(ood liver (Slacier. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1902. " The irood roads convention held in Portland last week was well attended and it i hoped that it will be productive of good results. A state organization was formed, with Judge Scott of Salem as president, with the purpose of keep ing the question before the people until they realize the importance of the move ment There is no question which more vitally affects the rural population of the country today than that of good roads, and none in which less interest is manifested by those most affected. t is one of the anomalies of human .nature that the average resident will discourse for hours upon trusts and oth er questions by which they are but very lightly affected, but will struggle through the mud with less than would make a half load on good roads, without complaint and with no idea of attempt ing to improve the situation. Of course the subject of good roads is a big ques tion and everything cannot be accom plished at once, but a start could and Should be made in every community, and by constantly adding thereto a de cided change for the better would soon be apparent on our country roads. As to the means of doing 'this, of course there would have to be some radical changes in the present road laws, and as a start in the right direction, if the property road tax, which is'now collected by each property owner going out upon the highway and visiting for a few hours with his neighbors, wera collected in cash and the proceeds applied to the construction of a permanentpiece of road in some of the numerous "bad places" in each district, the public as well as the property owners would be the gainers thereby. The state organi sation should be' followed by local or ganizations .throughout the state, and every effort used to bring about an im provement in our present system of road making. It seems that there was a misunder standing among growers generally re garding the approximation prizes offered by Seattle and Portland merchants, and that they did not represent separate awards as many thought, but were only an offer to purchase the fruit receiving certain specified awards in the competi tion, at the prices mentioned, and if a grower did not wish to sell for the price offered it did not prevent his receiving the diploma for the class on which the offer was made. Crapper Croppings. Old Jack Frost made his appearance in parts of this neighborhood lust week for the first time this fall, but did no damage to speak of except to bite a few - squasn ana tomato vi-ies ana a tew late beans. Miss Annie Eadleman returned last Friday from the Willlamette valley where she has been picking bops for liie past rour weeKs. Mr. Fried ley and son Harold returned from Sherman county on Saturday. H. K. Williams has finished picking his apples. They turned out very poor ly jon account or Having improper care through the summer. A few of our young people attended tbe dance at Warren Miller's lust Sat urday ulght. They retorted a flue time. There will be another dance there on Friday night, the 24tb. Every body invited. Mr. Ikky. Belmont News. (Crowded out of last week's Issue.) While at work on Alfred Boorman's house last Monday 0. D. Rea, Perry Be- lieu and W. i,. bherrill narrowly escaped serious injury. They were on a scaffold 12 feet from the ground when it sudden ly gave way and spilled them on the ground below. With the exception of Mr. Rea, who happened to have his nana on a ladder to which he was able to .cling, the men fell heavily and both were considerably bruised and stiffened up but, are fortunate that it was no worse. The ladies' aid society and Enworth League will give a Hallowe'en social at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. II. N'ick- elsen. Rev. U. R. Archer preached here last sunaay. Howard Hoover, who has been staying at tne home ol . U. Church, started Saturday evening for his homo in Elk City, Oklahoma. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Isenberg spent Saturday night and Sunday with his parents, Mr. and Airs. M. I'. Isenberg. The progressive and diligent people of Belmont have added much to the ap pearance and comfort of the Methodist parsonage- by painting ad repairing tne enure;- premises and adding many other improvements. Losses by Recent Fires. Oregon Tlmberman. A fuller investigation of tbe damage done to the standing timber in Wash ington and Oregon by the recent tire, allows a larger amount of green tim ber killed than was at first supiKined. Oregon baa suffered much less than Washington, but bus suffered in Clacka mas aud Multuomah counties. In Clarke county, Washington, tbe fire traversed townships 3, 4 and 5 north, and 4 east. In Skamania, township 3 north, 6, 6 and 7 east; 4 north.5,6,7 and part of 8 east. In Cowlitg county ten sec tions on . the Coweeman river were traversed by the fire. In Chehalis eouuty. Washington the fire started in section 10, and swept in a westerly and southwesterly direction into sections 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 in township 19,9 to ih-iu, ana nan inrough u, to liumptu llps river, a distance of twelve to fifteen miles, embracing an area of about thir ty thousand acres, with an average stand of 40,000 feet per acre. It is esti mated that a billion feet on Grav's Harbor has been injured. Compara tively nine oi mis tuuoer w ill be a to tal !os, as logging roads will be pushed Into the turned sections and if logged within three or four vears the bulk will be saved. It Is difficult to arrive at anything like a true estimate of the damage indicted oil Clarke, Cnwliti and Skamania counties. Reliable cruis ers place the damage at from two to three billion feet. It must be realized in making an estimate of this oh s rac ier, however, the difficulty which stir- rounds it, owing to the many dirtlereni owner and the exact damage inflicted on earn tract. Tbe recent fires have demonstrated that the timber of Oregon and Wash ington will burn when conditions are favorable, and unlem adequate la re eoactea, wdicd win have a tend ency to check careless and irresponsi ble individuals from setting out nrea, we may look forward to a repetition oi the recent conflagrations. There is neither sense nor Justice in attempting to disguise these self-apparent facts, and if tbe owners of timber lands aud tbe people of Oregon and Washington In general, will awaken to a realization of these dangers, and pass remedial laws, the lesson learned by the 1902 fires will not have been too dearly bought. NOTES OF THE MODES. B maimer WtJtrin fv Oataoar Wear -Haw I4aa la the leaaoa'a Emerald-green hat trimmings, veils, bodice, belt and collar accessories and parasols are everywhere seen, and silk petticoats and gloves of tbe same col or, have recently appeared. Mercerized trimmer cheviots are among the popular fabrics for general wear on the beach or in the mountains. They are to be found in pure while and a uumber of delicate colors, says the New York Post. Very few stiff linen collar or starched stock matching the bodice' are worn with the Gibson and other popular shirt waist of the summer. Instead of theie are numerous neck ties, bauds, and stocks of embroidered lawn, transparent net, lace aud ba tiste, or those of sheer India mull in set with fine linen medallions or bor dered with bands of insertion joined with rows of brior stitching. Neck scarfs of white crepe de chine are laid in tiny folds arouud the transparent net throat band, and finished at the top with a small turn-over collar of embroidery finished In the corner with French knot in either blue, black or cherry red. A sty libh gown worn at a fashionable summer resort is mad of dotted silk warp voile with Irish lace medallions introduced vertically on the very deep graduated skirt flounce. The high yoke is of the lac laid over pink chif fon, with matching uudersleeves. A full blouse front is shirred to this yoke, and corresponding with it is a narrow hip yoke of lac to which the skirt is deftly shirred. This yoke extends up on the waist just enough to form a small girdle pointed at the top. Among the new green gowns are those made of pineapple gauze, et aiuine, pongee, nun's veiling, French chumbray, taffeta, grenadine and satin foulard. A green linen batiste dress has the skirt strapped with the goods down each seam. These strappings are strapped with' white, and extend from the belt down to skirt-hem, each graduated hem being carried over the flounce. The blouse is laid in narrow tucks with piped strappings of the linen extending from the neck and shoulders in varied lengths, and set about an Inch apart. Eaoh strap is pointed at its lower edge, and the en tire effect is that of a yoke with lines of the fine tucking showing between. The sleeves are in bishop style with a turn-back cuff of embroidery match ing. the collar and pointed girdle. Stem-green crepe de Chine gowns sent from French shops are decorated with insertion band and motifs of black CbauUIIr lace. To be worn With these gowns are black lace picture hats made up over green Ittlle, and very graceful Alexandra berthas of crej de Chine. The bertha is trimmed with accordion-plaited frills of green mousseline de soie, borderd with in crustations of the lac, and the plait ed ends are a yard and a quarter in length, banded at Intervals with the mousseline frills set horizontally around the plaited scarfs. Very mnny of the ne west summer gowns have tiny pelerines or fichus of matching fabric, and others of white guipure or blnok point de Gene lace, are very attractive, being delicately lined with either white, cameo-pink, sea-green, or primrose-yellow chiffon, and finished at the edges of both cape and scarf ends, with a band of delicately colored silk embroidery in Persian effects. DECLINE OF THEAPR0N. Aa Artlale af raamiala Apparal Which la Row Bat Lfttl Win la Pablle. It is about 40 years since th popu larity of the apron began to wane. At that time no woman's wardrobe was complete without an assortment of aprons for all sorts of occasions. A black silk apron was the acute of elegance and propriety, and any non descript gown could, by the addition of the black silk apron, trimmed with a few rows of black velvet ribbon, be dignified and adorned to the utter sat isfaction of th wearer, says Wom an's Home Companion. An apron had rather a wide field of usefulness when you consider that it not only preserved and embellished a new gown, but it also concealed the defects, and added dignity to an old one. An apron was slways en regie. The best dress was kept clean by its use, and the daintiness of it repre sented all the feminine traits. It was a regular banner of the home. To its stringB the children were tied. "Tied to his mother's apron strings!" Contemptuous expression of subor dination! And yet so much sentiment attached to it! Whoever was tied to his mother's apron strings was com paratively safe was in his mother's lead. Mother's apron! The baby was rolled in it. Childish tears were dried with it. Th little boys used it strings for reins, and tbe little girls played princess and trailed its ampl folds behind them, real ladies in wait ing to an imaginary queen. Those were ante-new-woman days. Knitting and needlework wera fem inine occupations. It was previous to the day of higher education for wom en. It may sound far-fetched to say that home sentiment waned with the decline of the apron. Th latter may not have been the eanse, but it certain ly kept pace with it. I have the writ ten statement of a man to the effect that a snow-whit apron tied neatly about a trim waist had power to at tack th znasculin heart at its most vulnerable point. After that say there is no sentiment about an apron! But man cheriihes sentiment shove thing of which the feminine mind ha tu conception, and his heart ha beer many times ensnared in the muslin bow that tied at the back of his sweet heart's waist this banner of th bom.
