The rainfall of Tuesday pointed out the fact that the drainage on First street, at least. Is insufficient ; in tact, in case of a severe storm we are inclined to believe that some ot the buildings on First street would be flooded, at least tbe first stories.

Fragrant SOZODONT Is a composition of the purest and choicest ingredients of the Oriental vegetable kingdom. Every ingredient is well known to have a bene ficial effect on the teeth aud gums. Its embalming or antiseptic property and a romatic fratrrance makes it a toilet lux ury. SOZODONT removes all disagreeable odors from the breath caused by catarrh, bad teeth, &c. It is entirely free from the injurious and acrid properties of tooth pastes and powders which destroy the en amel. One bottle lasts six months. It Pnya to Insure. Business men make the matter ot insur ing their goods and property of the first importance, as no man can tell tbe day nor the hour in which his property may be damaged or entirely destroyed by fire, even though he may exercise the greatest care and watchfulness. Onr farmers are pretty generally making assurance doubly secure by Insuring their grain after plac ing it in the warehouse. This is wise and safe, and should be followed by all. In sure your grain, houses, barns, or goods O'any kin I in a sound company, and you can sleep soundly. Ameng the soundest insurance companies doing business in Oregon, none can be more highly recom mended than the Connecticut and the Ge man-American. It is a noteworthy tact that both the above companies paid every dollar of their losses in the great Chicago and Boston fires, a fact which speaks loudly in their favor. The instruc tions to agents In every case is to find out speedily the amount ot any loss by fire In which they are interested, and pay it to the last farthing. These are tlie compan ies in which to insure. Mr. Julius Grad wohl is the accomodating agent ' for both companies in this city, to whom all should apply who desire to insure in sate com panies. married.
