Hitch in Big Bridge Plan
When the County Commissioners
advei tided for bids for the building
of the tnsch needed bridge over Rogoe
Rivtr, here in Grants Pans, they
verily thought tliat they were doing a
wis.- thlnit in asking each contractor,
who put in a bid to offer 1" addition a
plan of his own for the big structure,
hoping thereby to profit by the inter
change of ideas regarding this im
port nt matter. All went merry as a
wedding bell until along came Dis
trict Attorney Reaiues and when he
waH accosted renaming the idea, he
said that it was his private opinion
that this plan would be illegal, as
the Oregon state law expreisly pro
vides all bids shall be opeu for com
pel it inn and if a bidder offers his own
plan and bids on it, he is practically
shutiiug out the others. However,
Mr. Knainss promises to band down a
written legal opiuion regarding this
matter and now the Josephius com
niiKsioiieri are nuauimoiisly awaiting
his advice. In the meantime they
have call' d off the date and made a
new oue for the presenting of the
bidi.
Next Meeting Important.
The first meeting of the oouuty
commissioners in the new year will be
one of more than ordinary import
ance, as many matters of more than
passing interest will then be taken op
and acted upon. This list includes
the fixiug of road - district boundaries;
parsing upon and fixing the amount
of the tax lovies for the various
school distriot and for the conntyjtt
large the receiving and inspection of
Sheriff W. J. Russell's annual report;
the annual rtport of County Health
offioer Dr. D P Love; the drawing
of thu list of jurors who will do duty
daring the year 1008 in the circuit
court ; appointment of viewers of the
various road matters that are more
than likely to come up during the year
to come; also the appointment of
road supervisors for the different
district'); judges and clerks for the
tluee elections aud any special ones to
be held during '08 will be chosen
aud the selection of stock and fruit in
spectors. Other matters of much im
portance will probably 'olaiiu the at
tention of the board thus making the
first meeting one of considerable im
portance. The Clerk Will He Busy.
Comity Clerk S. P. Cheshire and
his assistant, Deputy E. S. Veatch,
have baen enjoying a bit of a vaca
tion, while the holidays were on, but
now they are ninkiug up for the
leisure spell and are putting In some
very bard licks, endeavoring to keep
tho work right up to date. But this
is not what is causing thnin to look a
tiit worried, but it is that the Clerk
is going to have a big lot of eitra
work entailed upon him by leason of
the three elections which are sche
duled for the uew year aud the regis
ir.tttop whioh will have to be looked
after. This of itself is a no small
i uud"rtkiug. Then registration books
will be opened January I aud from
that date until May 15 the voters
throughout tho county rau hive their
nullum thus enrolled, when the pri
mary for the county election is to
ooiuh off. Tim they will agaiu be
openo I for the regular election in
Josephine comity, which is scheduled
for Monday, ;juue 1. Then they will
again be opened for the national hat
tie, of ballots, which is to occur Tue
day, November 3. All of which will
result iu much extra labor for the
Clerk and his deputy. Hut they are
equal to lots of hard work and will
be fully able to oops with this extra
labor.
School Clerks Derelict.
County Superintendent Savage iu
forms the Courier that a few of the
clerks of some of the no lu ml districts
are still derelict about the importsut
matter of making their reports. He

Graft In Old New York.
The first use of tbe word "graft" in
New York occurred 250 years ago. A
small stream that led from a swamp
through what Is now Broad street was
made Into a ditch with tbe sides plank
ed to form what Is known in Holland
as a "graft" or a canal. Three labor
ers were employed on this Job by the
burgomasters, and a committee of five
was appointed to supervise their oper
ation and see that they gave full
value for their pay. The completed
graft was turned over to the under
sheriff with these orders: "He Is or
dered to take good care and superin
tendence of the newly constructed
graft aud also that the boats, canoes
and skiffs be authorized to operate
therein."
Ths Thing to Think About.
Captain Coffin, one of the old time
whalers of Nantucket, had a thrilling
experience with a big sperm whale In
the south Pacific. He bad fairly har
pooned tbe wbale when the monster
turned, crushing tbe boat In Its enor
mous Jaws and scattering the crew In
to the waves. The captuin found him
self in the whale's jaws, but managed
to wriggle out and was rescued with
his men luckily uninjured.
"Captain Coffin," said a solemn
friend when the old sailor was relating
the adveuture, "what did you think
when you were in the Jaws of that
great whale?"
"Think!" said the captain. "Why, 1
thought he'd make a hundred barrels
and be did."

NOTABLE MEDICAL
1 DISCOVERY
Of Special Value to Many Here
In Grants Pe.ts.
One o tho most notable discoveries
and one "that undoubtedly appeals
more than anything else to .many
peonle here in Grant Pass is the com
bination of 'stomach remedies Ithe
Mt-o-na treatment. This prescription
has worked wonders, and there is now
no exeute for anyone suffering with
indigestion or weak stomach.
Ic acta specifically upon the mascles
cf the stomach aud bowels, streng
thening and stimulating them so that
they readily take care of the food
that is eateu. It ai80 increases the
flow of gastric iuioes, thus getting
from the food the oounshiueut tbat
is necessary f ir hetltb and energy. ;
The symptoms of itidigestion are
numerous, soch as distress after eat
iug, flAtolau.ee, heartburn, sick head
aches, dizziness and irritability.
Thee are all dispelled by a few doses
of Mi-o-na wheu tbe trouble is re
itsut. but just as sorely in long stand
ing and chronic cases if the treatment
is followed for a reasonable length of
tune.
So positive are the g(xij effects fol
lowiug the us ot Mi-o-na that the
remedy is sold by IVmaray under au
absolute guarantee to refund the
money if ii shoulit fail to cure.
