of the war department will be carried
across the Hulled States from I'lym-
outn Itock to Seattlo, Wash., to the
oommandliis officer of Fort Lawton.
This message will be one for the pur

tion that can bo brought to boar In
case of necessity.
The war department will write the

the qualities of endurance and service
ability. All of theso things must be

Fort Lawton, Wash.
CARS OF ANY CITY
There has of late been much specu
lation iu the newspapers as to which
of the larger cities of the United States
lias the greatest number of ears on Its
streets In proportion to its population.
Interesting figures have been compiled
showing tho number of motor enra
licensed in the various cities' of over
100,000 population. Chicago, with a
population of 2,185,283, has 43,238 cars,
or 6000 moro than New York City,
which with ItB 4,766,882 Inhabitants,
has 38,921 cars. Detroit, the center of
the automobile Industry, has 465,766
Inhabitants and 30,9-19 cars. Los An
geles with a population of 528,817
(count of 1915) had on its streets
May 15, 33,741 cars.
Tho figures for the population of the
other cities nro thoso of the 1915 cen
sus nud If the number of curs they lay
claim to wero compared with the esti
mates of present population, their pro
portions of cars ia Inhabitants would
doubtlosB undergo somo radical change.

Their work in New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania and Ohio has received the high
est praise from the communities

Wyo., before the present touring sea
son Is completed.
When using polish around the brass
handles, hinges, etc., of the caritry to
keep any from getting on the paint, as

and went up to one of his camps on
Antelope creek and your correspon
dent went along, Just for company,
and noted as we were passing, that
Mr. Frank Dybee has been making
some changos In his residence, but I
wus disappointed to find that tho
genoral appearance of the country
bus not changed for the bettor, in the
last 10 years, the game old rail
fences and tho houses and barns have
rather a seedy appearance, nnd thero
Ib qullo a lot of land up there that
looks as though it was good land if
the rocks and brush! was cleared off,
and the road was Just passable, but
the bridges are a disgrace to the
con at y, If not to the people living
along the route. Mr. Lovegren spoke
to William Lewis, the chaffeur, about
getting an auto truck to go up and
move the men and their camp equip
age out and taking them up on Rogue
river, and he said that the bridges
were so rotten and delapidated that
they would not bear up under the
weight, so he had to hire four ordi
nary autos to do tho work that should
have been dono with an ordinary
freighting truck.

DANGERS OF A COLD
MtNlfrml People Will Do Well to
Heed Them
i Many bad cases of kidney trouble
result from a cold or. chill. Congest
ed kidneys fall behind in filtering the
poison-laden blood and backache,
headache, dizziness and disordered
kidney action follow. Don't neglect
a cold. Use Doan's Kidney Pills nt
the first Blgn of kidney trouble. Fol
low this Medford resident's example:
Mrs. J. II. Gustln, 521 S. Grape St.,
Medford, says: "I have been taking
Doan's Kidney Pills whenover I have
felt the need of a kidney medicine
for several years an dl have always
received the most satisfactory results.
My. kidneys seem to be my weakest
spot and every little cold or strain
affects them and my back becomes
weak or lame. After I have taken
a couple of boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills, my kidneys become normal and
In every way, I feel as well and
tsorng as ever."

simply ask for a kidney remedy get

through town Monday morning for
Medford,
There seems to be a vast amount
of travel through this section of the
country, for almost every day we
have from ten to twenty transients
hore for dinner. Among the guests
Monday was D. M. Lowe of Ashland.
Mr. lowe is the man who seems to
be doing a lot of pushing for the
county fair next week. He was
gathering up different kinds of vege
tables to place on exhibition and he
bad with him two large squashes' that
be secured of J. B. Jackson to put
in the exhibit building; in Medford.
He told me that he had secured the
services of Mrs. L. K. Haak of Eagle
Point to help work up an Interest in
the fair in this section, and that she
Is going to place on exhibition somo
of the products of the farm and poul
try yard. Mrs. Haak is a live wire,
if I may use such an expression with
regard to a lady, and she will ex
ert an Influence for good. I don't
know, but I think her little son will
have somo of the product of his gar
den on display. Mr. Lowe says that
he hopes to get the farmerB Interested
in the fair, so as to make it a perma
nent institution of the county, as he
has secured the co-operation of 75
of the merchants of Medford in the
work and that they are plannlng to
buy 40 acres of land near Medford,
put up a building and have a place to
have our county meets. Let all hands
take hold and give it a push upward.
iMr. J. Hart of Ashland was helping
Mr. Lowe boost the fair.
Perry Foster and his son, John,
were here Monday for dinner, and so I
was Fort Hubbard and Wilbur Rum-
ley, a traveling man selling thresh
ing machines.
Bert Higlnbotham and family had
some trouble Monday with their Ford
and bad to stop here and have an
expert, Mr. Hurd, repair It. They are
stopping at the Sunnyside at this
writing.
S. H. Harnish and family went
to Josephine county to visit Mrs. Har
nishe's parents Sunday.
Harry W. Johnson of Brooklyn N,
Y., representing Elcay Toilet Prepar
ations, and Robert E. Mose of Oak
land, Cal., spent the night at the
Sunnyside Monday.
Harvey Hill of Brownsboro .was
with us Sunday night.
Hermon Meyor, Jr., brought in two
crates of chickens for our new depot
agent, Amos Arfees, Monday.
John Ashpole of Medford came
out to visit his son, Roy and family,
Tuesday, but found that Roy had
left this morning for a two-day'B hunt
In the hills. Ho and Mrs. Roy Ash
pole took dinner at the Sunnyside and
bo did Mr. C. Ceppell and daughter
and 14 other transients.
Tuesday morning about 6:30
o"clock the alarm of fire' was given
and in less time than it would take
to think, the whole of the root of
S. H.. Harnlsh's livery barn was in
a blaze. The fire seemed to have
caught in the bay in the loft Mr.
Harnish and a hired man were work
ing the barn at the time, but they
can form no idea how the fire origi
nated, as the hay, about 30 tons, was
as dry as a bone and could not have
caused the conflagatlon. They man
aged to save all the horses and a part
of the harness, saddles, etc., and all
of the rigs, except two buggies nnd a
surry. The loss is partly covered by
insurance. I do not know it Mr. Har
nish will rebuild or not, but the
livery stable Is quite a loss to hliu
and to the town and community at
large, . : "
