The heavy rains of the past few days have somewhat retarded the' work of road Improvement throughout Marion countyt but as soon as' the weatller per mits; the work will be resumed and will be continued until the-baying' season opens. Much good has'been ' accom pli KheI by the cooperation' of the resi dent in' the' various districts this spring-, the result being apparent on all sides. All - the work done on the public highways In, Marion county during the past two months, has been of a permanent nature, and next 'sea son the work can be taken up where It is left oft this year. The- several road leagues organized' In -this county during ths early spring have accom plished a great deal in. the, way of se curing voluntary subscriptions toward road Improvement, and their work has riea rly demonstrated . . what ; i combined effort will do. Between" $6,090 -and 17,000, lo subscriptions and donation work has been secured so far,, and more Is In sight.

The dairy farmers of 'the United states Are wide awake and progressive, especially where their interests are j concerned. Recently tnejr1-have been catching the enthusiasm of! the good roads movement. - The National Dairy Union Is one of the greatest farmers organizations In the country.'

The committee has full and complete control of the ex penditure of the 'money appropriate br the State for the fair to be held in Portland in 1905, and its duty is to expend the same , for the purpose for which it was appropriated, and any duty necessary to be performed for the purpose, is the duty of the commission. and X am unable to discover any ser vice in connection with the expendi ture of the $500,000 appropriated by il- State which la not a service to be per formed by the commission.

An effort is being made by the Ru ral Mail Carriers delivering from the Salem office, to effect a State organisa tion of the rural free delivery .carriers of Oregon. Some of the local carriers have resolved themselves into a com mittee, and are sending out circulars to the carriers of the state, asking them to meet in Salem on July S, for organisation. . In all of the Eastern States, similar organizations have already been, effect ed, and have proven to be of much va lue to the rural mall carriers. There are now- sixty-are carriers in Oregon, nearly all, of them in. Western Oregon, and if the effort succeeds, which it no doubt will, the result will be quite a ga thering in the Capital City of Uncle Sam's, mall; carriers.; This - branch ; of the service " has grown, in a short time to be of enor mous size, and one of the most in: portant, if not actually the most lm portant of the .postofflce .department. There are now over 15,000 -carriers. in the United States, and: the. Salem of flee, with nine routes -already estab Ushed and one prospective route which will probably be established soon, is with one exception, the most Import ant rural free delivery office in -the State. Certainly the rural districts surrounding the Capital- City,- are-well served by the great rural free delivery system, and have reason to feel grot c- ful for its being established. he rural carriers are being recog nized in many ways,, and recently Postmaster General. Payne issued a general order to the effect that all Na tlonal holidays such as July 4th. will be observed by the rural mail carriers, and from this time on no mail will be carried to the rural districts on these days. - . , , - a,When the system was . first estab Ushed, the salaries of the carriers Was fixed at 3500 per annum, but it was soon found that efficient service could not be secured at that rate, and the salary was advanced tot 3 C00. But this amount has also proved entirely in adequate to pay a man living wages. who has to keep two horses and a.'wa gon. '. . , ..

He Is the best paymaster, and on pay day the money is always ready but the general conditions of the service were not gen erally understood." The carriers have found that they cannot, make a penny out of their monthly stipend of 350. afterthe wear and tear of their out fits had been paid, horse feed bill paid, and living expenses for their families and local boards.

In many instances carriers have gradually gone behind until they were compelled to resign and sell their out fits to raise money to Pay off thir debts. ' : - . .'.-t In the United States at the present time rural carriers are resigning at the rate of seventy-five per dayt .and many of them are compelled to remain In the sen-ice 1 because new carriers cannot be secured. The R. F. D. News, a weekly twiner published in the interest of the Rural Mail Carriers, has commenced -a cam paign to cause the salaries to be raised. According to a recent ruling, carriers are not allowed to appeal to Congress men for help, and so this' newspaper. asks every patron along - the route who has the interest of the service at heart, to write to the Congressmen of their districts, asking for' relief of this branch of the mall service.

One of His Prescriptions. THAT Love sometimes cures disease is fact that has recently been called ,to the attention of the public by a prom inent physician and college professor. : la some nervous diseases of women, such as hysteria, this physician gives instances where women were put in a pleasant frame of mind, were made happy by fall ing in love, and in consequence were cured of their nervous troubles the weak,' nervous system toned and stimu lated by little Dr. Cupid became strong ad vigorous, almost without theix knowledge. Love is not, however, the cure for all. women. Many a woman is nervous and j irritable, feels dragged . down and worn out for no reason that she can think of. She may be ever so ' much in love, but Dr. Cupid fails to cure ( hv In such cases the body is not sound the nervousness and other symp toms are telegraphed all over the body by the nerves (which is the telegraphic system of the human body ) because the weak spot demands attention. In nine - ty-nine per cent, of these cases it is the womanly organism which reauires st- : teation ; the weak back, dizzy spells and J black circles about the eyes, re only symptoms. Go to the . source of the trouble and correct the irregularities, the drains on the womanly system and the other symptoms disappear. This can be done easily and intelligently. So sure of it, is the World's Dispensary Medical Association, pro rie tors of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, that they offer " - . - A $$00 REWARD For women who cannot be cured of len corrhea, female weakness, prolapsus or falling of womb. All the v ask is a fair and reasonable trial of - their means of cure. .. Their financial responsibility is well known to every newspaper publisher and druggist in the United States, with most of whom they have done business for over a third of a century. Frou this fact it will readily be seen how utterly foolish it would be for them to make the above unprecedented and remarkable offer if they were not basing their offer oh curative means having an Unparal leled record. No other medicine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription could possibly "win out" as the saying goes, on such a proposition. But they know whereof they speak. They hare the most remark able , record of cures made by this world-famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any frt7s.-1t.too tiallvy?esigned for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments.
