H WU niMiifii 1 flf 'liri'nr Yf iiJ.uLL'J: THE FASHIONS From the earlier Paris openings, many shipments of suits and gowns have already come to New York, mak ing it quite clear to see what the gen eral trend of the fashions is to be. The silhouette has not undergone any revolutionary change. There is a quiet dignity and simplicity about the styles, in which we notice that Fash ion has taken Moderation to be her watchword. At least for a while who can say for how long she seems to have given up everything that sav ors of exaggeration. Having realized that the extreme shortness of the Bkirts was too exaggerated, she has ordained that skirts shall be longer. The average length of the skirt today is about six inches from the door. There are some Paris houses which have gone to the other extreme, how ever, and have made dresses with skirts that reach the floor, but the ma jority of them have struck a happy medium, and it is not at all likely that the days of trailing skirts will come back again. Presses, too, are free from that extravagant flare which characterized them before, and for the attainment of which we often had to resort to artificial means. This sen son the flare is conspicuous for its absence, one might say, for most of the dresses hang in straight, soft, folds. Nothing has been taken from the width of the skirts. They aro just as ample, and the skirt that measures from three to three and a half yards around the hem is still considered a conservative width. Straight Lines Favored Although the straight effects pre dominate in the more practical styles, in afternoon and evening dresses there are some soft draperies to be seen. Apron effects, too, in the form of soft pleated or gathered bits of the mater ial, hang losely in front of some of the dresses. The waistline in the new fashions is generally in the normal position where nature ment it to be, but it will probably not be stationed there for any length of time, There have been not a few examples of the low waist of the Moyen age and this seems to be gaining popular favor at a great rate. A good many one-piece dresses are made with the skirt attached at a low waist-line, and a girdle is either tied loosely at that point or arranged at the normal line. Navy Blue Serge for Autumn The dark blue serge dress for au tumn is ubiquitous, and when it is not trimmed with colored beads or em broidery it is the exception. Some of the beaded and embroidered designs aro quite elaborate, but in others it is just a simple touch here and there that gives character to a dress and furnishes the correct spot of color. Although it is evident that navy blue and black are the favorite au tumn colors, still there is quite a larg range of other colors to choose from, and they have tho advantage over the two former in that they are newer. One gets tired of dark blue and black, so the new colors are welcome not on ly for the sake of the variety but be cause they are in themselves very beautiful. Plum and purple have been l!

About the State Resume of the News of the Week from All Parts of Oregon THE OUTLAW Auto travel to Crater Lake, despite the shorter season due to heavy snows, for this season exceeds that of a year ago by 270 autos, while the total num ber of tourists is rapidly approaching the record total of 1915, being 24S shy on September 15.

Retail lnmber business is surpris ingly heavy in Enterprise, indicating the large amount of building going on. Sales have been heavier in the last month than in any like period earlier in the year.

When my loop takes hold on a two-year-old, By the feet or the neck or the horn, He kin plunge or fight till his eyes go white, But I'll throw him as sure as you're born; Though the taut rope sing like a ban jo string And the latigoes creak and strain, Yet I've got no fear of an outlaw steet And I'll tumble him on the plain. For a man is a man and a steer is a beast, And the man is boss of the herd; And each of the bunch, from the big gest to least, Must come down when he says the word. When my legs swing 'cross on an out law hawse, And my spurs clinch into his hide, He kin r'ar and pitch over hill and . ditch, But wherever he goes I'll ride. Let 'im spin and flop like a crazy top Or flit like a wind-whipped smoke, But he'll know the feel of my rowelled heel Till he's happy to own he's broke. For a man is a man and a hawse is a brute, And a horse may be prince of his clan, But he'll bow to the bit and the stell shod boot And own that his boss is a man. When the devil at rest underneath my vest Gets up and begins to paw, And my hot tongue strains at its brid le reins, Then I tackle the real outlaw; When I get plumb riled and my senses goes wild, And my temper has fractious growed, If he'll hump his heck just a triflin' speck, Then its dollars to dimes I'm throwed. For a man is a man, but he's partly a beast" He kin brag till he makes you deaf, But the one lone brute from the West to the East That he can't quite break is him self. Chas.

Jones Drug Co. COUNTY FAIR CLOSED Baby Show is Feature of Final Pro gram at Canby .

' DEALERS EVERYWHERE OUR 80 la YEAR A.J.TOWER CO. BOSTON. A Distinctive Reason What is the chief reason for the superi ority of Royal Baking Powder ? There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Royal from other baking powders. This reason, which every woman should know, is that Royal Baking PowdeY is made from cream of tartar, which comes from grapes. This means a healthful fruit origin. It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes used in other baking powders. There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal Baking Powder. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO New York rapidly and will be finished by the first of the month. The board of water commissioners plan a thorough cleansing of the pipe line between the intake at the south fork water works to the municipal reservoirs and will repair, at the same time, the damage done when blow-off valves weakened by the storms and snow slides of last winter burst this summer. The new and old reservoirs will be connected together and the water sup ply will be brought through large mains directly from the south fork of the Clackamas river. The board plans also to add further protection to the pipe line from the intake to the reser voirs to prevent such injuries as wert caused by last winter's storms and slides. A water meter to gauge the flow from the reservoirs is to be pro vided so that the board can keep a check upon the amount of water used by West Linn, which takes its supply from the local tanks. RENEWED TESTIMONY No one in Oregon City who suffers backache, headaches or distressing ur inary ills can afford te ignore this Oregon City woman's twice-told story. It is confirmed testimony that no Ore gon City resident can doubt. Mrs. Emma Wilkinson, 127 Main street, Oregon City, gave the follow ing account of her experience on April 4, 1913. She said: "I have used Doan's Kidney Pills for backache and kidney trouble and have found relief." On April 17, 1916, Mrs.' Wilkinson said: "I gladly confirm my former en dorsement for I still consider Doan's Kidney Pills a medicine of merit and very reliable for kidney disorders. Since taking them, I have had very little trouble from my kidneys." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Wilkinson had. Foster-Mi! burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. MAY REFUSE COMPROMISE City's Trouble With E. B. Lowe Seems Not to Be Settled Although a special councilmanic committe recommended that the city accept 75 per cent of the $312.50 as sesment against the E. B. Lowe prop erty on John Q. Adams street, the owner has refused, thus far, to accept such a compromise. Controversy in conection with this assessment has caused the city much trouble and expense and a reassess ment was forced more than two years ago through court action taken by Mr. Lowe. The owner has offered to. pay not to exceed $125 in settlement of the levy. At a recent council meeting he offered to sell the prop erty for $2000 less than it cost him, claiming that street improvements made in 1913 had done damage to that extent. To meet just' such an exigency the committee's report recommended that the Lowe property be foreclosed and sold if the assessment compromise had not been accepted on October 1. PROFITS FROM PATIENCE Russian Immigrant Harvests Yield Of 12 Grains of Wheat An interesting story of thrift and patience is told by George Von Jeni son, a native of Russia and a resident of Clackamas county for three years, who brought a load of grain to a lo cal commission house on Saturday. Mr. Von Jenison brought a dozen grains of a hardy variety of wheat with him when he came to America. These he planted on a farm in the Mount Pleasant district. The follow ing two years he planted the entire crop from the 12 grains and this year he harvested 1705 bushels of wheat. His entire crop is the product of the 12 grains he carried in his vest pocket from Russia. Other farmers have be come interested in the success of the Russian wheat on land here and Mr. Von Jenison will probably sell most of his yield for seed. City of Portland Sues The city of Portland is plaintiff in an action brought in the circuit court here on Saturday against F. S. White. The complaint filed by the city attor ney of Portland alleges that the de fendant unlawfully took possession of two tracts of land owned by the plain tiff municipality in this county. The complaint acuses Mr. White of dam aging the property by cutting down trees and in other ways and asks judgment in the sum of $300.
