' While the announcement of the name of the lowest bidder on the Southern Pacific depot for Ecgene has not yet been made, and tbe cent ract will not be let for a tew days, it is believed here that W. O. Heckart, ef this city, will get the contract. A reason for this bslief is that a few days ago Mr. Hecaart received a bid from a Portland man for painting the building and tbe bid was on the letter head ot Chief Engineer Boeske, of the S. P. Co. From that it is inferred that Mr. Heckart secured the contract, the painter who put in the bid having learned it from the railroad officials in Portland. Eugene Guard.

Catarrh is an entirely unnecessary die ease and should not be tolerated for a siogl" dar now that Hyomei is so gener ally known and has made so many cures in Corvallis and otber towns. TJniil comparatively recent times ca tarrh was thought to be a blood disease and stomach dosine tbe only treatment. Modern science finally disproved this idea of the cause of catarrh, and found that it was a germ disease and, afte many ex periments, the remsdy was decided to be Hvomei. Hyomei medicates the air yen breathe ; it kills the catarrhal germs; it heals the smarting and raw membranes of the passages in the nose and throat ; it cure e all catarrhal troubles. As there is life and health in the air in the mountain-tops where the pine forests give off tbeir fragrant and healing bal sams, so there is life and health in breath ing Hyomei. ,There is no need of suffer ing from catarrh if the simple and natural treatment of Hyomei is used. So sure is this prescription to cure even the worst cases of catarrh,- that Graham & Wells sell it under an absolute guaran tee to refund the money if it dees not do all that ie claimed for it. 89-91 C0RDEM0N CARPET costing but 50 cents a sqnare yard (average price) is a fast color, refined fl or covering, more durable than any other two carpets at the same price .
