Ctiy council Tuesday night refused to canvass the vote of the special election which was held September 80 last, to obtain an expresson of opinior from the voters on the ordinance grant ing to the Oregon Water Power and Railway Company a freight franchise over Main street. While a majority of the members of the council favor ed the measure, the people went on record against it by a ote of 812 to 193. The election ws held under the direction of the finance committee which has not yet made a report and City Recorder Dimick said that the oouncil would not canvass the vote until the finance committee has taken action on the matter. 'A petition was presented to the council, asking that the vote be canvassed, and this petition was laid on the table. Mr. Knapp's motion to grant the request was not seconded. Opponents of the franchise ordinance, who is held up by the injunction restraining three members from voting , on the measure because they are employed by the company, may commence mandamus -proceedings to compel the council to canvass the vote. Ordinance for the improvement of Fifth Street, between Water Street and Railroad Avenue, passed the council, and bids for the improvement of Gadke alley were referred to the street committee.

The popularity and increase in the sales of Hyomoi are unique in Jthe an nals cf medicine. Such astonishing cures have been made by this remedy that the proprietors have authorized Huntley Bros. Co. to sell every pack age of Hyomei under an absolute guarantee that it will cure catarrh, if it does not, the purchaser can have his money refunded by Huntley Bros. Co. Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. It is the only method of treatment that sends by direct inhalation to the most remote part of tlie air passages, a bal samic air that destroys all catarrhal germ in the breathing organs, en riches and purifies the blood with ad ditional ozone, and makes a, perma nent and complete cure of catarrh. The oomplete Hyoinei outfit costs but $1 and consists of an inhaler that nan be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper, and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents. It is the most economi cal of all remedies advertised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows Nature in her methods of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. Breathe through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a day, and your catarrh is cured. That's all. If not cured, Huntley Bros. Co. will efund your money. Illustrated Addresses at Cburch.

Howard, of the Mi5sourl State Agricultural College says: "I advise American farmers to cultivate Gin seng. Big profits may be realized. It is a hardy plant and is easily grown." A recent bulletin issued by the Pennsyl vania State Agricultural College in part says: "The sup ply of native Ginseng root is continually diminishing and the price per pound is correspondingly increasing, while the constant demand for the drug in China stan js as a guaran tee of a steady market for Ginseng in the future. The market for our cultivated rnot will exist as long as the Chinamen exist." Counst I General W. A. Rublee, of Hong Kong, says in the U. S. Consular Reports: "The sale of Ginseng root grown in America is very large here and the demand is so great that much more could be disposed of advantageously. The root is as indispensable to the 400, 000,000 Chinese as is their rice." Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn, wheat and cotton. The present market price varies from $5.00 to $8,00 pel pound, according to quality, while the cost of production does not exceed 1.50. There is room in an ordinary garden to grow several hundred dollars' worth each year. The plant is hardy .and thrives in all parts of the United States and Canada, except in the arid regions. We are successful growers and can show you how to make money growing Ginseng. You can get good start in the business for a small outlay, and soon have a comfort able income. We have several thousand choice roots for sale for fall delivery. The planting season begins in Aug ust and continues till the ground is frozen. Write us to-day for furfher particulars.
