SUBSCRIPTION One year, by mail.................................. S1.5<’. CITY ELECTION That the city election is drawing near it is the duty of the taxpayers to select men for the council who are not afraid to see the town grow, men who will not wait for someone else to act and then pout because this someone else has advocated a good measure and defeat the proposition. The charter must be changed. Has hi ything been done in this direction? Me must have water, Has anything been done in this direction? We need sidewalks. Has anything been done in this direction? We need the streets fixed. Has anything been done in this direction? The railroad company should be compelled to fix the street along the tracks. What has the coun cil done in this direction? Think it over. How Build or Not Build up a Town. than elsewhere, or to Cincinnati for cheap buggies when the "home manu facturer” could meet every demand with more stylish and substantial rigs? Do you suppose he went moping around about taxes being too high in Enoch and no one there knowing any- toing about business? No, sir. He evidently was not built that way. If taxes were high, he got up and hus- tied to increase the value of property, so that there would be greater values to tax. He built i ouses and encour aged others to do so. If city lots got too low he bought up a dozen or two, scattered here and there, for the dou ble purpose of personal profit and strengthing values. On these he put up plenty of houses at reasonable fig ures, good ones, too, so that when any one came to Enoch he did not have to move into an old tumble-down shanty or move on. He improved and beauti fied every lot, kept the weeds down and set out trees on the lots and in front of them, even where he did not build, thus adding to the value of each lot and adjoining property as well, . He found that it did not take so much i much money to run a comely, well kept town as it did a dilapidated, God- forsaken one, anil there were four times the values on which to raise the required money. That’s the way he lowered taxation, not by silting on a stump and howling about it. If a man wanted to run a factory, or some other enterprise, he was not afraid the fel- low wanted to make some money, but told him to "sail in and I’ll help you all I can. A business that does not make money is no good, We want every legitimate business in Enoch to make money, and piles of it.” M. HEGE Jacksonville’s Leading Confectioner........

Large and small tracts of land is be ing prepared for the young trees on all sides. The Rogue River Courier say that 14,000 acres are being prepared for fruit and 50,000 trees and 265,000 gra pe vines have been ordered. With this vast amount of stock or dered and the season is not over it is only reasonable to presume that these figures will fall short. The tokay grape, grown in the val ley, is one of the best crops and an acknowledged money maker. This grape thrives to perfection along the foothills of Jacksonville and there yet remains thousands of acres of the best grape soil to be found anywhere with in a reasonable walking distance from Jacksonville. The best prices cannot be had for our fruit on account of the small quan tity grown, but when this valley is one vast orchard and vineyard we can expect better prices, our fruit will be better known and the consumer will ask for Rogue River fruit.

Secretary Wilson says: ‘‘One of the S® objects of the law is to inform the consumer of the presence of certain harmful drugs in medicines.” The law requires that the amonnt of chlo roform, opium, morphine and other habit forming drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufact urers of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy have always claimed that their remedy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is now fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is not only one of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds. Its value has been proven beyond question dur ing the many years it has been in gen eral use.
