THE POSTOFFICE BUILDING.

- CONGRESSMAN KAHN returns from Wash
Z ington as bearer of good news. lie talks
cheerfully of everything he saw or heard at the
national capital except the billiards. and being now
safe from them in the sunshine of California his views
of things are bright and optimistic.
He reports the California delegation to be solid,
and expresses the belief that with the continuance
OF the unanimity of sentiment which now exists we
will be able to obtain for California interests the
recognition they merit from the Government. AS
an evidence of what has been accomplished in that
direction he points to the fact that the river and har
Dor bill carries with it appropriations for California
OF ST 25oooo the largest amount granted tor improve
ments in the State for many years
Mr. Kahn furthermore confirms the report given
out some time ago that the President has planned
visit to the Pacific Coast during the coming summer
or fall and will undoubtedly undertake it unless some
emergency now unforeseen and improbable should in
terfere to prevent.
The most interesting report he makes, however is
that relating the long delayed construction of the
Postoffice building. We told not only that the
work of erecting the edifce will begin speedily, but
that the structure itself will be the barracklike
edifce that it looks in the drawings which have been
sent out On that subject Mr.. Kahn is quoted
saying:
Before leaving Washington I received most posi-
tive assurances from high officials that the construc
ton OF the new Postoffice building would soon begin
and be prosecuted with energy from now on. Before
the end of the year the first story of the building will
be up The appropriation for the building is $500 ooo
and the supervising architect OF the Treasury says
that while no radical changes could be made in the
plans which have been heretofore approved, the
wishes of the people of San Francisco would be
garded as far as possible and such changes made
ale compatible with the architectural beauty OF the
structure The architect pledges his professional
reputation that the Federal building being
erected in San Francisco will be of the i'm
posing structures in America. As provided in the
original specifications nothing but California material
is to be used in the new Postofce Granite and marble
will both be used Some revision has been made in
the specifications which were about completed when
left the capital and proposals for bids will probably
be advertised within a week. Then soon as Con-
gress adourns and the half-nillion appropriation is
available the construction of the building will be pro-
ceeded with and continue without cessation until fin
ished"
1t is to be hoped the architect who stakes his repu-
tation that the building will be of the most I'm
posing" in America did not mean it is to be case
of imposing on the city, looked like time
We have waited long for the structure that the
people will be glad the work begin under any
circumstances, and if it proves to be really noble
edice there will be something like a festival among
the citizens when it is completed

It is refreshing to see the worm turn.
as it does in the person Of Mr.. Harry
Thurston Peck in the June Cosmopoli-
tan. Downtrodden man now at last has
a proper champion against woman. He
does not mince matters, but asserts
himself In all his native dignity. Man
is master Of the earth and all therein,
including woman. This is so sturdil1
refreshing that one feels his masculinity
rise to its ancient dignity. and one
wants to go out and find a woman and
lord it over her. Mr.. Peck grandly de-
clares that woman must marry, and he
proposes to effect that happy consum'
nation wholesale at the point of the
bayonet, because it is physical strength
that rules the world. Then he utters q
fearful warning. If woman enters tn.
industrial field and cuts the reward OF
labor down to starvation prices, man,
awaking from his lethargy and shaking
his name, will apply the brutal remedy
swiftly. He will control the food sup
ply. and woman will be compelled again
to get her portion of it, as she did in
savage days, when her lord and master
took her by force and fed her by toler'
ance. Man is a terrible instrument OF
vengeance when he is once aroused and
has Mr.. Peck at his elbow. Let woman
beware!

THIEF RIAER FALLS MILL READY,


A dispatch from Thief River Falls,

Thief River Falls, Minn,, July L.
The Theft River Falls Lumber COM
pany's mill which undoubtedly is
the most modern saw mill in north
ern Minnesota, is just receiving the
finishing touches Of the millwrights
and will be in.full operation by July 6.
1t is a double band mill with a re-
saw, and nothing has been spared
to make it q first class mill in every
detail.
Too much cannot be said of Gen
eral Manager O'Day and the hus-
Ting young superintendent, f. NJ.
Rogers. Much credit is due both OF
them for their efficient management
and engineering in order to get the
mill in operation in such & short
time, it only taking seventy-five
days including time for excavating
from the time that work started tc
complete the mill.
The members of the company
have good reason to feel proud o
their plant here and employees also

Bias and straight cut folds are In great
use on gowns of light cloth, sheer wool,

the back Of the dress skirt are now being
abandoned by we'll dressed women.
Graceful evening gowns ore made Of

nuns yelling and india silk in white OF
pale tints Of mauve or pink.
Both French and American modistes
are still making use OF all kinds and col
ors of narrow ribbon as trimming for
summer gowns Of silk, yelling, grenadine,
barege, etc.
Very dainty and refined looking are the
gowns Of gray and white foulard silk,
with trimmings of black chantilly net,
laid over rose pink. with a number OF
black velvet bows set here and there on
the bodice.
Many Of the new summer fabrics have
a continuous trimming woven in the
goods. Grenadines, Examines and nets
have beautiful Insertions, incrustations,
chenille devices, like embroidery, and
runnings Of crimped ribbon interviewer.
More and more do some of the new
hats resemble the turban. Their design
ers have thoroughly mastered the art
Of folding tulle as deity as the Turk
himself. Indeed the modern tulle hat
a very close copy Of its imposing foreig'
prototype.
In the notably dainty effects among
summer toilets are white serge, cloth or
mime skirts with waists Of soft mink

Quoise blue or stem green silk. White
parasols lined with color matching the
waist and white round hats decorated
with one large rose cluster and many full

Physical Training.

We are glad to know that the
Board Of Education are contemplate
ing the Introduction of physical
training into our schools this year.
1t will doubtless meet with the
hearty approval of the patrons gen
orally as it has been a long felt want
in school work. Exclusive atten-
ton to mental development is not
only hurtful to the child by it's neg
lect of the body but the long sit
ting imposed leads to cramped bod
lily position which means contracted
chests, spinal curvatures and many
other serious ills. 1t requires but
little observation to see that the
physical powers Of school children
will not be adequately cared for I'M
less special attention be paid to
them, nor does it seem that any
more practical work than this can
be done in the schools.
Already under the keen competf-
ton of modern life, the application
required of almost everyone is such
as few can bear without more or
less injury. Already thousands
break down under the pressure they
are subject to. If this pressure con-
tinues to increase as it seems likely
to do, it will try severely all but the
soundest constitutions. Hence 1T is
becoming OF special Importance that
the training of children should be
carried on as not only to fit them
mentally for the struggle before
them but also to make them physi-
cally fit to bear it's wear and tear.
