The franchise provides that they may lay EITHER a SINGLE or a DOUBLE TRACK. Heretofore the representatives of the Street Railway have led us to believe that the Sandy line was to be double tracked as far out as Seventy-second street. Last night we were advised that this double track would only be laid to the spur that runs down to the Country Club. The lot-owners of this district who signed up for hard-surface streets out to Seventy-second street did so with the understanding that the car line, was to be double tracked to that point. Should this franchise go through for the Street Railway Company, it will be entirely up to their own will as to whether a single track or double track shall be placed on the Sandy road, and in view of the fact that in the past their attitude in this respect has been entirely antagonistic to the needs of this district, we suggest that strenuous effort be made at once to defeat this franchise before the committee, and to this end we ask all customers in that district to cut out the coupon below and bring it or mail it immediately to our office, givingus full authority to act for them in obtaining what is right for the residents of this district. In addition to this, do your best to see your Councilman, Mr. William Schmeer, with the Schmeer Furniture Co., First and Yamhill streets, city. Mr. Schmeer is not only a representative in the Council, but is a member pf the committee before whom this franchise will appear. The balance of the committee are Mr. George L.

Thousands of people suffer from bsldness and tailing hair who. having tried nearly every advertised hair tonic and hair-grower without results, have resigned themselves to baldness and Its attendant discomfort. Tet their case Is not hopeless: the follow ing simple home prescription has made hair grow after years of baldness, and Is also unequaled for restoring gray hair to Its original color, stopping hair from fall ing out. and destroying the dandruff germ. It will not make the hair greasy, and can be put up by any druggist: Bay Rum. a ounces: Lavona de Composee, 2 ounces; Menthol Crystals, one-half drachm. If you wish It pi-rfumed. add half to one teaspoon ful To-Kalon Perfuume. which vnltes per fectly with the other Ingredients. This preparation Is highly recommended by phy sicians and specialists, and Is absolutely harmless, as It contains none of the pol sonoub wood alcohol so frequently found la hair tonics. Do not apply to the face or where hair is not desired.
