Miss Elma Clark. a student in the state

How often one hears the expression.
"Sbe is gray and beginning TO look Old
II is true that gray hair usually denotes
age and is always associated with age
You never hear one referred to as having
gray hair and looking young.
The hair is generally the index or age
If vour hair is gray, you cant blame
your friends for referring to you as look
ing old. You can't retain youthful ap-
pearance if you allow your hair to grow
gray. Many persons Of middle age JeQp-
orlize their future simply by allowing
the gray hair to become manifest. lf
your hair has become faded or gray, try

ABOUT FIVE MINUTES

After serving six and a half years
in the state peuitentiary here for rob
berry, J. F. Montague stepped cut
from the prison doors yesterday only
to fall into the arms of officials from
San Quentin, and 10 be taken to that
institution to serve out a sentence.
Montague was sent uP from Wasco
county. At the time he committed
the robbery there he was wanted at
San Quentin, from which ins titution
he had escaped. After his conviction
in Wasco county, and his sentence to
the penitentiary of this state, the
San Quentin officials kept a close tab
on him, and when his sentence ex-
pired yesterday were on hand to
take MIN into custody.

WILL PLACE
MILLIONS OF
YOUNG FISH

PendletOn, Or, July "a new
system for the fish hatcheries of the
state was announced yesterday morn
ing by Chairman C. X. CranstOn, of
the Oregon Fish and Game commits
sion, before he left for Portland to
Join State Game Warden Finley, Mas
ter Fish Warden Clanton and Super
intendent of Hatcheries Wisner on a
tour to inspect present hatcheries
and arrange for the installation of
others.
According to Mr. Cranston, it is
the purpose of the commission to lib
crate annually millions of trout and
salmon fry in the streams of the
state, where thousands are liberated
now. The commission also purposes
to make it possible for thousands of
these young fish to come to maturity
where very few do under the present
system.
One or more central hatcheries
will be established where the fish
eggs will be collected in great guam
titles These stations will be located
at points where it is possible to get
the largest number of adult fish for
hatchery purposes. Very probably
one for trout will be built on Spring
Creek, in klamath county.
The eggs will be eyed" at the sta
tions where they are taken, and then
will be shipped to the branch hatch
cries throughout the state for further
development. Each of these, will be
equipped with expensive nursery
ponds. Instead of liberating the fish
when not more than an inch in
length, allowing them to fall easy
prey to larger fish or victims of
varying degrees of temperature in
the water, they will be kept and
nursed until they are three or four
inches long, and well able to take
care of themselves.
Fifty million trout fry annually for
the streams of Oregon is the mark
which the commission hopes to at
tain by next year, and it is possible
that this number will be increased as
the years go by BY this system It
IS hoped to make Oregon the best
trout fishing state in the union.
