PORTLAND STIRS UP
HER CONCRESSMEN
Chamber of Commerce Wins Congress.
sional Delegation to Get Busy on
River and Harbor Bill.

Portland, Ore, July 31.-Resolution
unanimously adopted Thursday night at
a mass meeting called by the Portland
Chamber of Commerce and attended by
representatives of many northwestern
communities, urging upon them the
necessity for securing the passage of
the pending rivers and harbors bill
were telegraphed today to Pacific
coast senators and representatives in
congress, the president of the senate
and speaker of the house.
The resolutions set forth that the
failure of the bill to pass will be public
calamity and retard the development
of the entire Pacific coast and the
Columbia river basin section, because
of lack of funds with which to carry
on the various government projects.
The chamber of commerce was also
instructed to call on leading commercial
chambers on the United States especial
ly in communities mentioned in the
general bill, requesting their cooper.
alton in securing the passage of the
bill.

DECLINE OF THE PROGRESSIVE
PARTY.
Philadelphia Inquirer.)

Analysis of the official figures of
recent elections in the various states
shows that the trend back to the re-.
publican party is unmistakable and
that it extends all the way from Maine
to California. This agrees with the ex-
perienee and the investigations of most
political observers. Figures are i'm.
pressive and convincing, but they are
not the only things to be considered
in forecasting results. There is some
thing in the air that foretells the doom
of the democratic party. 1t might be
described as general dissatisfaction
with the administration and congress.
1t is not confined to the members of
any party, but is found in republicans,
democrats and progressives alike. For
some curious reason, which may be psy-
Geological so far as we know, nearly
everything that is done by Wilson and
his associates appears to have an irri-
tating effect upon the people.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
there are certain definite things for
which the administration will be held
responsible, such as the Underwood bill.
the tolls repeal act and the spineless
and senseless foreign policy. These are
bad enough, in all conscience, but uIf-
satisfactory as they are they do not
constitute the entire bill Of indict-
ment. There seems to be a general
feeling of annoyance over either the
insincerity or the ineOmpeteney of the

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Well-Known Local Druggist Says Ev.
erybody is Using old-Time Recipe
of Sage Tea and, Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns dull and life
less, is caused by lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which is so attrac.
tive, use only this Old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
turs by asking at any drug store for
50.Cent bottle of "Wyeth IS Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. By morning the gray hair dis.
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth g Sage and Sulphur is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair,
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.-Loeal
agent, j. @. Perry.

about 40 degrees further than Jeffries

be arranged. OF course Freddie will
jump at the chance to meet Attell. if
