"For reveral winters pact my wife lias been troubled with n most persistent ami disagreeable cough, which invari ably covered a period of several wceka and canned her ninny nleeple(-s niiiMs.o writes Will .1. Iliiyncr, editor of th Hurley, ('(do., Bulletin. "Various rem edied were tried each year, with nn lienefieiul results. In November last tho cough again put in nn appearunce and my wife, acting on the undent ion of a friend, purchaHed a bottlo of ('limn- heiliiin's Oouh Hemedy. The rpsiilt wiih Indeed nmrvelous. After three doH'B the cough entirely dipappcarcd and liaa not miinifcMed itself Hince." This remedy is for sale byjvier & Cass. The Water Question. It la gratifying indeed to note the pi ogress being made in the debate for nuinioipal water. Whatever id con ceded in the argument by the week, "we shall onnaider closed, and except for reluforoing of other statements try to keep it closed, especially this: "Tbe fact that It (Hood Kiver) needs more water provisions, and ia admitted by the water company." Very good quite a change from the stand taken last March. The city council and certain other private allairs, they uIho now wish to drag out. Very well. If a mistake was made by their introduction it will be remembered that the president of the wnter company dragged them In. If the mistake Is owned, as it evidently U, another great concession is made. The $ti,(X)0 salaries and the $75, (XX) bonds or the income derived from the plants ate germane, unless per o'miice the oompauy owns to Ha mis take iu tiying to tight the city at all lu Its ellort for more Hud better water. Should these errois be owned, the stand ou property rights be re tracted, tbe News kettle limn again into being n uewspHper, pointing the noods iustoad of au organ, we ahull be glad. The question therefor returns to the oiigiual motion proposed by the city council to uhiinge the charter. Bl ull the charter be changed? Veal llccauso the income from a watei plant been adopted. Why follow euuu au absurd pun here? Ibis, of course, pulls the teetb out of tbe tax dragon. lu all other tonus, however, each water usvr pays tbe same amount for water, lbe tenter and tbe banker pay each the tame rate and If each uie tbe tame quantity of water each paji ao equal sum toward interest, ilxed charge aud bonds. It is this fact clearly seen and worked out into actual experience In other towns that makes tbe inference to tax payers and heavy property holders so absurdly ridiculous. Of all the multitude of replies from towns both in and out of Oregon n it a slnglu oue reports ever having paid a cent ot tax. Water rates have met Ilxed charges and paid out tbe bonds. The city of Ashlaud is niott like tbe required plant in Mood Kiver. It pays to the city above all repairs, extensions, Ilxed charges aud bonds about 67,XX per year. Their lates per mouth tire for bniwe $1, t'rr bath i ID, tor toilet, $ 10, for irrigating, .''."), or a total of If 13 C5 per )ear. llui d Kiver pays just ?2G for this same service, or $10 ,'13 in excess of AshlHiid. iiHiarles uniuuiitlug to u,iiuu per annum are to the point. If thW sum went iuto our city tieasury indei.d ot private purses, and If each houe bolder were spared iu uddition 10.35, it would make quite n dillerence to U8. We concede this argument not gcr muue, except in so fur as it removes tho News Kditor's grave fears over tsxes. We have I card "tuxes," "heavy property holders," "more tuxes," till it becomes necessary to ihow it up and to give the experience ot' reveiiteeii other towns, all of which repoit, "no tax." The tax cry here reminds iih ot the clergyman who was so fond of ex postulating ou iutaut baptism that he exhausted tho patience ot his (lock. It reached such a pass that the emigre gallon thought to cure hlui of iutaut baptism by selecting a text which would exclude the Idea, lie consent ed and they chose these words: "They shall grow up like calves of the stall." The following sabbath be mounted the pulpit and triumphantly announced intbese words three divisions to bis text: My tlrst is the Calves, my S'cond is the titiill, and my third is Infant Baptism. Now after showing that a wnter plant does not tax prop eity, if the charter is changed, that no oth'r town has paid a cent of direct tax, yet next week the News Editor may be expected to arise and solemnly announce: "My third is tax." Herein lies the difference between high school bond, sewer bond oi pav ing bond aud a water bnud. The II rut have to he paid aud with interest; the last pays itt-olf and witb I utmost anil without $ti,000 salaries. Shall the oliBitei he changed in re gard to a Uo-tbirds vote to curry a bund Issue? lea. It a majority, not a minority, shall rule. Is it out ot place to ak who are shouting auuinst thin obanue: tho busiuesii men? Not oue. The laboring men? Not one. The clergy? Not one. I lie lawyers? Not one Who, then, is so scaled of a majority? The Water Company aud their f'lgun, The News. We have just learned of a private toll road so like Hood liivor's struggle for water that we respect it. Fourteen faimeis lived in a small valley, who used a private toll road to let them out onto tbe public highway. hive farmers owued the toll road and divided the cash, while nine men clamored to construct a good highway. Five It majority of nine on two thirds vote, so the nine men went into court. In court the Ofe men urged the judge most vehe mently against a majority and In favor of a two third vote. The judge became curious to know what in fluenced thee Hve men to advance such high sounding argument on a two-thirds vote, so be Inquired of them. The Hut thought anything done up in that valley wa important ought to meet pietty nearly the unan imous opinion ot tbe valley. Tbe second thought if tbe people weie not unamlmoiis tbe thing ought not to he done. The third thought tbe men who started the game were wise Bnd their wisdom ought to be respected. The fourth "thought so, too." Hut tbe fifth, a simple fellow, said, "ye see, jedg, its this here way: We-uos is five snd them' nine. Now we-atsi keep tbe gate and divide tbe swag, and we don't want no majority In oui'n, not on yer life " Publioity Committee.
