1 'i 1 ' V . - OREGONTCITY COURIER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1907, I 1 NEWS OF THE COUNTY RUSSELLVILLE. People of this country are feeling very good on account of the return of good weatl--!. Near Mr. Lehman's mill the snow is yet about six Inches deep though cattle are doing well. We hear many people are sick with lagrippe. Mr. Wingfield has it. It is reported that Zeb Bowman fired two shots at an unknown man a few nights ago. It Is not known what became of him, whether he was all shot to pieces or blown out of exist ence. One thing certain, he Is gone. The roads are very muddy in this country just after the thaw. We hear that the Molalla people still keep chasing the coyote for kil ling sheep. With the wolf It is kill or die, or kill and die both. Two men paused through this country on the timber hunt a few days ago. Mr. John Bagby must regain his health and be on the search for the owners of the hounds that are chas ing the doer in this country. Some are wanting a law for sheep killing dogs, but the people here are troubled most about the sheepkilling wolves. Scott Carter is contemplating build ing a large barn this summer. That means business. Arthur Carter killed a fine coon a few days ago and received C5 cents in cash for the hide. SPRINGWATER. The northern blast appears to have spent its fury after destroying many thousands of dollars worth of pota toes. In Springwater alone the dam age to potatoes Is estimated to be about $1000. Now we are having the gentle Oregon rain. Those who have been sick in Springwater are Improving. The Presbyterian church is without a pastor. The Rev. John Park, of El wood, preaches for us twice a month, Grandpa Wooster is getting very feeble, though It Is to be expected as he is over ninety years old. Just a word to the Marks Prairie correspondent. What he says to Mr. Ginther about Rev. Bronson and his disclplos in regard to their statements saying ffiat the condition of fallen wo men Is due to poverty Is untrue and mis-leading, as the writer has had to pay $25 a month for domestic help. The above named gentlemen appear to put a great deal of stress on the subject of fallen women. Proverbs 23, 7: "As a man thlnketh In his heart, so Is he." Then the Marks Prairie correspondent from his tone sets him self up as being in the more educated part ol the country, which Is a slur on the rural districts. What egotism, for our greatest statesmen wer from rural settlements. Third, he has some thing to say about the weak-minded . women. The facts, as history states, are that the more the Bible is taught, and the more that women are in the lead, the more enlightened are the people. Our srhool Is getting along nicely niary teacher. Several buyers In this part are hunting fresh milch cows. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Burns were visit ing Mr. and Mrs. Carl Parin Sunday. Miss Clara Morey was a pleasant caller on Miss Retta Scoggan Sunday afternoon. W. F. Skeen is some better we are glad to say. We are all In hopes Dr. Strickland will pull him through this hard spell. Nearly every one In this section is sick. Freezing weather is not good for the Webfoot people. The Union' Mills and Liberal tele phone lines are putting in metallic circuits and side lines also. MolMla Mutual believes In keeping pace with the times and In the progression of their little valley. Now the next in order is the elec tric railway. You are aware of one thing, that a railroad company does not pay any attention to small vil lages, like Molalla, Liberal or Mulino unless they lie direct in their tract of of permanent survey. They generally buy a piece of land and make their own towns. While I have no doubt at all but what the road will go yet there will be another survey and my opinion Is they will run west of Lib eral at least two miles. If they stay with the bottom I am one that will be ready when they come and if not the lumber will never be purchased at as small figures again and my goat shed seems to attract attention as a depot. I will build several more out of lum ber and a little larger. The man that always walks behind, he never goes ahead. Ho stands pat, and ready to growl at something his neighbors said, but sir the little railway persisted. I know my views are rather twisted, but why, when you're considered great should I be merely used for bait. Why should I be the butt of nature when the little railway comes along later. WOODBURN.

" 'Don't trifle with a cold,' Is good advice for prudent men and women. It may be vital In the case of a child. Proper food, good ventilation, ami dry, warm clothing are the proper safe guards against colds. If they are maintained through the changeable weather of autumn, winter and spring, the chances of a surprise from ordin ary colds will be slight. Hut the or dinary light cold will become severe if neglected, and a well established ripe cold is to the genus of dlptlierla what honey is to the beo. The great est menace to child life at this sea son of the year is the ne,;lected cold." Whether it is a child or adult, the cold slight or severe, the very best treatment -that can be adopted Is to give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is safe and sure.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind. discourages und k'S.seiisiiiuliitioii; beauty, vigor ana cheertuU noss soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble hat become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afllicted with veak kidnevs. If the child urinates toooftcn, if the urine scaUU the flesh, or if, when the child reachesau age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afllicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, theeause of tbedilli culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys und bladder and not to habit as most people suppose.
