OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1916. 3 mwi I) The fffexo& JTare HUNTLEY BROS. CO THE FASHIONS .SB Quite as interesting, at the open ing of a season, as the new designs themselves and a thousand and one odd little fads which Fashion always presents at her openings, are the new materials in which to fashion these stunning modes. It is amusing to note to what an extent serge is still being used this spring for suits and one-piece frocks. It is not an exag geration to state that at least nine tenths of the new spring suits are being made of dark blue serge, "Ceste si chic," the smiling little French vendeuse, will tell you. and you can read between the words, "and wool en novelties so scarce." In America it is the dye situation which is affect ing our woolens, and not.that we have as yet felt it to any great degree, but as time goes on and dyestuffs ' continue to get' ore scarce, it is 1 Douna to De leit. We may notice the j effect this season in the prevalence j of black and white checks, stripes and blocks, and in the popularity of pale shades in suitings. White cotton and wool mixtures, striped or barred with pale tones of gold, blue, green and thin lines of black are unusually modish. For sport wear there are any number of effective materials; some loose weave plaids with backgrounds of white, pastel broadcloths, barred and plaided in more vivid tones, and some particularly effective hopsack ing in plain colors and plaids which may be used for street suits or sport skirts or coats. Silk Suitings Popular The new silk suitings, faille, nad the numerous other twilled silks, tus sahs, gros de Londres, and heavier ribbed silks are very much the vogue. These silks are particularly well suit ed to- the full skirts of the moment, affording the bouffant effect, and lend ing themselves most effectively to the cordings, quillings, pleatings and similar trimming notions now smart. These silk suitings come in all shades of tan, buff, blue, rose, mauve and gray. Taffetas are being used consider ably for suit purposes too; there are quantities of plain taffetas being used in combination with bayadere effects, white stripes on black, blue or green grounds. Checks and stripes are par ticularly smart in taffetas. Pompa dour taffetas will be used generally for wraps and the trimming of suits. Light colors will predominate in these suits as in the wool mixtures. It may be safely said that the silk suit will be the mainstay of spring and early summer. ' The Novelty Cottons There is no paucity of novelties in the new spring and summer cottons; they are most charming, both in color- "BUY IT IN OREGON CITY P ifltnsi Jffatimrai SJattfc OREGON CITY Member or Federal Reserve Bank . 1 (Established 188 9) Under GOVERNMENT Supervision United States Depository for Postal Savings Funds Interest Paid on SAVINGS ACCOUNTS and TIME CERTIFICATES DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE BOUGHT AND SOLD.

'Some of the openwork checked voiles are printed and em broidered with bright colored flowers, oftentimes with quaint, precise, art noveau figures. Soft white batistes show hairlines of color, and are bordered in plain white, edged with the color; these are the new handkerchief embroidered batistes and are used for . lingerie gowns and blouses. . . " Plain lawns and organdies in all the soft pastel tones, and in plain white are exceptionally good .this season. ALASKA SURVEY WORK Ay rJ The organdies are being used for gn tire frocks over slips of a stiffer or gandy. In white these are unusually pretty for graduating frocks and summer dance dresses. One of the prettiest notions for a summer dance frock seen for many a season, was a dainty pale blue organdy with short, full-gathered skirt flecked here and there with a small cluster of pink rosebuds; the surplice closing bodice had full drop-shoulder sleeves, and was finished at the throat with a fine pleated ruff of the organdy, closed on one side with a small bunch of the buds, and long narrow ribbon stream ers of pale pink. The idea of a high neckedsdance frock is somewhat out-of-the-ordinary, but that is just what most of us aro, looking for. A bit of bare throat showing in a V-shaped opening below the dainty ruff gave just a suggestion of decolette which was all that was needed. The silk striped and checked voiles show grounds of one color, triped and barred with contrasting tones, for instance rose,, striped with pale green, blue with .gray, mauve with gold and many other cool, opales cent effects. Trimmings for Summer Frocks Lace in shadowy patterns and cob webby weaves such as Chantilly, Ma- line, and the cheaper shadow laces will be used for flouncings and trimmings for both gowns and blouses; lace is being used considerably in millinery also, draping the picture hat to ac company the organdy frock. Many metal laces are shown for trimming purposes, too, some of them carrying out the patterns of the thread designs. Valenciennes lace will be a great fav orite for the regulation lingerie and for children's dresses. Cut This Out It is Worth Money DON'T MISS THIS.

Early Start to be Made and Much Ground to be Covered in 1916 In accordance with plans approved by Secretary of the Interior Lane, the investigation of the mineral re sources of Alaska by the Geological Survey will be continued this year by 12 parties. Congress has recognized the necessity of preparing in advance for the survey of this difficult field by including the appropriation for its continuation in the urgent deficiency act; which was approved on February 28. This- prompt action makes it pos sible to plan the work in advance of the opening of the field season and to carry out the plan efficiently and economically. The work to be done this year in cludes a detailed survey of the region tributary to Juneau, which is the most important quartz camp in Alas ka. A continuation qt the study of the mineral resources of the Ketchi kan district, where there are impor tant gold and copper mines, is also planned. The investigation of. the water powers of southeastern Alaska will also be continued. Only one party will be employed in the Copper River region. Two parties will work in Prince William Sound. Four parties will make surveys in the region directly or indirectly tnbu tary to the Government railroad under construction. $100 Reward, $100 The readers of his paper will be pleased to learn that science has one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Catarrh being great ly influenced by constitutional condi tions requires constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally and acts thru the Blood on the Mucuous Surfaces of the System thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, giving the patient strength by building up the constitu tion and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in the curative powers of Hall's Catarrh Cure that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address: F. J.

NEW VAULT PERFECTED Oregon City Man Invents Appliance . for Preservation of Dead Believing that there will be a field in the communities of the Pacific Slope for a waterproof burial vault, J. 0. Staats has perfected and patent ed a concrete vault or casket which will soon be manufactured at a plant to be erected near Mountain View cemetery. Mr. Staats, who is a Christian minister,, has attended many funerals where the grave was so wet that lowering the casket into it gave the mourners a shock; and he believes his device will remove this unpleasant feature of winter burials in wet ground. Mr. Staats' vaults have been test ed for over a year, and have proved absolutely waterproof; and he is now completing plans for the manufacture of them on a large scale and for mar keting his product. Aside from be ing a minister Mr. Staats is a mem ber of the county seat school board, deputy county assessor, an expert ac countant, and a former candidate for county treasurer. NEW VIEW OF LIFE Woman Loses Suit John Miller, of Bonng, did not slander Mrs. Amy Nelson, when he said what he did about her, accord ing to a jury in Judge Campbell's court last week. Mrs. Nelson sued Miller for $12,000 damages; but evi dence introduced by the defendant itn pressed the jury somewhat deeply, and the verdict was a clear acquittal for Miller. Burglar Speaks of Ethics from the Standpoint of Human Nature In the April American Magazine is the story of a burglar who at the pistol point gave the following argu ments in favor of his calling to prove that he was as honest as the man he intended to rob: "You .lock up your house every night, don't you? You spend money on patent fastenings for your doors and windows, to protect what you call your property? All right. That makes it a fair fight. If I can break in through your fancy locks I've won a fair fight, and I'm entitled to the goods. If you left off your locks and fastenings I'd be a crook, like you. I'd be taking advantage of your faith in human nature, the way you do. Do you give your victim as good a chance as you have against me? Are there any locks on the doors protect ing their property from you ? Not by a long shot. You con along with the hope of getting something for no thing, and they leave it sticking to your fingers. You do it under cover of the law and they don't even know they've been robbed." TO DISCUSS NAVY Which has the best debating squad this year, Stanford, University of Oregon, or University of Washing ton? The answer will be heard on the night of March 24. The three univer sities are then to meet in a triangular contest. "Resolved, that the United States should maintain a navy above third rank in fighting efficiency," is the topic. The lineups will be: At Palo Alto, Stanford affirmative against Wash ington negative; at Eugene, Oregon affirmative against Stanford negative; at Seattle, Washington affirmative against Oregon negative.

The writer has personally seen spe cific examples of the value and excel lence of tree planting with dynamite ou a private orchard In Delaware, the Blasting for tree planting is best dune In the full, because at this time of the year It is ensler to catch the subsoil In dry condition. Masting in the spring for spring planting, however, is much better than planting In dug holes, not withstanding the fact that the subsoil is apt to be wet or damp. If the holes are blasted In advance of the time of setting the trees they are left without further attention until TOP 5 OIL 7 for the fiscal year 1915, and will probably reach 5,000,000,000,000, or more.- The most noticeable increases in output have been with the pollock, cod, flatfish, blueback salmon, hump back salmon, steelhead salmon, brook trout, rainbow trout, buffalofish, and crappie. While favorable climatic conditions existing during the spawning seasons are to some extent responsible for these increases, credit is given to the energetic efforts put forth by the bur-' eau's representatives in the field. THE BLAST THOROUGHLY CRACKS THE " 80IL, BUT USUALLY LEAVE8 A CAVITY OR POTHOLE AT THE BOTTOM THI8 MUST BE FILLED. difference in growth between the un dynamlted tree and the tree planted lu blasted ground being so unmistak ably In favor of the latter that no ad equate comparison could be made. Furthermore, there are so many sane and logical reasons for this method of tree planting that even the most skep tical could not fail to be convinced. Obviously when a tree has to use a large part of its energies In forcing its roots through the bard soil It can- not be expected to make the same rapid growth and come Into such tree planting timer unless It Is desir able to add some manure or fertilizer to be diffused through the soil. This Is an excellent practice, especially In poor soil. If the earth Is sour, sticky clay a few pounds of lime scattered In the hole will materlully assist In floc culating the clay and keeping It per manently granulated and sweet. Immediately after the blast the soft bluBted ground should be dug out down to the location of the charge, where a bole will usually be found about the size of a bushel basket.

During this period, the actual distribution of fish of all spec ies in the various gelds of activity shows an increase of approximately 800,000,000 over the distributions dur ing the same period in 1915. This would indicate that the output for the entire year will exceed the record output of 4,288,757,804 fish and eggs FEDERAL WARNING OUT Uncle Sam's Health Bureau Takes a Crack at the Demon Rum The Courier has received the fol lowing from the United States Public Health service, and prints it for the joy it will arouse in some local hearts. "The United States Public Health Service brands strong drink as the most efficient ally of pneumonia. It declares that alcohol is the hand maiden of the disease which produces ten per cent of the deaths in the United States. This is no exaggera tion. We have known for a long time that indulgence in alcoholic liquors lowers the individual vitality, and that the man who drinks is pe culiarly susceptible to pneumonia. The United States Public Health Ser vice is a conservative body. It does not engage in alarming propaganda. In following out the line of its official duties it has brought forcefully to the general public a fact which will bear endless repetition. The liberal and continuous user of alcoholic drinks will do well to heed this warning, par ticularly at this season of the year when the gruesome death toll from pneumonian is being doubled." Women Best Students Of the 50 students of O. A. C. fall ing below the minimum passing grade of 70 per cent, fiorty-five were men and five women. All these were au- ' tomatically dropped. Twenty-eight have been reinstated on strict proba tion. Fifteen have been definitely denied re-admission for at least one semester. The cases of the other seven are still pending The Courier $1.00 per year. WHAT CATARRH IS It has been said that every thiid person has catarrh in some form. Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates a general weakness of the body; and local treatments in the form of snuffs and vapors do little, If any good. To correct catarrh you should treat its cause by enriching your blood with the oil-food In Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal food and a building-tonic, free from alcohol or any harmful drugs.
