Surveyors Are at Work in the Myers

Chesaw, Dec. 6.-There is every in

district will have railroad next sea

of surveyors in the field between Cur

surveys and cross sectioning the work,

"tote' road up Myers creek from Mid

Several routes have been SURVEYED by
the railroad company in crossing the
divide between Myers creek and the
Okanogan river, but the one that will

Cured at 6 O clock, in the Lincoln hotel,
176 Madison street. Thirteen of those

SUGAR PRICE ADVANCED.
All Grades to stand at Forty Gents
Per Hundred Increase.

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-The Western
Sugar Refining Company has sent out
circulars to all the wholesale grocery
houses in California, Oregon, Nevada
and Washington, notifying them that
until further notice the price of all
grades of refined sugar would stand ad-
vanced 40 cents per 100 pounds. ALI
grades of refined sugar were advanced
10 points in New York, an action which
apparently caused the increase of
prices here. Local dealers say there
would be no great surprise occasioned
were the Western company to elevate
prices again in the near future, as the
market here is still 80 cents per 100
pounds less the rates in New York,
which is an unuual condition, as sugar
prices are generally lower in New York
than in San Francisco.

ARMY
General Ludington Says Bid of
Boston Steamship Company for
Troops and Supplies Was LIZ
ceedingly LOw---Saving in Rail
Rates Also.

Washintg IN, Dec. 5.-Gen. Luding-
ton, quartermaster general of the army,
who has heretofore been silent on the
subject of the bid offered by the Boston
Steamship Company, of Seattle, for the
army transportation business on the
Pacific, spoke today as follows:
"This is the situation and all l can
say at present: These bids are Wonder
fully low. The company is thoroughly
reliable, az we know from experience.
Mr.. Warehouse, as agent, has lived up
to his contract fully; he is shrewd
man and probably knows what he can
afford to do. But the great advantage
to government interests in the Seattle
bid is that we can transport freight
from the East to Seattle at about 81 90
a ton. This is about $500 cheaper
than We can carry freight to San Fran
cisco. The Northern Pacific is a bond
aided road, and is bound to quote us
one-half their regular schedule; and
Mr.. Hill, of IL e Great Northern, met
this rate. 1t makes a tremendous saw
ing over the cost of transporting sup
plies for shipment from San Francisco.
OF course, if we give up the transports,
l am in favor of keeping them in re-
serve for emergencies.
Gen. Ludington said that the matter
would be ready for settlement by Secre-
tary Root as soon as he returns from
New York. Mr.. Roots strong convlc-
ton that Pacific transportation bust
ness of the war department should be
done by commercial lines is shown very
strikingly in his annual report.
To man up tree it would look as
certain as anything can be that the
army transportation business will 60 to
the Boston Steamship Company, and to
Seattle.
CalifOrnians Are in the Air.
Several members of the Californian
delegation in congress did lot of talk
ing abont the prospect that San Fran
cisco will lose the army transportation
business, and it is evident from what
they said that Californians, to use the
language of the street, are sup in the
air." Senator Perkins said:
"Mr. James j. Hill is after the bust
ness. If were in his place should
try to get the government business, and
l have no doubt that is what he is do
ing. 1t rests with San Francisco to
exert herself to retain the business that
she now enjoys"
How accurate the statement with re-
gard to Mr.. Hill is, may be Judged
from the remarks made by Mr.. Hill to
a acknowledgement correspondent,
experimenting the statements he made
last night:
81 am not here on transport bust
ness at all. But | will say that the
bid submitted to the war department
by the Boston Steamship Company is
legitimate, and there is no reason why
it should not get the transport business.
The rate is the same that has prevailed
since 1894 on bulky freight between
Seattle and Hongkong. There is moth
ing new in it. If the San Francisco
commercial lines did not bid on the
business it was their own fault"

The Tattered Flag

(Sam Lamprey in Washington TimesD
In the sun-bright dust of the street be-
Glittered the bayonets all arrow,
And the muffled tread of a thousand
Deepened the roll of the war-druus' beat.
And the gray old sergeant reused to hear.
With his followed palm to his deafened

While the fife shriIIed loud and the drums
To the nations heart-beats hid in rhyme.
He lifted himself from his old armchair.
And Eazed on the regiment marching
In a glory Of scarlet. and blue ana gold.
And high overhead, like a torn-out fold
OF Liberty's robe. with its glimmerins
Heavens glorious blue on field of

When through blood-dyed stream. by

With the specter light of by-gone day.

He felt the thrill of the battles shock,
And he lifted his head like startled
AS he saw the ghosts BY the tattered

Some were withered and bent and gray,
Some were blythe and bonny and gay.
And their voices shrilled through the

LATEST MODES
FROM THE PARIS
FASHION MARTS

nj oTHING prettier in the way of
cloth gowns and jackets has been
seen for many seasons than those
now shown by the Partisan tailors.
There is not an inch Of superfuous
goods anywhere. The little Jackets are
tight-f1tting in the back. Some are
tight in front. some half fitting. The
skirts all have the small cores and
fit like a sheath. The fuIlness around
the bottom is barely enough to give
the train a graceful sweep. The kew
note in the trimming is simplicity, al
though there is much attention to de-
tail in the finishing Stitching is used
profusely; also the strapping OF the
material and fancy applique Of the
cloth; braiding and embroidery is also
used. but Is not combined in the same
gown.
Tiny straps festooned across the skirt
seams with buttons are used, these be-
ing Of gay plaid on dull brown suit.
The rich coat collar on the Jacket
and the deep cuffs are also faced with
the plaid
Although apparently simple in con-
struction, reproduction of these
6CN@4S D(I0 AAtA NC attempted any
but the strictly first class tailor. ANY
deviation from the perfect lines would
be disastrous. The suits are so sim
pie and severe that they must fit
perfectly.
A well chosen assortment of French
gowns for both day and evening shown
recently by an importer of novelties
proves that almost anything NAV be
worn this year, if IL is well cut and
finished handsomely The selections are
a departure from the severe tailored
gowns, ali being deliberately trimmed.
Some are gathered in the back, one
is tucked in the back, a few are laid
in pleats in the center of the back
while some of the handsomest crea-
tons have the habit back. They prove
another thing besides the fact that the
fashions of this autumn are elastic.
