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.

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.”

RICH ROGUE
RIVER VALLEY
That the Rogue Valley is rapidly
becoming a fruit center can be no bet
ter demonstrated than by a trip
through the valley.
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.

The Pure Food Law.
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. For sale by City Drug Store.
