THE MORNjnS"G 0BEG.0NIA2?, THURSDAY. jAXUARY 5, 190o. YAMHILLWIUSHOW County Court Asked to Pro vide Funds for Exhibit LEAGUE MEETING IS HELD Delegates Arrive at McMinnvIIIe.From All -Over the County by Special Train Stirring Addresses. Are Delivered. aranNNVnXE. Or.. Jan. - 4. (Spe cial.) The Development League con vention, held at this place today, -was a grand success In every ,way. By courtesy of the railroad company - a -special train was run at reduced rates irom Portland over the Yamhill divis ion, bringing a large number of dele gates from Newberg. Springbrook and Dundee. The convention was presided over by Jesse Edwards, of Kewberg, H. It Harris, of Dayton, acting as sec retary. Twelve county towns were repre sented. Tom Richardson, of Portland, ' made a rousing speech on the plans of the league, giving the delegates some -working Ideas that will be well worth trying. The address of Charles V. Galloway was replete with -practical suggestions, made very valuable from the fact that the speaker had spent several months at the St. Louis Exposition, and bad made a careful comparison of various state exhibits. Oregon shone brightest at St. Louis when the Hood River fruit exhibit arrived toward the end of the Fair, sent mainly through the efforts of Portland business men. Oregon prunes were cooked and served In competition with like fruit from .Cali fornia, and the southern rivaj was a poor second in the race for popular favor. , The lesson Mr. Galloway has learned and is now advocating is that the coun ties of Oregon, and particularly Yam hill County, should make exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Fair of its best natural products. The Iruits and grains will sprak for themselves. Money spent in fancy trimmings and in showing other than the best of the greater products of the soil were sheer waste. Mr. Gallowuy has a plain, stralgntforward manner of speech that is very convincing, and bis statements show he has a very complete grasp of the situation. Mr. Galloway was followed by W. E. Coman. who told what the railroads were doing to aid Immigration. A resolution was passed asking the County Court to appropriate $1000 for n county exhibit at the Fair, and a committee of 12 leading men and wo men of the county was appointed to wait on the court and make known the wishes of the convention, which they did. This resolution was backed by resolutions of local Boards of Trade from Newbergr. Amity and other points. The county board of exhibit was in creased by adding to its membership the Mayors of the several towns and the presidents of the various local leagues. Beginning with February, the county board will hold monthly meetings, the third Saturday of each month being the regular meeting day. Before adjournment a committee of ladles was appointed to organize auxiliaries-to aid the Development League. This Is the "best meeting held In the county, and if the support proves as good as the enthusiasm. Yamhill Coun ty' will be represented at the- great Lewis and Clark Fair. .Pacific Products to Be Shown. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Jan. 4. (Spe cial. The new City Council met last evening and organized.

Washington Supreme Court Passes en fie Labor Law. OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. 4. (SpeclaL) In an important opinion filed today the Supreirie Court declares unconsti tutional that portion of the labor lien law which provides for the enforce ment of Hens for provisions furnished , railroad contractors. The Court holds that the act is in contravention of tho constitutional requirement that the body and title of all bills passed by tho Legislature shall be In conformity. In this act the title reads: "An act creating and providing for tho enforcement of Hens for labor and material." The body of the act seeks to Include provisions ns lienable. It Is held by the court that there is a doclded distinction between "ma terials" and "provisions," the former word not embracing what are common ly referred to as provisions. The law in question is found on page S2 of the laws of 1893. Today's decision does not affect any portion of the law ex cept that which relates to provisions. The remainder of the act stands. The decision is in the Clark County case of Armour & Co., appellants, vs. Western Construction Company. Aetna Indemnity Company and Portland, Van couver & Yakima Railroad Company, respondents. Based on this opinion similar decisions are handed down in actions brought by H. Waterhojter and W. D. Sapplngton against the same corporations. SKIN GRAFTING A FAILURE.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant purifier In Nature, but few real ize Its value when taken In to the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better: It Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im purities always present In the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect In theN stomach and bowels; It disin fects the mouth and throat from the poi son of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuai-s Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition of- the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is. that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great sneflt. A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stu art's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and puri fy the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the dolly use of them: they cost but cents a box at drugstores, and although In some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets."
