accepted these positions knowing
that we will have to sacrifice a great
deal of our time In order to fill them
as they should be. 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.

RECOMMENDATION OF
THE XEW MAYOR
Keep t Clean ami Free from Dls
raw by t'slnat PnrNInn Rnire.
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. Demeray and watch
how rapid Its action.
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-

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

rcitlnunlly being made too wide or
too narrow by Improvements which
ar going on without regard to cor

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.

Htr Ar Fact W Want You to Provo
at Our Risk.
Marvelous as It may seem, Rexall
"93" Hair Toule has grown hnlr oil
heads that were once bald. Of course,
in none of these cases were the hair
roots dead, uor had the scalp taken on
a glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall "03" Hair Tonic acts scien
tifically, destroying the germs( which
are usually responsible for baldness.
It penetrutes to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them, li
is a most pleasant toilet necessity, is
delicately perfumed, aud will not gum
or permaneutly stain the hair.'
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "03" Hair Touic and use it as
directed. If it does not relieve sculp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falllne out and promote
an increased growth of hair, and In
every way nive entire satisfaction,
simply come back and tell us, and with
out question or formality we will band
back to you every penny you paid us
for it. Two size, ."lie. and $1.00. Sold
