general, in an opinion to the state
bureau of inspection, in which he
rules that when a road foreman
employs his men for ten hours a
day, and then makes out the pay
roll for day and a quarter, that

state law, says that if this is done,
except IN cases of emergency, it is
against public opinion and the con-
tract is void.

Two submarine destrcvers will
be built for Uncle Sam on Puget
Sound. When the government let
the contract for four of these craft
it was stipulated that two of them
should be constructed on the Paci-
fic coast. All of the leading ship
yards north of San Francisco
wanted the work. The Moran Co.,
of Seattle, which built the battle
ship Nebraska several years ago
was the lucky bidder. The two
boats will cost 100000. They
will be finished in a year. All per-
sous working on them are first
sworn that they will reveal none Of
the details. The entire construc-
ton is surrounded with the utmost
secrecy.

Parkison are so permeated with
fraud, forgery and conspiracy that a
court Of equity, and good conscience,
will not hesitate to decree all as in
valid and of no effect
The defendants counsel admits
that the petition filed by Mr.. Park
son with the secretry Of state con-
tains nearly 1000 fraudulent names,
and that others may be tainted, but
that he is convinced that there are
more bona ide names Cviz. 61S5) on

of $6,135, and should tender TO the
secretary of state s13,615 with the
admission that $4,000 Of the sum SO
rendered were counterfeit, and 9TH
ers bore evidence of suspicious char
acter, the court surmlses that the
learned attorney would not advise the
secretary of state to accept the tender
and liquidate the obligation, but ra-
ther that he would have the circula-
tor of counterfeit money arrested and
prosecuted as the law directs The
court is of the opinion that he who
knowingly files a fraudulent petition
is no less morally culpable than he
who traffics in counterfeit money.
Hercules, upon beholding the ac-
cumulated filth of years, took drastic
measures to cleanse the Augean sta
bles. And the court is of the opinion
that the defendant, upon learning of
the mutilated and disarranged condi-
tion of the petitions, with the posi-
i've evidence of irregularity as to form
of same, might well have refused to
file them, thereby throwing the bur-
den of proof of the legality of the pc
titions upon the parties at fault, by
mandamus proceedings as provided
in the statute.
1t is the opinion of this court that
judged by legal consideration alone,
the petition is void, and ought not to
stand because of the evident lack of
a sufficient number of genuine names
of legal voters of the state to refer
the measure, and, judged by the con
S cience of a court Of equity, those
seeking to maintain it are not in

not to be granted the unusual re-

After taking up his duties as first

then into his confidence as to his

that he has been hailed by all parties
with reclamation.

10 mistake when he calculated that a

Restore Gray Hair
To Natural Color

The old idea of using sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age of
seventy-five, while our mothers have
white hail. before they are fifty. Our
grandmothers used, to make sage
tea and apply it to their hair. The
tea made their hair soft and glossy.
and gradually restored the natural
color
One objection to using such prep
aration was the trouble of making it.
especially as it had to be made every
two or three days, on account of sour
ing quickly. This objection has been
overcome and by asking almost any
first class druggist for WYeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy the public
can get a superior preparation Of
sage, with the admixture of sulphur.
another valuable remedy for hair and
scalp troubles. Daily use of this
preparation will not only quickly re-
store the color of the hair. but will
also stop the hair from falling out and
make it grow.
Get a bottle from your druggist to-
day. Use it and see for yourself how
quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs
vanish.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents q bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.

in 1897, and was attached to one end
of that structure. The board is in fair

standing its age the lettering on the
board stands out remarkably plain.
The bridge was incorporated in 1895,
ana was built two years later. In 1918
it was rebuilt, and was burned in 1927,
to be rebuilt later in the same year.
1t ceased to be toll bridge in 1867.

The BRITISH NAVY.
Churchili's First Move to institute In
vestigation.

London, Nov. Lord Charles Beres-
ford gave the government an oppor-
tunity. this week, to make an official
denial of the rumors which have been
rreyalent for some time past as to
the state of appropriateness III which
the navy WAS found to be at the crit
zeal moment in the Agadir imbroglio.
1t was said that vessels of the fleet
which are in commission in home wa
ters, were short both of coal and am
munition, and that. had war started,
they would nave been at the mercy
even of a greatly inferior German
squadron.
These rumers were revived last
week, in connection with Mr. Mcken-
mas retirement from the admiralty.
one of Winston Churchill's first call
ers after he took up quarters at the
admiralty was Lord Charles Beres-
ford, and ii was the new first lord who
induced Lord Charles to put the ques-
ton in the House of Commons design
ell to clear Mr.. McKenna's record.
Lord Charles's question referred to
the sending of coal by rail across Eng
land for the use of warships. The re-
ply made was that this transportation
was simply a part of the routine or
admiralty procedure. designed for the
purpose of testing, from time TO time,
the railway facilities for the transit
OF coal, ami had no reference what
ever 10 any crisis real or imaginary
