tinental ' System's Invasion of
Harbor Brings to Light Other
Important Transactions.
SOUTH BEXD. Wash., Sept. . (Spe
claL) The reported sale of the mill'
site and waterfront of the South Bend
Mills Timber Company to the Mil
waukee road was the talk of both
South Bend and Raymond today when
The Morning Oregonian reached here.
The' parties In possession of facts
bearing upon this and other big trans
actions in this vicinity, who have
heretofore maintained a sphlnx-Jlke
alienee on the contemplated invasion
of this territory- by the Milwaukee
road, are now "limbering: up" quite
perceptibly and much supposedly "In
side information" is coming: out.
The South Bend Mill Company heads,
who have not discredited the story,
speak of It as a "premature publica
tion.'- although everybody else is re
Joicing over the news that the town
Is to play so important a part in the
Milwaukee's system.
It has developed that this game com
pany Is at present negotiating: with
the Brlx Logging Company, of Knap
pton. Wash., for the sale of about
3500 acres of Its timbered lands on
Sasel River. The South Bend Mills
Company owns 12.000 acres of heavily
timbered land In that vicinity which is
said to be valued at fl. 000.000.
The present deal contemplates turn
ing over a fraction of land for $423,000.
Th parties to this sale are absolutely
reticent, although It was admitted by
President Brlx. of Astoria, when In
this cltv a few days ago. that there
was an Important deal pending betwee
thin company and certain owners of
large tracts of timbered lands.
These transactions have Infused new
life into the community.

. "but we are going to make the boys
useful around the high school. They
will be given an opportunity to make
repairs and needed improvements to
the building.
"With such a course. Eugene will
have a complete vocational department

PLACE HUNTERS NUMEROUS
Candidates for Klamath Post-
mastership Bob Up.
KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Sept. 6.
(Special.) The crop of candidates for
the postmastership Inc.-eases day by
day. since the request for the resigna
tion of Postmaster Brandenburg.
William Whitlock and former Chief
Clerk McAlister are both working for
the position. It was thought that the
fact that McAlister had been dis
charged from the postal service would
eliminate him. but his friends say not.
William Wagner is confident that he
will receive the appointment and W. A.
Delxell. who Is in Oklahoma, has tele
graphed that he will return at once and
make a fight for the place.
The fact that Brandenburg's resig
nation was requested for September 10,
leads some to believe that his successor
has been chosen.

CO-OPERATION IS KEYNOTE
Clarke County School Superintendent
Says Parents Should Visit Schools
Often and Observe Chil
dren's Progress.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept 6. (Spe
cial.) Mrs. Elizabeth Sterling, the first
woman County Superintendent of
Schools here since Washington became
a state, has assumed the ' duties of
her office and succeeded Professor Jay
V. Fike. Mrs. Sterling taught in the
Vancouver schools 10 years before Bhe
entered the political field last, year
and secured a large majority over Mr.
Flke. The first woman Superintendent
of County Schools here was Dr. Ella
Whipple, now at Long Beach, Cal. She
was Superintendent here from 18S7 to
1889, and the women of the county
worked much harder to get her elected
than they did to place Mrs. Sterling in
office, so some of the old-timers say.
Mrs. sterling is a strong advocate
of co-operation between the teacher
and the parents to create an Interest
in the public schools. She believes
that If the parents take an Interest
In the schools and visit them often,
that they will Insist with more energy
that their children get their lessons
and obey the rules necessary for discipline.
About the first thing Mrs. Sterling
did when she entered office was to
compliment Mr. Fike on the excellent
manner In which he had organized the
office and systematized the business,
having introduced & complete index.
As her deputy. Mrs. Sterling has ap
pointed Mrs. Isabel Barrett, who is the
first woman Deputy County Superin
tendent. Mrs. Barrett had for several
years been a teacher in the Vancouver
schools.
SENATE AGREES ON RATE
(Continued From First Pare.)
ion designed as retaliation against
Canada for wood pulp restrictions. The
free leather paragrapn was amended
.to make sure the free Importation of
all leathers. Prolonged discussion de
veloped over the free Importation of
works of art more than SO years old.
The provision, however, was not
amended.
Senator Cummins attacked alleged
discrimination of railroad rates in fa
vor of importers. He declared it was
unfair to American manufacturers and
farmers to allow foreigners to have
lower freight rates within the borders
of the United States. He gave figures
to show that import rates on wheat
from Canada to American points like
Duluth were less than rates within the
United States for the same distance.
The Cummins railroad rate amend
ment was defeated, 33 to 24. Senator
Simmons, ' leading the Democratic
forces against the provision, said that
the Democratic programme for the
next session of Congress would em
brace adequate consideration of trust
and railroad questions and that the
Democrats did not want to load the
tariff bill down with important rail
road rate legislation, such as the Cum
mins provision proposed.
Senator Penrose again offered his
anti - dumping clause amendment,
which would prevent exporters In for
eign countries from selling surplus
goods In this country at a price lower
than the prevailing market price
abroad. A provision somewhat similar
to this was in the original House bill,
but had been stricken out by the Sen
ate committee. The amendment was
defeated, 64 to 15.
Amendments to the income tax sec
tion, as agreed on late last night at
the Democratic caucus, were adopted
practically without debate when of
fered by Senator Williams. The chief
amendment increases the income tax
rate from the limit of the original
House bill and makes the total Income
tax amount to V per cent on Incomes
from $3000 to $20,000, 2 per cent from
820,000 to $50,000; 3 per cent from $50,
000 to $75,000; 4 per cent from $75,000
to $100,000; 5 per cent from $100,000
to $250,000; 6 per cent from .$250,000
to $500,000 and 7 per cent above $500
000.
Brlatovr Continues Fight.
Senator Bristow gave notice he
would again offer his amendment for
a graded tax running up to more tha
10 per cent on Incomes above $100,000,
The amendment will be offered when
the bill comes before the Senate fo
final action.
Senator Cummins called up hi
amendment providing for a tax of 10
per cent on all sales on stock ex
changes or boards of trades wherein
the seller is not the owner of the slock
at the time of the transaction. He said
he believed it would restrict, if not
abolish, short sales or "speculative
gambling, one of the greatest evils
of our commercial system."
Senator Norris, of Nebraska, made a
vigorous appeal for the Cummin
amendment, krtit It was rejected, 35 to
16. Senator Sherman, of Illinois, was
the only Republican to vote against it.
HAZARD KIN PROFIT
Harvard Professor Says Regional
Reserve System, "With Some
Modifications," Will
Prove Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. The Senate
banking committee wandered from the
provisions of the Administration cur
rency reform bill today and delved
into theoretical discussions of plans for
currency revision which had found
favor with some of its members. Plans
to refrfnd the entire present issue of
Government notes with a general Fed
eral currency secured only by a 60 per
cent gold reserve, and proposals to
amend the present Aldrich-Vreeland
emergeny currency act formed the basis
for much of the questioning of James B.
Forgan and George M. Reynolds, of Chi
cago; Sol Wexler, of New Orleans, and
Professor Sprague, of Harvard Univer
sity. The hearings, probably, will be
extended through next week.
The Administration bill will be taken
Into the House Monday with a favora
ble report from the majority of the
House banking committee, and debate
will begin early in the week. Repre
sentative Lindbergh, of Minnesota,
"Progressive," 'today- filed a minority
report criticising many feature of the

Half Secured Notes Opposed.
The bankers before the Senate com
mittee took a positive stand today
against the feasibility of any Issue of
Government notes secured only by a
partial gold reserve, and put out as the
direct obligations of the Government.
They referred with emphasis to the
days of "fiat money" to show that the
VanCOUVer BaChelOr LeaVeS Governments credit might easily be

Publicity Relied On.
Publicity such as would center about
the operations of the federal reserve
board would prevent thr board from
"going very- far wrong," he said. "I
don't care what kind of a central bank
we might have, I do not believe its
powers could be much abused," Pro
fessor Sprague added.
His chief objection to a plan for the
direct issue of currency by the Govern
ment was that it would set up an insti
tution that would have a large power
toward the over extension of credits.

out regard to his injuries.

Nobody Can Tell When You
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
With Sage Tea.
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. By asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy," you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 50 cents. This
imple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandruff,
dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, Decause it aarKens so natur
ally and evenly that nobody can tell it
as been applied it s so easy to use,
too. You simply dampen a sponge or
soft brush and draw it through your
hair, taking one strand at a time. By
morning the gray hair disappears; after
another application or two, it is re
started to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.
