there over the inside surface. It is
an extremely dainty notion, complet
ing the summer frock in a most fas
cinating manner. Ostrich feathers
edging the parasol is another effec
tive fancy. .
Neckwear this season is as fascin-
ating and offers as many possibilities
for individuality as ever, Some smart
little novelty ruches from Paris, now
being shown in the shops to complete
a costume effectively, are narrow and
finished with a buckle; or tie with nar
row ribbons.
Popularity of Lace and Embroidery
' The extreme favor being shown the
typical linger frock has brought lace
and embroidery into wide use again
this summer. Lace is being used for
trimming dresses and blouses, and
often forms the greater portion of
the garment The sheer lace flounc
ings are particularly pretty for sum
mer dance and evening dresses. Metal
THE FASHIONS
Hats, veils, shoes, parasols, dainty
little collar and cuff sets, and, all the
numerous other accessories which go
to complete the costume are char
mingly designed this season to fit in
smartly with the new silhouette and
the general lines of the costume.
Shoe manufacturers are loud in
their praise of the short-skirt vogue.
In former years skirts have varied in
width and trimming, but until this
season have always remained at a
conservative length. With the modish
short skirt of the moment, smart, trim
shoes are absolutely necessary to the
general effect of the costume. The
high laced boot of tan, brown, black
or gray is popular with the tailored
suit; for afternoons, with the light
silk or the novelty cotton frock, the
old-time Colonial pump, with its huge
buckle of silver or gun-metal, is once
more a low-shoe favorite.
Veils, Parasols and Collars
At the beginning of the season
there were any number of novel ef
fects in veilings, but with the advance
of the season the call for veilings for
street and general use, aside from
motoring, dwindles usually to the
face veil, of almost invisible mesh,
intended merely to keep the hair in
place. The trick of arranging the
veil over the hair, under the hat, is
practical and clever, especially with
the larger hats. The hat may be
readily removed and the veil remain,
keeping the hair smoothly and neat
ly in place.
Parasols promise to" play a more
prominent part in this summer's
wardrobe than for many a summer
past; they are oddly shaped and vivid
ly colored. One of the newest ideas
is the blue-bird parasol; these are
embroidered, stencilled, or appliqued,
and spread their wings all around the
outside edge of the white or softly
tinted parasol, or scatter here and
ft if!
laces are effective on the more formal
gowns for daytime and evening. A
particularly pretty use of lace flounc
ing is illustrated in the little Spanish
dance-frock shown here; upper portion
of skirt and bolero are of taffeta, bod
ice and flounce of a thread-lace flounc
ing. An effective bit of contrast is
introduced in the dark girdle and the
narrow ribbons banding the short puff
sleeves. Another, a simpler, even
more youthful dress is illustrated of
voile and embroidery flouncing; it is
charmingly suited to the young girl
for summer wear.
The tub-frock is more popular than
for many a year; Paris herself endors
es the cotton dress this summer.
Many attractive novelties are being
sent us from the French looms; among
them are the artistic piques, voiles,
and other fabrics of Rodier, with their
quaint patterns and effective color
ings. A particularly pretty voile for
blouses and frocks is a fine check in
: (Mfl

color, with a solid selvage; this color
ed selvage is used as a finish for col
lar, cuffs, jabots and the like.
The Colored Lingerie Blouse
- The colored blouse of organdy,
voile, Georgette, and wash satin, has
taken such a hold on popular fancy
that it is quite difficult to find a really
attractive plain white blouse, except
ing those for sports wear. Pale pink,
all tones of tan and yellow, soft
blues and grays predominate. The
costume blouse of pale cream lace or
Georgette, usually has an interlining
of the palest flesh chiffon; the blue
waist is piped with pink, or another
harmonious contrast. It is indeed a
season of color and one may indulge to
the heart's content.
. For the sports blouse, handkerchief
and butcher's linen are both popular;
pongee, the rough Chinese crepes, and
the coarser voiles are also practical
and well liked. Costume-blouses and
shirt-waists are mostly finished with
the open throat or adjustable collar,
although with the strictly tailored
suit one sees now and then a fetch
ing choker.

LAND CAN BE IRRIGATED
The Courier $1.00 per year.
Irrigation Experts Specify Land that
Can Be Reclaimed
Approximately 100,000 acres of
land can be feasibly irrigated in the
Willamette valley at the present
time, results of an investigation just
completed by the United States Re
clamation Service in co-operation with
State Engineer Lewis ehow. A joint
report of the inquiry into irrigation
and power development possibilities
of the Willamette valley was issued
this week.
The survey extended from Canby at
the mouth of the Molalla river, to the
head of the Willamette river above
Cottage Grove and included the area
in the immediate vicinity of Port
land. It is pointed out that the water
supply for the proposed irrigation of
the valley lands in many cases may
be obtained from wells by pumping.
The report declares that the average
economic duty of water which seems.
to be indicated for the valley as a
whole is eight inches delivered to the
land, varying with local conditions of
soil and crops.
Those employed in the survey in
vestigated the water-power develop
ment possibilities on the north fork
of the Santiam river with storage at
Marion lake; the upper reaches of
the McKenzie river and the middle
fork of the Willamette river.
On the McKenzie river there are
two existing plants and at least two
new developments proposed, one at
Vida and the other between the out
let of Clear lake and the mouth of
Smith river, involving the use of
Clear lake for regulation of flow.
On the middle fork of the, Willa
mette river the study of the' existing
project promoted by the Waldo Lake
Irrigation & Power company shows
that with storage in Waldo lake and
utilization of the flow of the north
fork of the middle fork of the Willa
mette river in conjunction with that
of Salt creek and Salmon creek, be
tween 100,000 and 150,000-horsepower
may be developed. The estimated
supply from Waldo lake alone, if used
for irrigation, it is said would irri
gate more than 100,000 acres in the
Willamette valley.
The report also covers irrigation
possibilities in Rogue river in the vi
cinity of Ashland and Medford. Ac
cording to the report about 45,000
acres of land can' be irrigated at a
cost of $40 an acre with the waters
of Bear creek and Little Butte creek,
supplemented by storage in Fish lake
and Four Mile lake. An additional
supply of about 15,000 acres can
probably be obtained, it is pointed out,
from Big Butte creek and delivered
into what is known as Hopkins lateral,
at a cost of approximately $29 an
acre. '
The report indicates that it would
be possible to bring a part of the
waters of the south fork of the Rogue
river into Big Butte creek, and ma
terially increase the supply for this
stream. The water would all be used
in the Medford division.
In the Ashland division, the re
port says Jhat a 47-foot dam on the
Hyatt prairie resdrvoir slite 'Would
create a storage capacity of 19,700
acre-feet and cover 975 acres of land.
A 75-foot dam at the Beaver -creek
site and a 3000-foot tunnel would
store 46,000 acre-feet of water and
deliver it into Emigrant creek.

MURDERED IN SLEEP
Mrs.
Jennings Victim of Attack at
Home Near County Line
Mrs. Helen Jennings, formerly Mrs.
O. O. Jennings and Mrs. J. S. Seed,
41 years old, was murdered as she
slept Monday night on the old Gore
farm between Sherwood and Tuala
tin, 17 miles southwest of Portland,
close to the Clackamas county line,
and a search is on for the body of
Fred Ristman, the chauffeur who
drove the assassin to his deadly work,
and who is believed to have been a
second victim of the murderer.
The death of the woman was the
culmination of a deliberate, carefully
planned stratagem, and the supposed
murder of the chauffeur, a jitney man,
was incidental to the success of the
plot, on the theory that "dead men
tell no tales," is the conclusion of
deputy sheriffs and detectives detail
ed to the case, after a hasty survey
of facts surrounding the crime. The
robbery motive was abandoned, as
investigation showed the carrying out
of a fixed plan. Mrs. Jennings was
well known to many Clackamas coun
ty people.
Bennett Thompson, ex-convrtcti
known as "The Lone Highwayman," is
now being sought. He is said by de
tectives to have been attentive to
Mrs. Jennings. The man was parol
ed from a 20-year sentence for high
way robbery about two years ago.
Mrs. Jennings is said to have told a
neighbor that she feared an ex-convict
who was annoying her.
"I would not have him angry at
me for the world," Mrs. Jennings is
quoted having said to Aimer Kaspa
rek, a neighbor. . .

FARMERS AIDED
"SHAKESPEARE NEVER REPEATS"
In that respect (and others) I differ from the Illustrious
Bard.
Many Farm Subjects Worked on by
College Staff
Co-operative 'demonstrations were
carried on by 821 Oregon farmers in
1915 and individual assistance was
given to thousands of other farmers
in the solution of their problems, by
the agricultural college extension ser
vice. Further results of farm dem
onstrations, which include the work
of county agents and that of the field
specialists, are shown in the annual
report of R. D. Hetzel, director of
the extension service1.
Very favorable results were ob
tained by demonstrations with vari
ous varieties of grains and grasses
in a number of localities in both
eastern and western Oregon. Alfalfa
was grown in rows in the semi-arid
sections to great advantage, making it
possible to introduce this crop into a
large area in eastern and central Ore
gon. Successful demonstrations were
carried on in introducing Sudan grass
in both dry and arid districts, and in
the use of red clover under irriga
tion. . A very large increase in both
the acreage-and the yield of corn was
secured. M lmr U that tU ti mA will frktYiA

of drainage projects in the Willamette
valley and irrigated districts of east
ern Oregon has been aroused in a
drainage campaign. New drainage
laws to meet Oregon conditions have
been enacted and a number of drain
age associations have been formed.
In addition to this a good deal of pri
vate work in drainage has been car
ried on in various parts of the state.
Another branch that has shown ex
cellent results is that of the boys'
and girls' industrial club work. Dur
ing the year there were enrolled 625
in growing corn, 798 in growing po
tatoes, 2210 in gardening, 1020 in
canning, 1043 in poultry raising, 272
in pig raising, 1620 in bread making,
2750 in sewing, 620 in handicraft, 225
in dairying, 98 in seed grain produc
tion, 25 in fruit growing, and 21 in
advanced agriculture. "These young
people carried their various lines of
work under the direction of the exten
sion officers and the office of superin
tendent of public instruction through
out the growing season, prepared ex
hibits and reports for the various
school and county fairs, and many of
them made exhibits at the state fair.
It is impossible to estimate the value
of the club work in dollars and cents
to the state.

School Standardized
The Gladstone school, by virtue of
having satisfied the twelve demands
made by the state department of edu
cation, was given a standardization
certificate by County School Superin
tendent Calavan on Tuesday. The
Gladstone school 4s concluding a very
satisfactory year and as testimony to
that effect the standardization of the
institution this week is important.
Two other schools are on the super
intendent's list for standardization
this week, and will add materially to
the rapidly growing list of schools
that have qualified under the rules
set down by the state superintend
ent's office. These schools are Beaver
Creek and Mulino.
Would be Divorced
Charging desertion, Lottie J. Craw.
ford on Monday filed a complaint
against Philo L. Crawford, asking for
divorce with the custody of two minor
children. The Crawfords . were mar
ried in Oregon City on October 8,
1907 and on November 15, 1914, ac
cording to the complaint, the hus
band willfully deserted Mrs. Crawford.
I say again that I am an advocate of a higher plane in
politics. At public meetings over the County and in the press
my appeal has been to all that is good and noble in men and
women, and it will be so still, should I
be selected for a place in public life. In
that event, also, .the community will
learn, in time, that loose tongues, wag

Road
Road improvement contracts ap
proximating $4,000 were let by the
city council of West Linn at a meet
ing on Thursday evening, putting into
motion the plans the council has for
conducting an extensive good roads
campaign for that community. The
road work included in the contracts
let last week ia of a varied nature
and made necessary dividing1 the con
tracts into seven parts. W. H. Coun
sel! secured the contract for three of
these parts and E. Parker was award
ed the remaining four. This appor
tionment gives each contractor about
an equal share of the work.
The improvement included in the
contracts covers Sunset avenue- and
two roads leading1 respectively to the
Willamette and Bolton neighborhoods.
Portland Provides Inspection
The city of Portland has passed a
meat inspection ordinance, now effec
tive, and has established a number of
meat inspection plunts, the most con
venient and important of which is the
municipal meat inspection plant in
the south end of the new municipal
dock No. 2, at the foot of East Wash-
ington street, on the Willamette river;
with the splendid cooling rooms and
freezing rooms if desired.
This will enable farmers and
butchers on the upper Willamette
river, on lower and upper Columbia
and Snake rivers, where navigable,
to consign killed, dressed meats to
municipal dock No. 2, on river boats
and after inspection it would thus be
cared for and kept cool and in fine
condition until disposed of. Express
companies are now and will deliver
to municipal dock No. 2, or deliver to
consignee, as the case may be. This
gives to Portland an ideal, central
municipal meat inspection plant. It is'
sanitary, with ample room, all owned
by the city; with ice plant and cool
ing rooms immediately adjacent, for
use as desired, to insure freshness
and purity.
