Y., Sunday, Sept. 10, of heart trouble. Mr. lileason had beeo til several weeks, having leen taken 111 at KufTiilo Juue 30, at which time he was removed to his hotue lu 1 ro.v. He was born In Ix'roy June IS, lV.lt. The fruit trade of this country has never known as picturesque a char acter as Pat Uleason. He had friends and acquaintances all over America, and a few years ago the name of Pat (ileason was known In every apple producing section and market In both America and Europe. Ten years ago he and "Cooney" Schopp of St. Louis were the phenomena of the apple speculators' world, but Mr. Uleason was a much heavier op erator than Mr. Schopp. Pat Ulea son was a poor boy and In his youth was uneducated. He began dealing In apples while a young man at Le roy, of which town he afterwards became the leading business man. Always a ery heavy speculation operator. It was lu the summer of 1901 that Pat Uleason set the apple world afire. His holdings In apples that year represented several million dollars. He had been "king" of the east up to that time but In 1 901 he Invaded Cooney Schopp's territory In the west and scooped in orchard after orchard by paying higher prices than Schopp would pay. That sea son he created a sensation In the Kansas City territory by going into the liny lees orchard in Jackson county. Missouri, and paying $28,000 for the fruit on the trees. The deal was made In fifteen minutes. The following spring Mr. Uleason failed for half a million dollars and several large cold storage houses he bad built In western New York state be came Involved. Since that time he has always kppt busy, but the name of Fat Uleason never again created the electrical sensation that It did among apple men of the country be fore that time. The public was not aware of the fact that Mr. Uleason had developed Into an art critic of no small stand ing. During bis frequent trips to Eu rope he became quite well known among art connoisseurs In the galler ies of London and Paris and was generally recognized as an authority. He also devoted much time and at tention to his library, which was one of the finest In western New York state, containing many rare volumns. Apple operators and trade general ly all over the country will hear with much regret that the redoubtable Pat Uleason has passed over the great divide. CITY IMPROVEMENTS BREAK ALL RECORDS The present season has witnessed the accomplishment of more exten sive private and city Improvements In Hood Ulver than any other two previous seasons combined, says the Journal. , Four miles of cement walks have been or are under course of construc tion. The sewering, grading of streets and paving will total $100,000 for the season. The purchase of the water plant and the laying of the the new municipal water system, for which the bonds have been voted, will total $125,000. The new brick business blocks that have been built and are now under course of construction will total flij.OOO, making a grand total of $3.V),000 that will have been spent In city Improvements this season. This will make over $V2 per capita. NEW STYLE GIRL TO BE SKIRTLESS AND SHIRTLESS The fashionable Hood River girl who has not yet purchased her fall and winter finery will no doubt be Interested In knowing that the latest styles direct from Paris provide for a corsetless, triples, sklrtless girl with no rats or puffs, no swishing silk skirts and no high heeled shoes. There seems to be no provision for a fat woman. They are left entirely out of the season's styles and are privileged to wear corsets. The woman of fashion, however, must le slender and willowy. In place of corsages arid skirts there Is a close-fitting one-piece suit of knitted silk. This conforms to the body at every point and over this Is slipped the dress, which Is a whaleboned, glrdle-cllnglrig underlining and dress combined, and Is hooked Into place In the back or at the side. The garment Is split In front al most to the knees, but the opening Is concealed In deft pleats and fold. This permits free walking. "A designer In Paris I won't men i. " i, but he Is most original 1 , r Is trying to force upon the world of fashion a return to crin oline. Well, not precisely crinoline, for the skirt Is funuel shaped, stiffen ed with whalebone and not round. The Idea Is not 'catching on.' The whole thing Is only an extravagance of his. The fashion of l!tl2 will l anything but crinoline. The tight skirt Is to be developed to extremes unheard of. Petticoats will have to go. There's not a scrap of room for them." Thus Lady Duff Uordon, letter known us "Lucille, of Hanover Square," describes the new gowns. "Heaven help the big fat women," she added. "With a skin tight skirt reaching up to her shoulder blades, no (sign of hips or waist, and the rest of her body sq nee zed up where her chest ought to be, and a wide brimmed hat lopping down over her ears wow!" KANSAS BOARD REFUSES TO INCORPORATE BILLY SUNDAY The state charter board of Topeka, Kansas, has just refused to grant a charter to the "Billy Sunday corpo ration" of Wichita. The applicants proposed to organize with a capital of f 10,000, and finance Sunday in a series of revival meetings. The in corporators were to profit from the contributions. The board held this was not a religious corporation. Takes Dig at Sunday Following the magazine article showing that the average pay of ministers In the I'nlted States Is less than $000 per year comes the an nouncement that Billy Suuday, the evangelist. Is recuperating at his Hood River ranch. About the only recuperation the $t00 man gets Is picking hops to eke out his scanty pay, and there are those who will say that the growth of the new pro fession with high priced Hood River ranches as au Incident Is partly re sponsible for the $000 rate.
