The ordinance provides that the front aoor ot a" -drinking places shall ; he kept close1 on Sunday, and penalties i ranging from $25 to $200 are provided for j violation. The Tribune, of that place. Is very favorably Impressed with the or. dlnance, and declares that, If the law in rigidly enforced, it will "be difficult for un habitual drunkard to secure liquor, particularly if complaint be lodged with the mayor, auditor and police Judge, or marshal." In applying for a liquor U. cense a person must present a petition signed by 20 persons. Should a remon, strance be filed signed by 20 persons, then the applicant must secure a greater num wt of numes to his petition. An ordln. ance licensing dogs is also In forty; there.

We have saved many doctor bills since re began using Chambr-r'aln'B Cough Remedy In our home. We keep a bottle open all the time and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and Incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain's Cough Remedy never falls to cure. It Is cer tainly a medicine of great merit and worth. D. 8. Mearkle, General Merchant and Farmer, Mattie, Bedford county, Fa.

Or., states th.it the Curtis fish bill is null and void nn account of an omission In the bill a re. ported by the Senate committee on fish- erles. The omission was the failure of th "" ticm, "lieu me mil wna.alan hoovh. . K.H- n.t -..mK..l.ln.. amondt-d, to retain the enacting clauw of the bill. This was a vital oeiect, nni me celebrated Curtis fish bill Is conse quently ns Inoperative and dead us an edict of Agulnaldo. How this fatal omission ever escaped the observation of the committee on fisheries In the house and senate is as tonishing. In the senate, Reed of Doug, las, a canner, was chairman of the com. mlttce. He Is an experienced legislator, and regarded as one of the sharpest men In Oregon and more than usually vigilant In legislation. Johan Young of Clatsop was chairman of the house committee. He la energetic, but culd be fooled at any stage In legislation. But Curtis of Clatsop, the author of the bill, was Its watchdog and all-round champion, They were all fookd as easily as blind men, and the opponents of the bill un doubtedly put up the jmb. ine ueau nsn mil was tne measure that carried the appropriation of HS.doo for fish havheries and provisions raising revenue from the salmon Industry, and was the result of a Joint oorKi-rence h'-ld by thu Oregon and Washington legisl tors, naving in vktv uniform concurrent legislation In both states, ft was at ml. lar In revenue provisions to that prlntel In The Gazette this week. In view of the failure of the Curtis bill tho legislature of this state should abandon the scheme for revenue which discriminates against and places an un. fair tax on tho fishermen and cannery. men of this dtate. Oregon has failed to do her duly In protecting nnd advancing the salmon industry, Washington should not dnch her fishermen for the benefit of the delinquents In Oregon, The stllUborn delivery of the Curtis fish bill Is due to the folly and rapacity of the major portion of the Oregon Islature. With a buffoon, a freak, na leader of the house, whose time whs token up protecting and perpwtilatlng "grafts" of all descriptions, 'to the utter neglect of urgent local and general legls. latlon, It Is not to be wondered at that tho legislature was what the "grafters" made It a monumental, tocnomlnloua failure. The portions of the old fish and game laws which the Curtis Mil aJmf-d to amend and repeal are still In force in Oregon. The way some women yank children along toy the arm mnkea everyone who sees them long to give them a taste of the same treatment. Do You Wear Then Glance Over These Prices.
