Owners May Bear Expense.

Hard rains almost invariably wash some
dirt on sidewalks, and the District Com
missioners are preparing to ascertain
whether they can compel owners, in such
cases. to remove the filth. They have di-
rected Corporation Counsel E. III. Thomas
to test the act of April Ia, 1906. for the
abatement of nuisances. Under this law
they believe they have authority to COM
pei owners to remove the dirt or have the
District remove 1t and the cost assessed
against the property AUDITING.
r. II. Phillips, manager of the Sandy
Spring Railway Company, has written
the Commissioners suggesting that they
require that side slopes of earth abutting
or adjacent to sidewalks shall not exceed
a slope of one foot vertical to one and
one-half feet horizontal, and shall be so
graded that the foot of the slope will not
be less than two feet from the inner edge
of the sidewalk and two inches or more
below its level.

suggestions intended to prevent mud
from being washed on sidewalks and
other damage caused by hard rains are
pouring in upon the Commissioners from
residents in every section Of the city.
It is not likely that any of the recon-
mendations will be adopted, for the COM
missioners believe that their regulations
governing the matter are sufficient. The
engineer department, and particularly the
Office of the superintendent Of sewers Of
the District, is delighted over the way in
which the city's sewerage system cared
for Sundays rain, which amounted prac-
tically to a cloudburst. That more dam
age was not done. say the officials of
the engineer department. Is due to the
efficiency of this system, which proved
that 1t is capable of meeting any emer-
gency Of the kind.

Anew Applications Of a Simple
Remedy Will Bring Back

'Pull out one gray hair and a dozen

which is, to great extent, true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear it is sign that Ma

there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads Of hair without u
single streak Of gray.
When gray hairs come. or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be rcsortcd to at once. Special
lists say that one OF the best prepare"
tions to use is the old-fashioned "sage
tea which our grandparents used. The
hcgt preparation of this kind is Wyeth's
Sasc and Sulphur Hair Remedy, prep

scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants. the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wysth's Sage and Sulphur is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. 1t
refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandrutf and gradually restores faded
or gay hair to its natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeths Sage and Sulphur ut

corner of South Dakota westward to

covered the ground to depth Of
about eighteen inches and that the
mercury descended to 3 5below.
There was no grass on the range on
account of q drouuh which continued
the last two summers, neither was

James Hardin, who was In the city

for nineteen years and has never seen
conditions so adverse.
As an illustration of tie effect on

a distance Of twenty miles. The
ground was covered deep with snow
and the temperature was intensely

reached the 5000 sheep were reduced
in number to about 1000.
General conditions throughout the

WOULD BUY power
FROM The GOVERNMENT

WILLISTON, N. D., Jan. 29.-This
city has submitted to the reclamation
service of the department of the in
terror at Washington form of con-
tract under which it is proposed to
purchase power from the reclamation
service plant, three miles from Willis
ton. There Is something like 1900
horsepower standing idle nine months
in each year and I will be a great
saving to have the plant in constant
operation.
This work on the part of the city
officials marks new stage in the ne
gotiations that have been carried on
for several months, and which were
begun as a result of the investigation
and report of Engineer A. H. Storrs
of Denver, last fall. Mr.. Storrs 10 the
engineer who superintendent the con-
struction of the government plant
here and is thoroughly informed as to
the local situation. It is probable
that his report and suggestions will
have considerable weight with the
government officials in making their
answer to the offer of the city.
It is understood that the govern
ment plant can generate power and
sell it to the city at a lower cost than
the city can supply itself from its
smaller and less efficient plant. In
case the city contracts to take power
from the government, it will begin do
ing so the first of next July.
