matters connected with the Grange

water. All who are interested io
making this celebration one of the
most enjoyable ever held in this
valley, whether they are grangers or

Mrs. H. 0. Bateham, chairman of

Last Year's Sales of Hvomel, the
Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.
Larger The.n Ever.
The merits of Hyomei (the treat
ment that cures catarrh without
stomach dosing), its popualrity and
growth, are unique in the annals of
medicine. So pronounced is the re
lief and cure follwing the use of
this treatment that it has been pub
licly recommended by leading drug
gists and physicians in nearly every
state and town in the conn try, with
the result that last years's sales were
larger thsn ever.
The fact that Hyomei is so'simple
and complete, and that it cores by
breathing nucleated air and not tak
ing drugs into the stomach, no doubt
bas helped to create this widespread
and rapidly increasing army . of
friends.
Tbe way in which it has been told
by Demaray has undoubtedly aided
greatly its introduction in Grants
Pass. He is snch a firm believer in
tbe power of Hyomei to cure all ca
tarrhal troubles, that he urges people
to me it with the understanding that
the cost will be refunded to anyone
who is not benefitted by the treat
ment. Ton do not risk a cent in test
ing tbe healing virtues of Hyomei,
for he take all tbe risk of it giving
satisfaction and leave you to be tbe

are working with a will to make the
celebration splendid success.
M. D. Bouseman, who has a firm
near Wilderville, was iu Grants Pass
Monday. Mr. Bousman along with
his other farm interests has a band of
66 Angora goats. He finds them as
profitable as any other stock he can
keep fur they taka little feed aud care
and in addition to the returns from
mohair and mutton they do good work
In olearlng brush land. For the past
year the total exneoBe for hay and
other needs bas been not over 85
cents a head and had the ooyctes not
made a raid on the kids this spring
the band wonld have netted him a
profit of fully 25 per cent on the in
vestment. Be shot and killed one
coyote and wounded another aud that
ended the loss from that cause.
A rural telephone system for Fruit
dale district, recently inaugurated by
Fruitdale Grange, will be in opera
tion next week and then the enter
prising residents of that promising
fruit di.tiiut will be in telephonic
communication with Grants Puss and
with the other sections of Josephine
county haviug rural telephones.
The Grange telephone oommittee,
computed of G. A. Hamilton, Prof.
R. R. Turner and Robert Huck, hav
ing secured sufficient subscribers to
warrant the installing of a telephone
system for Fruitdale and having or
dered the telephones 'and wire, called
a meeting Tuesday evening at the
Fruitdale school house of the sub
scribers for the purpose of effecting a
permauent organization. As organ
ized the company is to be know a as

vice-president. Walter Coutant secre
tary and treasurer, and G. A. Hamil
ton, E. H. Wise, Walter Coutant.
H. C. Bateham and W. H. Kiucald,
directors.
In order to have a f irst-clss service
two lines will be built to Grauts
Pass. For the present there will be
13 phones for the two lines but it is
likely that by fa'l there will be 20 or
more in the system. Those now on
the list as subscribers are G. A. Ham
ilton, Prof. R. R. Turner, F. A.

begun this week aud it is expected to
have the system in working order
early next week.
Both Fruitdale and Wilderville
Granges will meet on Saturday even
ing of this week. It is expected that
full attendance of the memoirs will
be bad and especially of Wilderville
Grange as several matters of Import
ance connected with the celebration
on the Fourth of July will be up for
consideration.
A Reward for "Blind Pigs."
Grants Pass, June 8.
To the Editor of the Courier:
The temperance people having won
the victory at the election Monday
and put Josephine county in the list
of dry counties of Orsgon, the next
undertaking for them is to enfuroe the
law and prevent the illegal sale of
liquor. It has been the history of
every place where prohibition has
been enacted for liquor selling to
continue until stopped by a rigorous
enforcement of the law. How to se
cure evidence that will couvint tha
keepers of blind pigs is the problem
that now confronts the temperance
forces in Josephine county. It has
been proposed that an organization be
effected and that a fund be raited to
be UMd as rewards for the evidence
required. But that effort is effect
ually blocked by tba fact that the
courts have ruled in such cases in
other states that a person who belongs
to an anti-liquor organization or bas
oountributed money for the prose
oution of persons violating the prohi
bition laws is disqualified for sitting
on a jury before whiob a liqnor man
is being tried. For tbe temperance
men of Josephine county to ooutribute
to a fund .for suppressing bliod pigs
wonld disqualify everyone of them
fro in jury service and that would
fwe tbe juries to be made op of
li'ioor sympathizers (and that would
mean acquittal to every keeper ofa
blind pig that might .be arrested. The
only solution to this problem is for
the county to put up a standing re
ward of at least 1100 for evidence for
each conviction that may be secured
and then for thi court to fine tha con
victed person heavy enough to reim
burse tbe county fur all expenses that
may be incurred in the ewe. With
$100 reward cettain to the informer
there would be many of the whiskey
crowd through rows among themselves
ana through other causes who would
frnish all the evidence reqired to con
vict keepers of blind pigs. Tbe mem
bers of the county court may hesitate
: to offer a reward for evidence against
I the violators of the prohibition law
When thj oouuty has do standing
reward for evidence against the
violators of otuer laws. To show
them that it is the wish of the people
of the county that such reward
be offered and yet not involve the men
who might be called to serve on juries,
it would be well lor the women of the
oouuty .to get np a petition to the
county oourt. This could be handled
by the W. C T . U. and a petition '
circulated in every precinct in the !
county. If this petition was signed
by a good majority of the leading
women of Josephine county, there is j
little doubt but what the. members
ot the county court would heed and
grant the request quite as readily as
if signed by the leading men of the
county.
