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

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. The total trav
el to September 15, 1915, was 10,545,
the total autos, 2,076, while the fig

above what it was in 1910.
Polk county is at work paving its

acres, lying on the south side of the
McKenzie river three miles above
Walterville, has just been purchased
by Col. J. M. Moore, a well known
Washington rancher, the considera

former owner of the place, has ac
quired valuable Washington properties
as part consideration in the transac
tion and will proceed north with his
family in a few days.
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. This was not altogether
expected in the trade, as August
brings harvest work when building on
the farms might be expected to come
to a halt.
McMinhville camp Woodmen of the
World, through its several commit
tees, is busy at work getting its new
building ready for the dedication on
Saturday evening, October 14.
Sometime in November, Dayton is
to stage a Corn Show. This was de
cided last Monday evening at 'a meet
ing held at the Commercial club rooms
at Dayton. County Agent S. ,M,
Schrock and I. B. Shirley were in at
tendance. J. Luther Chapin, of Sa

Loging Co., was present and made n
talk in favor of a corn fair.
After several jjears of experimen
tal work Mr. C. T. Brixey, the pro
prietor of a McMinnville nursery, has
succeeded in bringing into bearing a
new prune, which is destined to gain
favorable recognition among prune
growers.
Work on the Hubbard sewer sys

and shovels can do it and by the end
of the week a good part of the trench
on D street west of Third will be dug
and part of the sewer pipe "laid.
Wallowa county's varied products
will be on display this week at the

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. Badger Clark, Jr.

COUNTY FAIR CLOSED
Baby Show is Feature of Final Pro
gram at Canby .
The Clackamas county fair closed
last Thursday, passing into history
with the closing of the gates after the
crowds from all parts of the county
had departed, and scores of babies
that took part in the big baby show
were much in evidence.
Prettiest girl and prettiest boy ba
bies,' all sizes and styles of babies,
were shown, and the judges, L. B.
Gorman, Mrs. W. H. Bair and Mrs.
Wolff, picked from the numbers the
tots who received the many cash and
merchandise prizes.
Prizes for juvenile ezhibits in the
school industrial department were
awarded. Four school children will
receive trips to the state fair, with
all expenses paid. They were: Har
old Casto, Carus; Melvin Mills, Dry
land; Annie Mullenhoff, Damascus;
Evelyn Bohlander, Beaver Creek. The
juvenile displays were packed Thurs
day night to be set up at the state
fair at Salem in charge of J. E. Cal
avan, county school superintendent,
and Brenton Vedder, supervisor.
Judging was completed in the live
stock department yesterday. Win
ners of ribbons in this department
are scattered throughout the county,
with special honors going to such ex
hibitors as A. D. Gribble, Aurora;
Grant B. Dimick, Oregon City; D. C.
Harms, Macksburg; W. F. Harris &
Son, Beaver Creek; G. C. Clark, Can

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.

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."

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.
Auto Damaged
Arthur Graham, cashier of the Can
by State bank, narrowly escaped iiP
jury at Canby Saturday night when an
automobile in which he was riding
went into a ditch at the roadside. Mr.
Graham was instructing a 12-year-old
boy in the operation of the machine
and, it is said, the boy was not strong
enough to control the wheel. The
front axle, lights and fenders of the
car were damaged.
