New York, Aug, B, lluve you seen th new suits in two nuiteriusl ? They are quite the nige, with their jaunty, flarinjr coats in one, and swagger skirts in nnother material which is totally different. To see them, one must take a run down to Long Beach some afternoon, or slip over to New port and stroll by the Casino in the morning. They are worth seeing, as they como now fresh from Paris and are worn by New York's smart so ciety. It is an opportunity of a life time. Never has such style been dis played on our own hsores. They only wait these fashionable people, po litely bored by the things at home for the war to cease, that they may winter or summer, ns chance may be, on the other side of the great Atlan tic. Now the modes are brought to them. If they cannot be at Monte Carlo, Trouvillc or D'Eauville, they will at least wear here what they would have worn there. Hlue mill White Serges, Checks and Worsteds in Combination. Paris' first venture for the fall is accepted with open arms on this sidi of the Atlantic. Perchance, it is be cause her venture is suits, for Paris knows well the American woman's weakness for the strictly tailored. It's a clever idea, this showing of jaunty little jacket-suits before plunging in to long coats and heavy skirts for cold weather. The serges are espe cially summery, as they appear in combinations of blue and white. Most noticeable was a suit worn by one of a party of ladies at Long Beach last Sunday a distinctly military type in cut. The coat of dark blue serge, patterned on straight lines, with a high collar like the dress coat of the cadet, braiding and all. The skirt was of fine white serge, a bit scantier in width than the usual run of things, with a strip of broad white Hercules braid at the side seam With this, she wore a broad, straight- brimmed, blue chiffon sailor, With a scarf of the chiffon edged with beads resemblance, the "Boy Scout. We hear from Paris that the idea of two materials in one suit will be carried out in checked nad plain, and striped and plain worsteds; already there is a showing of these models by the exclusive shops, Unlike the ser ges, the coats of these suits ars usual ly belted and are amply supplied with patch pockets, more like the khaki suits worn by soldiers. One model just received from the other side is made in this style, with a plain full skirt. The coat is of dark brown worsted and the skirt, collar, belt and cuffs of a two-toned browin check. Enter the Hat of Italian Hersigliere The suit is given the honor place in thhe window of one of our great department stores and with it is esaucheavyfnavoutedthe.hsown ion'lw shown the hat of the Italian bersi gliere. Whether or not this hat will be popular remains to be seen. As it appears in black velvet, with slightly tilted brim, stiff high crown and drooping cock's lpume at the side, it is a bit trying to the average. It takes a daring perso nto wear it at tho necessary forty-five degree slant to give it style. That Paris has tak en up is a fact. We hear from this city: "One of the very smartest lit- so ago at the Ambassadeurs wearing not only the hersigliere hat with its flowing cock's plume at the side, but also a frock of Tyroliun-stnped taf feta, with a short, plain, surplice cor sage in Italian green silk." Bracelet Handbags. The mode has remained sobmer al ready too long. This is evident in the accessories that are being shown with the midsummer suits. Hand bags are especially frivolous. Not only do they appear in brilliant silks with gate-tops, but leather bags, too, tend decidedly toward fancy effects White kid is favored, alone or in com bination with black patent leather or pale blue. Those are usually in the gathered bags. The latest novelty is a black kid bag, with an imitation tortoise-shell frame and bracelet to hold it by. It is lined-with black-and white striped moire and a mirror is introduced in the form of a semi-circle mounted on nn insido gold-plate frame. Colored Kouri'liettes in Silk Gloves Silk gloves, too, are more elaborate than in past seasons. The introduc ing of the colored fourchettes be tween the fingers is one of tho new ways of making the white glove match tho costume. The gloves are usually made in gauntlet style, with the strips betwewen the fingers black, dark blue, or green, with the buttons and, perhaps, a vent in the cuff sec tion of the same shade. The idea is finding favor, and it is rumored that tho kid gloves imported for the fall will also show these contrasting col ors in even more elaborate effects. Dance Frocks Pointed. Dame Fashion is not confining her self solely to the military. The Col onial "contributes its share to the pres cntday modes in dance frocks. These, too, diverge somewhat from the sim plicity which marked their entry a season ago. One of the new frocks worn at a mid-week dance showed how effectively the pointed trimming can be carried out in a dress of this type. Tho dress was made wholly of tulle bound in silk. The waist was a delicate blue, with neck edge and deep sleeve ruffle bound in rose silk. A broad girdle of the same material finished the waist, and the skirt, cut in deep points at the lower edge, was of the blue tulle bound with the silk which made it twist and billow out until the points were almost imlistin- planting Sugar Cane, guishable. Below the first skirt there ( jn a bulletin of the Pan-American was yet another, and another, of the union on cane sugar in the Americas tulle, pointed at the lower edge and it is stated that sugar cane Is planted, bound with the silk The first layer I D0t sown. A small piece of the cane, was rose and then' under that the long enough to iucludu two or three of blue again, giving a veiled rainbow I the rings, or nodes, is laid lengthwise, effect, Slippers Accept Buttonhole Bouquet , With this were worn slippers and stockings to match the rose red. In the front there was a wee bunch of rosebuds and foliage in the place of a buckle for all the world a button hole bouquet in a new" place. This same idea is carried out in all shades of slippers. They are certainly charming with the dance frocks these delicate blue, pink, yellow and white slippers, each with its bud or cluster of blossoms at the toe. MM EaaJ M Fans Dolly Varden. It is only natural that the fan should accord with the rest of the costume. Now that the skirts are voluminous to the extreme of fulness and waist plain, tight and basque like, fans return to the Dolly Vardun ivories and pattern creations. They are coquettish dispite their diminu tive size, the bright, painted crinoline fgures gving a certain gaiety to their aspect. One of the novelties is a fan of this type of viory, with an ivory bracelet to slip over the arm. Evening Wraps Veiled. The wraps designed to wear with the costume have nothing of the crin oline simplicity. They are three- quarter, loose and flowing, of striped and figured satin, veiled with white and colored chiffon. Suare, deep collars predominate, edged with black velvet or a bit of fur. R. L. Holman and T. P. Randall, Leading Undertakers, Fifth and Main St.; Telephones: Pacific 415-J; Home B-18. WATCH THE RECORD County Warrants Should Show Where Every Penny Is Spent C. C. Chapman, in last week's Ore gon Voter, remarks, among other things: "Several counties are following the irregular practice of drawing war rants for lump sums to be turned over to rondmasters and district su pervisors to apply on road con struction work, both for buying small supplies and meeting pay rolls. "This is strictly against the law, and the county officers are liable on their bonds if any taxpayer sues, or if any funds miscarry. "It is required that the warrants be drawn in fnvor of the men who do the work of the firms from whom supplies are bought by the regular method of purchase prescribed by law. "The purpose of the law is to pre vent padding pay rolls. Dishonesty is impossible with some rondmasters, hut if anything went wrong, like a rondmaster being held up and rob bed, or any other miscarriage of funds, it would raise a mean row nnd the bonded county officer who author ized the irregular procedure would have to make up the sum. 'With as much irregular practice as is going on in many road districts it behooves county commissioners to watch carefully," or stuck In a slanting direction, along a furrow which runs the length of the field. In some sections the primitive fashion of plautlug in holes is still em ployed, When the trench is planted the pieces of cane are lightly covered with earth. In a few weeks they show growth above the ground, the germ buds at the rings ' having begun to shoot out in the form of young cane, the ring having at the same time thrown out rootlets into the soil. The parallel trenches are made far enough apart, say at least three feet, to en able tho workers when the wide spreading Canes are getting ripe to go between the rows nnd remove the dy ing leaves which burden the ripening cane, thereby enabling the naked cane to mature faster. Our Universe. Simon Newcomb, one of tho most eminent mathematicians, wrote: "Speaking roughly, we have reason from the data so fur available to be lieve that the stars of the Milky way are situated at a distance between 100, 000,000 and 200,000,000 times the dis tance of the sun. "It is not a chance. It is not even a collection of things, each of which came into existence Its own separate way. If it were there could be nothing iu common between two widely sep arated regions of the universe. But, as a matter of fact, science shows unity in the whole structure and diversity only In details. "The universe, so far as we can see it, Is a bounded whole. It Is surround ed by an immense girdle of stars, which to our vision appears as tho Milky way. While we cannot sot exact limits to its distance we may yet con fidently say that it la bounded." When a Man Marries.

In 1439, when the Venetians were at war with the Milanese they brought half a dozen war galleys with twenty Ave smaller craft up the Adige river as far as Mori, some miles above Ala. Then came a feat which reminds us of the Turk's extraordinary achieve ment fourteen years later at Constan tinople. By means of rollers and 2,000 men the Venetians hauled these ships up to the mountain saddle and lowered them on tho other side to the Luke of Garda. "It was a task of fourtee'n days," says J. J. Stoddurd, "and cost an enormous sum of money, but tho result justified the boldness and ex travagance of the undertaking, for In tho following year the Venetians, aid ed by their imported galleys, vanquish ed their opponents nnd gained posses sion of the lake." Loudon Chronicle. The Ideal Soup Kettle. One of the woeful aspects of soup making in the pre-euameled ware days was the cleansing of the heavy iron kettle, for washing a kettle big enough to hold a shin bone of beef with trim mings was uo joke. Today, however, one can have the trim enameled kettle in any size, light yet strong, and all It needs is hot suds and n good rinsing to make it beauti fully clean and sanitary. If, iu addi tion, there Is a colliuider of enameled ware for the straining of the soup iuto a pan to match tho equipment is ideal for cleanliness, quickness and results. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. CONFER ON QHURCH. Property Owners Object to Some Phases of Meetings. A conference was held between Mayor Jones, Chief of Police Shaw, City Attorney Schuebel and a num ber of property owners Wednesday morning, at which complaints were voiced by the property owners aginst certain phases of the meetings of a religious organization that has erect ed a tabernacle in the Mountainview district. It was said by the prop erty owners that the religious enthu siasts not only made an unnecessary amount of noise, but that some of the members of the congregation, while "under the power," behaved in ways that were detrimental to the peace of the locality. Numrous instances of alleged in fractions of the peace were cited and city officials were asked to take some action in the matter. After much discussion it was finally agreed that if any of the property owners would swear to complaints, the of fending folk would be taken into cus tody and brought before Recorder Lo der. Just what action would then be taken is still a problem that has not been solved. While admitting that there could be no interference with the actual re ligious meetings of ' the disturbing sect, city officials said that they be lieved the municipality had a right to interfere with members of the con gregation who, after leaving the meetings, misbehaved in any way up on the streets. The conference was called as the direct result of the ac tions of a woman, who this week, af ter one of the meetings, threw her self prone upon the lawn of a near ly property owner and refused to move. waite beleives that the county ought to do all it can. NEW LIBERTY BELL SHOW YOUR SPUDS Oregon Needs Tubers for Display at San Francisco Fair William Grissenthwaite, who has just returned from the Panama Pa cific fair at San Francisco, says that Clackamas county's exhibit is one of the real wonders of the fair, and that it is easy to see how Oregon won the many prizes that have come her way. Only in one regard could Oregon's exhibit be better, says Mr. Grissen thwaite, and this is in a way that Clackamas county farmers can help. There is a dearth of good spuds on hand. Every Clackamas farmer knows that spuds from this neck of the woods are better than spuds rais ed anywhere else, and Clackamas county should prove this at the fair. Hence Mr. Grissenthwaite calls upon every Clackamas farmer to bring in his best potatoes to the publicity show rooms of the Oregon City Commercial Club, so that they may be sent to the exhibition for display. Great big potatoes, such as are commonly raised in Clackamas coun ty, are needed to win prizes more prizes with. Every farmer should pick out some good ones and send them in, so that they may show east erners and California folk what the best section of the Willamette valley can do in this line. All potatoes sent in will be forwarded to Mr. Freytag at San Francisco, and when exhibited there will bear the name of the grow er. Clackamas county can win priz es with its spuds, and Mr. Grissenth- Oregon Building at Frisco Fair Has "Tne Made of Cherries There are two Liberty bells at the Panama-Pacific fair at San Francis co.. One of them is the real article, and has a place of honor in the Penn sylvania building. And the other thanks to C. M. and G. C. Stackland, of Cove, Union county, Oregon, grac es the enterior of the giant Oregon building. The artists, who last week sup plied the Eastern Oregon booth with two immense designs in which light and dark cherries were used to form the American flag and an eagle upon a shield have now sent down a "Lib erty Bell" done in Bings and Royal Anns. The design is four by six feet, and the representation of the bell, even to the crack in this historic rel ic, is perfect. The idea pleases the public and the size and beauty of the cherries pleases the visitors even more. Eastern Oregon cherries, com ing in two weeeks after the Willam ette Valley, Rogue River and Hood River cherries, have the field to them selves and attract very much atten tion. Most easterners have never seen cherries the size of Oregon Bings and Lamberts, such as Eastern Ore gon has on display at the Palace of Horticulture and the showing is in the nature of a real treat. Besides the Liberty Bell, the immense flag shown at the Cove cherry fair two weeks ago, and which travelled 1,050 miles to get there, is still on display in the Eastern Oregon booth. Perilous Times Teer hunting oper.a August 15. Al ready in other states men are being shot by nervous hunters who think "a rustling in the bushes'' can be nothing else than a deer. And to lessen this peril of the fool with a gun, comes again the suggestion that all hunters wear scarlet coats. And also arises the suggestion that all all hunters wear scarlet coats. And al so arises the question: It it better to wear a scarlet coat and be gored by passing bulls, or is it better to wear ordinary clothes and be shot by a fool? These are indeed periluos times that are approaching. Courier and the Western Stock Journal $1.50 per year.
