To Bid the House of Won.
A correspondent writes to nsk how
to use phrclhrtmi powder for the de
struct lou of flies. Directions will
bo obtained when the powder Is pur
chased. It. Is largely used ns an In-
sectlfuge. There is a substitute fly
killer that Is probably better. Tho
.London Lancet, a good authority,
says: "The bout exterminating agent.
Is a weak solution of formaldehyde
In water (say two teaspoonfuls to the
pint), and this experience has been
confirmed by others. It would ap
pear that files aro attracted by a
weak Bolutlon of formaldehyde,
which they drink. Some die In the
water, others get as far only ns tho
Immediate vicinity of the plate of
water, but all ultimately succumb,
and where they occur In large num
bers, hundreds may bo swept from
tho floor. It Is consoling to know
thnt by this method tho flies have
dlod under n doso of a fluid which
Is fatal to dlsenso organisms, a fluid
also which Is Inoffensive and for
practical purposes nonpolsonous.
The method at oneo provides a
tnenns of diminishing tho scourge
and of securing to some extent what
Is most desirable, the disinfection of
tho slain."
Huglioi Object of Solicitude.
It Is Interest lug to note that cer
tain big pollUclniiH are anxious to
Insure a place on the supreme bench
for Governor Hughes so as to have it

liienlloiied this matter to the presi

Out-Poor Presidential Dinner.
President Taft must have learned
of tlie popularity of the Southern
Oregon lawn dinners and made up
his mind to pull off one of these af
fairs at the White House. The news
papers tell us that the president gave
a dinner a few days ago to 40 peo
ple on the White House grounds, be
tween the mansion proper and the
Executive office. The affair was a
great, success and It will undoubtedly
result in making outdoor dinners
popular all over the east. In South
ern Oregon, and especially In Jose
phine county, the outdoor dinner has
long been popular nnd will likely
become more so In the future now
that President Taft has introduced
It. for large gatherings at the Whfte
House. Out door sleeping nnd out
door eating go together and both
will become popular over the whole
country. In the history of presi
dential dinners this Is the first to bo
given out of doors. It is learned that
the president's guests enjoyed UiUlm",c' 'mM",s "In,,y irunx, were
spread in the open air and are en
thusiastic over this event.

picnicking on the banks of the
Rogue. There was a large number
of the membership and friends parti
cipating In this delightful summer
day outing, some going in autos,
some in hacks, while a number of
the younger members walked. It
Is a pleasant 10 minute walk from
the city to the park and this is a fine
place for picnic parties and Is be
ing more frequented In this manner
as the warmer days approach.
Mr. and Mrs. Chas Hall entertain
ed in a week-end party at their home

Tdite Fou rlli of July Mentions.
There were many finely decorated
store windows in this city during
the Fourth, nmong those deserving
of sperlnl mention were the two win
dows of the Coron-Booth Hardware
company. In the north window w;u
a fine collection of all kinds of tools
used In the building trade. Tho;i
were displayed In a most artistic
manner and decorated with red,
white nnd blue. Tho other window
contained a display of builders'
hardware of niot every descrip
tion. Here the decorations were also
very fine. The windows attracted
much attention.
The windows of the Sugar Pine
oecorniea wnn nne goods In nil lines
contained In the dry goods doiiniv-
ment. The arrangement of samples
was artistic and really beautiful.
Tho big store windows of R. L.
Coe & Company presented a very
fine appearance. It was very plain
thnt the artist had been there and it
was equally plain that a fine picture
had been turned out.
The Sabln drug store window con
tained a new feature entirely. In it
wns a glass fountain containing pure
water from which appeared to flow
In one bottle red liquid, another
white and In a third blue. It was
a display decidedly unique.
Calhoun Clothing company nuuh
a display In their windows or up-to-date
clothing and gents' furnishing
goods nnd each article was plaeod
with fine taste and good effect.

A Cosily Job.
The county board has advertised
for bids to tear down the old bridge
but so far there has been no bids re
ceived. The job is evidently not a
desirable one. The subject was men
tioned to President Easterday by the
Courier man on Tuesday and he said
he was sorry that no bids had been
received as the bridge should be
taken down without delay. He was
then asked why he did not make a
bid and he replied that he did not
like the job and If he undertook it
j he would be obliged to charge $6,000
j to do the work.
