County Examiner, and CoutracU.wcre
awardoj In each case to the lowest
and boat bidder.
No contract tins been let for the

recovied for tho work were considered
ao unreasonably hlicb that the Couuty
Court rejected ivery bid submitted
and bun mndo arrangements to cou

or rather by the tiour'a work, ao tiiat
each man employed shall be paid by

tnau by the bout the queation of bow
many hours shall constitute day'a
work has been entirely eliminated ;
and by rejecting all bids for tho con
struction of the building and having
toe work louo in this maimer the
Court is of tho opinion that a saving
of nut lesa thuu from MoiiO to fTOUO
cat) be made for the taxpayers of tho
Couuty.
lo superintend tho construction of
the building the services of two ox
lerieuced and uoinpoteut men have

no that each barrel of Lime costs .at
Madeline, freight paid, only 12.55 1-2
per barrel.
Uoldeu Gate Cement, which Is also
one of the best brands of cemont In
tho market, was quoted at $1.1)0 per
barrel of 400 pounds each or t'2. 10 per
barrel in Hacks of 100 pounds each.
Tho Cemeut was purchased lu sucks
for the reason that there la no loss
from leakage, while If purchned in

leakage, and also from the breaking of
barrels due to wagon transportation.
A sack of Cement, therefore, font, 52
1-2 Cents with a froight rate of ,11 3-4

Portland Or. Apr. (Special corres
pondence.) With the pannage by the
Senate a short time ago of the Army
bill the way is paved for the establish

bring the Fourth Oregon regiment up
to a regular army basis as required by

panies.
ApDlications fro a almost every
thriving city In the state are being

The desirability and advantage of

at sucb points as Eugene, Roseburg,
Ashalnd, Cottage Orove, Mc.Minnville,

Baker City and Pendleton while strong
applications for one of the new com
panies Lave been tendered by each

Klamath Falls. Other applications
are being received weekly. The last

Cure for Nose-bleeding

In the last few months The Exam

much experience with the ailment
many year ago, also having cured
the same entirely from a remedy found
in an old scrap book, and believing
the remedy much better than either of
the others pobliehed, I present the
same for the benefit of yoni readers.
Furthermore, I have shown the reme

presence, and was successful in every
instance. However, it only applies to
the ordinary nose bleed, the small

AT THE CHURCHES
EUSTEBJOHOM,
High Mass at the Opera
House.
SERVICES AT M- E- CHURCH-
Large Crowds Attend
Gatherings, and are
Highly Pleased.
Both
The Easter Services Couducted at
the Metboiddt Church by L. W.
Couuter, were highly apperciated
by all who attended and the house
was filled to the doors and many
left because they could not find even
standing room inside the Church
The songs by the choir and those
by the little folks, were very beauti
ful. The recitations by the little
girls and boys were grand, and
parents and friends of the sneakers
must have been proud of their child
dren. Two little tots who attractd
special attention because of their
age and size, were little Miss Cbeny,
child of Mr. and Mrs. AL Cbeny, and
little Miss Reid, child of Mr. and
Mrs. Chas. Reid. Other little speakers
were listened to with rapt attention
because of their perfect
not only for the particular
training.
occasion,
but their prepardaess for
any like
event.
The services of the Most Holy Mass
at the Opera house last Sunday morn
ing were very beautiful and inirrefi
sive. The servicesjto some were, of
course, a puzzle. But to those who
understand that every movement of
the Priest on the Alter is a symbol of
the Li'e and Death of Jesus Christ,
it then becomes a very sacred cere
mony. The choir, nnder the supervision
nM M'k Biic.Mips, sung the latin mass
most beanifully. Their clear young
voices rang out sweet and true, the
the joyous melodies of the Benedic
tion were especially beautiful.
The Ochesrtra's selection Largo
Hadel, and Palms Faure, were
sublime, and most appropriate.
The sermon, by Father Vasta, while
short, was to the point, and vested
in perfect language, and listened to
with rapt attention by the immense
gathering of people, who completely
filled the opera house, several having
to leave for lack of room.
Father Vasts's Banquet
The Banquet given by Father Vasta ,
last Mondsy evening in honor of the
young ladies who participated in the
choir, was a very pleasnt affair. The
Father was so grateful to Miss Snell -ing
and the young ladies, that he felt
that be could not do enough for them
The table was spread with all the
good things one could think of;
notbiug was lacking to make it a per
fect feast, and cooked to perfection by
the ladies of the Catholic church, and
was a feast long to be remembered by
tnose fortunate enough to receive an
invitation.
A few invited guests were present
besides the choir. Dr. B. Daly, Mr.
and Mrs. V. L . Sneliing. Mrs. Wm.
Harvey, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Umbaon
Mrs. Barry, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Price,
C. O. Metzker and wife. Miss Sneli
ing, Miss Hall, Mr. Wm. Proudfoot,
Mr. James Partin, Mr. Carrigan of
San Francicso. Those who pre
pared and served the delicious repast,
were: Mrs. James McShaue, Mrs.
Loftos, and Mrs. Babel.
The choir oonsisted of the Misses.
Edua Penland, Lora Chandler, Eva
Clark, Fay Barnes, Lena McShane,
Bertha Loftus, Marie McShane, Myr
tle Hahu, Vinnie Henderson, Lena
O'Shea, Elm a Chandler, Vale Loftus.
A Sad Record
We uote. with Badness, that two of
our exebauges this week, the Cedar
villo Califoriua, Record, and the Vre
ka, Calif., Journal, devote tho larger
part of their news space to obituaries
of loved ones. Five deaths occurred
in aud about Cedarville last week
withiu the period of oue week. And
the same number of deaths were re
corded in the Vreka Journal. A sad
record ijded for small commuinties,
for one week. There did not seem to
prevail auy certaiu disease, nor are
those communities considered un
healthy. Both are possessed of health
ful and vigorous climates.
