G. N. To Build
Snowsheds

The Great Northern railroad has
let two contracts for timber work
on snowsheds that are to be con-
structed during the coming sum-
mer across the summit of the Cas-
cades. These two contracts will
keep 1000 men employed until au-
tumn. All exposed places on both
slopes will be covered to prevent
repetition of last winters OBJ
struction of the tracks because of
slides. Most Of the sheds will
have concrete walls with timber
roofs. Most of the material has
already been purchased. The let
ting of these contracts, which will
cost the railroad approximately
$500, 900, settles for some time,
say officials, the main line of the
Great Northern in this state.

Hay
on Gas Well

The Spokesman last week sent a
couple of clippings from the Ken
newick and Prosser papers to Ex-
governor M. e. Hay of Spokane,
and received the following reply.
Mr.. Hay is one Of the largest real
estate operators in the state and
has large tract of land in the vic
Unity of the gas we'll. He is there
fore much interested in any devel-
opment work there.
To representative of the
Spokesman last winter, Mr.. Hay
expressed some doubt about the
financial ability of the Yakima
Natural Gas & Oil company to car
ry out its plans, but he apparently
has no such feeling for the new
company that has just entered the
field.

about. He is a university gradu-
ate, civil engineer by profession,
and has spent the larger part of
his life in the oil fields. What i'm
pressed me most was that he was
very conservative in his state
ments, stating he was nGt seeking
to buy large tracts of land as a
speculative proposition, but that a
section of land was all he asked a
lease On, for if oil and and gas
were found, that would be enough
for him and his.
Another thing, he was not seek
ing money and in a modest way
stated that his company had funds
enough to cut over any reasonable
proposition. He further advised
that from the topography of the
country the indications were favor
able for oil development. | feel

Alfalfa Mill
For PrOsser

For year or more there has
been talk Of building an alfalfa
mill in Prosser. Up to the pres

sufficiently interested to build.
This summer, however, Prosser
is assured that an alfalfa mill will
be built. E. w. Fry, who has

Cold Hooks
Peach Crop

The Kennewick correspondent to
the Spokesman Review says "there
are spots here and there where or
chards weathered without much
damage the zero weather that Wis
tied the valley last winter. AL
though the Elberta peach crop will
be almost a total loss, there is an
occasional nook around Richland
and on the Kennewick Highlands
where the peach trees will bear al
most a full crop. This is true of
the section of the Highlands near
the cemetery. Among the differ
ent varieties Of peaches, the Elber-
tas were hardest hit. There will
be fair supply of Deweys, Car
mans, Slappys and other early vari-
eties."

Gas And Oil Posi-

KennewiCk Excited

Kennewick is all stirred up over
the gas and oil possibilities. With
its terminal rates and its excellent
rail and water transportation facil-
tiles, and the fact that it is located
at a great distance from any large
city, has caused visions Of large
manufacturing center.
State Geologist Lands has just
completed an investigation in this
district and reports all indications
favorable for both oil and gas.
The present we'll is now produc-
ing 80, 900 feet of gas per day,
and the high-grade parafine that
has been located in the district is a
strong indication that both oil and
natural gas exist in this section.

Frost Misses
White Bluffs

Although heavy frost warnings
were sent out from the govern
ment weather bureau at Walla
Wala Tuesday and Wednesday, and
the temperature during the day
seemed to justify them, the u. S.
thermometer at the Rickard obser-
vatory at White Bluffs registered
only so Tuesday night and 36 on
Wednesday night-several degrees
above the danger point. Cherries,
peaches and apricots are just pass
ing through the critical stage and
temperature anywhere below 27
would play havoc with the early
fruit crop.

The preparedness program in con
g1ess has sidetracked the water
power legislation for the time be-
ing, and so far as surface indica-
tions go, everything is quiet; but
underneath, fierce war is said to
be waging among the various wat
err power interests.
The cause of the trouble is the
mixing of military preparedness
with water power development and
the nitrates factor. The same
plant that takes nitrogen from the
air for the manufacture of fertil-
izer can also be used to convert nj
trogen into high explosives.
Capitalizing public sentiment on
the preparedness question, the Ala
bama Power company, which con-
trolls much of the electric de-
velopment in the south, is sttempt-
ing to persuade the government to
improve certain portions of the
Tennessee river at an expense of
between SIS, 100000 and $4,000
900, after which it proposes to take
long time lease for the develop
ment of electrical power.
Then along comes the du Pont
Powder company and proposes that
the government enact water pow
er law on a 50-year permit basis,
the permitee being required first to
have his plans for plant approved
by the secretary of war; the plant
to furnish such nitrates as the gov
ernment needs demand at a price
the reasonableness of which is to
be determined by the secretary of
war; the rate and service for pow
err to be regulated by state COM
missions in states that have COM
missions, otherwise, by the United
States; the permit to run for SO
years, with privilege of renewal,
with a forfeiture penalty, enforce
able in 80 days; the United States

The du Pont people made it

Hearings befor@ the senate COM
mittee on the Smith bill, which is
the one backed by the Alabama
Power company, indicated that
suitable sites included four in the
northwest. They are Priest Rap
ids, Pend Oreille, The DalIes and
Deschutes. But it developed in
debate that these were only put in
for ballast to be thrown overheard
as soon as the bill would become a
law, the plan being to have the
government develop its plant at
either Mussel Shoals on the Tennes.
see river or on the Coosa river in
Alabama.
1t is not believed that any such
bill will get by, however, as the
power companies interested in the
western power sites are by far the
most powerful and they can be de-
pended upon to see that the wes-
tern states are not pushed off the
track through blind switch.
This congress is gong to bring
forth some kind of water power
bill; that much is almost certain
ty. The demand for it is too great
to go unheeded, and it is to be
hoped the law will be a balanced
one---one that does not lean too
much either to one side or the
other. Congress would be foolish
to pass any law that did not insure
the public proper regulation of
rates and service, and just as fool
ish to pass one 6 stringent that
capital could not be induced to de-
velop the power sites.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POIS0NS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In II,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
nddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, TO pre-
vent its sponge-like pores from clog.
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
If you get headaches, it's your liver.
II you catch cold easily. it's your liver.
IL you wake up with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver Is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ of
the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which Is
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
IL accumulates In the tissues. also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re-
strict the diet like calomel, because 1t
can not salivate, for 1t is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. It
Is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and
any pharmacist will sell you quarter
pound, which Is SUFFICIENT for DEM
onstration of how hot water and lime
stone phosphate cleans, stimulates and
freshens the liver, keeping you feeling

GOLD CORD A WAR PERIL
Heavy Losses Of officers In European
War Caused by Badges Of
Rank

Paris.-One of the earliest lessons
Of the war was that of the danger to
officers In allowing them to wear
badges of their rank, gold cord around
their coat sleeves, gold decorations
on their headgear, ETC.. which marked
them out to the enemy's picked shots
and resulted In unnecessary and
avoidable losses among them. This
lesson was learned, and now IL has be-
come so difficult at the front to iden-
tify an officer that failure to salute
is overlooked on this ground.
There seems, however, chance that
this danger Is being revived by the
regulations making the wearing Of
chevrons obligatory. These chevrons
are In the form of an inverted V and
are worn on the right arm between
the elbow and shoulder to denote that
the wearer has been wounded, and on
the left to show the length of time
he has been at the front, one showing
one year Of active service, two for Is
months. They are worn I'm all sorts
Of material and cOlors, officers wear
ing them In gold and silver. When
worn on leave or during convalescence
their visibility Is good point, but at
the front they draw upon their wear
ers the same danger that badges of
rank formerly did.

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADI
Don't stay Gray! Here's a,
Old-time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to it's natur
color dates back to grandmother's tim
She used it to keep her hair beautiful
dark, glossy and attractive. Whenev,
her hair took on that dull, faded o
streaked appearance, this simple mixtur
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy an,
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking q
any drug store for so cent bottle o
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
you will get this famous old preparation
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended upon t
restore natural color and beauty to tn
hair.
A well-known downtown druggist say
It darkens the hair so naturally an,
evenly that nobody can tell it has beer
applied. You simply dampen a spong
or soft brush with it and draw thi
through your hair, taking one strand a
a time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application o.
two, it becomes beautifully dark AM
glossy.

who desire a more youthful appearance
