mittee from Carus-and Molalla whenever
they are going to have any work done :
on the roads in and about Oregon City. I
The same parties think these should be i
standing committees,, for the pesple out

gall that seems to characterize the
aforesaid board of trade. One fellnw
remarked that when mother nature
mixed up a batch to make an abnor
mally large steer she didn't put in more
gull than some members of that board
have in their composition. If the board
were reciprodty individuals ftiey would
do as has been suggested give us a
chance to help untangle their great road
problems. We have not the unlimited
chef k to do it without being asked, tiut
would most willingly help if we had an

We have been having some very cold
weather out here near the foothills, but
never too cold to have a crowded house
at the Irwin school house. The debate
and literarv brings out old and young,
not onlv from Garfield, but some come
from Eagle Creek and Currinsville. The
literary part is very good, also the paper
called the Garfield Review. They have
some excellent speaking, good music
and singing, and sometimes a negro
piece and a play mixed in the program
to make it interesting. They intend to
close it on the 25th with a side-splitting
entertainment. The receipts will be
used to buy a nice deBk for the school
house, ,

plenty of light, after which the young
ladies and gentlemen scattered over the
ice. making It verv lively. Miss Sadie
Barnett and Elmer Davis were consider
ed the champions until John Irwin ar
rived with his fine skates; then he car

How to Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unheathy condition of the kidneys;
it it stains your linen it is evidence of
of kidney trouble; too frequent desire
to pass it or pain in the back is also
convincing prool that the kidueyj and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
; There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rhumatism,
pain in the back, liyor, blaider and
every part of the urinary passage. It
corrects inability to hold water and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects
following the use of liquor, wine or beer
and overcomes that unpleasant necessi
ty of being compelled to go often during
the day and to get up many times dur
ing the night. The mild and extraordi
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon real
ized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing
cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the best. Sold by druggists
in fifty cent and one dollar sizes. .
You mav have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery and a book that
tells more about it, both sent absolutely
free by mail. Address Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghampton, N. Y. When writ
ing mention that you read this gener
ous offer in the Courier-Herald.
