a song and dance act that la delight.
Their Italian characters were especially

Passage of an assessment ordinance

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.

attorney's orrice to suggest some plan
for relieving the burden of some of the
poorer property owners affected by the

V ' Early Jn December. ,..
. ' (flpwltl to Te Journal) V '". -
" Roscburg, Or., Nov. tt. G. W. "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.
I say education, for Indeed we are living
In an age of higher education along the
lines of .a more modern and scientific
method of road construction - well as
bridge building. . , ,4 ,
''.'V-- ' Seek' Proper legislation. "
"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." , ;

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. If your hair has become faded
or gray, try Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy, a preparation which a
chemist by the name of Wyeth devised
a few years ago. It is simple, inexpen
sive and practical, and will banish' the
gray hairs in a few days. It is also
guaranteed to remove dandruff and pro
mote the growth of the hair..
It Is a pleasant dressing for the hair,
and after using it a few days itching
and dryness of the scalp entirely disap
pear. ' Don't neglect your hair. , Start using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur today, and
you will be surprised at the quick re
sults. This preparation Is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and Is
recommended and sold by all druggists.
