STRICT REGULATIONS
TO PROTECT FARMERS
Rigid regulations for commission
merchants are prescribed in a bill
Introduced in the house by Repre
sentative Blanchard of Josephine
county. ' The bill amends the present
law relating to commission mer
chants and provides for the transfer
of Jurisdiction over them from the
state railroad commission to the sec
retary of state. Provision Is made
that before a commission merchant
can engage in business he must ob
tain a license and give a bond that
he will faithfully report to all per
cons consigning' horticultural, agri
cultural and vitlcultural produce
and farm products to him, and
promptly pay to each the proceeds of
all sales after deducting a commis
sion of not more than 5 per cent on
carload lots, and 10 per cent on
mailer lots, and actual disburse
ments connected with the sale of the
produce.
Further It is provided that Imme
diately upon the receipt of a con
signment of any article a commis
sion merchant shall make a detailed
report to the consignor of its condi
tion, and the market price, and that
be shall submit such reports until it
reaches the retailer. The license fee
is fixed at $10, and the secretary of
state may increase the bond when
ever he sees fit
If a commission merchant falls to
make these reports his license may
be revoked, and it the consignor has
sustained a loss be may recover on
the bond. In addition the commis
sion merchant may be convicted of
a misdemeanor. For any licensed
commission merchant to receive any
produce knowing that he Is insolvent
Is made a felony, and the penalty is
a fine of not more than $1,000 or im
prisonment in the penitentiary not
exceeding two yean, or both.
City Owns Houses
On Boulevard
Chairman Ware of a special com
mittee consisting of Ware, Blegel
and Cornelius reported at the coun
cil meeting upon the matter of the
two houses on the Boulevard which
have recently become the property
of the city. The places in question
lie, one at the flatiron at the corner
of Iowa street and the Boulevard
where the voting place for the dis
trict was formerly, the other directly
back of it and facing on the Boule
vard. The owners were unable to
pay the pavement assessment and the
property reverted to the city.
Mr. Ware recommended that $300
insurance be placed upon the smaller
building and $1,200 upon the larger.
He also said that while the larger
was at present renting for $5 per
month and would continue to bring
in this amount if about $100 were
spent in repairs, that if about $700
were spent the house could be mod
ernized and made into an attractive
residence which Bhould rent for be
tween $12 and $15 per month. The
house would then sell for $2,500 or
$3,000 under . ordinary conditions.
This proposition was favorably re
ceived by the council and will be def
initely decided at the next meeting.

WANTS OLD PETITIONS
1 IN VAULTS DESTROYED
A resolution giving the secretary
of state authority to destroy all ini
tiative and referendum petitions on
file in 'his office relating to meas
ures which have been submitted to
the people and defeated, and also all
petitions for the nomination of can
didates, who have been defeated, was
introduced in the house by Repre
sentative Davey of Harney county.
The reason for the introduction of
the resolution is that there are many
of these documents stored in the
state house and taking up much
space which could be used for other
purposes.

Delicate Surgery
Within the last week there have
been a number of very intricate and
critical surgical operations performed
at the Jarvls & Boslouch Sanitarium
in Aehland sorco oZ them of a na
ture seldom r.ttompted. Chief among
them was tho case of A. W. Stone of
Medford, on whom the doctors per
formed a gastroenterostomy on Mon
day of t!il3 veek. Literally, this op
eration is the making of a new pass
ageway from the stomach. Mrs. A.
E. Whitney, an Ashland resident for
the past year, underwent an opera
tion on Sunday for cancer of the
stomach in which part of that organ
was lemoved. Mrs. A. W. Redlfer is
in the Sanitarium awaiting a serious
brain operation. This Wednesday
Miss Bessie Way of Sacramento will
undergo a minor operation and Mrs.

ECONOMY PLEDGES IN
HOUSE ARE SET ASIDE
The Oregon house after nearly
two days of discussion forgot the
pledges of economy made before the
session opened and threw the doors
wide open by allowing each member
of the house to appoint a clerk or
stenographer.
While independent members put
up a hard battle for the Eaton plan
and at times it appeared as though
the whole house intended to redeem
the pledges made for economy, a
majority of the members finally
lined up with the senate organization
and adopted the senate plan;
This came after the house in com
mittee of the whole had adopted the
Eaton plan of hiring clerks and sten
ographers for groups of members,
thereby reducing the number used
far below those of the past. . But
Eaton, after winning that victory,
threw it away by Introducing other
amendments to the report of the
committee on rules, and the organ
ization forces rallied their men, and
in the final vote the rule was adopt
ed, giving each member a clerk or
a stenographer. President Selling
supported Eaton's measure, saying
that he believed the amendment was
in favor of economy, and the house
should begin its program of economy
at home. 1
YEARLY TONNAGE TAX
ON MOTOR VEHICLES
An annual tonnage tax, on motor
vehicles engaged in the transporta
tion of freight, express, passengers
and baggage, and limiting the loads
to.be hauled, ,is provided for in a
measure introduced Dy representa
tive Lewis in the house. "Further,
the bill requires that on registering
with the secretary of state the own
er shall furnish a statement that the"
vehicle is not to be operated in the
interest of any railroad, street 'car
line or boat line for the purpose of
eliminating independent competition
with such railroad, street car or boat
line. The license fee provided for is
based on the carrying capacity ot the
car.
After the necessary incidental ex
penses are deducted, the fees are to
be turned over by the state treasurer
to the county clerks and to' become
a part of the county road fund. Own
ers of the vehicles covered by the
act must also file with the secretary
of state a statement showing the
points between which they operate
and the number of trips to be made
weekly. The loads prescribed vary
with the size of the tire ot the vehi
cles.
T. O. Andrews, now of Corona,
Cal., but formerly an old-time busi
ness man of Ashland, writes: "It
has been a fair season for honey, but
the market Is very poor on account
of the new tariff. Jamaica, Cuba
and South America honey is landed
In New York at prices with which we
cannot compete. We have twenty
six tonB in storage. A groat deal of

AERIAL TRAIL BREAKING.
Amazing Speed and Endurance of th.
Wild Swan In Flight.
It is impossible fpr one who has seen
only the common mute swans floating
about in the n rtitJiial lakes of city
purks to imagine the grandeur of a
flock of the greut whistlers In their
wild state. In "Wild Life and the
Camera" Mr. A. R. Dugmore says the
sight Is one of the most impressive iu
nuture. As the huge birds rise into the
air it seems as if an aerial regatta
were being sailed overhead, the swans,
each with a wing spread of six or sev
en feet, moving like yachts under full
sail.
Oncp the swans are fairly nnder wny
their speed Is amazing, nearly a hun
dred miles an hour, and that. too. with
uu apparent effort, for the slow wing
motion is - very deceiving. Their en
durance is as surprising as their speed,
for they are said to travel a thousand
miles without alighting.
The flocks are usually led by an old
and experienced swan, and It la said
that as one becomes tired of leading,
or It might be called aerial trail break
ing, his place is taken by another
whose strength Is equal to the task,
and so they continue until they reach
their destination, the southern feeding
grounds of the winter or the northern
breeding places of the summer. Occa
sionally they stop to rest In the region
of the great lakes. Not many years
ago, while on their way north, a large
number stopped above Nlgara falls,
and more than a hundred were by
some, extraordinary mischance carried
over the falls and killed In the surg
ing waters.
Whether the swans prepare In any
special way for their southward Jour
ney Is not known, but before starting
north they tudulge in the curious habit
known as "ballasting" that Is to say.
tbey eat great quantities of sand, for
what purpose no one knows.
In the faraway Arctic ocean Is their
breeding place, and It is believed that
they mate for life. As with so many
of the water birds, the swans protect
their eggs with a covering of down
scratched from tbelr own breasts, so
that when the birds leave the nest the
two to six large, yellowish eggs are
bidden from the eyes of possible
thieves and protected against any sud
den changes of temperature.
It is many years before the swans
are clothed In the feathers of Immacu
late whiteness that make tbem such
conspicuous objects of beauty. Not.
indeed, until the fifth year does all
trace of gray disappear. Their first
feathers are entirely gray. Gradually
tbey lighten, becoming mottled with
white, the neck and bead remaining
gray until after the body Is completely
white.

HOME-MADE MEDICINE
Best and Cheapest for Coughs
Most persons neglect a cough or cold
for the principal reason that they either
don't think it serious enough to go to a
doctor, or don't know what good medi
cine to buy at a drug store, with the
result that the cough or cold b comes
deep-seated through this neglect and
hangs on the whole winter which might
have otherwise been speedily cured, had
Schiffmann's Concentrated Expectorant
been used promptly.
This new remedy Is so strongly con
centrated that two ounces (50 cents
worth) make a full pint (16 ozs.) of ex
cellent cough medicine, by uiraply mix
ing it at home with one pint of granu
lated sugar and pint of water. Itmnkts
a whole family supply, as much as would
ordinarily cost from $2.00 to $3.00 for
the same quantity of tho old, ordinary,
ready-made kinds of doubtful merit.
It is prepared from strictly harmless
plants and Is so pleasant that children
like to take it and it can be given them
with perfect safety as it positively con
tains no chloroform, opium, morphinu.
or other narcotics, as do most cougli
mixtures. No risk whatever isrtin iti
buying this remedy as drug store named
below will refund money if it does not
give perfect satisfaction or is not found
the very best remedy you have ever used
for stubborn Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
Croup, Whooping Cough and Hoarse'
