The action of the county court In contracting for the building of a bridge across the Rogue near Mas sie's ferry has raised a storm of pro test In different localities in the county, and there have been many threats that Injunction proceedings would be Instituted to enjoin the court in the matter. The first definite action, however, was taken by Merlin Grange No. 471, on the 22nd Inst., when resolu tions were adopted opposing the building of the bridge, and laying the ground work for Injunction to follow. The resolutions adopted were as follows: "Whereas, the county court of Josephine county, Oregon, has de cided to expend $20,000 or more for the purpose of building a steel bridge across Rogue river near Mas- ale's ferry, and also to expend $20,- 000 additional on the Gallce wagon road; and "Whereas, this money seems to us to be out of all proportion in com parison with road money spent else where in the county according to the development of the country, this grange has gone on record by pass ing the following resolution: "We the patrons of Merlin Grange No. 471, Josephine county, Oregon, do hereby resolve that the county court of Josephine county, Oregon, be requested not to construct the bridge now proposed near Massle's ferry, nor Invoke any other unneces sary expense upon what Is called the Gallce wagon road, In the manner In which It Is now proposed, or in any other similar planner. And be It further "Resolved, that If the county court does not heed this request we, the Merlin Grange No. 471, do here by ask the patrons of the several granges of the county to get togeth er for the purpose of taking united action in serving an Injunction on the county court regarding the same, as we think' that if the Massie ferry would be purchased by the county it would serve the entire purpose of the bridge proposed." The committee that drafted this resolution was composed of A. Crow, chairman; R. S. Crockett and J. O. Hill. Accompanying the resolution was an argument, or explanation, In which the committee Bet forth the reasons for objecting to the build ing of the bridge at this time. The committee maintains that the pres ent Gallce road Is In good condition as evidenced by the fact that a team can haul two-ton loads over it with out difficulty, being as good as the average road of the county. It also argued that the proposed bridge will be six or eight feet below the high water mark of the Rogue. The bridge to which the grange objects "was ordered by the county court early in the year, contract for the steel having been awarded to the Coast Bridge Co. at a price of $7, 800, delivered at Merlin. The court Is now advertising for bids for the handling of this steel to the bridge site and its erection in place, togeth er with the construction of the con crete piers, retaining walls, etc. The Coast Bridge Co. agreed at the time the contract for the steel was award ed it that it would complete the erec tion of the bridge for an additional $1,200, or a total of $15,000 for the bridge In place. Children are much mere likely to contract contagious diseases when they have colds. Whooping cough, diphtheria, scarlet fever and con sumption are diseases that are often contracted when the child has a cold. lhat Is why all medical authorities say beware of colds. For the quick cure of colds you will find nothing better than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It can always be depended upon and Is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by all druggists.
