of Bringing Lumbermen
Here in 1909.
CORNWALL MAKES ADDRESS
Explains His Proposed .Amendment
to Interstate Commerce Laws.
Association Officers Elect
ed Keports Made.
TACOMA. Wash., Feb. 28-. (Special.) A
plan to secure the sixth annual conven
tion of the Western Retail Lumbermen's
Association for Portland was hatched at
the regular monthly meeting; of the Oregon
and Washington Lumber Manufacturers'
Association today. There are two cities
being .mentioned prominently for next
year's convention. Eastern Washington
lumbermen are boosting actively for Spo
kane, which has already entertained the
association on four occasions, but a dele
gation of 20 members from the Oregon
and Washington Association has come to
Tacoma from Portland with a wide knowl
edge of convention poflcies, and it was an
nounced tonight that Portland in 1909 Is
a sure' go. It is contended by the Port
land delegation that the Beaver City is
entitled to the convention by prior right
and the extent of lumber Interests cen
tering there.
Urge Harmony of Interests.
Today's session of the Western Retail
Lumbermen's Association was taken up
principally by addresses and debates In
volving the principal exigencies confront
ing the lumbermen: The discussion waa
more to the point of the controversies be
tween the manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers and between the railroads
and all lumber Interests In general. The
attendance was larger than on the first
day, and there was a determination to
"do things" to accomplish results, and
tibove all to advance to the greatest pos
sible extent harmony between the three
classes of the industry present.
R. W. Douglass, of Seattle, read a
paper on "Trade Relations," In which he
said the fundamental question which
members of each manufacturing asso
ciation must formally decide, is, "Are
wholesale associations and retail associa
tions right in principle or wrong In prin
ciple?" He offered a resolution recom
mending that every retail lumber dealer
who is a purchaser of Washington red
redar shingles Join the recognized Retail
Lumber Association of his section, and
that shingle manufacturers of Washing
ton should co-operate along all proper
lines with the members of the Eastern
retail lumber associations.
' Address by Cornwall.
George M. Cornwall, of Portland, de
livered an address on "Proposed Amend
ment to the Interstate Commerce Law."
in which great interest was shown by the
members. He said experience shows that
unless the Commission is empowered to
suspend and revlrw rates before becoming
effective. It is unable to carry out the func
tion for which it was created.: viz, to
stand as arbiter between the shipper and
the railroad.
Vjeorge H. "Emerson, of Hoquiam. read
one of the best papers of the day. his
subject being "The Lumber Industry
from the Standpoint of a Manufacturer
snd Timber Owner." Mr. Emerson pre
dicted that the- control of the timber
was the only hope for the mills.
W. G. Hollis, of Minneapolis, spoke of
the causes which occasioned the contro
versies between the wholesaler-and the
retailer and said, they were primarily
born from lack of informatlqn. concern
ing bad transit facilities, which the
manufacturers generally neglected to Im
part when soliciting orders.
President Merrill started considerable
discussion over the question as to whom
the retailer should support the whole
saler or the manufacturer. J. C. Weeter,
of Pocatello, W. G. Hollis. Everett Griggs
and others gave their views on the sub
ject. . ."
Reducing Fire Insurance.
' The session this morning opened with a
meeting of the Lumber Mutual Associa
tion, a co-operative fire insurance com
pany among members of the association.
President F. H. Milliard, of Tekoa. Wash.,
reported that in spite of the efforts of the
old-line companies to Induce members to
leave the Mutual by offering low rates,
the Mutual had prospered and increased
in menibers and assets. The operation of
the Mutual has- reduced the cost of insur
ance to. lumbermen from 15 to 62 per cent
during the four yeans of its existence, and
Is now furnishing Insurance at an aver
age of about 60 per -cent less than the I
regular rates. Seventy-four per cent of i
the losses last year started from spon
taneous combustion in coal bins.
The report of Secretary-Treasurer Por
ter showed assets of $50,000; liabilities,
$,T7.O00; insurance in force, Jl.500.000. F. H.

Armstrong will parley no longer, but will
strictly enforce the law, making it his
duty to destroy the trees. Thousands of

MAY REFCJTD TAX MONEY.
Judge McBride Dismisses Writ of
Review In Clatsop Case.
ASTORIA, Or., Feb. 27. (Special.)
A writ of review In the case of P.
Lawler et al. vs. -Clatsop County was
argued In the Circuit Court yesterday
and dismissed without costs to either
party. The case is one in which the
plaintiffs are asking for the refund of
about $500, being the price paid by
them to the county for a timber claim
purchased at a tax sale and which was
later found to have been assessed er
roneously, and the writ of review was
from the decision of the county court
in denying the plaintiff's claim. In
dismissing the writ. Judge- McBride
said there was a question of facts to
be determined in this case, which
could not be done without the evidence
being submitted and the proper way
to bring the matter up was either by
a suit in equity or a suit against the
county charging fraud. In commenting
on this case, the court said It differs
materially from most claims to re
cover money on tax purchases. He
said every one should know that In
purchasing a tax title very little is
obtained and there Is no question, but
when the property involved Is subject
to taxation, the purchaser buys at his
own risk. In the case at Issue, how
ever, the property is shown to have
belonged to the state of Oregon and
was, therefore, not subject to taxation,
so, the court added, there Is a serious
question whether the county could not
be compelled to refund the money If
proper action is brought.

utmost care in the preservation of It. I have never found any

the scalp clean and sanitary and adds a luxurious appearance to
my hair that rjo other ' pre. -ration will give. I consider It most

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 infection
are dryness, dullness and brittleness of the hair, although the disease sometimes causes excessive oiliness. Fol
lowing this, the hair loses its luster, the scalp itches more or less and dandruff appears. . Falling hair and bald
ness represent the last stages of hair destruction. r
Newbro's Herpicide the original remedy that kills the dandruff germ will cure any stage of this disease;
except chronic 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, .
