The buHineus of the Commercial
Club Is largely to answer letters and
sending out literature relating to
the conditions as tbey are in Jose
phine couny. The applications for
Information cover a wide range and
each question In order to give satis
faction, must be answered either by
special letter or booklet whi'.h will
give full Information regarding all
matters In the county. Below we
give one of the letters sent to the
Commercial Club. It is true this
particular communication Is more
verboBe than the usual letters but to
a certain extent they are all alike;
therefore It Is ponslble to prepare a
booklet which will in general an
swers the questions that any ordi
nary correspondent may ask. It
will be seen that the object In print
ing this letter is to give tho reader
an Idea of the Important work the
Commercial Club is doing.

There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
Inflummed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is Inflamed you haw a
rumbling sound or Imperfect hear-
Jf and when It Is entirely closed.
deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be takeu out and
Ibis tube restored to Its normal con
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; cases out of ten are caused liv
catarrh. whlou is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucuous
urftfos. We will give $10D for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure. Send tor circulars free.

MORE PREMIUMS
It Pays to Kvhiblt Our Fruit.
Important Letter to
V. B. Sherman
In our last Issue we gave the
gratifying news that Josephine
County had taken premiums at the
National Apple Show held at Spo
kane In December. This week,
Fruit Inspector Bateham received
three more applo premiums from
the same fair which places this
part of the Rogue River Valley In
the front rank among exhibitors at
the great National Apple Display.
The citizens of Grants Pass and
Josephine County can well afford
all it has cost to place our fruit on
exhibition and nearly the entire
amount has returned to us In cash
premiums. All must admit that It
pays to make these displays and we
should go farther afield and place
exhibits at every fair held In the
country. The following letter re
celved by our townsman, W. B
Sherman will confirm our position in
this matter:
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 22, 1908
Mr. W. B. Sherman,
Grants Pass, Oregon.
Dear Sir: I have received sev
eral papers and other literature per
talnlng to the Rogue River Valley
from you for which kindly accept
my thanks.
Under separate cover am mailing
you program of the National Hor
tlcultural Congress held last week
at Council Bluffs, Iowa, which is
right across the river from Omaha.
Several of us who were rather badly
hit with Oregon fever went over
there to take In the show and were
greatly disappointed at Oregon, es
peclally that the Rogue River and
Grants Pass were not exhibitors at
this show. Washington and Idaho
had large exhibits there that were
very convincing and entertaining.
By referring to second page cover
of program sent you, you will find
that this congress is likely to be
an annual Institution at the same
Dlnce and 1 sincerely hope to Bee
Grants Pass and the Rogue River re
spond next year. If this could be
done, would suggest that you make
the exhibit as general as possible
as I am confident it you go at
it
right, Grants Pass or Rogue River
would walk off with all the honors
I expect to go out to Oregon some
time during late summer or early
fall and shall make It a point to
take In Grants Pass and in that
event shall take great pleasure In
calling on you and thanking you
personally for past courtesies.
Wishing you the compliments of
the season, I remain
Very truly yours
