COMMITTEE TO HAVE MEETING
Chairman of Executive Committee So
Orders.

Chairman ). B. Phsbury OF the coun-
to democratic executive committee
calls a meeting of that body at the
courthouse on Wednesday next, 90 b
inst at 10 o. clock, to consider the sd
Instability of calling primary election
for the nomination of candidate for
the Legislature. Under the circum-
8 ances i does not seem at all probable
that tha committee will order a pri-
mry. The regular election Is set for
O,:ob r 1Oih, scarcely three weeks from
the date upon which the committee
will meet, and two elections within
that very brief time would scarcely be-
possible. Besides, farmers aud mer-
chants are very busy now and have no
time to devote to an unnecessary cam
paign The regular election October
10th will be governed by the registra-
ton last year, which will insure full
vote. The executive committee will
doubtless deem this amply Sufficient fol-
all purposes.

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Biology has Proved that DandruR is

Science is DOING wonders these days IN
medicine as we'll as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
eessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. Tt is scientific prep
Eration that kills the germ that makes
tandruf or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get al the root of the hair, where
1t saps the vitality; causing itching scalp,
falling hair, and finally badness. With
but dandruff hair must grow luxuriantly.

CONGRESSIONAL IRRIGATION
COMMITTEE IN YAKIMA
Visitors Were Entertained by Citi-
zens' COmmittee-Gave Some
Valuable Advice.

The irrigation committee Of con-
gress and the party who are on a trip
OF investigation Of the irrigated sec
lions OF the United States, arrived
in this city Monday morning. They
breakfasted at the Hotel Yakima,
and were afterwards driven over as
much of the valley lying near the
city as their brief stay would permit.
At 10 O'Clock the party left for the
east. The special train was only
scheduled to run to Spokane, from
where the party will go by regular
train to Colorado.
/ The roster of the party includes
some of the men in congress best
posted on the subject Of irrigation
and the ones having most to do with
legislative matters concerning it.
Also in the party are the two men
in the country best informed on the
technical side of irrigation. The
party is made up as follows: Sem
ator Francis G. Newlands, Nevada;
Senator Fred 4. Dubois, Idaho; Rep
resentative Frank W. Mondell of Wy
oming, chairman OF the house COM
mittee on irrigation; Representative
William @. Reeder of Kansas and A.
M. Cooper Of Pennsylvania, members
Of the committee; Representative
Wesley L. Jones; Professor Elwood
Mead, chief Of irrigation investiga-
tions Of the department of agricul-
ture; Frederick H. Newell, chief en-
gineer of the reclamation service;
Judge J. I. Parker, chief Of the de-
cision of lands and railroads of the
department of the interior; C. G.
Rowley, secretary Of the committee.
and a prominent manufacturer of
Jackson, Mich; c. ]. Blanchard,
chief of the United States bureau of
statistics, who is in charge of the
party; G. H. Plummer of the
Northern Pacific Railway company;
Senator Levi Ankeny and Congress-
man Humphrey Of Seattle; w. C.
Lamb, secretary to Senator New
lands: H. J. Brown, representing the
Portland Oregonian, and wife; Paul
Hedrick of the Seattle Times; Arthur
Ruhl of Golfers Weekly.
After the drive to Knob Hill and
other points of interest the party re-
turned to the train. A crowd had
gathered, and requests were made
for speeches. Chief Engineer New
ell, in the brief talk that he gave,
urged again, as he Is said to have
done many times before. settlement
of the existing dispute over water
rights, saying that this must be done
before the government can proceed
with the storage of water for irriga-
ton. He said furthermore that the
Yakima valley offers the only field in
the state for government reclamation
work. He stated that all that stood
in the way of taking up the work at
present is the fact that the state
claims $4,000 acres in the lower val
ley under the Carey law and that IL
that claim were turned down by the
department the reclamation of thou
sands of acres would be undertaken
at once and If 1t were allowed moth
ing would be done by the reclamation
service.
Congressman Jones spoke briefly
and advised the people of Yakima to
work against the approval OF the
state selections. "Get after Land
Commissioner Ross and the gov
ernor," were his parting words.
