Hair VigOr

restores. with the gloss and freshness Of
YOUTH faded or gray hair to a natural, rich
brown color, or deep Black as may be desired.
BY its use light or red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling of the hair, and stimu-
lates a weak and sekly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandrutf, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. As Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
VIG0R is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken IN appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
MIR c. P. BRIcnER writes from Kirby, o..
JuiB 8 1ss2 Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in n short time became
nearly bald. | used part of q bottle of
AYER's HAIR NIGoR, which stopped the fall
ing OF the hair, and started new growth. |
have now a full head of hair growing vigor-
ously, and am convinced that but for the
use Of your preparation ! should have been
entirely bald"
j. W. BJNrS, proprietor of the Mc.frthW
COMO Eaqatref, says . AYERS HAIR IGOR
is most excellent preparation for the hair.
! speak OF 1t from my own experiences. Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes IL glossy and soft. The YIGoR is also
sure cure for daudruf. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction"
Mr.. ASGls FAIRBATRN, leader of the
celebrated '' Fairbairn Family" of Scottish
Nocalists, writes from Boston, Mass, Feb. 9,
1850 " Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which heeting
time pToeureth, have used AYER's HAIR
VlGoR, AMI so have been able to maintain
an appearance of yoathfuiness "a matter of
considerable consequence TO ministers, ora
tors actors. and ia iact every one who lives
in the eyes OF the pubic"
Mas, O, A, PREscoTT, writing from Is Elm
81, Char3cstosra, Mass, .tlrI H. isS2, says
:" Two years ago about tWo-thir,is of my hair
came Off. 1t tl4iIued very rapidly. and WAS
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAZE
VTGoR the falling stopped and new growth
commenced. aud in about month my head
was completely covered with short hair. IL
has continued to grow, and i now rs good as
before it fell, | regularly used but one bottle
Of the EIGoE, but now use it occasionally as
dressing"
We have hundreds Of similar testimonials
to the efficacy Of AYERS HAIR YiGoR. 1t
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti-
cal Of its value.

Crossing the Bar,

Will Nalla iHiOH.
The announcement that the sur
veys have been completed, the plans,
maps and estimates for the section Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad be
tween Portland and kalama finished
and bids for its construction invited,
naturally raises important questions.
Among them are what will be the ef-
feet of the construction of the road
on shipping? Every ship master who
has crossed the Columbia bar, every
ship owner who has suffered the de
lays incident to crossing that great
obstacle to the navigation Of the
mighty river Of the Northwest, knows
that he runs Il greater risk of losing
life and fortune in crossing that bar
than he does in crossing any other
bar in the world. He also knows
that there are no dangerous bars to
cross i'll reaching any Of the ports on
Puget Sound. Ship owners and
masters know, too, that only vessels
of small size can cross the Columbia
bar ut any stage of water. The
Asst ridn of JANUARY 5th, in record
ing the fact that the German ship
Flitz lay at Astoria from the 8th t.
tho 31st of December, said: "She
draws, wien fully loaded, twenty six
feet. She could not go out in safety
drawing more than twenty-five. She
sailed for Queenstown with cargo
800 tons less than her carrying capa-
city. Tugs will not remedy the diff
ticulty. The most powerful boats,
the most skillful pilots are unavail-
ing to take vessel out unless the
bar be smooth, state Of affairs that
seldom occurs during the very season
of the year that the wheat feet de
sires to cross the sea-"
The same paper recorded the fact
that ten vessels went to sea on the
Both and 31st Of December, all of
which left Portland before December
9Th, one having left that seaport on
an inland river on the second day Of
November. So well known and
dreaded is the Columbia bar that the
Northern Pacific was able to contract
with ship owners to carry iron and
material to New Tacoma for $3.50 per
ton less than the charges to Portland.
This rate the ship owners accepted
when they knew that there was no
certainty Of obtaining a return cargo
at New Tacoma, and there was at
Portland. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose, in view Of these facts, that on
the completion of the Portland Kala-
ma link, shippers Of grain will be of
fered such rates at New Tacoma by
ship owners that they can pay the
extra railroad charge to that point,
and make money by loading there .
While the wealth and commercial
Importance of Portland will always
be large enough to draw few ships
of medium size across the Columbia
bar and over the various distractions
in the rivers to her wharves, it will
never be great enough to draw the
bulk of the grain carrying vessels
yhere. From the day that witnesses,
the driving of the last spike on the
Portland-K -Kalama link the glory and
imuortance of Portland As shipping
point will begin to depart.
