We are duty bound to our constituents to give the time necessary to carry on the work Just the same as If we were re ceiving a salary for every day's labor required. In conclusion, I wish to thank the retiring mayor and members of the council for the many courtesies shown me during the past year, and trust that this council will work with the united harmony that has mark ed the work of the administration of the past year, and that the good work of making Grants Pass greater, prettier and among the most pro gressive cities of the great state of Oregon will continue.

If you want your children to grow up with Btrong, sturdy and vigorous hair, tench them to iiw Parisian Sage; the world renowned Hair Ton ic. " Parisian Sage Is gunranteed by C. H. Demerny to cure dandruff and stop fallng hair In two weeks. It grows new hair quickly In cases where the hair Is "thlnnlnx out." It Is positively the most delightful, InvUnratln hnlr dressing on th market. It Is not sticky or greasy and will make the coarsest half soft, lustrous nn luxuriant. Get a bot tle from C. 11.

We Hslt tn thank our friends and tiplsbhors who remember' d and as sisted us so kindly In our recent le renviieTi throi'ih the "kness nnd death of our beloved little daughter. MR. AN'I) MRS. M. H. IHM'SM AN. Gentlement of the Council: We have a great deal of hard labor be fore us to meet the demands of our growing city. As you know, we were busy during the past year with our business Btreets and under our old system it requires a great deal more time to handle business of the city than It ought to. We have outgrown our present system of doing business and should adopt more moderu methods. During the coming year a great deal of our time will be taken up In handling drainage, sewers and grad ing residence streets. (1) Therefore, I recommend that our city offices be systematized so that the business may be handled as it should be, and that an office be provided for the auditor and police Judge and that a suitable salary be provided for that officer. (2) Also that a more commodi ous room be provided for the coun cil, one that would not only be com fortable, but one large enough that citizens who desire to attend the meetings could do so. Our city hall building Is located on a good bunl ness lot and can be disposed of at a good price and a more suitable building built on a less expensive lot. I recommend tnat st? be taken to sell this property and ouc cf tht proceeds build a new city hall (3) That a special election be called to vote on the amendment of our charter, whlrh is at present very antiquated to say the Itast, to pro vld for Issuing bonds to liquidate oit outstanding warrant Indebted ness and to further provide for a tax lew sufficient to meet the running expenses of the city. In view of the fact that all of the servers that were constructed several ycTs ago were not properly eon st'-ucted several years ago were not properly constructed and will have to be relald at a heavy expense to t.h city, I recommend that ih feas ibility of turning Gilbert creek Into a sanitary storm sewer be Invest I gf'ed and when It becomes necessary to run a trunk line on Ninth and T"ith streets, that Skunk creek may be taken up In the same way. That opening up new street and "' Ing care of surface water In the "Hdenrp portion of the city be vlg- . a a V i t a a or...,,. rsrrlP(j on. ii is important thif all street lines be located and properly marked by permanent mon uments to conform to the orlglnnl plats and surveys.

Remember that we have j Deafness Can Not Re Cured by local applications, as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitution al remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed. Deaf ness Is the result, and unless the in flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal con dition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for cir culars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.
