MUCH SNOW COVERS
WEST PORN TRAIL

Three feet Of snow now covers the
trail that connects the lower Rogue
river district with West Fork, report
Messrs. Robert Sibbel and T. r.
Thomas, miners from Solitude bar.
These men arrived here Tuesday
from West Fork, coming for supplies
for the mine. They came with PACK
outfit to West Fork. expecting 20
take back shipment of steel pipe
from there. This pipe had come to
West Fork as the nearest railroad
point that could be reached over a
passable trail until the Rogue river
trail is completed. The shippers had
sent the pipe in twenty-four foot
lengths, however and before it can
be taken in over the trail it will be
necessary to cut in two, and tools
are being taken from here TO do the
surgery with. This pipe is for the
Kennedy-McCall placer property, up
on which development has been in
progress all the year, $4,000 having
been expended by the new owners
since they took possession last spring
Three giants are now in operation
upon the mine, and by a new pro-
cess Of handling the pay dirt, an in
vention OF Mr. Kennedy's, practically
all the values are saved, even the
-four gold being held The holdings
of the Kennedy-McCan Syndicate arc
thirty miles below Galice on the
Rogue.
Unless the heavy snowfall leaves
the Coast range divide on the West
Fork trail, it is likely that other
shipments of pipe will be sent to
Grants Pass, and taken down the
river by specially constructed boat
from here This district will be
served from Grants Pass as soon as
the trail now being built by the
county and the forestry service is
completed.

a political party must be fixed in

often notice that front hair is well
brushed and well combed, bright and
shiny. On the contrary, the hair at the
back looks coarse and dry and ill-cared
for. Many girls in brushing their hair
at night simply part the hair in the
middle of the head and brush down
either side of the face. making the
front of the hair quite smooth and
under part of the hair. which is most
conspicuous when the hair is done up.
To accomplish the best results in
brushing, part the hair in sections or
strands; have a perfectly clean brush;
oil il with a very little bit of salad
oil or brilliantine. or if you like you
can use vaseline instead The way to
oil the hair is first to rub a little of
the oil in the palm Of the hand; rub
this on the brush and then brush your
hair.
