CO. - THE FASHIONS ' Paris and New York are both at the moment, and have been for ever so many weeks back, in the midst of the Spring opening hubbub. We are not quite sure as yet whether coats are to be short or three-quarter length, whether sleeves are to be tight or loose, whether blonde or bru nette will be the fashion this season. It is quite safe-to predict, however, that the same general lines suggest ed in the mid-reason openings and at the various fashion shows will be fol lowed. Here and There the Tapering Waist Quite often one notices in the new importations a tendency to the slen der, tapering waist; and this,' of course, means the well-corseted figure. It is not probable that the hour-glass figure will be countenanced for a mo ment, but a trifle more trimness, con duced by a well-fitting modern corset, is necessary to meet the requirements of the Spring suit, with its hint of a curve at the waistline, its graceful flaring skirt and coat-skirt. A care fully selected and properly fitted cor set is necessary and always has been to a smart, well-groomed appearance.. Rather than injurious, the right cor set tends toward realth. : 'Several of the Paris houses are ad vocating the three-quarter length coat, and now and jthen one sees a polonaise effect. These coats are mnrifl with well-fitted shoulders nnd rounded waistline. It is quite re markable that this should be so just now,, when we are massing so much fulness in the skirts between the belt and the knees, but it only goes to show the wide variety we are to en joy this Spring and Summer. A Word on Skirts Skirts continue short and full. Many of the houses are emphasizing the favor shown by them for the crinoline since the first whisper of full skirts began to circulate, and many are using interesting methods of extending the skirts; among these are reeds, featherbone, and even hair cloth stiffenings. In many instanceo the reeds are graceful and becoming, but, as a rule, the effect is extreme ly awkward, as there is rfo pretense whatever of concealing the mediums, and they often protrude at unexpect ed angles, giving a curious, un beautif ul result. In the regulation Summer frock and the dance dress of net, organdy, or other of the sheer, dainty fabrics favored this year, the fullness of the skirt is made decidedly graceful and youthful by tucks, ribbons and bias bands of the same, or a contrasting material. Often folds of chiffon or net are attached to the inside of-the skirt of the dance dress giving a soft, bouffant effect which is pleas ing in every way. Taffeta is unusual ly effective combined with, or as trim ming for, the pale-toned frock of or gandy or net, fashioning the Summer dance dress. In both illustrations this week the skirt is of taffeta, and the effect of the deep tuck is well brought out. The first dress has an underbodice of shadow lace and a simple over-drapery of chiffon. The short sleeve cap, while it concedes to Fashion's sleeveless demand, also makes a concession to modesty. The second frock shows the combination of net and taffeta. Aside from being especially pretty, this combination is practical, as net wears particularly well and lends itself to almost any fashion, of draping, 'Ribbons and Ruchings" Plentings and ruchings of all widths and fashions are still favored trimmings for both street and house WASHINGTON HELPS US" Surplus Lumber from Evergreen State Is Sent to Oregon for Milling According to a recent bulletin of the Forest Service, Oregon wouldn't be able to get along without its neighboring state on the north; for a goodly share of Oregon's lumber comes from the northern state. Ac cording to the figures compiled by the Forest Service, Washington pro duces about five and a half billion board feet of logs annually, but con sumes only a little over 4 1-3 billion board feet. The balance is sent to Oregon for manufacture. Washington produces approximate ly 8 1-3 million linear feet of poles and piling, and consumes about six million linear feet. The railroads of Washington con sume over 675,000 hewn ties, and the mines of the State consume 33,500 hewn ties. . The State also consumes over ten million linear feet of round mine material. . Washington produces annually more than 4 billion feet of lumber, nearly half a billion pieces of lath, and over 8 billion shingles. Of this quantity, she consumes only 2Yi percent of the shingles and 12 per cent of the lath. Of the lumber pro duced, she consumes 17 Vs per cent, or over 700 million feet, about two- thirds of which is used for building purposes. . frocks. Narrow black velvet ribbon is most effective and easily applied. On some of the impoi-ted models cord ings, pipings, and ruchings appear in most unexpected places. One can not fail to see that handwork, and in dividual hand-made trimmings, stitch ings, etc., can work wonders, and af ford an effect which can scarcely be brought about by machine-made trim mings. It is quite interesting to see little blue serge frock trimmed with insertions of matching net, with ac companying pendant ornaments of wool or beads in a soft harmonizing coloring. Bead trimming is effective on both silk and wool materials; it is being used in any way that- clever brains and fingers may design. The more original the notion, the more attractive the blouse or frock. Pale pink crepe de Chine or crepe is made more delicate by a banding or an or nament of delft-blue opaque beads. Dark blue taffeta or serge may - be brightened with a touch of emerald green, orange, copper or a harmoniz ing, contrasting blue. There are any number of smart artistic ways of trimming frocks and blouses this sea. son with practically no expenditure of money, if one has ideas and fingers deft enough to carry them out. fck You Can Do Better for Less on Third Street'' Store Opena The Most in Value ' The Best in Quality Store Closes Pacific Phone Home " Phone Marshall 5080 THE MOST IN VALUli THE BEST IN QUALITY A 2112 200 DIFFERENT STYLES OF NEW VOILES SELLING AT 25c PER YARD Beautiful 38-inch Voiles the season's most favored wash fabric, shown in over 200 different styles, small, medium and large flowers; also narrow, med- QCn ium and wide stripes and the ever-popular plaids all at, yard, &UU New Waistings at 25c per yard About 150 attractive new styles in fine zephyr and madras in checks, QCn stripes, and plaids in colors suitable for dress, waist or skirt price, yard, ub NEW SPORT ..STRIPES to 11-Inch Styles The most fashionable colorings in the new sport stripe wash materials.

The text was written by Mr. C. I. Lewis, Chief Di vision of Horticulture, Oregon Agri cultural College, Corvallis, Oregon. The cover plate shows a collection of Oregon walnuts in natural colors. The interior pictures are taken from various walnut orchards throughout Western Oregon, and show in addition to general views technical illustra tions of grafting, pruning, budding, etc. . . Prof. Lewis has covered the walnut industry very thoroughly in this book, and it should be in the hands of every walnut grower in this state. He treats first of the consumption of wal nuts in the United States, and calls attention to the fact that here were imported into the United States, last year over thirty million pounds of walnuts. Although Oregon produces but a small proportion of the wal nuts grown in this country, neverthe less over one fourth of the young non-bearing walnut trees of the Unit ed States are right here in Oregon. Copies of this book can be obtained from Southern Pacific Agents, or by addressing Mr. John M. Scott, Gen eral Passenger Agent, Southern Pa cific Company, Portland, Oregon. LOCAL COMPANY GROWS Interest in 'Militia Increases, Follow-. ing Campaign for Support " G. Company, of the Oregon Nation al Guard, which has its headquarters in Oregon City, is rapidly growing. nd will soon be recruited up to its full strength if indications count for nything. Captain Blanchard says enlistment are averaging about six a week, and much interest is being shown in the company since the re' cent campaign in its behalf. At the drills held in Armory Hall many spectators turn out, and of these about a third are women. The evolu tions of the soldiers are closely watched, and when they do extra well they are applauded. Captain Blanchard has received from the Adjutant General's office a complete complement of "march kits" which are issued only when it appears that the guard may be called on for service, and which are not to be open ed until the soldiers receive definite orders to mobilize. This leads some of the officers to believe that there yet may be a call for the Guard in conection with the Mexican situa. tion. ' H. R. R. night They Let Him Sleep T. Stranyge, Gainesville, Ga No. 3., was unable to sleep all without getting up. "Some times only a few minutes after going to bed, I would have to get up, and I tried everything I heard of for the trouble. Finally I tried Foley Kidey Pills and after taking one bottle I be lieve I am entirely cured, and I sleep soundly all night." Foley Kidney Pills tone up weak, sluggish kidneys rid the body of poisons, give appetite energy and refreshing sleep. Jones Drug Co.

INCIDENT OF WAR Welsh Song Brings Truce on Battle Lines of Europe, Says Report An interesting side-light on the great European war is given in re cent correspondence of the Associat ed Press, which tells of a temporary truce between the entrenched soldiers near Dixmunde as the result of a bit of singing by a Welshman on the side of the Allies. The incident is re counted as follows: "It was a miserable night. heavv rain had filled the trenches knee-deep with half-frozen mud There was no sound except the 'plop' of a German bullet against the earth of the parapet and the crack of a British rifle in return. "We. were unprepared for- any break in the dull misery of our rou tine when out of the darkness came a OREGON CITY ...

It was the cheeriest sound I ever: heard. At the end a round of applause came down the trenches. But imagine our surprise to hear clappings and calls for more in good English from the German trenches. Thereupon the gallant Welshman gave us 'Mintra Gwen.' "Meantime we realized that not a shot had been fired by either side dur ing the song. We had forgotten all about the war. ' So a bargain was struck with the Germans that if the Welshman would give us another song neither side would fire any more un til daylight. "The third song was 'Hen Wlad'fy Nhadau.' It was perhaps the first time the Welsh national anthem was ever heard on this dismal Flemish BOY SCOUTS BUSY Rev. Spiess Forms Troop to Train ES' tacada Young Men .Through the efforts of Rev.
