VARIETY IN HATS
Wide Range of Fabrics Seen in
Fall and Winter Millinery.
Military Influence Still Much In Evi
dence, Both In Colorlnfli and In,
Shapes Featured.
Considerable height and grout fabric
variety ore Hie two strong points of
millinery designed for late fall and
winter wear. Mnny draped crowns are
shown, ond the military Influence Is
still very much In evidence. Not only
are military colorings, such as scarlet
or French blue with gold hraid, shown,
but tnilltnry shapes also arc featured.
For sports wear a rough-rider hat Is
shown, strongly suggestive of the real
sombrero. A little motor hat recently
noted was of scarlet velvet made with
snugly fitted crown and elongated
vlsored brim, the trimming consisting
solely of bunds of gold braid.
The two hats shown In the sketch
may be regarded as smart models for
wear with a suit or tailored street

BLACK PUT FIRST BY PARIS
Placed Above Ail Other Colors In
France but New York PuU '
Browne at Head of List.
Imported or domestic, the new
clothes are lovely. Exaggeration has
not yet begun to do Its worst, and
modes urn, on the whole, nf consider
able distinction us well as of charm,
declares a fashion letter In the New
Vork Sun.
I'nrix has perhaps put less emphnsls
ipn brown, more on the blues and grays
and' greens, thnn has New Yotk, yet
brown is an insistent note among the
importations, and the woman who
bought a brown suit it month ago need
not regret her choice for any reason
sitve that the shops are perhaps a bit
flooded with brown.
The blues of gray and green tones,
the dark blues, taupe und all the soft
grays, greens in bluish and grayish
shadings, as well as in the harder,
stronger Ivy and billiard cloth; beet
root und oilier iloep reds, uinboguny
and copper, some good purples, the
long Hue of browns from beige and
castor to seal and, above all, bluck
these are the colors Purls loves and
New York, us we him' said In-fore, is
Inclined to put the browns at the head
of the list.
Never, surely, w ere so many models
sent across seas in black. There's n
grhnness back of that statement, back
of the fact Itself. When one stops to
realize why Paris thinks so largely in
terms of black and gray, the fashion
eleini-nt In these colors seems vastly
unimportant.
Parisian black Is a fact beyond dis
pute. Often It is lightened by other
color, though tliis color is quite likely
to be nothing more lively than gray or
beige or some soft blue; but bluck vel
vet, bluck satin, black cloth relieved
but lightly, if nt all. Ilgured prominent
ly in every group of Imported models.

As Used in the New Clothes, It Is Not

The barrel silhouette dropped out of

created in regard to the bustle type of

Have had two men repairing tele
phone line to Beaver Creek intake and
while there they will protect pipe
line where it crosses canyon, and also
reconstruct corduroy ' bridge across
Main Jordan. Find that levee across
river has been opened and am making
effort to discover parties who did
same, and arrange to have proper re
pairs made. Have taken fence down
which obstructed street near stock
yards and have instructed city attor
ney to take proper steps to keep said
obstruction out of street. Street De
partment has been hauling leaves and
litter out of gutters along paving
and macadam. Have instructed water
superintendent to inspect all fire hy
drants in order that we may enter the

dition. Instructed chief of police to put on
extra men Hallow'een, in order to pro
tect as far as possible all property
from destruction.
Miss Nora Arbuckle, city treasurer,
having been called to Washington, D.
C, to accept a position in the office of
the adjutant general, has offered hel
resignation to take effect November
10th.
Have asked city attorney to draw up
ordinance to keep children from coast
ing on viaduct with sleds, push carts
and other vehicles. In regard to pro
tection of children we will have the
co-operation of Superintendent Hamp
ton, and believe with an ordinance and

feet from the iron works and by hav

materially reduce his fire risk and
insnrance. Yours respectfully,
F. B .CURREY,
General Manager.
