MINE MAKING MONEY

Grant A. Stewart, superintendent
of the Laurier copper mine, up on the
Canadian boundary line, came down
to vote at the school election Satur-
day and visit with the home folks for
a few days. Mr.. Stewart was all
smiles over the prospects of the pro-
perty in which he and his brother are
largely interested. He reports that
they are now shipping two carloads of
ore per week to the smelter, and this
has been paying between $15 and 500
ton, net, which is an unusually good
showing for copper ore. Mr.. Stewart
returned to Laurier Wednesday.

PROPOSE TO PAVE
TWENTY BLOCKS
OF CITY'S SSTREETS

the Principal Thorofares
This Summer
n1RBING ON WASHINGTON ST.

Set for Saturday Evening,

...rt committee of the city council
a not meet with general objection on
the part of the property owners, the
.,vo;n0 summer will see the largest
single piece of city Improvement at
tempted since the sewers were laid.
II another column, couched in the city
.ttorney's best legal phraseology, will
:. found a declaration of what the
council intends to do.
Briefly this is it: They plan to
srsde, level and pave Washington
street from Annis' corner to Eichner's,
Front street from Washington to Pa
r;;c Second street from Pacific to the
bridge. and Yakima, Tacoma and Pa
e;6c streets from Front to the alley
between Second and Third. They also
intend to curb Washington street
from the railroad to its north end and
from Third street to its south end.
For the past few weeks the public
Improvement committee have been
making pretty thoro canvass of the
property owners who will be affected
By the Improvement and they believe
there will be little objection to the
Hoposition. The proposed paving will
Be Of the semi-permanent character
put on Second street last summer,
which consists of base of gravel or
crushed rock, surfaced with asphaltum
oil and sand. 1t is understood, how
ever that the new paving will be an
improvement on the old. The pres
ent improvement Of Second street
cost SS cents per square yard, while
the estimate for the proposed work is
10 cents. The parking and curbing
Of Washington street will cost about
IS cents per front foot, it is thought.
The work will be paid for by the
sale Of Improvement district bonds
and the cost assessed direct to the
property benefited. A hearing on the
proposed Improvement will be held by
the council on Saturday evening,
March 25th, at which time any pro-
perty owner who disapproves of the
plan is invited to appear and present
his objection in writing.

Boys Win; Girls Lose
In the return game with Richlant
at Richland last Saturday evening the
boast of the Richlanders that their
team would surely defeat Kennewicl

until the last few minutes Of play
when our boys showed them the rea

yesterday when, at Grand Forks, N,
D., he told an audience made up
largely Of farmers
II believe in trusting those who
really accept the doctrines Of prOtec'

believe in protection for the farmers
just as believe in protection for the
men in the factories.

nee was warning prOtcCtionists
against the folly of putting conf
dence in Democratic professions OF
conversion to the protective princi-
pies, says the Pittsburg Gazette
Times Mr. Wilson and his party
have held out the light too recently,
And all their statements and acts
compel the belief they are waving Il
false beacon to lure protcCtionists
into their camp for plucRing.
You would not cntrust your purse

that he had been converted and
would lead an honest life. Then

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in'goo!d
condition be careful what you wash II
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoo'
contain too much aIkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsificd coeoa0ut
oil (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most e&'
pcnsivc soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injurc the hair.
Simply moistcn your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspooniu'
will make an abundance Of rich, creamy
lathcr, and cleanscs the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinscs out easily
and removes every particle Of dust, art
dandruf and excessive oil. The haf
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright fluffy and easy to
manage. =,
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at
most any drug store 1t is very cheap
and a few ounces is enough to last
everyone in the family for months.

TRlNsPACIFIC FREIGHT BUREAU
Thirteen steamship Companies Enter
Into Combination.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
TOXIC. oct 20.-Announcement is
made here that l3 steamship COM
panies which maintain lines on the
Pacific ocean are about to organize a
ns-Pacific freight bureau for the
purpose of putting in force regular
freight tariff A trans-Pacfic freight
conference existed before the war. but
it went out of existence at the out
break of hostilites, due largely to the
steamers and the discontinuance of
the Pacific Mail company.
The basis of the pending agreement
Is n desire to establish a fixed rate of
transportation and to remove unneces-
sary rivalry between steamship COM
panies. II Is declared that the new
scale will be more important to buyers
IN the United States than to sellers in
the far east, as the only effect on the
latter, in case rates are raised, would
be an increase in the prices of their
goods. According to the press, the
new charges will not apply to cargo
exports from Japan, Korea, Manchuria
and Formosa, and in order to check
up merchants in China and other parts
Of the orient who are reshipping goods
to the United States and Canada from
the ports not affected, an investlga-
ton is now being made by a commit
tee of those who will sign the new
tariff. The companies interested in
the new agreement are said to include
the Canadian Pacific. Pacific Mail,
China Mail, Toyo Kisen, Kaisha. Osaka
Shosen Kaisha. Nippon Yusen Kaisha
and other British companies.
