. You
can not know tea by its appearance.
The only way to test tea is to cup it.
This we are not prepared to do, bi t we
have availed ourselves of the exper
ience and ability of a reputable firm in
San Francisco and purchased through
them our tea for the year. The tea will
come direct from Japan as soon as
ready to ship. We have a limited
quantity in stock. Try it, tea that is

you will know where to get it. Call for
