summer Millinery.

Straw is shown in an infinite variety
OF combinations in summer millinery,
according TO the Milliners' Trade Re-
view, and much of it may compare
for lightneSs, delicacy of coloring and
minutiae of detail with the most com
plicated fiower-petal shapes and those
which are made completely Of tulle or
gauZe. Many of the fancy shapes are
made of paillarSon braids, edged on
one side with three or more tiny
frillings of straw. chosen in as many
shades. Brims have sometimes two
braids on the edge, or the brim is
made OF three separate layers, and
when these are bent upward and waved
the little ruchings with which they
are bordered form, trimming in them
selves. and only need some flowers
exhibiting the same variety of shades
as the straw to complete them, these
being placed either against ,he hrim.
turned up against the crown. or on
the side of the crown itself. Plain
straws are also made with several lay
ers on the brm. the widest being fiat
and the ether slightly full. so as TO
undulate gracefully. A bergere hat
made in this way of plain, fine violet
straw, is trimmed with a vOluminOus
drapery of violet tu!le, on which bands
OF plain straw are sewn every TWO
inches. The straw bands give a GER

DOLLAR SIGNS DEBUT.
The Author of the Familiar Charactt
at Last Discovered.

The Author of the Familiar Character
at Last Discovered.
Some weeks ago Dr. Marcus Baker
Of Washington published in one of the
magazines an account Of a theory
which he has to account for the origin
of the familiar dollar sign, says the
Boston Transcript. This nas long been
in dispute. All sorts OF explanations
have been given, the m IS. common OF
which is that the initials of the United
States are crossed. But there have
been seven or eight other theories to
accot ut for the dollar sign which are
about as good. DR.. Baker, in his re-
searches in the library of the bureau
Of education, came across an old book
entitled "a Compendium of Federal
Arithmetic, designed for the use OF
schools, and especially calculated for
the meridian of the United States,
which was published at Lansingburg,
N. Y. in 1897. It's author was the Rev.
Chauncey Lee of Rutland, Vt. In this
book the author sets forth a system
Of what he calls characteristics by
which one vertical stroke was to des-
ignate the mill, two vertical strokes
the cent, these two crC ssed by one s.
shaped stroke the dime and for the
dollar the sign consisting of the two
verticals with the two curved strokes,
now so familiar, was proposed. At that
time the people Of the country were
just emerging from the use Of pounds,
shillings and pence, where each was
separated by space from the next de-
nomination. 1t accordingly seemed
necessary to Mr.. Lee to have an arbi-
trary mark for each OF the denomina-
tions Of our monetary system. But he
soon found that one character, with the
decimal point, was all that was neces-
sary. and In the latter part OF his own
book all of his elaborate system Of
symbols, except the one intended to
mark the dollar, was found to have
been dropped. DR.. Baker certainly finds
the dollar sign in this old arithmetic,
and he does not find it in use at an
earlier date BY the time Adams arith-
mellC NdS puDlISueu III IoVo the ,! liiDOi
had become well established. He there
fore regards Mr.. Lee as the inventor
and believes the sign to have been abb
solutely arbitrary in its origin. Since
the publication of his paper in one OF
the magazines Dr. Baker has received
many letters on the subject, but none
in which his conclusions are chai-
lenged. He intends. for further veriii-
cation. to make study OF the depart
ment records TO see when the dollar
sign first appeared in the treasury ac-
counts. He also hopes to make more
thorough search Of the old text books
to see if by chance any use of this
sign prior to that of the Rev. Chaun-
cey Lee can be discovered. 1t is GER
tainly interesting to know the origin
of a thing in such constant use as the
dollar sign. DR.. Bakers discoveries
sem likely TO take all the sentiment
out of the matter. but this is the COM
mon result Of modern historical re-
search.

Diners tn Salt Lake.

A new and pleasing feature in travel
through Utah and Colorado to Califor-
mia and the Pacific coast was inaugur-
ated on June l when the Rio Grande
Western Railway began operating its
new dining car service. serving all
meals on all its through trains. This
new service will rob the transcontilen-
tai journey of much of its tedium and
fatigue and will enhance greatly the
popular Rio Grande Western The new
diners are of the finest ever turned out

vice being la carte so that the traveller
may have his coffee and rolls for break

ate and complete as the market can

ries of empire bonnets.

A Few Timely Pointers.

The up-to-date farmer has learned
the wisdom of doing his own thinking,
and in selecting binder or mower to
weigh carefully the actual points OF
superiority and to avoid mere talk
ing" or selling" points. The life"
of a machine depends largely on its
main frame, which should be solid
enough to outwear the working parts
and yet not heavy enough to tear it
self to pieces through its own inertia.
The Deering Ideal Binder has high
rarbon steel frame, hOtriveted at the
Joints. This machine has stood the
most severe tests ever put on binder.
II has cutting apparatus that will cut
any crop that grows; elevators that
will elevate anything it cuts: simple
reel With greater range of adjustment
than any other. operated with a single
lever: the famous Deering Knotter and
Binder which never misses; the only
bundle carrier worthy of the name.
and finally Deering Roller and Ball
Bearings. making it the lightest draft
binder that ever cut a swath.

THE BIG BUFFALO BONDED AGAIN
The DeLamar Mining Co., Ltd, Takes
it up for $500,O00.

The owners of the Big Buffalo group
of mines in Buffalo Hump have been in
session all afternoon considering a
proposition submitted to them by j. J.
Bennett, representing the DeLamar
Mining Co., Ltd, to bond the group for
S500000
As we go to press we learn that the
offer has been accepted by all the
owners and the papers are now being
drawn up. We have not time this
evening to state details further than
| limited time is given for examination
of the property, and that upon accept
ing the bond the sum of $4,000 is to be
paid the owners in cash.
Idaho county is to be congratulated
that the DeLamar people have at length
obtained firm foothold here. They
are good people to do business with,
and we rejoice that they are now per-
manently located among us. 1t means
great things for old Idaho county.
The foregoing is from the Grange
vile Daily Free Press of the 9TH instant
At the office here nothing has been
given out concerning the deal, although
the presence of blue print of an ey-
cellent map of the Hump district, with
pencil marks on the Big Buffalo and
adjoining claims, lying upon Mr. Or
ford's desk denotes that he has more
information concerning the deal than
he is willing to disclose. Mr.. Huntley
is still in that district and doubtless in
direct communication with his prin-
cipals in London, and Mr.. Oxford, of
course, would not publish anything
from here. The report in the Free
Press is, however, believed to be correct,
and it is at least plausible, because it
looks altogether probable that the men
who held the former bond gave it up
because of the 100000 additional the
property would cost them, which their
contract required them to pay Sam
Silverman, the middle-man. The owners
preferred to give the option to other
reliable parties
We can congratulate the owners that
they are now dealing with men who
want the property for themselves, If
inspection proves it to be valuable, and
who will not resort to any small sub
terfuges to lower the price or injure
the reputation Of the district.
They have the money-lots of ito
pay for the property, and lots more to
develop and work it. The history of
the company's business affairs in De
Lamar, where never miner, wood or
supply man has had to wait over a pay
day for what was due him, and where
all differences between employees and
employers have been always amicably !
during the eight years they |
have run this camp demonstrates that
they will prove to be the men for the
new camp at the Hump, which we hope |
to be one Of the greatest in the country. |
