cal Accident.

Mondays Baltimore American
publishes the following interview

ured. but we are still in the ring,
and the cyclone that hit US last
Tuesday does not discourage US a
little Bit said the Hon. Charles w,
Swtsher, foremsr seer etary OF state
Of West Virginia, at the Rennert last
evening. Mr.. swisher is one of the
chieftains of his party in West Vir-
yInia and. barring accidents, Will be
the next governor.
"Droroing all fgurative language,
and speaking with the utmost seri-
1usness,'' continued Mr.. swisher,
Il want you to distfctly assert in
The Baltimore American that the
'ecent election was one of those po-
lticaI accidents that occasionally
Happen to a party that has enjoyed
long tenure OF power. The Ameri-
an voters get a little cross at times
and perpetrate a suffrage surprise
lust to show their Independence.
After that they gladly return to the
party OF prosperity and constructive
,tatesmanshtp, the only party that
has demonstrated its ability to so
conduct the government as to ban
sh souphouses and keep the wolf
from the door OF the wags-earuers.
West Virginia is as staunchly
Republican today as ever. and after
the excitment Is over and the DEM
ocratic fuke Gains down, the old
time conditions Will obtain and the
old-tlme allegiance to party Will be
resumed. IN 1912 the electoral vote
Of our state will go to William H.
Taft and a solid delegation Of Re-
publican congressman will be sent
to Washington.
In the meantime the command
ing officer. not only in the party,
but in the nation, IS William How
ard Taft and the election was in no
sense a sIur of one of the hest and
wisest men who ever sat in the
White House. On the other hand,
hold that it distinctly fixes his
status as the real and only leader OF
the great Republican party The
demand comes from all quarters for
Taft to be leader, in fact as well as
in name, and in that way not only
Will the spurious and self-assumed
leadership of another be cast into
the scrap pile for all time, but with
TAFT as commander-in-chiet the
party which is best fitted TO guide
the destInies OF this nation Will be
again intrusted with the mandate to
govern.

Especial Dispotch 10 he Cdil1
OROVILLE, Aug. 21.-Here is a sea
sonable word or two about the new
country opened up by the Western Pa
which may help to explain not only the
choice of the route, but the great out
lay of money that made possible the
journey of today's first overland train.
1t has been a source of wonder what
supported the towns along the line In
Nevada. One sees but few industries in
the towns. but there is a prosperous
appearance about the entire state, ex-
| cept, of course, three desert waves,
which have been pronounced unreclaim-
able.
Five miles north of Winnemucca is
located Paradise valley. one of the most
productive agricultural sections of the
state, rich in livestock and grain.
Thirty miles north of Winnemucca is
Quinn valley, running north a distance
of 100 miles. In this section is the
that yield 100000 in high grade ores
a month. The soil of the valley is
rich and, as there is an abundance of
water, agriculture, while neglected as
present, promises to attract many col
onists to the valley.
Between Winnemucca and the Cali
fornia-Nevada state line, the Western
the stock raiser and wool grower 1t
saves drive of approximately so miles
| increasing the value of the stock by
decreasing the shrinkage en- route and
cost of transportation. In this section
is a large sulphur mine, not profitabIy
worked for many years. because of the
long haul to the railroad. It will be re-
opened within a few months.
Surprise valley lies north of Ger
Iach A wagon road haen b,;I{
through the valley to make Gerlach a
distributing point for the valleys large
output of wheat, livestock, wool and
alfalfa seed. A project for the irriga
tion of $4,000 acres in this valley is
under way. Beyond Gerlach the new
line enters several of the California
valleys In the Honey lake district is
more than 100000 acres of splendid ag-
ricultural land which can all be brought
under water. The evaporation from
Honey lake is approximately four feet
per annun. which If conserved will
flood one acre foot over the entire area
OF the valley.
In the Beckwith pass country there is
approximately 5000. 100000 feet of
white pine. Beckwith is the junction
of the Western Pacific and the Roca
and Loyalton road, the latter serving
lumber district that produces so.
900 feet of white and sugar pine an
nually. Beckwith and Loyalton are in
the Sierra valley. Beyond Beckwith
pass is Long valley, 35 miles in length
and from 10 to Is miles wide. which
is planted to alfalfa.
A smelter is under construction at
Indian valley, seven miles from Keddie
for the Inglis mining and smelling
company.
In many of the small valleys seen
from the train through the Feather
river canyon are small orchards which
will be able to get their fruits to mar
ket in record time. The country has
heretofore had to ship to Oroville and
then out of that point on a branch
line.

GROWS HAIR
ON BALDHEADSS
A Remedy That Costs Moth
ing if 1t Fails to Do as
Claimed

Resorcin is one of the latest and most
effective germ-killers discovered by
science. and in connection with Beta
Napthol. also a powerful antiseptic. a
combination is formed which destroys
the germs which rob the hair of it's
nutriment. and thus creates a clean
and healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the development of new
germs.
PiIocarpine is we'll known agent
for restoring the hair TO. its natural
color. where the loss of color has been
due to a disease. Yet it is not a color
ing matter or dye.
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
is chiefly composed OF Resorcin. Beta
Napthol and Pilocarpine. combined with
pure alcohol because OF it's cleansing
and antiseptic qualities. II makes the
scalp healthy. nourishes the hair. re-
vitalizes the roots. supplies hair
nourishment and stimulates a new
growth. "
We want YOU 10 try a few bottles
of RexalI "93'' Hair Tonic on our per-
sonal guarantee that the trial Will not

Tonic will grow hair on bald heads. ex-
cept of course where badness has been
of such long duration that the roots OF
the hair are entirely dead. the follicles
closed and grown over. and the scalp is
glazed.
Remember. we are basing our state
ments upon what has already been ac-
compIished By the use of RexalI "93''

or across the desert, is such as to sur
prise even veterans of American rail-
roading.
Besides all that depot construction
all the way from Oakland to Salt Lake
is without doubt superior in conception
and execution to anything ever at
tempted by new road in this coun-
try of American railroads. One of the
old time railroad makers who has
watched every rail length of the day
light trip from Salt Lake to Oroyflle
said today:
The roadbed and general construc
ton of the Western Pacific railway
has been a matter of surprise and most
favorable comment on the trip. In
fact this part of the work has been so
thoroughly done that very little differ
ence, If any. could be observed in the
operation of the new special train over
the brand new road and its operation
over an old and well established one ,,
This fine condition of things in the
course is attributed to c. NJ. Levey.
second vice president and general man
ager of the Western Pacific railway in
charge of operation. whose operating
ability and knowledge of the modern
methods that speak for safety and com
fort is we'll known. His services on
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
have put him in the foremost rank of
operating men.
Levey began work with the Chica go
Burlington and Quincy railway as a.
telegraph operator when only a boy of
8 and was continuously in the service
Of that company, filing various posi-
tions in the operating department, such
as assistant superintendent. superin-
tendent, general superintendent. until
January, 1902, when he was appointed
general manager of the Missouri and
Iowa lines of the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy railway. with headquarters
at st. Louis. Mo-. and filled this posi-
tion till February, 1904. when he re-
signed to go with the Northern Pacific
railway as assistant to the president.
with office at Tacoma, Wash.
In June, 1905. Levey's title was
changed to third vice president, and in
May. 1907, his headquarters were
transferred to st. Paul, Mimi, where
he remained as third vice president in
charge of operation, until his connec-
tion with the Western Pacific railway.
