The seasons shirt Waists.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
The choice in shirt waists this season is
very great, and it depends entirely upon
what occasions you wish to wear them in
determining upon the kind of material that
is best Black satin and black taffeta waists
are both fashionable for certain purposes,
and these have tucked fronts and Jokes at
the back, cut in double points. Very stylish
waists are made of black silk crossed with
rich Roman stripes; and a fad with very
fashionable young women who copy French
styles soon as they appear is the wear
ing of handsome shirt waists OF satin bro
cade with tailor-made cloth skirts. Some
of the black tafteta silk waists are cut DOWN
in a little rounding curve IN the neck ana
left open down the front to the belt, and
then high-necked gulmpe is worn with tle
waist, with a narrow tucked front fastened
to it, which shows where the blouse opens.
Shepherds checked silks in many pretty
color blendings are much used tor SHIRT
waists. These are trimmed with very hne
tucks and narrow velvet ribbon. Ana near

ton for bedford Rum.
The Independent.

Our Puritan ancestors hardly imagined
that water was either healthful or suffi-
clent beverage, If we may judge from some
paragraphs inltheir letters and diaries. Gov
srnor Bradford bitterly complains of the
hardship of having to drink water, as no
beer or wine was to be had. In 1929 ap-
peal was sent to the Home Company for
ministers, a patent under scale that
their legal status as colonists might be clear
ana stable; and also they want ''yyne plant
erS, wheat, rye, barley and also HOP
rootes." When the answer to this appeal

Deere, " two casks of Malaga and Canarie,"

and for cooking, drinking and all only six
tuns of water The Rev Mr.. Higginson,
the first minister, in writing back a glowing
account of the attractions of the country,
said his health had been benefited by the
fine air. and he added:

and did require such drinks as We're both

One Wood wrote in the New England's
Prospect that the country was well watered,
and with water unlike that to be found In
England:

have done. Those that drink it be as health

Everybody drank cider, which was pro-

sides these there was a "beveridge'' and
swizzle'' made from molasses and water,

universal drink was rum. Ships took corn,

brought back raw sugar and molasses,

The details Of the newly formed Alaska
Traffic Association scheme to stop rate
cutting to Dawson are rapidly taking
shape. A well-attended meeting was held
yesterday afternoon in Barneson & Chill
colts office for the purpose Of receiving
the reports OF the committees appointed
early in the week.
The classification committee reported on
the all-important rate question and an
nounced the scale that VIII probably be
adopted by the association. The larger
boats, with better passenger accommoda-
tons and modern Improvements will be
listed as first-cIass. They will be allowed
10 charge $500 cabin and $3.50 storage from
Seattle 10 Dawson. Steam schooners and
the smat.er ocean boats have been placed
In the second class. Their rates will he
$50 cabin and 500 steerage. The rate to
be charged by sailing vessels in the COM
bine has not yet been decided on. The
rate from Seattle TO st. Michael VIII prob
ably be placed at $50.
In past years it has cost as much to go
TO Tanana, Munook or Circle City a. to
Dawson. The traffic association has about
favor of the points in American territory.
In considering class very little attention
has been paid to sailing vessels and 1t
is probable that the association will drop
them out Of the combine. There are sew
eral reasons for this. The sailing vessels
in order TO get to Dawson early enough
will have to leave here very shortly. Most
OF them will be loaded and on their way
before the association Is in full running
order.
The committee on organization was able
10 report excellent success. The only
company THAI has positively refused to go
In the combine Is the North American
Transportation & Trading Company, OPP
Grating the steamer Roanoke on the ocean
run and well established river fleet on
the Yukon. The company claim that they
are now charging for their best accommo-
dations $2o more than the price set by the
combine. They say they will keep prices
up to the combine standard at least. The
Empire line, operating two large ocean
steamers and the Alaska Commercial
Company of San Francisco, with the st.
Paul and the Portland. have not signed
with the combine. Both companies have
agreed. however. 10 keep prices up to
the rate agreed on.

ing steamers are members of the associa-

me, City OF Columbia, Charles Nelson and
Alliance. Several other companies are
expected to come in during the next week.
Every company Joining the association
will be compelled TO put up a forfeit
bond OF $1,000 as a guarantee that the
rates agreed on will not be cut. A per-
manent secretary will be appointed. who
will be on the watch for rate cutting.
With forfeit of $1,000 at stake t is not
likely that any of the transportation meE

steamers. All cut rate matters will be
referred to board of investigators.
