Gty Council Will be AkeJ to Have Surveys And Estimates for Sidewalks and Sewerage. ADDITIONAL LOCALS. The Iiulopeiulenoe Improvement League lU.-ouiisrd f wer;t)i- cement sidewalks ami other matters of in terest to the city's welfare Monday night. 1). Calbreath, of the cement side walk committee, reported that he bad submitted a written report to the city council asking that body to take steps to have cement side walks laid on certain streets. It was the tense of the committee and also of the League that cement walks should be laid on Main street from A to 1) and on Monmouth and C streets from Main to Rail road and the committee was in structed to draft and circulate a petition asking the council to have a competent surveyor run the levels and estimate the work required for the building of cement sidewalks and laying of gutters on the streets mentioned. Dave Calbreath, A. Or. Sperling and W. W. I'ercival, com prise the committee. The committee on sewerage, com posed of Dr. Ketchum and G. A.; Hurley was given similar instruc-j tions relative to the inauguration j of a sewerage system. This com- mittee, acting with the committee on cement sidewalks was directed j to prepare and circulate a petition j asking the council to ascertain, i without unnecessary delay, the cost of establishing a sewer system. The two committees will incorporate the two purposes in one petition. Rural mail delivery and rural telephone lines were also dis cussed. The matter of securing rural delivery to the south, it was reported, is well under way, and the establishing of a route may be expected in the near future. No developments were reported to the League in the matter of se curing better train service to Port land. The unfavorable compari son of Independence depot accomo dations, particularly, the lack of granite, with other stations was touched upon. The League adjourned to meet at 8 o'clock, next Monday night. Mrs. Sarah Irin, Mr. A. & Locke and Mi IWie Butler will represent the Independence lodge ofKeb-kaha at the grand lodge meeting in Astoria next week. They do not fto to attend the "grand jury" as erroneously stated last week. The. Rev. Arthu Allen an nounces he will preach on the con secration and desecration of the Sabbath at the Baptist church next Sunday evening, touching upon the matter of keeping open either front or side tljors to saloons. Eric Kleppin, manager of the Burletta show company was in town this week to secure the hall at Newport lor the summer from J. S. Cooper. The Chenmwa Indian band has also made application for the hall and it will probably be let to the Chemawa people or Mr. Kleppin. Services as usual at the Presby terian church on Sabbath both morning and evening. Te or chestra which accompanies the choir is a great addition to the music. Next Sabbath evening Mrs, Babbitt and Miss Bowdew will play a duct that will be worth hearing. Topic of sermon Sunday evening, "Counting." All are welcome. Ninety-four per cent of the lead ing citizens of large Eastern cities of the United States were brought up on a farm. Seventy-five per cent of commercial and professional men of Chicago were raised m the c mntry and rural villages, and IT of our 23 presidents came from a farm, while rural districts are fur nishing So per cent of college stu dents. Some cheerful idiot may conclude from this that the farm is a good place to leave, but the true significance is that it is a good place to develop intellect as well as character. Rural Spirit. HAYSEED WRITES Calls Attention of Improvement League and Gty Council to a Few Things. A Great Sensation. There wag a big sensation in Lees vCle, Ind., when V. H. Brown ot tbat place, who was expected to die, had his life saved by Dr. King's New Dis covery for consumption. He writes: "I endured insufferable agonies from Asthma, but your New .Discovery gave me immediate relief andsoou thereafter effected a complete cure." Similar cures of consumption, pneumonia, Bronchitis and rip are numerous. It's the peerless remedy for all throat and lung troubles. Price 50e, and $1.00 Guaranteed by A. S. Locke, druggist.

It will pay you to get our prices, Vest Cough Medicine for Children When you buy a cough medicine for fmall children you want one in which you can place implicit confidence. You want one that not only relieves but cures. You want one that is un questionably harmless. You want one that Is pleasant to take. Chamberlain's Cough Itemedy meets all of these cou ditioua. There is nothing so good for the coughs and colds incident to child hood. It is also a certetn preventive and cure for croup, and there is no danger whatever from whooping cough when it is given. It has been used in many epidemics of that disease with perfect success. For sale by all druggists. For Sale i For Sale Fifteen head of young hogs. Enquire of T. B. Hooker, Airlie, Ore. The Japanese have a proverb which says, 'It la easier to find a thousand recruits than one general." It is ap parent that the Japs have never heard of Santo Domingo. Serious Stomach Trouble Cured I was troubled with a distress in my stomach, sour stomach and vomiting spells, and caa truthfully say that Chamberlain's Btomach and Liver Tablets cured me Mrs. T. V. Williams Laingsburg, Mich. These tablets are guaranteed to cure every case ot stom ach trouble of this character. For sale by all druggists. It may be observed that the mem bers of neither house of congress threaten to resign if their wages are not raised. Profiting by their experience, the fire insurance companies are advancing the rates on "absolutely fireproof buildings. It is extremely probable that Panama will have no objection to turning over the malarial fever problem to Uncle Sam.

Entkki hisk: I have hen watching the proceeding of your Improvement League and also the City Council pretty closely for about six months to see if anything would be done about this freight train nuisance, and also about the decomposed granite walk that is needed at the depot but is not here. Neither Iwdy has said a word so fur, or if they have it's never been heard. When a freight train puPs mlo this town and has freight to load or unload, the train often consist ing .1" twentv or thirty cars wid blockade ltailroad street to all travel for as long a time as it is necessary to transfer this freight, completely blocking both pedes trian and team trallic for that length of time. Is there sio way for the city council to remedy thisf Are they asleep to the needs of the town? Then that depot walk. There is a small stretch of granite here, not long enough to accommodate an or dinary passenger train. Often in winter anyone alighting from the rear coach of the south bound train is compelled to step off into the slush and mud of the street; and in summer they have to take the dust. Surely we are entitled to as much consideration in this respect its tiaston. Wells Station, and such places as tiiose, where this granite walk extends from one to two blocks from the depot. Then, why don't the council see to it that 'he S. P. Co. put m plank street crossings so that teams com ing and jioing on our str-ets can cross the track without danger of breaking vehicles. I am told the contract with the S. 1', Co. when this right of way was granted, called for a planked track any where in the city limits when needed. We certainly need this planking badly on every t-treet crossing in town. iiKe up gentlemen of the Council and of the League and lake full advantage of your oppor tunities. So long as you sleep on your rights, no one else will help you. Get a move on and prove to the new comers walking our streets that you are not to be classed with the mosabacks.
