Candidacies are Looming up
This ( some of the would be
pnblio servant! made known their in
teutiona, by filing with County Clerk
Cheshire their first formal notice,
informing the people that they would
"be in line." for the respective
places mentioned. These who litre
signified their intentions of running
for office were as follows : George W
Colylg, who wants to be the next
state senator from Josephine'oouuty ;
W H Fallis, the present rssetaor, who
thtuks he oonld step into Sheriff Rev
sell's shoes and who makes "known
his intentions of soring to the im
portant office of Sheriff; F S
Cheshire, who has been so faithfully
ano acceptably ervingthe people Jn
the capaoitr of countylerk, is will
ing to continae to look after the work
in that office, if the rotors so wish
it; E E. Dunbar, st present book
keeper for the Willlms Bros Door &
Lumber Co , thinks be could fill the
office of county clerk ahd so shies his
castor into the political ring. All of
these are pronounced republicans.
There are (aid to he several " Inde
pendents," who are only waiting
to see the publicans get in a
"muis," and then they will tyiter
the arena. They realize that politic
ally speaking Josephine county is
"mighty close," and that the voters
prefer the man rather than the party,
when it comes to filling these county
offices and they will not stand any
thing that savers of the "ring" or
any wire paling.

Many Went New Bridge Contract
At the meeting ef the County Conrt,
next Wednesday, one ef the uiott Im
portant things to be considered in the
letting of the contract for the pro
possed new bridge across Rogne River,
here at the county seat
Judge Jowell informs the Courier
that he is being fairly deluged with
bids and that they come all the way
from San Francisco to Minneapolis
and from as far east as New York.
Several contractors have oome here.
In person, to examine the specifica
tions and make personal inquiry re
garding the matter. Tbna far there
have been' in the neighborhood of 40
bids, with others to be heard from, as
the bids will be received np to the
date of the next board meeting.'
Anent County School Matter
Tomorrow the Josephine County's
Kighth Grade Examining Board will
met and pais npon the papers of the
examination which was held la't week
here at the oountv seat There were
applicants from Merlin, Selina, Pro
volt, Kerby and, two fm Units
Pass.
Superintendent Savage states that
there was some little complaint about
a few of thefquestions, but be thought
that they were not wU grounded, as
the questions were uniformly very
fair and the State, Board of Edooa
tion gave no extra bard ones. One
that some scholars thought "a
"stickler," had to do with ciphering
out the number of tons . of hay In
mow of certain dimensions. Another
was to give the qualifications of the
U. S. Senators and Representatives,
terms of office, salary and the like.
Superintendent Savage informs the
Courier that there will be the cus
tomiry three-days coonty teachers'
exmination, beginning with Febroary
12. for county and state paper. A
formal . announcement of these ex
ml nations will be found eUewbere
in today's Courier.
Onoe more tie county jail is empty.
For a period of six weeks the baiile
had occupauts, but they were sum
marily dealt with by Judge Hauna
aud are now, ' safely .housed at tlie
state "pen," with the exoeption of
those who were dismissed.
There are nine Inmates of (he new
County Home," and they are finding
the new Institution very comfortable
and convenient.
This week Judge Jewell has been
using his pen quite freely, in pass
ing upon and approving the bonds or
the supervisors appointed in the
various road districts.
T P Judson's ailment, a canoer, was
bothering bim quite a bit the first of
the week and Monday he was dnable
to continne his work on the 1908 tax
rolls.
Hunter's liceoses were issued the
past week to Perry Matson and E
Banfield of Grants Pass; J C K Mo
Caon, C G Lipp and W E McBride,
of Wildervllle aud Wm. Kosa of Ta-
kllma.
Uupid has been rather derelict In
his duties, for there has been no mar
riage license issued for over a week.
Can it ,be posiible that the "finan
cial flurry" has anything to do with
the cessation of his activities?

County Treasurer J T Taylor has is
sued another call for out-taodlng
oounty warrants, covering the period
from July 5, 100-1 to September 15, of
the same year. This Is a good show
ing, as it has only been about six
weeks since he made bis lat call.
Josephine oounty taxpayers are com
ing up nicely with their cash.
Deputies Smith and Cheshire are
bokily engaged In fixing np the delin

Many rheumatic attacks are due to
urio aoid la the blood. But the duty
of the kidneys is to remove all nrio
acid from the blood. Its presence
there shows the kidneys are inactive.
Don't dally with "urio acid sol
vents." You might go on till dooms
day with them, but until you cure
the kidneys you will never get well.
Doan's Kidney Pills, not only re
move urio aoid, bat cure the kidneys
aad then all danger from urio aoid is
ended. Here is Grants Pass testimony
to prove it :
Mr. A. Lempe. F Street, Grants
Pass. Ore., says: "For some time I
suffered severely from rbeumatlo pains
and at times was so stiff and lame that
I oon Id eoarely get around At night
my rest was greatly broken on ao
ouunt of these pains and as a oonse-
qusnoe, I would larise . in me morning
feeliog so stiff and lame that It was a
hard thing for me to perform my
household duties. I tried many
remedies and liniments without te
osiving the slightest relief. Hearing
about Doan's Kidney' Plus being
highly reoosnmended for suoh troubles,
I started taking them, procuring
box at Clemens' drug store. I was
helped from the beginning and before
I knew it, I was almost free from the
trouble. Occasionally have a slight
pain in my back, but a few doses of
Doan s Kidney Pills never fall to re
lieve me, I have told others bow mnch
good I have receive from Doan's Kid
Ley Pills and would not be without
them in the house." For sale by all
