1t was a battered party. Loud
praise was given the Bavaria's crew.
Gunter bitterly denounced the crew

the oklahoma wireless calls for

'The Calvo sighted us early Sun

1t was suicide for them to try to pull
alongside. The forward boats were
dashed to pieces. We had no food

Says Governor is Right in Providing
Order for CopperfieId.

That Oregon Is in need of law en-
forcement and that Governor West
has been right in seeking to provide
order and decency at Copperfield and
at other places in Baker county is the
view Of Dr. C. ]. Smith and the doctor
is not backward in expressing his con-
victions on this subject of very lively
interest.
DR. Smith has been here today on
professional ana business trip and in
view of the fact he is very strongly
mentioned as probable democratic
nominee for governor his views on the
subject of law enforcement have been
n subject of interest to his local
friends. Discussing the matter with
the East Oregonian DR.. Smith said:
Though have no information on
the Copperfield case except what I
have read in the newspapers yet on
general principles I stand for abso-
lutte law enforcement and believe 1t to
be the duty of the executive of the
state TO enforce such measures as are
found upon the statutes. If for any
reason this state has statutes which
are not agreeable to the majority OF
the people they should by the initiative
or through their representatives in the
legislature tend to have them re.
pealed.
"Insomuch as oregon has ceased to
be a frontier state and has for years
heen an educational factor in Ameri.

first states to provide method for

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you
will get large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about SO cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.

SALOON is TOLERATED

The saloon Is an outlaw and null
sance, and 1t lives by sufferance where
1t lives at all. You do not defend
the saloon as an institution; you toll
crate 1t, If you tolerate 1t at all, on
the theory that If you tried to abolish
is you might get something worse.
You cannot build a slaughter house
in your block without consulting the
people around you, because you can
not confine. the odors to your own
land, and yet you establish saloon
and fill the air with poison and then
say to the people who must breathe 1t
and suffer 1t that they have no right
to protest.-William Jennings Bryan
