Raising Hons In AIasIsn.

The hop-cultivators of the Pacific
coast are turning their attention to
Alaska. The season is believed to be
long enough for the raising of crops,
since the sun shines with almost trop-
ical heat during the brief summer.
Land can be had almost for the asking,
and labor is dirt cheap" The soil re-
quires very little preparation for plant
ing. The hops could be gathered at the
rate of - cents II basket, or onc-half
the rate paid the pickcrs of Oregon and
Washington. Freightagc in sailing YES
sells is Il trifling item. Making these
estimates syndicate of Portland hop
dealers have purchased n tract Of land
near Fort Wrangle and will enter upon
the enterprise at once. They talk con-
fidcntly of Alaska becoming our future
hop market.

They would look exquisite made into

by fine silk thread covering the body

we poor folks who are made ridiculous
by such Il style look around for some
thing more becoming. And Dame
Fashion was very lcnic mt this time. She
forcsaw the terrible consequences that
would cnsuc if all women should follow
this style, and SO she added some others
that arc so graceful and pretty that al,
most anyone can adopt them. The rib

rietics that it can DC made to suit
almost any coiffure. Here is new

the head, then divide it in two.
Now each of these portions must be
made into wide puifs, one under the
other and narrowing as they near the,
neck. The very ends cluster in small
curls at the bottom of the couture, and
if you can manage to have another curl,
ut the top, the effect will be prettier
still. Then from out the soft curls on
your forehead comes the narrow band.
of ribbon which goes around straight,
and is fastened into the puffs at the
back. at the right side is ny-away
bow, which adds sufficient piquancy to
the arrangement Another Greek stylo
is maze by extra heavy, smooth coils
around the head, and tho center, of
course, extends outward from the head
to some extent. Through this n twist
cd pin, the bigger the better, is stuck.
The front hair is curlcd backward as
far as the coil. Though the coil is firm
and tight, yet the hair must first be
gathered very loosely, even so loosely
as to fall lightly over the tips of the
cars.
Our climate is getting so variable
that in winter we darcn't put away our
summer garments altogether, and in
summer our winter ones are often very
comfortable. 1t is even worse these
spring days. In the morning we get up
shivcring and don something warm and
comfortable. About three or four
hours aftcrward, when the sun has
been shining strong and full, we have
to change our gown in Il great hurry,
and there is the greatest incongruity,
often, between the attire of different

Rivers and Harbors Will Be Sighted,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Members of
the house committee on rivers and har.
bors say it is safe to assume that the
river and harbor bill will be consider
ably less than that of the last congress
and that no new Improvements will be
recommended unless they are of ex.
ceptional merit. Friends of the plan to
afford relief to the great wheat growing
regions of the far Northwest by the con
struction of canal ora ship railway
around the dalles on the Columbia river
and thus afford water transportation
to the Pacific ocean have abandoned
these more costly projects and will
endeavor to have less expensive work of
improvement authorized by congress.
Representative Herman of Oregon tc-
day introduced bill having this end in
view: It appropriates $414. 900 for the
construction of a portagerailwpy around
the dal!es. The ship railway proje ct
involves an appropriation of So, 500, 900
and that for the canal and locks So 5OO,.
600, Herman said today the plan pro-
posed would give temporary relief and
that the works constructed could be
utilized whenever the ship railway or
canal was approved by congress.

Here's n Remarkable Will.

WHEELING. Jan. 15.-The will of the
late Michael Reilly, millionaire distiller
and wholesale grocer, was probated in
this city and is one of the most remark
able efforts to spite living heirs ever
recorded. The will leaves all the prop
erty, valued at 81, 500, 900 to Bishop J.
J. Kahn and Monsignor Sullivan, of the
Catholic church, to hold in trust until
the heirs now living are dead, when the
property is to be divided among their
heirs The will also directs that nothing
whatever is to be given to the church or
to benevolence. Reilly had six children,
but was estranged from all of them.
They will contest the will.

of the state only perhaps one third of
the threshing done, the blowing only
half finished, and shortage of help for
the early coming spring. Last season
the harvest was most bounteous, but
the laborers, the gamers of this bounti-
full harves were few. Thousands of
bushels of wheat and oats were lost in
North Dakota, because of the lack of
help to garner it in. Even now the
threshers are still at work among the
shocks of wheat, and still there is
great deal of wheat and oats in the
stack which must be threshed in the
spring. To do this threshing, blowing
and seeding the farmers will require
additional help as early as the fifteenth
of March, and for the remainder of the
season. The labor markets of large
eastern cities are at all times depressed;
the SUPPLY is greater there than the de-
mand. Here among the great fields of
the beautiful golden wheat the
supply is not equal to the de
