been filed with tho engineer's office,
nil from locol people. Tho clearing
covered In this contract will bo that
extending to Jerome prairie, a point
6H miles from this city. To Allen
creek tiro right-of-way has been
cleared tho full one hundred feet In
width, but from thcro on tho clear
ing will bo only of such width ns will
be necessary to tho making of the
grades and the moving of dirt In the
cuts and fills.
From tho city out across Jerome

necessary, thero being no cuts of
depth. Tho engineering department
is thcrcforo contemplating tho let
ting of a great number of Individual
contracts, each of n few hundred feet

price per yard of earth moved. Much
of this grading Is shovel work, and
by taking a contract in this way men

CATARBHABLOOD
A polluted and impure condition of the blood causes irritation nnd in
flammation of the different mucous membranes of the body, and we call it
Catarrh. The early stages of the disease are characterized by such symp
toms as a tight, stuffy feeling in the nose, watery eyes, ringing noises in
the cars, irritation of the throat, nnd often hoarseness nnd difficult breathing-.
If the trouble is not checked it invades the stomach and other portions of
the body and becomes n dangerous disorder. Antiseptic washes, sprays,
etc., are beneficial in removing accumulated mucus from the nose or throat,
but such treatment can never cure Catarrh. S. S. S. is the one real de
pendable remedy for Catarrh. This great medicine cures the disease be
cause it purifies the blood and thus destroys its cause. S. S. S. goes into
i,MorY-ilntinn nml trmnvr the last trace of catarrhal matter, and then the
blood performs us wort oi nounsning inc
membranes nnd tissues instead of depositing
impure matter Into them to irritate anu in
flame. S. S. S. cures to stay cured. If you
h.tve Cnt.irrh In nn v form take S. S. S. and
cure it as thousands have done. Book on Catarrh and any medical in! vice
free to all who write. S. S. S. is sold nt drug stores. I

He has been a resident of Med ford for seven years, and people know him to bo high minded, honest, progressive and enter
prising. The public market brings city and country together and has greatly tended to reduce tho cost of living. It wns advocated by
the Mail Tribune and the Oreater Medford Club long before official action was taken. However, to Mr. AVaii, as councilman, be
longs the credit of introducing tho bill and putting the market on its present satisfactory basis. Tic is the father of the public,

ient number of saloons in Medford for the present population and is opposed to granting additional licenses until there is a mater
ial increase in the size of tho city. If you believe the saloon question should bo handled in this manner then vote for Watt.
