Magnificent Site For Log Parthenon One objection which has been ad vanced against bringing the Oregon 1 wilding from the exposition to Ash land park is that no suitable site is available. Far from It. Llthla park offers a location so far superior to the present location of the Oregon building in the exposition grounds as to offer no comparison. At the fair the building is on level ground back ing on the water front and having the entrance which is used by 90 per cent of the visitors, on a narrow driveway. U Is set on one of the lowest portions of the grounds and has nothing be hind it to set off the magnificent tlm ter effect. In Ashland a beautiful site Is avail- cble in the great stretch between the L.ithla drive and Granite street. The building could be set on this sloping eminence overlooking all of Ashland park. The timbered mountains be hind would provide a magnificent and fitting background, there would be plenty of space on all sides for great slopes of shrubbery-dotted lawns without encroaching on the other park features. The building of giant logs would he in perfect harmony with the setting and a more suitable location does not exist anywhere.

BREAK UP BRONCHIAL COUGHS, CROUP AND COLDS PROMPTLY Make the Best Remedy at Home 128 Teaspoonsfal for 50 Cents Don't neglect your first cold, cough or any bronchial affection, this fall, but commence treatment immediate ly, and through using the proper med icine, it can be chocked from the very start and promptly cured, but if neglected will probably hang on all winter; if it does not develop into something more serious, such as Pneumonia or Consumption. True, there are hundreds, yes thousands, of cough remedies on the market. While some are good, there are many which are not, but are positively harmful, due to the narcotics which they con lal.n But why experiment with these different remedies purely on the strength perhaps of some testimonials or on the exaggerated claims of man ufacturers, when Schlffmann's New Concentrated Expectorant is sold by McXalr Bros., druggists, on such a positive guarantee to give perfect sat isfaction, yes eveu more money will be refunded by them if it is not found the best remedy ever used in Severe Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough or Croup, and it will also be found ex cellent for Bronchial Asthma and Bronchitis. Besides these druggists guaranteeing "that it will be the best remedy ever used," it will likewise be found the most economical, be cause one bottle (50 cents' worth) makes a full pint (12S teaspoonsful) of the most excellent medicine for any of the above affections, when mixed at home with' one pint of gran ulated sugar and one-half pint of wa ter. It makes as much, or more, than would cost you $2.00 to $3.00 of al most any of the ordinary ready-made kinds, sold in bottles holding only 24 to 32 teaBpoonsful. You will be the solo Judge yourself and under the same positively "Money Back" guar antee which the druggists make for the famous Asthmador. Absolutely po risk is run in buying this remedy. of age.

Governor Praises Ashland Springs The following letter from Govern or James Withycombe was received by the publicity department this morning. It is quite evident tnat Ashland has received her full share of attention from the visitors to the Oregon building. Mr. Frohbach has done splendid work and his energy and ability plus the beauty and high quality of our exhibits have brought, and will bring, good results for our city at the Panama-Pacific Interna tional Exposition: "My Dear Mr. Duryea: On my return from San Francisco I want;-to tell you how very much interested I was in the excellent exhibit Ashland Is maintaining at the Oregon build ing. To my mind your mineral wa ter display Is probably the most unique and 'catchy' feature in the building, and it seems to me is giving you much beneficial publicity and at tention. In this connection I want to say that Mr. Frohbach is doing ex cellent work and is deserving of great praise. "With all best wishes to you and the progressive people of your com munity, I am, "Sincerely yours, "JaMES WITHYCOMBE, "Governor." The mineral waterexhibit referred to Is the miniature spring represent ing the bubbling Ashland .lithfa spring. PEPOT DOINGS.

The car was standing in the shadows and was unseen by the approaching engineer, who thought the way was clear and who struck it a heavy jolt. The ground was strewn with broken holts and the car was nearly knocked from Its trucks. It was loaded with mer chandise, the most ot it billed through to points in the north, and while no great injury was done the contents, it looked as though a cy clone had struck it.
