A log raft containing ten million feet of spars
and piling is to be towed across the Pacific to
Shanghai during the summer. This is the gigan
tic plan of new company just organized under
the laws of British Columbia, and which is to
be branch of raft company Of this city The
latter company has RATED logs from northern
points to San Francisco Except for an incident
to the first of the big RATS, which broke loose
all the huge RATS have been brought safely to
port. But they are, nevertheless, looked upon
with considerable fear by seafaring and ship
owners, who regard the bulky RATS positive
menaces, which should be prohibited from going
to sea. The new company, despite this opposi-
ton, will send to Shanghai larger raft of big
logs than has ever been put together. From the
present plans, it will be towed by one or more
OF the most powerful tugboats Of San Francisco,
accompanied by collier oil steamer with fuel
for the tugs.

It is a mistake to suppose that high finance is
confined to the United States. The scandal in
the British war Office goes to show that the craze
is as rife there as here. About 900 was
lost in few months during the South African
war by graft and peculation. And desperate eff
forts are being made to prevent the inquiry touch

the stories of graft in the Russian military SER

The city of Los Angeles not long ago went
through municipal reform crusade. Now 1T is
proposed to carry the movement further by es-
tablishng the Gothenburg system of controlling
the liquor traffic The idea is to give monopoly
of the business of selling liquor to a corporation
which shall be required to reduce the number OF
saloons in residence districts; to limit its profits
to per cent on the investment, and to restrict
sales in the manufacturing districts to beer and
light vines This, if carried out, will be the first
genuine experiment with the Gothenburg system
in this country. The South Carolina law is based
on the Gothenburg plan, but it has been SO COM
pcated with politics that it affords real test.
II Los Angeles carries out it's program, the result
will be worth watching.

No Matter What Color.
The finest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smile of female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair Scant and falling hair. it is
now known, is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair where it saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
dandruff permanently then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbros Herpicide an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory destroys
the dandruff germ and, of course stops
the falling hair, and prevents badness.
