Clarence Chandler, In Charge of the Conservatory of Music. A LI? A NY. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.) A conservatory of music, which will confer degrees and diplomas, will be established at Albany Col lege with the beginning of the next school year, September 23- For many years music has been taught at the local Institution, but there have been no courses leading to graduation. A graded course tn all lines of music will now be Instituted. The new department of Albany College will be in charge of Pro fessor Clarence Chandler, who comes to Albany from Waupaca. Wis. He is a graduate of the Conservatory of Music of Oberlln College in Ohio and has studied under several private In structors. He has had eight years' experience as a teacher. Professor Carroll H. Palmer, who was Instruc tor In voice culture in the college last year, will be In charge of that department In the new conservatory. In event of the failure of the roads to come to an agreement within that time, the Commission will order the location and will decree the share of the expense each road must bear. Evidence as to these connections of tracks was heard some weeks ago by the Commission. The order Issued today requires con nections of the tracks of the Northern Pacific with those of the O. R. & N. at Connell, Pullman, Farmington and Oakes dale; connections between the Spokane & Inland electric line and the O. R. & I I . - ; - t r ! ; - - ' ' i NEWBRO'S While it is not natural for everyone to have extremely long hair, it is possible for every lady, to have . beautiful hair, for when the scalp, is not diseased, the hair will grow naturally and abundantly. The chief , disease of the scalp is dandruff which is highly . contagious and dandruff Is now known to be caused by an invisible vegetable growth called the dandruff germ. Ordinarily the first signs of scalp infec tion are dryness, dullness and brittleness of the hair, although the disease sometimes causes excessive oiliness. Following this, the hair loes its luster, the scalp itches more or less and dandruff appears. Falling hair and baldness represent the last stages of hair destruction. Newbro's Herpicide the original remedy that kills the dandruff germ will cure any stage of this disease,' except chrome baldness, which is incurable. Herpicide not only destroys the dandruff germ and stops falling hair, but it is a most exquisite hair-dressing, making the hair light and fluffy and giving it a silken 'gloss. Almost marvelous results sometimes follow the continued use of Herpicide. It stops itching of the scalp almost instantly. . ...

SETTLE CASH REWARDS Question as to When Officers Get Them and When the Relief Fund. Under what .conditions cash rewards for the arrest of criminals .should go to the officers making the capture, and when they should be retained as a part f the police and fire relief fund is . a question up for solution before the po lice committee of the Executive Board. It has been a cause of dispute for years past, and it is probable that a Joint meeting of the police and fire commit tees will soon be held to outline a policy for future guidance. The subject came up at a meeting of the police committee yesterday after noon when several applications for the return of rewards were considered. One of these was from Detective Hellyer, who has asked the committee to refund to him $125, his share of a reward paid for the apprehension of Charles Bock, a man who led an attack on non-union sailors on the Johann Poulsen last year. Hellyer turned the money in to Chief Grltzmacher and then asked that It be returned to him. The charter provides that all rewards be paid to the relief fund, but gives the commission discretion to return such Lasting, Results from using "I am blessed with an abundance of long hair and I use the ut most care in the preservation of it. I have never found ar.vthing that pleases me as much as Newbro's Herpicide. It keeps the scalp clean and sanitary and adds a luxurious appearance to my hair that no other preparation will give. I consider It most delightful to use and I can truly say that I prefer it above all other prepara tions for the hair. I like your soap also and can recommend both highly to any lady who wishes a good head of hair." (Signed) JENNIE A. ABBOTT, 2443 Warden Avenue. 1 CLEVELAND, OHIO.

It was testified that the arrest of Bock was a risky Job, as it was made when feeling along the waterfront ran high because of the. strike. Hellyer testified that he did not turn in the reward until about six months after he received it, and not until he was asked to do so by Captain Bruin. The fact that he did not act promptly after receiving the money lessens his chances to have it returned to him. Ex-Detective Day was also before the committee, petitioning for tl return of $100 paid him for arresting a bank embezzler from Milwaukee, Wis. The ar rest was made at the Hotel Oregon, when Day was a member of the city detectlvB force. Another request for the return of a reward of $20 came from Patrolmen Tichenor and Jones. SITE FOR NEW CITY JAIL Some Hints Albout Location, With East Side Mention. PORTLAND, Sept. 8. (To the Editor.) It is not too lata to offer a suggestion as to the proper location of the new City Jail and Emergency Hospital. . 8ome advo cate that It should be located In the lower part of the cUy, as most of the criminals are located there, and that the Jail should 1-e erected convenient to this class. I hold & different opinion. I note from The Or gonlan that the City Council is favorably Impressed with a location In this part of the city. Why move a Jail from the preflent lo cation, and perhaps erect the building on a site so situated that if a citizen wishes some nlsht to make a complaint of being "held up" he must go throua-h a lonely part of the city, and run chances of asraln being interfered with in reaching police headquarters? Why build the City Jail, Emergency Hos pital and Municipal Court building In e poor location just because the jail depart- HER PICIDE -EXHIBIT- AT THE Pure Food Show ment is for the criminal class, and make the mistake the Government did in the se lection of a Custom-House site a splendid building and a credit to any city, but who knows we have such a line building in Portland? It Is so Isolated that, the late Judge Bellinger preferred the cramped quarters In the Postoffice building for hl court ' tn preference to a court In the Custom-House, where It was . Intended to be. We must take Into consideration that the Municipal Court and Emergency Hos pital are to be In connection with the Jail, and should be centrally located to all parts of the business district of the city, the East Side of the river also being con sidered. In many cities 'he Jail and city hall are combined, jvhlch shows that a Jail prop erly conducted is not an objection. The present Jail site has been condemned by several grand Jurl :s in their reports to the court, and In one report from thorn they recommended Its remval to the ,top Iloor of the City Hall, which was then unoccu pied. Now then, If these new buildings cannot be placed cn the East Side when we are about to build a modern Jail and emergency hospital, why not select a site where It will be high and dry and con venient to the City Hall and Courthouse, and where It will be a credit to the city? H. A. CALEF. Purchases Site for Gas Plant. 6. V. Davldsor, of the St. John Gas Heat ing & Lighting Company, has purchased the property of .the Steel Ship Building Company on the corner of Richmond and Bradford streets.
