Tho over glorious Fourth of July waH woll enjoyed in l'ortlaud, in Rpito of tho damp weathor. Tho committees got up a good colobration for tho money and dosorvo a good deal of crodit for their oxcollout work in this respect. It was a happy thought to Hocuro tho assistance of tho Chiiioso and to Induce them to dlHplay their "dragon," whloh of Itsolf, wuh worth waiting a considerable tlmo to see. Colored men and women ought to stand by each other in a buslnoHH way whenever an occasion offers, not to ox hllitt a narrow race prejudice, but to help one another out with patronage whenever it can bo dono with mutual advantage. Tills course would ease tho burdens of many a colored man and woman, and help to make their lives blighter. Now if everybody will help, tho sue cess of tho street fair and carnival in September will bo assured. Tho col ored population of l'ortlaud will no doubt contribute their share to inako this a great and enjoyable affair, and thoir capability to do this ought not to bo overlooked by tho committees who hum charge of tho business. A long felt want iu l'ortlaud has been supplied to tho satisfaction and moil the delight of tiio patroui of pub llu eating places by tho opening of Alisky's Winter Gordon on Thiid nud Morrison streets.

Nohiug equal to itjn appoint ments and excellence of the cuisine and management has appealed before in Portland; hud considering tho superb character of tho place and tho tofrosh incuts it furnishes, tho prices charged aro astonishingly low. Mr. Allsky was extremely fortunate iu scouring us manager of tills palatial resort Col. J. F.

After an hour or so of restlessness, however, these means were discarded, and all thoughts of sleep abandoned for tho night. Fish are great gluttons.

The melting snows on the summits of tho lofty mountains rushing downward with resistless force In the spring form the headwaters of our mighty rivers. Today the tourist views these cata racts nud waterfalls amid scenes of primeval graudcur nnd wllducss. Iu the to-morrow of Western progress the tourist may sec these mighty forces chained and harnessed, moving the wheels of Industry nud promoting the good of new commonwealths. It Is only In tho East that anything like sub stantial utilization of tho water powers Is nppareut. Iu tho West there arc but fow rivers which do not offer a cheap nnd practical water supply. Hut tiio far West Is almost nu unknown coun try yet, and capital, except In a fow Isolated cases, has Invested llttlo In en terprises of this sort. Tho first utiliza tion of thlH vast water supply for power has almost invariably been mado by mining corporations, but this repre sents only an Infinitesimal portion of the latent forces. A fow Western cities liko Minneapolis, St. Paul, Great Falls and Spokane havo harnessed their rivers and aro forging to the front The dweller In the West, Inhaling the ozoulc atmosphere of that glorious region, is naturally an optimist. He cannot help It But his optimism Is Jus titled by the past records of that region, which reveal no halting In Its onward progress. Ho travels on the finest rail roads, he Uvea amid scenes of the great est and grandest natural beauty; bo views tho settlement aud growth of- new territories. In fact, all that he sees and hears aud breathes tend to make him optimistic. Therefore to him tho vision readily comes of a transforma tion In this. He sees, in a futuro not distant, a new field for his efforts. All this power, now wasted and valueless, will bo mado useful and will materially conduce to tho wealth of thousands of new citizens. The Deschutes Falls, thirty miles west of Prluevllle, Ore., nro wildly beautiful, though tho 'sheer fall docs not compare with that of many other Western cataracts. A peculiarity of tho Deschutes Hlvei- Is tho very slight year ly variation of only sixteen inches In Its height. Iu some places tho variation Is not more than ten inches. Cyrus C. Ilahb, of the United States Geological Survey, gives as the accepted explana tion of this that tho whiter snow of tho Cascade Mountains, which supplies tho water of this river, owing to tho pe culiar formation of the soil, percolates Into the ground, nud Inter finds Its way Into the river through springs. Italnbow Falls are six miles below Great Falls and three miles below Ulack Eagle Falls, on tho head waters of tho Missouri Iu Montana.

DAINTY NEW DRESSES USE OF HEAVY LACES IS STILL IN FAVOR. Accepted Yoke Denlizn Hold Tliolr Popularity Bummer Gown Mostly of Familiar Materials Made Up to Put a Novel Bide Outside. New Vork correspondence! O far as fashion nre concerned, summer tins come on with a rush. Already the resort to summery dresses hns taken on a July swing. July and August nre the months for sum mer toggery, though there may be quite as much call for It during most of September. The new dresses nre very dainty, and though fluff and feath ery frill nro favorite features, there are end less varieties of gowns built for simplicity. The use of heavy laces, the tendency to princess effects and-the appreciation of washablcncss as a charm in the summer dress all tend to make for simplicity in outline. Cluny lace In all grades and torchon, which Is, after all, a phnso of cluny, and various laces that till they appear under fanciful new names arc as sociated with curtains and tidies, are LIGHT FABRICS FOK much used Hat cither Inserted or applied on summer frocks of prints, lawns and lightweight linens. A dainty yoke made ot a pnir of insertions over the shoulders and ono across between these two, with a fourth ndded for collar may bo the only elaboration of a white lnwu except cuffs of Ince to match. When tho two shoul der Insertions extend to the bust line aud tho cross piece Is Ince of the same width but not nearly so deep, the lawn that np- pears between tho side pieces is prettily hand tucked. Tins Is one of tho dainty models of the season's simplicity, one on which may bo rung many changes by us ing tho same materials. All the accepted yoke designs hold their favor. A pretty notion Is to nllow tho lace of the yoke to seem to extend In nu Insertion down the top of tho sleeve, as In the gown of the Initial picture, which wn8 turquolso bliK grenadine over cream surah. The under side ot such a sleeve msy be plain, or it may be broken by a series of horizontal Insertions, or It may be entirely a series ot horizontal inser tions except for au under cap deep enough to allow for securing the protec tor. The fancy continues for a bow or rosette ou the bust at the left. The bow or rosette there Is a tendency to spread It Into a bow Is usually of black velvet, though with otherwise "all white" gowus delicate colors In chiffon or liberty aro used, and the frequent choice of rose be gins to make that shade marked among the favorites. A sash to match, either wound and with ends tucked under, or wltu scarf ends atloat, is often knotted at side or back. Necklaces of beads or of chain with ends weighted with larger beads or with crystal balls are knotted In frout, the ends hanging loose. This Idea Is carried out in a band ot black YlTtt, ofua with ends Hoped with metal S7r?!3 i I ws. IV IN GOWNS OF LACE AND CINQIIAM ALIKE FOIt SIMPLE OUTLINES. or hung with crystal balls. T! rlbboir passes through a clasp or Is knotted. It may be drawn close to the throat or hang to the bust. Sometimes the velvet drawn close about tho bare thront disappears under tho edges of a jeweled buckle at the back. A big majority of all the summer dresbes is composed of familiar materials so ninile up ns to put n novel side outside, rather than of new fabrics. There Is, however, a ci op of this season's stuffs, and It Is as big nnd attractive ns sum mer ordinarily brings. Linen tnwn is n much fvored newcomer. It fs to be had iu all tho stylish shades, hns a very pret ty silken finish, and Is much used over silk and lawn. Thru tho mercerized fab ric are a host In themselves. Glnghauw and lawns come In n great deal for this sllk-llko treotment, nnd tho two-tone weaves nre handsome counterfeiting. Consideration of the materials of tho dresses sketched here will help to an un derstanding of what stylish women aro adopting. First In the group of four gowns Is a blue linen lawn on a lawn foundation of tho same color. All-over embroidery and Insertion appeared In yoke and collar, and pale blue satin sup plied the belt. Next this Is a dress of pink, green and white madras finished with stitched bands of white pique held by pink boue buttons. A white lace col lar, Inner sleeves of Insertion nnd white lawn and nv bodice belt of white lawn were other details. An original comblna- tlon of materials appeared In tho next model. The -skirt nnd under portion ot the sleeves were white foulard figured In bright crimson. The rest except a white silk yoke and collar, was red figured foulard.

Willie It Is still n bit early to take up the iio-collnr bodice for outdoor wear, it is moving toward popularity. It Is well established for dressy gowns and houso frocks, nnd doubtless a few venturesome women will display the fashlou on the street. Just now and until the cut lie conies more general It Is desirable to moderate It a bit In time all will t come accustomed to the new contour and to Judging correctly beauty displayed.
