WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat Its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food In Scott's Emulsion which is
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs, Try it.

Statement of C. B. Watson In Reference to His Candidacy for Nomin
ation for District Attorney on the Republican Ticket at the
Coming Primary Election, May 19, 1916:
If you are interested In an economical administra
tion ot county affairs, read the following and deter
mine whether in your judgment I am qualified to
administer its legal features.
Having announced my candidacy at the coming
primary election to bo held May 19, 1916, for nom
ination on the Republican ticket Tor the office of
District Attorney for Jackson county, I assume that
there are a large number of voters of said county,
with whom I am not acquainted, that would like to
know who I am, what 1 am and what are my quali
fications for that orfice. There was a time when,
I think, I knew practically every voter in this
county. That time is past and there are a great
many people here now who are not familiar with
the people and the situations of a Tew years ago.
Came to Juckson County in 1871 and was Admitted
to Practice in 1877.
I came to this state and county in 1871, and with
the exception of about eight years have lived here
continuously ever since.
I was admitted to practice law by the Supreme
Court of Oregon in 1877; in the same class was Hon.
George E. Chamberlain, now U. S. senator. 1 began
my practice In this county when It embraced what
is now Jackson, Klamath and Lake. I moved to
Lakeview when Lake county was formed from the
eastern portion of Jackson and embraced what is
now Klamath and Lake, opened the first law ofrice
in Southern Oregon eaBt of the Cascade mountains.
My brother W. W. Watson, who Is now on the Daily
Tribune at Medrord, joined me in start'ng the State
Line Herald, the Hrst newspaper in Southern Ore
gon east ot the Cascades.
Was Presidential Elector on the Republican Ticket
in 1880. Collector of Customs From 1882 to
1880.
In 1880 I was elected Presidential Elector on
the Republican ticket and was the messenger to
carry the Garfield vote to Washington city, and was
a representative there from Oregon at the inaugura
tion of President Garfield. In 1882 I was appointed
Collector of Customs for the Southern District of
Oregon and stationed at Coos Bay. At the close
of my term I moved to Astoria, at the mouth or
the Columbia river, and was for several years Dep
uty District Attorney there under the Hon. Thomas
A. McBrlde, who Is now on the Supreme bench of
this state.
Returned to Asldand in 1888.
In 1888 I returned to Ashland, and practiced my
profession in this county continuously until six
years ago, when in consequence of ill health I was
forced to retire temporarily. I bought me a little
ranch and spent most of my time at out-of-door
work until I fully regained my health, and for tne
past two years my health has been better than for
twenty years before that, both mentally and physic
ally. Last fall I again opened a law office at Ash
land, and find mysolf dropping into tho practice as
naturally as though I had never been out of It.
In 1808 Was Klectcd IMstrict Attorney for Josc
pldno, Jackson, Wanuith and Lake OomitioH.
In 1898 I was elected on the Republican ticket to
the office of District Attorney for the First Judicial
District of Oregon, which then embraced what is
now Josephine, Jackson, Klamath and Lake coun
ties', and to the record I made while 1 was an incum
bent of that office I respectfully refer as to my quai
lHcatlons thereror. Up to the date ot my retire
ment I practiced law in Jackson county for twenty
four years, and those who lived here during that
long period are familiar with my qualifications as
a lawyer I have had quite a large experience in
criminal practice, both prosecution and defense.
There are plenty of people in all parts of tho county
who know my qualification, and to them I respect
fully refer others who desire Information.
Member of tho Orexm Conservation Commission.
I was a member of the Oregon Conservation Com
mission from the date of its organization until about
a year ago, and was one of the committee that
framed our present water code, and assisted in put
ting it through the legislature.
Was On the Slate of the Republican State Central
Committee for Sixteen Years m One of the Organ
izers and Stumpers of the State. , , , ,

tral Committee for sixteen years as one of the or
galnzers and stumpers of the state, and have

stumped nearly every part of ft. I have at various
times, running through a number or years, been
city attorney or Ashland, and my practice was an
active and constant ono.
Was Active for Many Years in the Anti-Saloon
Fight. AgniiiNt the Saloon.
Tho people of this county who were here at the
time know that I was one of the first to take the
field In opposition to the saloons, and bellovo J
am accredited with having no lltt e part In bringing
about the splendid situation in that regard. I long

reinforced with a long experience, to enforce all
laws that sha'l come within my provence, witl o
fear or favor.
