SKATERS AN OLD ILLUSION
Scientist Skaters Notion that Hair
VIII Turn Gray in
Night.

A cherished popular belief is that OF
the sudden blanching of the hair from
fright, worry or other severe mental
strain. 1t plays its part In the drama and
in fiction, while history records its IA
nous instances. Who has not heard that
Marie Autoinette's hair turned white dur
ing the night before her execution, or
that the deeds and terrors of st. Bar
tholemew's night blanched the hair Of
Henry IVP Most of us have wondered
how the change could como about as
rapidly as tradition relates, and yet so
universal is the belief in this phenomenon
that few have the hardihood to doubt
1t. And now Stleda, a hard-headed Ger
man scientist, boldly says that 1t isn't
80 at all. This refractory German first
proves that such a thing couldn't pos,
sibly happen, and then, not satisfied, de-
elares that II never did happen. With
equal disregard OF folklore history and
medical literature. he points the finger
OF doubt and challenges many long de-
ceased historians and physicians to arise
and prove their stories.
He claims that when the hair turns
white under ordinary conditions It doei
so in one OF two ways. Either the pig
mented hairs Cal out and are replaced
by hairs, or, less commonly
pigment production stops I'm a growing

TillamoOk Spends
$300,00O For Roads
Isolated Oregon County Becomes
Prosperous Thru Building
Permanent Highways.
(From the Portland Journal.)

(F'rom the Portland Journal.)
The coming of the railroad will
not interfere with Tillam ook coun-
tvs liberality toward wagon roads.
In the past three years that isolat-
ed county has spent nearly $780,
900 on road work. This year the
County court has made levy which
will provide $125,O00 for road and
bridge purposes. 1t is difficult
matter to reach Tillamook over the
present roads across the mountains,
but once within the confines of that
prosperous county, the traveller will
find highways that would be credit
to much more pretentious communi-
ties.
Clatsop county, lying north of Til
lamook, is also making liberal provis-
ion for 1911 road work and has plans
for meeting Tillamook county with
first-class road over Mccartney
Mountain. When that road is in
shape for automobiles, people will
cross the continent to use 1t.

A FEW WORDS PERSONAL.

Just word personal. The pub
fishers of the News-Record and the
Chieftain have been making efforts
to collect money due on subscription
for several months past. This Is
not conducive to growth of circula-
tion as any publisher will testify.
In spite of that fact, and of the fur
ther fact that no special canvass has
been made during that time for sub
scrlbers, the lists of both papers
have steadily grown until today each
paper has larger number of paying
subscribers than ever before.
For this and many other evidences
of the good wishes OF our readers,
the publishers feel deeply grateful.
We will endeavor to reciprocate in
kindly giving better county pa
uers.

EAST AWAKE TO OREGON.

Portland, Jan. 17-Wide interest
and confidence in Oregon throughout
the East was noticed by Theodore
B. Wilcox, president Of the Oregon
Development league, who has just
returned from a business trip. He
found the railroads are advertising
Oregon extensively and expects this,
in connection with the other work
along similar lines. will bring a
flood of settlers. Mr.. Wilcox found
the belief general throughout the
East that the completion of the Pan
anna canal will be of great benefit
to the Pacific coast.
Mr.. wilcox showed the pride he
feels in his state when he said:
"On my trip passed through vir-
ginia. the Carolinas and Georgia. /

SATURDAY, JANUARY 81, 1911.
STATE AID FOR ROADS.

Five highway bills are before the
legislature, endorsed by the Good
Roads association, and by the Coun-
ty Judges and Commissioners asso-
ciadon. They are modelled on the
most effective and equitable meas
ures adopted by other states. They
are vital to the progress of the state
and we hope they viii be adopted.
The one appropriating state aid
to the counties In building roads Is
based upon $4,000 from the state
to every $4,000 raised by the coun-
ty during the years 19ll and 1912, or
total appropriation by the state
OF ssSO.OOO for the two years.
As we understand It. each coun.
ty that raised $40. 900 year for
road purposes for those two years,
would receive $4,000 a year from
the state--no more. no less.
Wallowa's share OF the state tax
required to raise the $sso.ooo. based
on present valuation. would be ss,454
and We would receive $4,000 in ro-
turn.
Multnomah's share of the state tax
would be s252. TAO and It would re-
ceiye but $4,000 in return.
II the foregoing Is correct It would
certainly seem good business for the
smaller counties. Portland favors It
on the rround that what helps the
state helps the states market place
