NO matter how far afield feminine
fashions may wander, periodically
there Is a turning back to the
classic tendencies, and one of these re
currences, after a longr vogue of extreme
frivolities. Is Just now very noticeable.
The classic lines are the distinguishing
feaures of the smartest gowns and coats
and the new girdles and neckpieces show
the same tendency.
Now the classic coiffure Is heralded as
the correct thing, and the gold band
wound about the head In various inter
pretations of Vie old Grecian mode Is
rapidly gaining favor. Local merchants
are ordering immense quantities of gold
bands and ribbons in various widths, in
anticipation of the big demand, and ex
pect unprecedented sales of this here
tofore slow-selling material.
That the gold ribbon will be used In
fashions never dreamed of by the classic
Grecian maids and that there will be
ribbons of other tints employed In the
new coiffure goes without saying. The
woman of the present time is accustomed
to taking, all manner of Individual liber
ties with Dame Fashion's edicts and In
many a smart coiffure there will be only
a hint of the classic mode given out
from the high places- as the correct
thing. The iOth century maiden adopts
just so much of the prevailing fashion In
any detail of her toilette, as may be
most becoming to her; the rest she ar
ranges to her taste and with such In
novations and changes as will best en
hance her own Individual charms.
Some of the modern interpretations of
tfie old classic coiffure are shown In the
accompanying pictures. No. 1 -shows the
hair djne loosely and piled high on the
crown of the head, with the broad gold
band wound twice about the coiffure Jn
such fashion as to hold firm and support
the loose mass.
A different Interpretation is shown In
No. 2, a quaint touch being given to, a
modern conventional coiffure by the
loosely-wound bands.
Some of the frivolous lengths to which
the gold band craze will be carried, are
sugeested in No. 3, In which 'the band
Is run loosely through the coiffure and
terminates high up and a little at the
left, in a saucy, many-looped bow that
nestles among the fluffy masses of the
pompadour. In this style, ribbons of
other tints will be popular. It Is said.
A back view, of charming, classic ef
fect, yet having the modern "pooh-pooh
puff" much In evidence, is shown In No.
4. For the maid who possesses masses
of dark, or richly-colored hair, nothing
could be more charming than this style
of coiffure, particularly since one Is at
liberty to utilize any fashion one pleases
In framing the face, and curls are not
barred. The girl to whom a severe part
down the middle of the forehead Is be
coming, will fin dit equally as effective
as the one who prefers her locks brushed
back from her forehead, and if one wishes
to dress the hair low at the back, the
band can be utilized effectively tn empha
sizing the low coiffure.
A front view of another method of
winding the band about the head is
shown in No. 5, this being the preferred
method where the band - goes twice
around the coiffure. When a broader .
band Is used, it Is carried straight across
the head, downward and backward.
The sold banding comes in widths vary
ing from the tiniest strip to breadths
from two to " three inches wide. The
bands are of perfectly . plain gilt ribbon.
in very elaborate embroidered patterns.
and In every intervening degree.
SEEKING STATE AID IN CLEARING
STUMPS FROM LOGGED-OFF LANDS
Convention at Everett Takes Up Problem, Solution of Which Means Added
Wealth and Population in Northwest.
BY E. O. ADAMS.
EVERETT. Wash., July 18. (Special.)
The stump is our great Coast
problem.; Elmer E. Johnston is the
man who has set afloat a movement that
bids fair to result In as great indus
trial possibilities as that of Irrigation.
As secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, he has 'been active in urging
Eastern people to. come to the Sound
country, but discovered what every one
along the entire Coast must soon dis
cover, that no further great Influx of
new comers Is possible unless the cut
off areas are opened for settlement. Most
of this stump land is held at high figures
and what with the added cost of clear
ing It by 'hand, the expense of getting a
cleared farm is practically prohibitive.
To call together all those who could
throw any light upon the practical solu
tion of this problem which blocks any
further extensive colonization movements
was the.-pnrpose of this first convention.
Governor Mead, in his address of wel
come to the large convention, made up
of representatives from the Coast States
and Canada, said he was in hearty ac1
cord with this project and favored the
enactment of laws whereby the state
could begin clearing its own lands as
well as co-operating with local interests.
He saw no legal reason why the state
should not engage in the promotion of
land clearing, as it now does In the pro
motion of the flsh industry.
Senator Files reported that the Seen-,
tary of Agriculture had taken readily to
the request that the Government lay
hold of this matter and begin at once ait
experimental department to gather data
for the most approved methods of aiding
the states of Washington and Oregon iit
the clearing of their vast areas economi
cally. Along with the building of good
highways, the demonstration of how the
rich lands of these great states may be
come productive at reasonable expense
was a movement of vast consequences
to these commonwealths.
Although Oregon has not reached the
point where her valuable agricultural
lands are In such active demand as in
Washington, the time ie not far distant
when for dairy purposes her once tim
bered lands will be in as active demand.
Reference was made to the little coun
try of Denmark and Its remarkabl?
record of shipping t,o.000.000 In farm
Broducts to European markets, and the
much greater possibility of this rich and
even-tempered country. If, said one
speaker, we can produce our own butter
and eggs and not be dependent upon the
Mississippi Valley, then will our rea?
prosperity begin. As a dairy country
this coast cannot be excelled and - our
milk producers now receive 25 per cent
higher price for their product than the
farmers of the Middle West.
Among the various plans proposed was
the use of convict labor in clearing land.
'Put the man at digging stumps who
breaks into the county Jail in order to
get free board and lodging," said Sena
tor Paulhamus. He further urged the
appropriation of sufficient funds to en-J
aoie Tne sxate to operate at tease a aozeu
donkey engines and skilled crews to man
them.
There could be no risk to the state, he
urged, for the expense of clearing, the
land would be more than offset by the
added value put upon the land. From
the various reports upon the expense
per acre for clearing land the cost ran
from $35 to $150.
On Its experimental farm at Puyallup
the Mate had used the donkey engine
and powder and found that It had
cleared 13 acres for $1000.
L. F. Hawley. of the United States For
estry Department, said, among other
things, that the Government had cleared
some 30.000 acres of land in the South and
that the by-products, turpentine, tar and
charcoal had paid the cost of clearing. He
stated that he was authorised to say that
his department was ready to undertake a
similar demonstration on this Coast, and
believed that the fir stump, rich in sap,
would yield enough of turpentine, resin.
tar, light oils and charcoal to meet the
cost of uprooting it.
Another paper urged that, while Uncle
Sam could assist in a demonstrative way.
yet the real brunt of the actual work
must be done by the county, town or lo
cally interested parties.
If clearing was done by the county, he
would nave the county board issue certln
cates to meet the expense, and that these
certificates should bs accepted .by the
county ror run value In payment of taxes.
When a man's land Is cleared by the
state or county mere should be charged
against it the cost of the same, to be
paid In taxes, the same as city assess
ments for street improvements. ' The
question of Government funds or Eastern
capital to equip these enterprises was
discussed, but it was generally agreed
that what this Coast most needs is men
who will actively lay hold of the work.
There is money enough In the country
already.
Harry Thompson, another Government
expert, explained that the department
was not only ready to undertake this
problem, but also to offer suggestions as
to what lands could profitably be cleared
and what methods could best be used. It
seemed to be generally agreed that the
needed Ingenuity, science and capital was
not far to find, and. that when once this
movement was under way far-reaching
operations would follow rapidly.
Perhaps the best balanced discussion
offered was that which presented the plan
of using a donkey engine, equipped with
a portable saw, with -which much valuable
lumber could be- saved. Js. portable re
tort, whereby the stumps, rich in by
products, could be distilled on the field,
completed the equipment. The uee of
powder was agreed to be a necessity.
Several gentlemen from Victoria, B. C,
added a number of valuable- features to
the discussion. Among these were the
furnishing of powder by the Dominion
government at cost, $5.26 for 50 pounds,
and the probable furnishing of a power
ful explosive, now used In Russia, at 5
cents a pound. Another speaker explained
how his government had long ago engaged
in the reclamation of ewamp lands and
was now assisting In irrigation projects,
and that the clearing of logged-off lands
was but a natural step- for his govern
ment to take.
The University of Washington sent an
able- representative to present . a paper
entitled, "The Chemical- Utilization of
Underbrush." He declared that an acre
of cedar underbrush would yleld as high
as $300 worth of products, such as vola
tile' oils, camphor, alcohol and medicinal
agents. Young fir, he asserted, --would
yield nearly as good returns as cedar,
and that the cost of distillation was com
paratively low. Even the Oregon grape
was well worth saving ' and putting
through the retort, for it yielded valuable
returns from Its alkaloid products.
The Washington State University is co
operating heartily In every way to aid In
working -out anything along this line
submitted for its investigation. .
While the convention was thrown open
for free interchange of ideas, a number
of valuable points were made. One man
claimed that the use of the gasoline en
gine operating a blower burned out
stumps cheaper than by any other pro
cess. Another that a stump-puller made
In Victoria.. B. C, was much more eco
nomical than the donkey engine: while
another had experimented with chemicals,
and believed that the economical solution
of the problem lay In the use of salt
peter or some other inflammable agent.
The use of chemicals so far as expe
riences were reported, did not seem, how
ever, to meet with favor.
There was practically agreement upon
the necessity of co-operative ' action,
either along state, county or- stock com
pany lines, as one man could not afford
to equip himself with the necessary ap
paratus; the donkey engine and a mov
able retort. It was also agreed that the
state should aid this movement by fur
nishing explosives at cost. -
A permanent organization to1 be known .
as the Washington Logged-Olt Hands As
sociation was formed, with Joel Shoe
maker, of Seattle, as president and El
mer B. Johnston, of Everett, as sec
retary.
Prizes amounting to several hundred
dollars were contributed by the Post-In-
telligencer, and several enthusiastic men
to be awarded to those offering the best,
detailed plans for clearing land during
the coming year.
It is confidently expected that from this
gathering there will result a widespread
movement which will add large areas of
producing - lands to these ..states. Al
though Oregon has greater areas of val
uable farm lands not yet used to their
full productive capacity, yet the day Is
at hand when our old cut-off forest lands
should be givln way to pastures, fruit
and nut orchards. The man who makes
two blades of grass grow where there
Is now but one Is not so much a bene
factor of his race as he who makes
waste land yield two blades of grass
where before It yielded none.
By all means let Oregon hold a sim
ilar convention and push the wheels of
progress up, to where they - rightfully
should be. - -
KAISER'S FINISH IS NEAR
Medieval Prophet's Prediction Is
Published in Munich.
. MUNICH. July 18. CSpeclaL) Dire
disasters are tn store for the Kaier if
the prophets of old axe to be believed.
Attention has just been drawn in a Munich
paper to prophecy made in the 13th century,
by the monk Hermann concerning the
future of the fatherland. His work writ
ten in Latin and entitled "Vlatlclnlum
Lehnlnsense" contains forecasts of the
battle of Jena and of the reconstltutlon of
Germany in 1814. He also foretells the
downfall of the Hohenzollern dynasty,
making the present Emperor the last of
bis line.
In verses 93 and 94 of the Latin manu
script it is written : "At last the scepter
Is In the hands of him who will be the
last of the royal race. Israel attempts
an execrable crime that death can ex
plate." The downfall of Germany Is said to
be coming in 1913.

IN a letteT to s. friend in the city, a.
Portland woman who is spending the
Summer at the beach, gives a graphic
description of an adventure that befell
her last week. The letter follows:
SEASIDE. Or., July 15. Let me tell
you something that may happen when
you haven't pot a gun. You know my
foolhardy bravery well, It's a thing of
the past Now for the story. The dog
had been very uneasy the last coupls
of nights, and I had quite a time with
her. I thought maybe the house was
too warm, so took her Into the tent,
as I was worn out and, overheated, too,
from so much tossing, and I thought we
could e;et lumt sleep there. Well, she
refused to lie down. Towards morning
I put her into the house and locked it.
t mnnitfi-Ml to iret a little sleep, but was
completely done up next day. So I
thought I'd lock the deg In the house
next night last night and get some
rest. I went into tne tent ana aroppea
risrht off to sleep, and slept like a top,
when suddenly I was awakened I
guess it was aDout a o ciocn oy .
funny noise, which kept coming nearer
and nearer to the tent.
Well, like a hog wallowing In the
grass, I listened a while, and all was
aulet. Then it commenced a(cain. I
thought it was a dog or cat, and was
just ready to chase it away, when a
form raised up by the screen which
stands at tlie entrance of the tent. I
could hardly oelieve my eyes. There
he crouched, listening, moving slowly,
slowly nearer. Then re'd stop and
listen, and then come nearer, nearer, oh
so quietly, men ne peaKea around tne

screen to see if I were asleep, and I
thought, well he will move on when he
sees the bed is occupied, though I
was afraid because he moved so
stealthily.
Then he looked at me an eternity. It
seemed, and I let on I was asleep, and
then my God! he came near the bed.
I was almost rigid. But I gathered all
my strength and let out an unearthly
yell. With that he turned and fled. I
jumped up and ran to the house, and
as I ran I saw him going down - the
path. I screamed again, as I was afraid
he might follow, and then locked my
self In with trunks in rront of each
door. And then I went to bed and
shook.
If I had had a gun I would have fired
as sure as I am alive; but a gun ex
ploded here on the porch last year,
and, while K shot all my clothes to
pieces, nobody was hurt; yet I didn't
feel like bringing one, as I thought
we were perfectly safe down here, any
way. I wired my brother to come down
right away and bring a pistol, and
then I went to our natural protector,
the Town Marshal. I wanted to tell
him about this, of course, and borrow
a pistol till my- brother comes. While
I have several offers to sleep at
friends' houses, still, I want to fix that
fellow if he ever comes again, and I
want to attend to it here on the spot.
Why, he may come in the daytime,
knowing, evidently, that I'm alone.
Well, the Marsha! was at the depot,
and an old lady asked me what I want
ed. I told her. and she said: "Well,
they all come to him with their trou
bles." And that's all the satisfaction I
got. But I got mad and I said: "Well,
isn't that what a marshal is for, to help
in a case like this?". So she told me to
call again, and then watch me, if he is
of the same caliber as his mamma.
I believe I could go right up and put
my hand on the guilty man. But you
know It's pretty tough if you get the
wrone person, and I may be mistaken,
though I have very good evidence.
Mind you, not a neighbor heard my
yell. He never came near the house,
else the dog would have barked.
Nothing like this has ever happened
since we've been down eight or nine
years and it's some dirty new-comer,
who doesn't know Seaside "etiquette.
