Hair
Falling?

You certainly cannot lose
your hair and keep il. too.
Which shall it be? Lose?
Then do nothing. Keep?
Then use Ayers Hair Vigor.
That is about all there is to
It. Ayers Hair Vigor is also
a splendid hair-dressing and
hair-tonic. 1t keeps the hair
soft and smooth and greatly
promotes its growth. 1t does
not color the hair. Consult
your doctor freely. Doctors
are studying these hair
questions much more than
in former days.

GOVERNOR
FAILED TO
Be THERE

The absence of Governor West
from the state house today will nee
essitate the canvass Of the abstract Of
the state vote without him, though
the law specifically provides that the
canvass shall be made by the secre-
tary of state in the presence Of the
governor and the state treasurer.
The law provides that the canvass
must be made within Is days after
the election and today is the last day.
Governor West yesterday was at
Hood River and today before return
ing, intended to visit his camp Of
honor men" who are at work on
the Shell Rock road just below Hood
River.
The secretary OF state and state
treasurer after directing Private Sec
retary Watson to get West back II
possible, decided that should he fail
TO arrive TO proceed with the can
vass without him. As he is not due
in Portland until about 4 o'clock, II
is not likely he will be able to get
here.
Whether the canvass would be le-
gal, not being done in his presence is
question.

dressed, bought his own ticket to
Walla Walla with a berth reservation,

he boarded the train.
