,1ow to overcome oily Hair.

A young woman who has tried all
sorts of remedies to keep the oil out OF
her hair says she gets best results by
using q shampoo made from pure olive
oil soap in which a pinch of soda has
been mixed. Cut cake of soap into
quart of boiling water to make thick
Jelly when cold. This is bottled and
kept for future use. Before shampoo
ing take a couple Of spoonfuls of this
jelly. mix it with pinch of soda and
rub it we'll into the scalp, which has
first been wet with hot water. Anoth-
er way to apply the shampoo mixture
to the scalp is to part the hair in
strands and rub it on with a tooth
brush or small naibrush. After the
scalp and long hair have been well
wished they should be rubbed vigor-
ously with the finger tips and thor
oughly rinsed.

The following communication is self

We desire to obtain the addresses of
all those who served on the frontier
against hostile Indians in the United
States and volunteer service from the
close of the Civil war until 1883, in
order that their names may be placed
on the books of the N. l. w. v. AS
sociation so that they may benefit by
the act pending before congress, as
soon as it becomes law. Will send
copy on application.
The National Indian War Veterans,
organized for the purpose of procuring

two of its order, the national COM
mander, Henry Hegwer, and the

Those brave and noble soldiers,
whv so valiantly defended and pro-
tected the western frontier in early
days, making it possible for this

Asparagus is a perennial herb cuiti-.

rugged plant and will thrive under
adverse conditions, but to obtain the
succulent stalks needed for culinary
purposes well drained. rich soil Is alb
solutely necessary The soil should be
we'll mixed with rotted manures con-
tanning much nitrogen and potash.
Prepare the bed by plowing or spad-
ing deeply. beginning the work early
and looking after the drainage prob
lem carefully. Plants at least one year
old should be obtained for this bed.
They can be raised from seed, which Is
sown outdoors in April in drills one
foot apart, the seed being covered
about one-half inch. Plants suitable
for transplanting the following spring
may be easily grown this way, or
roots may be obtained from one to
three years old.
Set the plants in the permanent bed
in burrows eighteen inches apart. the
plants being the same distance apart
in each furrow. Be careful to spread
the roots out naturally and set each
plant on a little mound of earth in the
furrow. Cover at first to a depth of a
few inches. gradually filing in as the
season advances. In the fall cut back
all the stocks to level with the
ground for the winter.
In the second year loosen the soil by
shallow spading When the first shoots
appear the rows may be hilled up
somewhat. Cut sparingly until the
third year. as the plants will be more
productive afterward.

The fashion in dining rooms at pres

The walls are either covered with tap

Wainscoting is very much the fashion
for those that can afford 1t.
II the chair covers and portieres are
of figured material they require a
plain paper. and vice versa. A plain
paper is much better than a figured
one for showing off paintings and en-

If the room is very high 1t is good
plan to do away with the frieze and to
bring the ceiling tint down on the side

the molding can be placed at the top
of the wall paper proper.

Moved to StanisIaus

VIM. j. McLane, who has been en-
ployed as ditch tender for the Stan
dard Electric Company for the past
thirteen years, IN charge of the upper
portion of the ditch, left Amador
county last week with his family, and
will settle in Stanislaus county. He
has recently bought 20 acres of al
falfa land few miles above Modesto
The land is in the irrigated district,
although unimproved. He intends to
huiId a home at once, and otherwise
improve the place with the object of
sowing it to alfalfa, sof which four or
five crops can be raised every year.
He will feed the alfalfa to dairy cows,
selling the cream to the creameries,
butter making being flourishing and
rapidly growing industry in that sec
tion. The land is close to the main
irrigating canal, and the irrigation
rights go with the land. This county
loses a valuable citizen by the removal
of Mr. McLane, and while his departure
is regretted, still he is to be cen
graduated on his forward & step
There is no doubt he will succeed in
his new enterprise. Mr. Murphy of
Volcano has succeeded him as ditch
tender.

paymasters
Graft to End

The 1911 legislature is to be asked
to put restrictions upon the road
overseers as to acting as paymasters
for the men IN their employment.
The county treasurers' association,
which convenes in Sacramento in a
two days session will take up this
subject and recommend that law be
passed compelling every claimant
against the county to swear to his
own claim.
The system now in use in many of
the counties permits the road overseers
to present list of names to the
county treasurer as the men under
their charges, swear to the correct
ness of the claim, and receive the
money due. Whether all this money
reaches the laborers or not cannot be
ascertained under the present system.

Friday Morning


Friday morning while engaged in
cleaning clothes in the small build
ing at the rear of his tailor shop, j.
f. Bertram had his hand severely
burned by an explosion of gasoline
which occurred when he opened the
washing machine In which garments
are cleaned In gasoline. The reason
for the explosion is unknown as the
building is removed about ten feet
from the shop and there was no fire
In the room at the time. The wonder
is that the whole building was not
blown to atoms as there were seyera
cans of gasoline standing in the room
Mr.. Bertram was obliged to have hii
hands bandaged.
Response to the alarm by members
of the fire department was very
prompt. 1t was not more than ter
minutes before stream from the
chemical engine and bucket brigad,
pouring water on the roof had the
fire under control.
The damage was not great the in
terror of the cleaning room beine
charred and smoked.

WAS 1T A PLOT TO KILL COVER
NOR BRADY?

The town of Meridian was greatly
agitated by the discovery Tuesday
afternoon of quantity of dynamite
under a corner of the Times building
where reception was held for Gov.
Brady, Friday evening 1t is known
that the explosive was under the
building Saturday morning.
1t may have been placed there by
boys, or by cracksmen who intended
to commit robbery, but there is a
strong feeling among the citizens of
Meridian that it was an attempt on
the life of the governor by some one
who lost his courage at the last NOM
ent or who was prevented by the re-
ception being held out side Of the
building ON account Of the extreme
heat.
Had the explosion occurred there
would have been horrible tragedy
as there was large crowd OF men,
women and children gathered to
greet the Governor and enough ex-
plosive was found to blow the building
to splinters.
II 1t was an attempt to kill the
Governor, 1t is amystery who was the
perpetrator. The belief Is that 1t
was some anarchist among the Poles
and Huns working ON the reclamation
projects.
The occurrence calls to mind the
assassination few years ago of Gov
ernor Steunenberg, tragedy which
formed one of the most noted GRIM
inal cases in the history of the Pac-
ific States.
Later reports state that the pow
der was placed under the Times
building by young man employed In
the reclamation service, who ackn0w-
ledged himself responsible in a sworn
statement.

SALE OF TOWN.
site LOTS
Opening at King Hill and Glenns
Ferry Monday and Tues
day a Success.

The sales of lots and acreage at
King Hill and Genns Ferry on Mon
day and Tuesday were we'll attended
and the results satisfactory to the
managers. There was much larger
crowd and sale at the latter place,
owing, probably, to the fact that lots
at Glenns Ferry were sold for $50,
while at King Hill they were 500.
Glenns Ferry is a division point ON
the 0. S. l.. and promises to become
one of the leading cities of Southern
Idaho. It is well laid out on the
Snake River and has many prepos-
sessing residences. In the business
section are two dry goods stores,
meat market, drug store, bank, hard
ware store, lumber yard, two restau-
rants, grocery stores, an amusement
hall and a large depot. A fine school
house has been built recently and the
lots in it's vicinity seemed to be most
desirable.
King Hill is we'll located, being on
one of the wide, sweeping curves of
the Snake, and promises to develop
Tito flourishing town. There are
a present only handful Of buildings
but they are pleasing in appearance
and source of pride to the loyal
residents of the young town. Besides
the two store buildings in one OF
which the post office is located
there is lumber yard "a restaurant
a boarding house, bank and hotel
Mr.. A. B. Montgomery is president Of
the bank and Mr.. C. E. Bolts cash
ier. The building is as well equip
ped as any in cities many times larg
er.
The hotel, managed by Mr.. j. R
Williams, is a new and thoroughly
modern structure. The rooms are
large and airy, steam heated, and e
quipped with hot and cold water ant
handsome new furniture.
With its progressive energetic cit
izens, King Hill is bound to rapidly
become one of the leading towns o.
Southern Idaho.
