Stock raisers in the west have just
been forcibly reminded again that
Uncle Sam actually does control the
public domain. The public has been
led at times to think that the stock,
men themselves are the ones in charge,
but the courts have not supported this
theory. If you intend to use public
land for private purposes, it is just
as we'll to secure permission from head

Major General Leonard Wood has taken
up the question Of abollshinE the Meyer
CODE which has become next to useless
as a means OF communication IN the field
in these days Of wireless telegraphy and
telephony For fifteen years the army
signal officers have been seeking to have
the Meyer code abolished and the Morse
code, used for teegraphic work, sub
stituted. II this is done, Il will represent
the passing of an antiquated code which
long ago has become obsolete. General
Wood has taken up the subject with the
general staff and will probably bring II
before the Joint army and navy board for
final disposition incidentally. the aboli-
ton Of The Meyer code will permit a slight
reduction of The toi hamper on board war

GAS AND ELECTRIC
 COMMISSION AWARDS CONTRACT
General Electric Company Will Furnish New Turbine Generator and Con- densor-Cost $19,3o0.

The board of gas and electrical com missioners have received the bids from three electrical equipment plants for the furnishing of 700 k. " generator and condenser for the local electric light station. The most favorable bid was received from the General Electric company and the contract to furnish the machine and condenser and set it up was awarded that concern for $19,- 300. It will be three months before it will be ready, but 1t is aimed to have all the Improvements there completed by the first of June. The old machines will be. kept and part of those will be run when needed, but it is believed that the new machine, which can be speeded up to 1000 k. ". safely. will put the plant in a position where it will be in no danger should anything happen to the other machines.
 There are other Improvements to be made at the plant in order to modern ize it. work on the switchboard and other equipment, all of which will be secured for less than $s0,oeo, it is be- lieved. This will be $5.0o0 less than was voted by the council to allow the commission to take out of the depre- citation fund.
 It is claimed for the turbine gen. orator that it. will be a. big coal saver, so much so that it will save $2,000 a account on the improvements.
 For several weeks past the Uncas Power company has been furnishing practically all the electricity needed al the station, this being possible because of the rain, which has given the power company sufficient water to operate the power plant all the time.

To Keep the Hair
 Light and Fluffy
tFrom Chicago Inter ocean.)

The proper care of the hair does not require woman to SCOUT her scalp with soap and drench her hair with water until a. shampoo. including dry- ing the hair, takes the better part of the day. In fact, authorities say that the less soap and water used on the hair the better, as the alkali and moisture tend to make the hair coarse. dull and brittle
 If you want to keep the scalp clean and the hair light and fluffy. try dry shampooinga Put in g quart jar, or any other handy .eontainer, four ounces of powdered orris root and four ounces of therox. Stir and shake until thoroughly mixed. 4 beautiful cleansing powder with delicate per- fuIne will be the result.
 Sprinkle 8 tablespoonful of this mix ture on the head and then brush it well through the hair. This brings out the. natural color of the hair, makes it soft and glossy, and if continued reg ulariy. tends to make the hair long and abundant, for it is a natural hair grower
