SChnaV bel, attorney for ome of the email property owners affected, said some. of the lots were asaassed more than they were worth,' He mentioned one Instance m wnicn he said the lot had-been as sessed for $?6Q when It was worth but 1600.. : ; v-i : .ft.;t. Councilman Clyde recently introduced an ordinance in the council providing that before a street paving Improvement could be projected-it must first be ns oertalned that the vassessment for the pavement should not - be -confiscatory, that is, in excess of the- appraised valu ation of ' the property affected. The council did not pass the-ordlnance. So If the complaints made yesterday should happen to be not exaggerated, they do not form any legal excuse for the' re monstrances being given consideration.

"Wona cott, county jud?e of Douglas county and president of the County Judges and Commissioners' association of Oregon, has- issued a letter to' the members of the organisation In which he urges the attendance of all good roads represen tatives and welcomes the public gener ally to meet and affiliate at the state copventlon which will convene in Port mnd, ' December J 2. 13 and H, 1811. His letter says In part.- v ..j , ' . "There , are many vital questions Which will be discussed at this meeting which are at fhls time of great interest to the people of the state at large, prom inent among which may be mentlooed the 'permanent improvement of' . our highways and the necessity of a more uniform' method of improvement throughout the utate. ; j. Permanent Work ITeeded. . "Another vital question whieh is dally forcing Itself upon the people of this state is a more permanent method of bridge construction. Our old wooden bridges, especially the longer spans, are rapidly being replaced .by steel and re inforced concrete structures, ' ,'V'".' "It is our purpose .at j this convention to have with us some', good speakers in support of a mors sctentifld and perma nent method of 'bridge construction as well as of road , building, ;th.us giving our commissioners and the,, convention a more thorough knowledge and educa tion along.these lines of improvement.

" "Another impdrtant matter . for dlr cusslon-wlll be road legislation. In this question alone, to my mind, is the key to the whole situation. Speaking for myself,. I would favor a law creating a state, road extending from the Oregon state ' line ; south through : Portland, thence south through '-the Willamette valley and on south to the California line. I would also, favor state road from some point on the Oregon, state line north and extending south through eastern Oregon to the California line. "With this bit of legislation - had. would necessitate the pasexge of a law creating a state highway commission to superintend the improvement of these state highways. The next In line would be the means of raising revenue, which is a very essential element n road con struction. ' We would then be In a posi tion to ask the governor that the state convicts improve our state highways un der the supervision of the state high way commission. This, with many other measures of road legislation, probably! win be discussed. , "Another matter of Interest for the convention, and one which I think would do a source oi interest, would be a re port from each county represented of the amount of money expended.. In the Improvement of Ihe. roads, bridges and culverts of their respective counties for the past three, five or more years; also the amount and' kind- of machinery em ployed, such as rollers, crushers, grad ers, plows, scrapers, etc., and any other information that would b Of Interest to the eotnmiBSlorers." , ; v,',;.l, ' in in. .in i ' i ii ii 'Pianos rented IS, $4 per month, free drayage.

How often one hears the expression, "She isgray and beginning to look old." It la true that gray hair usually denotes age and is always associated with age. You never hear one referred, to as hav ing gray hair and looking yoiing. The hair is generally the Index of age. If your hair Is gray, you can't blame your friends for referring to you as looklna old. Tou can't setaln a vouth- ful appearance If you allow your hair ten grow gray. Many persons or middle age jeopardize thcl future simply by al lowing the gray hair to become mani fest.
