For The Ladies'.

4 Chicago chemist has made the in
teresting discovery that rs per cent of
the so-called silk used in skirts, blouses
and dresses is nothing less than tin.
Speaking to a reporter for the Chicago
Tribune, this chemist said that the
practice Of substituting tin for vege-
table substance originated in Ger
many. The vegetable matters were
no detriment, though equal brilliancy
Of color was not obtainable, and there
was not the same sheen and feel when
handled as that produed by real silk,
which has the rustic 50 pleasing to
ladies. ears. The practice Of the
dyer, he explains, to whose hands
the silk yarn is intrusted for dyeing
and weighting, is to boil it, and in so
doing he reduces every sixteen ounces
to twelve, thus eliminating the nat
ural gummy substances and the for
eign matter added for the purpose Of
spinning. The twelve onces were then
brought up to fourteen by the use Of
tannic acid, etc. Today, by the sub
situation of tin, the twelve ounces are
raised to sixteen ounces, or even thirty
ounces. The proportion Of weight
ing" is more than in black silk said
a manufacturer to whom this state
ment was submitted. Frequently
only one-fuurth Of the woven material
is real silk: the other three parts are
tin and dye. -" This chemist added:
Any woman can test for herself
whether the silk she is buying is tin
weighted. Let her hold some threads
in flame, and the genuine will leave
an ash embling that Of wool when
burned, with no traces Of tilament,
while the tin weighted simply loses its
color and tenacity. each thread re-
naming distinct in i thin wire

be thrown into mourning. He was

1897 and was elected pope in 1878. He
was made an Archbishop in 1S4S, and is
the only one of the long line of popes
who has worn the episcopal mitre for
sixty consecutive years. He is sixth
in line as to length of reign and fourth
as to personal age.

PROMISING PROSPECTS.
WaIIa WalIa Orchardists Expect Good
Harvest Of Prunes.

Prunes in TNalla Walla county
promise to give splendid returns to
the producer his fall. despite unfav-
orable reports oarly in the season.
Reports early il the season were more
or less unfavora lie in all sections,
but the weather has brought the crop
out remarkably, and now it seems
that a full crop will be harvested.
Prices promise to be high. and a
strong demand is sure to come with
the harvesting of the fruit
Several wholesalers will pack and
ship out large quantities Of prunes,
and the Allen dryer will be ready to
handle all the fruit it can obtain. In
the past the product of this section
has proven very satisfactory. and a
market has always been readily found
for every pound Of surplus that could
be sent to outside points.

Three Carloads of the Vegetable
Made Up.

Onions. fresh from the fields Of the

are being shipped by the carload to
Montana points. no less than three
cars having been sent out this week.
The stock Of dry onions has been ey-
hausted sometime. and the new pro-
duct is just ready for market. Were
the shipments to be made to the cen
trail states it would be necessary to
load refrigerator cars, but for short
hauls ice is not needed. The first on
ions sent out bring top prices, and
both wholesaler and producer receive
good profits.
Aside from onions, the principal
product now going out is potatoes
heavy shipments being made daily
Usually the large shipments go in full
cars, and every effort is made to sup
ply the opening markets Of Montana
and other points a few hundred miles
distant. New potatoes will not stand
long shipments unless preserved with
ice
This season promises to prove a
good one for the fruit and vegetable
men of this section as crops generally
are good and prices fair.

GRAIN HARVEST
IN FULL BLAST
Thousands of Men Busy in the Wheat
Belt Of Washington and
Oregon.

Harvesting upon the hills and +
the valleys of the wheat belt south o,
Snake river is in full blast, and thou
sands Of men are busily engaged gath
ering in the golden grain. The sea-
son is some two weeks late, but the
weather is ideal, and work will be
rushed with all possible haste.
Headers and combines can be see1
in operation on every hand, whii5
threshers are busy in many places
following in the wake Of the header.
From reports received from early
dressings the crop will be light, but
it will average much better than had
been expected recently. Crops of 20
20 "a and 80 bushels are not uncom-
mon, and while some spots will run
below these figures the average will
be fair throughout the county.
Prices are ranging near 65 and ~
cents at the opening of the season.
and indications seem favorable for
strong prices through the harvest
months. The figure is some Is to 20
cents higher than that Of last year
at a similar time, and prospects for a
steady market and fair prices are
much better than they were II months
ago.
Wages range about the same as they
have for number of years, but The
straw is much shorter and the expense
and labor of harvest will be consider
ably diminished. The number Of tran
silent men in the Walla Walla valley
this year is less than in many years
previous, in fact since the years OF
short crops, still there is no appar-
ent shortage Of labor. The number
of men from the PalOuse country is
noticeably short, the reason being a
good crop and activity in all lines of
business. The homseeker's movement
last year brought a large number of
young men from the central section
of the country. but good many Of
them soon showed a dislike for the
methods employed in the western har-
vest fields.
The flood of grain will start toward
the warehouses in a few weeks, and
work will be rushing everywhere until
winter is near at hand. Heavy sales
are likely to be postponed later this
year than usual
