The oregon Railroad & Navigation
Co.. Oregon Division.-Office of Su-
perintendent, June IA, 19O9-Agents.
Trainmen, Enginemen and All Con-
cerned: Following report of board
of inquiry on deraiment of No. "a at
mile post $50 between Unity and
Durkee June s, 1909:
A board of inquiry was convened
June 8, consisting of j. D. Matheson,
tralnmaster; c. Mccain, division
roadmaster; Maurice GirouX, mer-
chant, and John Harrison, liveryman,
to investigate and determine cause of
derailment of three cars in train No.
"a June s, 1909, at mile post $50.
The board finds that the derail-
ment was caused on account of the
load in C. & n. w. car 11662O being
considerable higher on one side than
the other, thus causing the heavy
side to settle on the inside of an s.
degree curve, reducing the carrying
weight on the wheels on the outside,
or elevated, rail to such an extent
that they readily mounted the rail
In the first place the load was not
properly distributed by the loader,
and in the second place should not
have been accepted as a safe car by
Inspector c. n. Miller at Portland,
for which he has been discharged.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
Continued Mild Weather Has Effect on
 Trade.

Columbus Ga, January 26.-(Specfa1.)- The Georgia and Alabama Industrial h. dex will say tomorrow in its regular weekly issue
 "The calendar says it is still January but the temperature and the active state of the real estate market in Georgia and Alabama during the past week would have indicated that it was spring. Down in south Georgia some of the more en- terprislng peach trees were out in their dainty new pink and white dresses. giving a hint of what natures 1909 spring fash ions would be, while roses were blooming in the open air in many sections of the two states, a most unusual spectacle for the midwinter season. The people who always buy real estate when the sap be- gins to rise seemed to think, with the flowers, that it was spring, and thus Jan uary is almost in the April class this year in the number of its land transactions. There were & good many farm sales, con spicuous among them being ,OJ0 trans action in Muscogee county, Georgia, and s40,oo0 sale in Harris county, in the same state. In various cities in Georgia and Alabama nice profits were reported on quick sales of lots bought only re- gently for investment.

HIS OWN HAIR TONIC AND SAVES
 MONEY

The average man when he pays 15c for one application of a hair tonic thinks he is paying a pretty good price, but nevertheless the barber isn't making as much money as his customer supposes. The ready-to -to-use quinine hair tonics of real merit are expensive preparations, costing $1.0o and $1.50 for small bottles. But there is one progressive barber who has found a way to satisfy his custom CTS and more than break even" on the use of a quinine hair tonic. He makes 1t himself, using only one ounce of Beta -Quinol and half pint of alcohol and half pint of water. This gives him a genuine and excellent qui- nine hair tonic for about one-third the usual cost His own preparation pleases his customers better than the hieher-priced tonics he formerly used. There is nothing better than Beta Qui- mol for the hair, for 1t keeps the scalp in a clean and healthy condition, re- moves dandruff and makes the hair soft and luxuriant. This home made Beta Quinol hair tonic has stopped falling hair on many of the barber's patrons He has given his recipe to several of them and his customers are now making the tonic themselves. The materials can be procured at any drug store. Simply shake them well togeth- CT and they are ready to use.

The White Cotton Crepe
 Blouse


 The fashionable fabric for shirtwaists this spring will be cotton crepe
 Domestic, imported or any kind-Just so 1t is some variety of crepe.
 While the Inexpensive domestic crepes will undoubtedly lead on account of the price, it is of course much less desirable than the imported quality.
 To the motorist is ascribed the genesis of the new crepe blouse as all the fash ionable shops both at home and abroad have exploited them for a year They were considered eminently practical as after a days ride in motor they could be washed and easily dried over night and needing no pressing, they could easily be worn the next day
 However, one fact in this supposition is fallacious; for they cannot be dried over night. The material is heavy and wherever tucks, plaits or gathers appear the material stays damp
 The crepe blouse does not need ironing or starching, that's true. and thereby saves untold laundry bills, which Is a decided advantage in their favor.
 The woman who Is athletic, the mo- torist the working woman, will each and all find great economy in the crepe blouse. And then there is another economical fea- ture connected with them: they require no trimming.
 Of course the French importations have Baby Irish entre deux and that sort of thing, but they are no longer the old fashioned shirtwaist then, but are ele- yated to the first-class waist-stepsister to the popular lingerie waist.
 The crepe blouse Is the denier cr1 or modisbes and it Is safe to say that this nonular waist will be worn far more than anything else the coming season.

No matter how plebian cabbage may be considered there are many palates, and well trained ones at that, that like dish of 1t. When it Is tender. well cooked and delicately served with boned rice it is not a vegetable to sheer at.
 An excellent way to prepare it for those who like it in fancy form is to cook 1t with chopped celery. The stalks and roots should be used that are not ten der enough for table use.
 These should be chopped up fine with half a head of cabbage, boiled half an hour, seasoned with butter, paprika and salt, then boiled nearly dry
 If should afterward be thickened with a tablespoon of cornstarch, dissolved in cold water. then cup of cream or rich milk.

A Household Economy

A housekeeper has many little economies which help the family finances. When using the gas stove she always places on it a piece of sheet iron, sufficiently large enough to cover the entire top. Then lighting one burner the iron soon be- comes redhot. There is quite sufficient heat in this way to keep several pans boiling and a great saving this is in the bill for fuel
