Owed Hair Bad Insurance Risk.


Il would advise you, madam" said
the insurance agent, ito wait until
your hair goes back before taking your
examination. My company has an OBJ
lection to bleached and dyed hair. With
natural hair you will be able to make
better terms with us.
They VINO bleach or dye their hair,
my company considers, do not lead
regular and sober a life as the rest of
the world. They are apt to stay up
late, to eat indigestible and rich foods,
and to drink too much wine. All these
things are bad for the health. #
1.-THE bleached or dyed hair sort,
too are apt to be worried about money
are apt in their careless and gay way,
to let their affairs become involved.
Thence worry, financial worry, and it
is we'll known that this sort of worry
shortens life tremendously.
Further, madam, more Of this class
of people commit suicide than of the
normal classes.
wait till your hair comes back,
madam, before you let our medical
examiner take you in hand.

brought the increased price was ship
ped over the portage road, however,
for Mr.. Cook says that the O. r. & N.
company has met the cut brought
about by the operation of the states
railroad and farmers have profited
in that way
The o. r. & n. met the cut by alb
sorbing drayage at Arlington and by
other means and thereby secured much
Of the shipping. Only 1879 sacks of
wheat went over the portage road dur
ing November, but more could have
been secured by seeking contracts an6
more will be secured when the ship
pers become familiar with the rates
and when boats are running regularly
and frequently SO as to give prompt
service The outlook for business fol
the portage road is good.
The expense Of operating the road
during the month of November was
about $780, The receipts We're $431.59
The receipts will be greatly increased
with the larger amount of business
without a corresponding increase in
expense. The receipts by classes OF
business were as follows:
Grain, 1873 sacks 1906 S
Passengers, SO .......... ...... 900
Merchandise, $3.50 pounds. go. 40.51
Improvements have been made on the
road as experience shows the need and
the line will be in condition to handle
traffic expeditiously. Improvements will
be made on the incline at Big Eddy tc
facilitate the handling of freight ana

DISCONTINUE PRAYER MEETINGS.
Change Will be Made at Whitman Col
leqe.

The custom Of holding regular prop
err meetings on Sunday mornings by
the Y. M. c.. A. at Whitman college
will be discontinued next Sunday. The
association has been in the habit of
holding these sessions at 9:45 every
week during the college year since the
school was organized. The reason fol
disseminating the Sunday meeting now
is that it interferes with many of the
bows going to church in the morning.
To make up for the doing away with
this service that held on Wednesday
evening will be heightened to an hour
and will be extended in its scope.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. s.-Prof.
Willis L. Jepson of the University of
California, a collaboration with the Sc
cret service, is now in Europe, where,
in connection with university work, he
is devoting special attention to a study
of the tanbark industry in European
countries, for the purpose of obtaining
a broader view of the tanning indus
try of the Pacific coast, which the for
est service is Investigating A chief
point in his study abroad will be the
effort to determine the value and the
sources of the tanning materials
which Pacific coast tanners derive nv
importation from European sources.
Not only will statistics be gathered
but a comparison will be made of the
qualities of leather obtained from do
nestle and imported tanning extracts,
with a view of finding and recommend.
ing for use of the Pacific coast the best
methods of tanbark production, and es-
pecially of extension and maintenance
of present resources, in order that the
nome supply Of bark may be so con-
servatively used as to make importa-
ton unnecessary.
The tanbark oak of the Pacific coast,
which is pre- eminently the best Amer
lean source of tanning material, has
been so severely cut that despite it's
wide distribution and it's once plenti-
full supply there is increasing danger
of it's early exhaustion.

ADJUSTMENTS

The Redmond company scored an
Grand last night.
The play was that fine drama Risen
From the Dead" and the way it was
put more than delighted the large au-
dience present.
Undoubtedly the Redmond company
during it's stay in this city has made
big hit with the local public. The
company's last week in the city affords
plenty of evidence of this for as the
week draws to a close the attendance
at the Keylor Grand becomes larger.
It seems that all the company's admir-
ers in this city are determined to see
at least one of the companys plays
during it's last week in the city.
Tonight, the star theatrical night OF
the week, will undoubtedly see bum
per house at the Keylor Grand. the
attraction this evening is the "Ken-
lucky Whitecaps," a play that never
fails to arouse the keenest interest
among the most critical. And then to-
night the grand drawing ends comes
off and that is an affair each and every
patron of the Redmond company will
be on hand to be in on. Who ever wins
the prize tonight will find it a very
accountable one for it is a twenty dollar
gold piece-not a half-bad Christmas
present Will you be the lucky one?
The Redmonds will give their last
Saturday matinee tomorrow afternoon.
Popular prices will prevail; 10c and zoe
for the best seats in the house. At
the conclusion of the matinee per-
Torrance the ladies of the company
purpose to hold a farewell reception on
the stage to their many Walla Walla
friends. The reception promises to
be one of the most successful affairs of
its kind ever held in the city.
On Sunday evening the Redmond
company will close their engagement
in this city. A big feature of the COM
pany's last performance in Walla
Walla will be a benefit to the local
lodge of Eagles.
