The leaders among the Democrats decided that a county conven tion was- not necessary, and the central committee met this afternoon and selected the delegates.

With ita inception In the minds of unscru pulous politicians, and after vainly en deavorlng to foist Its narrow-minded measures upon the people of Linn County, the much-vaunted Referendum League to day lost Its only semblance of a strong hold In loyal old Linn. Tho two Albany men who were advertised as officers of the league announced today that they were not In sympathy with the movement, and wonld no longer permit their names to bo used as a shield for the political move ments of certain Marlon County politi cians. At least this is the construction placed upon their resignation by friends of President J. J. Whitney and Secretary T. J. Stiles, of the Referendum League. Judge J. J. Whitney says that he had no knowledge of a Referendum League until it was announced in the" papers that he was president of the new organization. which savors so much of politics. The Judge further added that ho usually liked to toe Informed before he was harnessed to a cart of this kind, and always felt better if ho knew who the driver was. Mr. Whitney has no sympathy with the ref erendum movement, and refuses further to permit his name to bo connected there with. He today handed to T. J. Stiles, sec retary of the Referendum League, his resignation from the office of president, which was not his seeking, and dropped a similar resignation In the postofQce .ad dressed to the Referendum League. Judge Whitney's resignation reads as follows To the Secretary and Members of the Referendum League Gentlemen: I have been Informed that at a meeting of some of the referendum people recently held in Albanv I was selected at said meetlns: to act as president of a referendum league. I was not at said meeting, neither had I any knowledge of any kind of the holding of fold . meeting. Neither was I consulted upon the subject of whether or not I would accent the presidency of a referen dum league or any other kind of a league. The adoption of the referendum portion of our state constitution had my hearty sunnort. and it is ritrht unaer our form oi government to keep the power of con trolling the administration of the affairs of our government in the hands of the people. It would, in my opinion, be right to give the voters of this Bta'te an opportunity to vote and pass upon some of the appropria tions made by tno last .Legislature. I regret that my time is so engrossed In other matters that I cannot rive this referendum movement the care and at tention that It rooulres. and for that rea son I most respectfully tender to the league my resignation. J. J. WHITNEY. Secretary T. J. utiles, of the Referen' dum League, paid today that he had paid UO aiicnuun iu isiu niuvcmcuu xic uuucu that ho had no connection with the league, because he had never accepted the office of secretary, to which he was elected unknown to him, that he had never attended a meeting of the league, nor would he have anything to do with It Albany people are very much pleased with the turn matters have taken. The people of Linn County have never had any sympathy with the anti-Fair agita tion, and were generally opposed to hav ing the fair name of old Llnn""besmlrched by connection with such a movement. Thanks to tho politicians of Marion Coun ty, Linn County was made a scapegoat for the narrow-minded movement. But Linn ha now cleared her skirts of the last vestige of the Referendum League. Mayor W. K. Davis, on hearing of the death of the referendum movement, so far as Albany and Linn County are con cerned, said today: "I have never had any symmpathy with the movement: It Is against tho Interests of the people. The Lewis and Clark Fair will be the greatest advertisement Oregon has had. Let us do everything to help It; not throw on any cold water." The opinion of Mayor Davis is indicative of the sentiment among- thinking people In Linn County. FOR DALLAS WATER VORKS. Citizens' Ticket- Xomlnatcd That I Fjavorable. DALLAS. Or., March 27.

Gervais prides Itself upon hav ing better Improved roads and streets than any other town In the state. The re sults were secured through the organlza, tlop of a local Improvement league, whose members voluntarily contributed the money and labor necessary to "do the work. So well satisfied are the people with their Investment that some have al ready volunteered to double their con trlbutlons -for the purpose of extending the area supplied with hard-surface roads, The roads built near Liberty have also proven so satisfactory that the work will be continued by voluntary subscrip tion. Thorough drainage as a prerequisite to a good permanent road is emphasized by President Scott whenever he makes an address. As County Judge of Marion County he Impresses "upon road supervis ors the necessity for the digging of ditches In such a manner that the water wilL run out. He ' says that In many Instances where low places In the road had to be filled in, the dirt from the fill was taken from the ditch alongside, and as a conse quence a deep place was left In the ditch and In this water stood all 'Winter. The water soaked through the road add soft ened It so that the hard gravel surface was entirely destroyed. In such a case. says Judge Scott, the dirt for the fill should be taken from some high place, so that the bottom of the ditch will pre sent a gradual decline toward an outlet. When the water has been drained away, there will be little trouble about getting a solid foundation for a highway. Road officers all over the county are taking an Interest in the subject and are co-operating with those citizens who are desirous of building with private funds roads for which the public road funds are not sufficient. There is every prob. ability that during the coming season many miles of permanent rock-surfaced roads will be built and that Marion County will rank among the counties having the best roads In the state.

Old-Fashloned Medicines for Catarrh Xo Longer In Vogue. For many years past the usual treat ment for catarrh diseases was with local douches, sprays. Inhalers and liquid medicines composed principally of alcohol, all of which" never cured but simply give the temporary relief and stimulation. A thorough cure can be made only by the treatment which removes the catarrhal poisons from the blood. A new remedy, which meets the require ments and which so far has been remark ably successful . in curing catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membrane only. They can hardly be classed as a secret patent medicine as they are composed of such valuable remedies as blood root, .Hydrastin. red gum of Eucalyptus tree and similar antiseptics combined In tab let form, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous membrane the pols ons of catarrh. - Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large. pleasant-tasting lozenges to be taken In ternally, allowing them to dissolve in the mouth, thus reaching the throat, trachea and finally the stomach. If desired they may also be dissolved In water and used as a douche, In addi tion to the internal use, but it Is not at all necessary to use a douche; a few of them dissolved' In the mouth dally will be sufficient. However, when there Is much stoppage of the nose a douche made from these tablets will give .Im mediate relief,, but the regular dally use Internally will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resorting to the incon venlence of a douche. Dr. Bennett stated "that the Internal treatment of catarrh by means of pleas ant medicated tablets is rapidly taking the place of douches, an'd local , applica tions and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market Is the Stuart's Ca tarrh Tablets, as no secret Is made of their composition and all the really effl dent catarrh remedies are concentrated in this tablet." Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full-sized package, and he will tell you there is no safer, more palatable, efficient and convenient qatarrh cure known to the trade.
