There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumb ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when It is entirely closed, deafness Is the result, and unless the inflamma tion can be taken out and this tube re stored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Ca tarrh, which Is nothing but an In flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of DeafneBs (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

It hardly seems necessary to say much about the qualities of these plows they are so well known; but if you are not yet acquainted with them, come see our stock, or write us for information. If you do not live near one our branches, see the dealer who is our agent in your vicinity. SOME WAY, see the J. I. Case line before you buy a plow.

The new school house on the divi sion district is going up at a rapid pace. Our Fruit Inspector's argument last week reminds us of a little article we noticed In an Eastern paper; it reads thus: "Some men are like pyramids broad at the foundation but narrow at the top." You will find the condition of the average farmer of this locality just the reverse from his statement. The hop Industry this year seems to be a failure; some yards have re mained entirely un-picked, while there is not a yard we know of but what have some hops left In It on ac count of the mould.

Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages andlessensambition; beauty, vigor ana cueenui- ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dia- eased. Kidney trouble has become bo prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys.

This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same ereat remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, in fifty cent and one-dollar size bottles.

Ottls Morris weut to Oregon City on Saturday, returning via Meadowbrook. Lame Back. This is an ailment for which Chamberlain's Pain Balm has proven especially valuable. In almost every instance it affords prompt and perm anent relief. Mr. Luke LaGrange, of Orange, Mich., says of it: "After us ing a plaster and other remedies for three weeks for a bad lame back, I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and two applications ef fected a cure." For sale by Huntley Bros., Oregon City and Molalla. Cams. The people of this part of Clacka mas County have been very busy ofr the last 10 days picking and drying their prune crop. Help has been some what scarce but the large crop will all be secured without loss, thanks to the help of the women and children. The four driers on less than a section of land have been worked at their full capacity. A little rain did no harm, but cooled the atmosphere, which was appreciated by the prune pickers.

The hops were of a good quality and picked by local pick eds. Jack Wallace and wife received an addition to the family, a son. We notice with much jeeret manv obnoxious weeds, such as bull thistles, burdock, etc., along the public high ways. The road supervisors either can't see good or are woefully negli gent of the duty which they owe to tne people. The Canadian thistles also need attention in certain locali ties. These weeds are a nuisance, are unlawful, are propagated only by in different, careless people, and the public at large should be protetcted from their encroachment. If the road supervisors would read the road law occasionally and act in accordance, these things would not ex ist. Barton. Jacob Cooper, of Dover, is at Dix's sawmill. The Dix sawmill is about to begin saving slabwood. Fuel is high in Portland. A city of 225,000 people at one cord each is going to use lots of wood. C. P. Dix, who owned the Bonney sawmill, has taken possession of it, Mr. Bonney having retired -from the business. Guy Ward, who has been at Fir wood all summer, returned to Barton, and now with his brother, Leo, is tour ing the Willamette Calley and visit ing the college town f Newberg. H. L.

Are you not terribly scared of the Chinks and Japs. The way they are arming and organizing themselves is awful. If they were all collected in the Oregonian building and Fruit In spector Reid should turn his windy lips that way they could soon be blown back to the dark places whore they belong.

Henry Henrici was baling hay in this neighborhood last week. Well, they came, they saw, and got left namely tjie representatives of the Pacific States Telephone . Com pany. No doubt, they saw something of which no community need feel pround. When the speaker must call the young ladies (did I say ladies? Weil, let It go at that) to order so he can hear himself speak, it shows there is something lacking in their makeup Homer Rowen is moving his fami ly baok to Dix Bros.' mill. Work has commenced on another three quarters of mile of rock road. Twi miles more are needed right away to make teaming possible next Wniter. Everything passed off quietly at the meeting of the telephone association last week. The improvement in the service at central is appreciated by the members. It was ordered that the trunk line between the central station and the Graham Church be placed In first-class condition. Other improvements will be made In the near future. Here is a question which you fre quently hear: "Say, who is J. H. Reid?" And if he could hear some of the answers, he would know more about Clackamas County than he now does, and if he will Investigate a lit tle he will find a good many thousand acres that were cleared by white men, and I will bet him my black cat against one of his Shetland's that more than 95 per cent of all the cleared land In Clackamas County was cleared by them. We know there were a few acres cleared by Chinese around Mil waukle. Does he think Milwaukle is the whole county? He says the high prices for butter and eggs, etc., are caused by scarcity and high price of labor. Does Mr. Reid thing eggs, etc., would be more plentiful if we had a lot of Chinese here, like we had In the '80s and early '90s? Then you could buy a good day's work for from fifty cents to a dollar, now how many laboring men and farmers look back with regret at such times as Mr. Reid does? Will someone please ask Mr. Reid how many $1800 cows he has. I think Mr. Reid would rather travel over the state Inspecting orchards at $4 per day than do an honest day's work for fifty cents or a dollar, as In the days gone by; and it seems he would so much like to see again Nuff ced. New Era. Mr. Endicott and family hav re turned from the Upper Willamette, where Mr. Endicott had been foreman of a log drive. Meetta Heerdt was on the sick list last week. Drs.

Spokane, Wash., but will return soon and make their future home on his farm north of town. It's up to- New Eraites to incor porate so they may be able to dictate to the S. P. R. R.

Mrs. Chinn and family returned Tuesday from Horst Bros.' hop yard, near Salem. The recent rains placed a huge smile on the faces of all the farmers that have potatoes to dig. Health In the Canal Zone. The high wages paid make it a mighty temptation to our young arti sans to join the force of skilled work men needed to construct the Panama Canal. Many are restrained however, by the fear of fevers and malaria. It is the knowing ones those who have used Electric Bitters, who go there without this fear, well knowing they are safe from malarious influence with Electric Bitters on hand.
