NAWGABLE STREAMS
IN UMATIL[A COUNTY

What is a navigable stream. in the
meaning in which the rights of the
public and riparian owners are meant.
This is a question that is frequently
put up to Deputy Game Warden
George Tonkin, and to get an answer
to the question he has passed it on to
Carl ID. Shoemaker. state game war
den. with the result that letter has
been received, and he finds himself
pretty much at the starting point.
The information is sought 10y fish
ermen and farmers to settle trespass
disputes. OF course the bed of the
stream belongs to the state where the
stream is navigable. and any citizen
has right to go upon it. Where it
is not navigablc, the bed Of the stream
belongs to the riparian owners and
any one has no more right to trespass
ppon il than upon any other private
ly owned land.
In looking over Mr.. ShOemaker's
opinion probably the only streams in
Umatilla county that could he class
ed as navigable are the Umatilla and
Walla Wal!a rivers. There Is like
wse some room for debate on the
same grounds as to whether Birch
Mckay and AIeacham creeks are not
also naviRable. II seems the courts
have decided whore stream is large

along the Aisne-Vesle line where
there has been no great change in the

The Americans improved their

these German attacks were broken

A MANDATE IN IOWA

After much preliminary maneuver'

compliance with the lowe constitu'
tion which requires the passage OF a
proposed constitutional amendment
three times by the Legislature before
submission to the people. the elector'
ate OF Iowa apparently have decided
that prohibition shall not be part OF
their organic law. Iowa does no

statute that repealed the forme!

ward the submission OF constitution

its longevity Is In doubt. The people
have delivered a mandate. And man
dates are the causes OF convictions and

SAGE TEA DARkENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Grayl Here's an
Old-tirne Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

The use of:Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She used It to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull. faded or streaked appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is msssy and
Out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle OF ''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 up
on to restore natural color and beauty
10 the hair. = =
A well-known downtown dT-uggis,
says IL darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell il has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toflet requisite
for those who desire y more vouthful
appearance. 1t Is Intended for
Me cure, mitigation ,.ention OF
disease.
