A woman arrived Bt the iinlmi depot

to nickels and dirneF except for the few
dollars necessary to procure tickets on

' At the depot the women nnd children
were taken care of by the matron, Mrs.
Carrie. Fields, who upon learning the

a car to Uio Couch street dock, from
' which the Tillamook steamer departs.

They Grow Hair
Certain Ingredients, If Prop-
: erly Combined, Stimulate
Human Hair Growth.
Resorcin is one of the most effective
' germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta
j naphthol Is a most powerful, yet abso
- lutely safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents development of germ
matter, and ertates a clean, healthy
. condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is an Ingredient well es
i. tablished for Its power to restore nat
i, ural color to human hair.
, Rorax, because of Its well defined
softening and cleansing properties. Is
; most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a
,.' stimulant lo the hair bulbs, and hns a
s. soothing, healing and nourishing influ

n Icine because of it., antiseptic, stlmu

Kexall Hair Tonic Is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, which
are compounded in a particular form.
and we believe It Is the mpst effective
, J remedy known to medical science for
; ? scalp and hair troubles generally. We
personally guarantee It to eradicate
dandruff and scalp irritations and to
irrow hair, even though the scalp In

Gray of the Oregon Trunk railway to
day issued a bulletin addressed to homo
seekers and investors In central Oregon,
aa follows:
Why Waa Built.
'The Oregon Trunk railway waa con
structed Into central Oregon after thor
ough and careful investigation of Its
possibilities along lines of agricultural
and commercial development. The line
was built, therefore, because we have
faith that It will ultimately become a
great agricultural and dairy country.
"You, too, have made an Investment
In central Oregon In the ticket you have
purchased and in the expense of your
trip and you will not realize as you
should upon this Investment unless you
take the time while you are here to
Investigate the possibilities of the coun
try as a whole and not be displeased
by a showing which may be made by one
locality.
"Few people can realize the vest
extent of the central Oregon country.
Until this railroad was constructed the
state of Ohio could have been placed In
central Oregon and it borders would
not have been reached by a railroad.
We confidently believe that somewhere
in this expanse of country you can
find what you are looking for If you
will take the time to do It.
Chances for AIL
"If you have a knowledge of dry farm
ing there is a material opportunity in
thla direction, and practical farmers
have made a great success of It. If
your bent is toward irrigated lands there
are great many of them In Crook coun
ty, lying along and south of the Crooked
river. There Is a great diversity In
the altitude and In the climatic condi
tions. An experimental station will
soon be located In the dry farming dis
trict and another in the Irrigated dis
trict, both of which will In all prob
ability be contiguous to the railroad
and they will be directed by the Ore
gon Agricultural college, so that expert
advice will always be available.
"We hope, therefore, that having vis
ited this new country you will not fall
to take ample time to study the char
acteristics and adaptabilities of its
various sections; consult freely with the
officers of commercial clubs, who will
give you disinterested advice, and who
will refer you to reliable real estato
dealers.
"The possibilities of central Oregon
under proper development are almost
unlimited, and the varying conditions
of those different sections offer a wide
range for selection."
