HATS FOR THE FALL
A Varied and Attractive Display at
the Millinery Opening of the

T. Of Trimmers Here.

Chief among the delights which Sep
TENDER has to offer to the summer girl
on her return to town life are the fall
openings. A combination of fairy land
and hearty bazaar stamps these first of the
autumn functions, where maids and mat
rons meet and greet each other often for
the first time since the early summer
months. Every article in the diversified
feminine wardrobe must have its separate
introduction, and paramount in import
ance is the adornment which either makes
or mars milady's toilet-her hat i @...
At the Plymouth clothing store, where
the big fall opening in the millinery de-
partment takes palceN tomorrow at 10
o'clock, the display is something to make
one yearn for a bottomless purse. Every
thing one could dream Of In the line of
dazzling headgear is there. Blum, Meyer,
Virot and many others of international
fame are among the designers Of these
creations in fur, lace, silk, jewels and
feathers, all of which enter into the max
ing of single hat.
One Of the most gorgeous as we'll as Cd
dest Of the hats displayed is made OF
white MORE antique, appliqued in Russian
lace. Ermine and mink edge the crown
and brim, both of which form perfect
squares. A long, floating drapery of ap-
pliqued chiffon gives the finishing touch
to this unique specimen of Blum's de-
signing In complete contrast to this is
an embroidered Gainsborough of the new
bearer-plush, by Meyer. The hat is white
with a delicate floral design in pale pink
lavenrad and yellow running over crown
and brim. This hat, of which there are
Just two more in the states, one in New
York and one in Butte, Mont, is caugh
up at the side with bunch of white os
trich plumes. Another extremely stun
ming Gainsborough is Of white bearer
plush, with an all-over applique Of ermint
heads and tails. The bird of-paradist
feather which adorns this hat is in blacl
and white.
Another sumptuous and up-to-date eff
feet is produced by the lavish use of the
new gray squirrel and mink fur. The
hat, which is of white lace trimmed will
shaded plume, is heavily edged will
the fur. To give the finishing touch, G

Virot's hat, a pale blue turban trimmed
with the feathers of the riHebird, the mos
expensive adornment in the feathered line
in the millinery world, heads the list O.

dozens of boxes waiting to be unpacked.
A beautiful evening hat is light rose
beaver plush In one of the popular new
plat shapes. The entire top of the hat Is
covered with grapes shaded in tones OF

The opening IS in charge of Madame
Farrell of New York, who has brought
with her trimmers and designers from
her regular Fifts havenue staff.

READY TO FIGHT IT
Minneapolis Lumbermen Are Guard
ing Their Pacific Slope Timber
Against Fire Now Raging.
Delay in Shipments Is the Greatest
Inconvenience Felt Here as
Result of Blaze.

H. B. Waite &. Co. Is the only Mime
apolis lumber firm whose timber interests
in Washington are in any danger from the
big forest fires now raging in that state.
This company owns 200, 100000 feet Of
standing timber on a 5,000-acre tract,
thirty miles north Of Seattle at Clear
Lake.
II have just received advices from our
manager at Clear Lake." said Mr.. Waite,
Informing me that our interests are in
no immediate danger, and that a force of
men who have just gone to our logging
camp will probably be able to fight the
fire off If it comes to close quarters. Our
premises are fitted up with the most
approved modern appliances in the nature
OF automatic pumps and other devices for
fighting fire. If any human agency, can
outwit the flames we are certainly well
prepared. = -sa~. A. : -
1--WE value our Washington timber at So
a thousand, which would make a total
valuation Of 100000. AS none Of our
timber is open and is situated across the
lake from the worst fire, we are not
anticipating any blaze which will seriously
threaten us with heavy loss. The timber
which is suffering most is on the west and
southwest sides of the mountains, where
it dries out readily.
Shipments Are DELAYED.
Lumber interests generally throughout
the territory which draws on the coast
for any part Of it's supply and which in
cludes the Minneapolis district, will suffer
considerably as result Of the big delay
In shipments which the fire has already
caused. Innumerable sawmills and log
cling camps have already been destroyed
and the check on western business has
been heavy, so much so that it will great
ly diminish 1.-The supply Of coast lumber
for the remainder of the year. Our tan
gible loss in that regard has been nominal
up to date. III rra'.sEa-% q. !
Districts south of Tacoma = and K: in
northern Oregon are more2in the fire zone
and are chiefly threatened The heavi-
est losses have been at Emunclaw, Ste
venson, Vancouver, Chehalis and Elma. "
c. A. Smith and T. B. Walker are the
only other Minneapolis lumbermen, who
have extensive lumber interests on the
coast. Their timber Is in California and
Oregon. 1t is mostly pine and fir and
being located on clear ground with no
underbrush to speak Of. it would be lin
little danger even If situated in the fire

VALUE OF TESTIMONY
Greater Than Assertion.

There is none of us so hardened but that
when we have been able to aid our fellow
creatures by comforting benefit or bring
ing little comfort into their lives we like
to have appreciation shown. This gen.
orally affords more pleasure than the per-
Torrance of the act itself, and in this con-
nection the following letter fro ma Paris,
Texas, lady is of more than usual interest:
Dear Friends: I address you as such, for
you have been such to me. I suffered for
three years off and on with piles. I was
treated at the hospital, and the new and
elegant hospital, Of Memphis; they only
gave me temporary relief I came west.

wanted was big sum Of money from mo

geon's knife would enter me; II 1t was
my time to die God knew it, and when
died would die all together. I began
hearing about your medicine. I had no
faith in you. but I sent and got a box Of
your Pyramid Pile Cure; in two days the
blood flow had slackened to one-half the
amount, and in one week felt so much

three weeks I was well. God bless you for
putting such wonderful medicine within
the reach of suffering men and women

ticine or be without it; also used your
Pyramid Pills. Sallie A Hearndon." Tes-
timony like this should be more convincing
than all claims and assertions, and should
leave no doubt in the mind Of the reader
as to the merit of the remedy. Pyramid
Pile Cure is sold by druggists for fifty
cents a package. or will be mailed by ths
makers to any address upon receipt Of

AFISTFUL OF DEATH

Of the, lycosa tarantula tucked safely
away behind a glass case in Arizona two
weeks ago.
Mr.. Hilyards peaces Of mind on that
momentous occasion was due. to the fact
that. while he had tenderly caressed the
monster spider, after discovering the same
in the purlieus of his mining camp the
any-legged captive had refrained from
biting him. AS the bite of a tarantua is
commonly supposed to be as fatal as a

nanza miner Is congratulating himself on
his narrow escape. as He, good naturedly
admits. that, while. he, has spent many
years in the southwest he has never seen
