The Polk county members of the Oregon Legislature favor no new legislation at this time. Senator B. F. Mulkev savs: "I think the occasion for calling us together be ing to correct an error in former legislation, the members would be very glad to adjourn as quickly as the error disaDDears. There is no occasion for new legislation. Be sides business requirements at home are doubtless such that members would not care to spend more than the time necessary, which need per haps be but two or three days at most." Representative George L. Hawk ins, who, by the way, is one of the seven members who voted against the passage of the new tax law, favors a session just long enough to re-enact the old measure. "Iam un qualifiedly opposed to any general legislation at this time," said Mr. Hawkins yesterday. "I would oppose any effort to take up measures other than those designed to relieve the state from the un fortunate position in which it finds itself as to the levying and collec tion of taxes. This work should not require moro than two or three days at the outside.'' Mr. Hawkins is not inclined to ask the Governor to call a special session, as he was in no way responsible for the pass age of the law that has caused all the trouble. He worked and voted against any change in the old law, and believes that those who were responsible for the mistake of plac ins the defective measure on the statute bookf should take the lead in securing its repeal. Joint-Representative B. F. Jones, of Polk and Lincoln counties, has signed a petition asking the Gover nor to call a special session, but is not in favor of any general legislation. The people of Oregon can belter afford to do without a special ees sion of the Legislature than to have that body meet and indulge in general legislation at this time. No county is clamoring for any general legislation excepting Multnomah county, and the interests of the state should not bo sacrificed to help Portland out of the dilemma in which she was placed by her own delegation. . The country counties can get along without a special session, and we hope that the members living outside of Multnomah county will not longer allow themselves to be bulldozed by the Portland delegation. There has been entirely too much of this work in the past, and it is time for it to stop. The people of Oregon desire no legislation at this time farther than the repeal of the new tax law and the re-enactment of the old. If the legislators cannot see their way clear to carry out this wish and then promptly ad journ, they would better be kept at home. Work on the Dallas waterworks goes on steadily, despite the inclement weather. Rapid progress has been made In the construction of the system during the last two weeks, and it be gins to look as if the plant will be rpiidv for operation several weeks earlier in the Spring than was at first fintiei oated. Practically all of the material Is now on hand, and Con tractor H. V. Gates is personally supervising the work of rushing the plant to completion. The 12-inch main between thereser voir and the edtre of town, a distance of three-fourths of a mile, has been laid, and ditching in the streets of the city was begun Monday morning, The ground is in good condition for ditching, and dirt is being moved at a Hvfilv rate. The heavy rains have made the work of laying pipe very disagreeable, but several hundred feet of the 3j-inch mains were put down this week. Much of the pipe in the mountains west of town is already under ground. A gang of men was sent out to the hills this week to finish the ditch be- tweon the reservoir and the Hallock mill. Work on the conduit was sus pended two weeks ago, in order to give the dipping crew a chance to get ahead with their work. All of the pipe is coated with hot asphalt both inside and out, before it is hauled out and distributed along the ditch, and as each section of pipe lias to be kept in the boiling asphalt about thirty minutes before it is ready for laying, this part of the work is necessarily slow. While the ditching and pipe-laying is in progress in the city, it will be necessary to close certain portions of the streets to travel, but the restrictions will be only temporary, and will cause no particular inconvenieuce to the traveling public or to any property owner. A Ucpvcud VJoinan Will often feel compelled to stop tliB clock whose ticking seetns unbearable to her. In such a nervous condition the woman needs a building up of the entire system. It is useless to attempt tne cure o I me nerves while the cause of the nervous ness remains mr cured. A very common cause of nervousness in women is i diseased condl of the delicate womanly organism. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures womanly diseases and the nervousness which they cause. It changes irregularity to regular ity, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. It is a perfect tonic and nervine, traiiamlizing tne nerves, promoting the appetite and in ducing relresuing sleep, W!ien J first wrote you I had been to three different doctors and two of them eaid I would never get better without Roing to the hospital for an operation," writes Mrs. iielma Erickson, of 496 Rice Street, St. Paul, Minn.

Ml Stuffed Up That's the condition of ninny sufferers from catarrh, especially in the morning. Great difficulty ia experienced in clear ing thu head and throat. No wonder catarrh causes headache, impairs the taste, smell and hearing, pollutes the breath, deranges the stom ach and affects the appetite. To cure catarrh, treatment must be fc"onstitulional alterative and tonic. "I was afHletwl with catarrh.

Ed Biddlo, tho Dallas foundryman and machinist, has again demon strated his ability to do the most diffi cult repairing on short notice. Last week the collector ring on the incan descent dynamo gave out, and the now ring ordorod from tho East not having arrived, it was feared that the plant would havo to bo shut down. Wishing to avoid, if possible, this expense to the company and inconven ience to its patrons, Mr. Biddle was called to look at the machine in the hope that ho might bo able to make tho needed repair. After making a thorough study of the worn-out por tion of the machine, ho returned to his shop and in a few hours manu factured a now ring to take tho place of the old 0110. The dynamo is again working satisfactorily, and Manager Ellis is congratulating himself that he is doing business in a town that has a first-class machine shop and a competent man in charge of it.

It had a very bad cough and the parents did not know what to give it. I suggested that if they would get a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and put Borne upon the dummy teat the baby was sucking it would no ..bicure the child. This they did and brought about a quick relief and cured the baby." t his remedy is for sale by neon Drug Company. Notice For Publication. TIMUKR LAND, ACT JUNE 3,1878.
