McCain, of Tacoma, is the chief member, had until lust night to give bond. The hour went by without McCain' having made pood. Plans and Fpccifications are all ready, and bids 'will lie received proliably inside of ten days. Several contractors, when aked .yesterday how long it would take them to figure on the specifica tions, replied three or four days would be sufficient, inasmuch as the work to be done is simple, olleetions of money by the Open River Association to pay for the road will continue. The sum needed from that source will be between toQfiOQ and 140,000. which, in addition to the 1151,000 of the Oregon legislative appropri ation, will go to the successful con tractor. The contractor doing the work wiM have to rely on the god faith of the Open-River Associa tion for the extra money, but that is regarded as a good risk. Tele gram.

When your stock and poultry are sick give them med icine. Don't stuff them with worth less stock foods. Unload the bowels and stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possi ble to cure it. Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine unloads the bowels and stirs up the torpid liver. It cures every malady of stock if taken in time. Secure a 25 -cent can of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine and it will pav for itself ten times over. Horses work better. Cows 5 ire more- milk. Hogs gain flesh, nd hens lay more eggs. It solves the problem of making as much blood, flesh jmd energy as possible out of the smallest amount of food con sumed.
