Top, Sir Weetman PearSOnS: bottom, Samuel Untermyer.
 London, July 1S-Samuel Unter-
 myer, on behalf of a powerful group
 of international bankers, has closed
 a deal for the purchase of a large 1n- terest in securities of oil producing
 properties in Oklahoma. The trans action involves an exchange of S5,- securities. MT. Untermyer when he leaving for Brussels on his way to Carlsbad admitted the correctness of this information, but refused fuller particulars beyond saying that the concern was independent and the plans involved laying a big pipe line. He would admit no intention of fight ing the Standard Oil, saying that there was plenty of room for both. MT. Untermyer also said the deal was made on the joint account of London and New York interests. We have settled our plans," he declared, 'and shall go straight ahead with them. It is a gigantic scheme, involving tre- mendous interests" It is understood that the same group of men who made large fortunes in California fields are back of the present enter prise. Sir Weetman Pearsons is one of the chief members of the new combine. Sir Weetman recently made a trip to the United States and de- clared he was shadOwed all the time by detectives in the employ of the Standard Oil company. He expects to return to the United States within the next month.

Approximately 400 OF the 1900 union
carpenters in Washington went on

packed up their tools when the 7:3O

years ago. The men demand the half

SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
HAIR.

There is nothing new about the idea Of
using sage for restoring the color Of the
hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy by using a
"sage tea" Whenever their hair fell out
or took on a dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, they made a brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-time,
tiresome method Of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done by
Bkillful chemists better than W. could do
it ourselves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready made product. Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur, containing sage in the
proper strength, with the addition Of
Sulphur, another old-time scalp remedy.
This preparation is sold by all frst-class

ESTABLISH
new RATES
PROPOSE TO CUT OUT COLONIST
AND ALL SPECIAL RATES AND
FIX A MINIMUM RATE OF TWO
CENTS A MILE.
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]

Chicago, July 2.-It is reported
here on good authority that Western
railroads are considering a PROPOSE
tion of abolishing all special rates,
and making two cents the minimum
This would mean the abolishment
of colonist rates and reduced summer
rates. 1t is said that the executive
committee of the Western Passenger
Association has taken the matter up
at the instance of various Western
railway presidents. The proposal is
in line with general REIMBURSEMENT
policies recently adopted by the sew
eral Western lines following the pas
sage of the railroad regulation bill.
The movement, however, is the
revival of movement started over
year ago. Beyond agreeing that it
would be sound economically to do
away with all reduced rates for spe-
cial occasions, all summer tourist
rates, and all homeseekers' and col
onists rates, the executive commit
tee has done nothing, it is reported.
The committee plans to meet in the
near future and see how far the
Western roads can go in the way of
disseminating reduced rates.
The trouble in reaching an agree
ment is that a number of roads have
certain classes of business which they
are unwilling to give up. Some of
the transcontinental lines desire to
continue to attract people to the Pa
cific coast by reduced rates for con-
ventions, and roads leading to the
and Southwest are unwil-
ling to abandon the large colonist
business by which thousands of acres
of land are being settled every year.
