MOVE OF HEFOKME RS.
Chinese Corporation to Fight for
Trade as Well as Reform.

Seattle, Oct. 23.---A twenty-five mill
lion dollar corporation is to be organ
lied, with headquarters at Hon kong
and prominent American offices in New
York, by Chinese capitalists associated
with the Chinese Empire Reform As
ISOLATION. The primary object OF the
corporation viii! be to promote trade
relations between China and the Uni
ted States, but the corporation VIII
promulgate the theories of the reform
ers and endeavor to work a peaceful re-
folm in Chinese governmental affairs.
Seattle Chinese merchants are heavi-
" interested in the affair, and Wo
Gen, of the Wa Chong Company, is to
leave within two weeks to assist in the
work of organization. A meeting will
be held in Hongkong late in December
to effect the organization of the com
pany and select its officers. A promi-
nent post in the company has been
offered to Wo Gen, but it is not certain
he will accept He is to spend a year
in China assisting in launching the en-
terprise.
The capital has been pledged by Chi
nese merchants and capitalists in
America, China, Australia and India.
Il is estimated that not less than ST.,
GOO, 900 will be invested in the enter
PRISE by American Chinese, but a far
larger sum will come from India. A
single Chinese merchant in India has
contributed $500, 900, and other
wealthy Chinese have taken stock &C.
cording to their ability.
The new company is to be known as
the Chinese Mercantile Company, and
will not only operate big banking
house with branches scattered through
several continents, but is to own a big
importing and exporting house in
Hongkong, with agencies in all Ameri-
can cities doing business with China.
A book publishing house is owned by
the men who are taking stock in the
new corporation, and it will be merged
with the larger enterprise. This pub
fishing house is located in Shanghai
and it's business is confined almost en-
tirely to translating and publishing the
best books printed in foreign languages
Members of the reform society select
the works designed for circulation in
China and they are published by the
Shanghai company.

Stylish Women.

The woman who looks well, no mat
ter what she may be wearing, IS the
fortunate woman who knows how u
put her clothes on, and how to wear
them after she has them on. Some
women have an Understandable way OF
putting on their clothes that makes
them look hideous. no matter how eN-
pensive the gown may be.
II isn't always the extensively gown
ed women who look the most stylish.
In putting on skirt for the first
time it Is always we'll to examine II
first and see if all the hooks are In the
proper place and when it is on to De
sure that every hook is properly fast
ened, after which the skirt should be

1t won't stay down without pinnlng,
the best plan is to pin it. If woman
stands properly she will have no dlfii-
Guilty whatever to keep her skirt at the

After the skirt is properly adjusted

and that none of the pins show.
A small hand-g glass Is all that is need
ed to ascertain whether it Is properly
and neatly fastened
Then there is the hat. Always be
sure and have 1t set on at a becoming
angle. Some women have an irresist-
lble way Of setting on their hats that
their less fortunate sisters would do

After properly putting on dress the
next essential is to wear 1t we'll. That
can only be done by standing and
walking properly.

FRAUDS ARE EXTENSIVE
Conspiracy in Timber Entries on
Pacific Coast.

racine coast.
Washington, Oct. 23.-Only general
confirmation can be secured here of the
report of extensive fraudulent practices
in securing public lands on the Pacific
coast. The department of the interior
officials have been COMMUNICATION over a
year that there were various combina-
tions of Spectators seeking control OF
the public lands for their own purposes,
and more recently a number OF special
agents have been working in the field
to secure evidence OF the frauds. AS
sistant Attorney Pugh, of the office OF
the assistant attorney general for the
interior department, was sent to the
coast to assist with his legal knowledge
A great number of land entries in all
three of the coast states have been held
but so far no test case has been brought
The methods of the spectators varied
but the most common is to secure pat.
ented lands within forest reservations
and then exchange them for more val.
liable lands on the outside. Persons
living on the Western slope have charg
ed that some forest reservations have
| been created with this end in view, the
landholders within them being respon.
sible for creating the sentiment which
led to their establishment. This charge
| is among those now being investigated
Many entries OF land unde" the tim.
Der and stone act are regarded with sus
picion, the officials believing that the
entrymen have taken the lands for spec.
ulative purposes rather than for then
own use and benefit" as the laqw re.
quires. 1t is generally believed that
many thousands of acres OF the public
domain have thus fallen into the hands
of spectators, and charges Of conspira.
cy are freely made, yet SO far no def.
mite effort at prosecution has been un.
dertaken.
A common plan of operation on the
part of the spectators is to buy state
lands in closed-in areas which are liza.
BILE to become part of forest reserves
These, it is said, they often secure for
| 81 or 81 an acre, whereas, when the
reservations are created, the value is
increased TO IS or So per acre. Govern.
or Cha mberlain, of Oregon, is now in
Washington, comforting with the secre-
tary of the interior concerning these
land transfers. He claims that the
state has lost considerable sum in
this way, and is endeavoring TO secure
settlement which will reimburse the
state. Secretary Hitchcock declines to
discuss the case, but says he will make
statement later.
