PlctureSqueness seems to be the KEY
note of the new fashions. particularly
IN hats and coats. There are more ne
culiar and original shapes of hats to he
seen in the shops at present than ever
before, but they all have one feature
in common: they are invariably pic
turesque and for that reason, I'M
usually attractive. The picturesque
ness of the hats does not altogether
depend upon oddly of shape. as il
seemed to be the rule during the past
few seasons. The shapes are mostly
graceful and the materials used for
the foundation as We'll as for the trim
mings and the combinations of colors
add to a great extent to the beauty
and charm of the general effect.
The new straws. or at least many of
them, show delicate tints and combina-
tions of tints, unusual and yet har-
monizing. Strange to say even colors
heretofore considered incompatible,
are used together with remarkably
pleasing effect. There are quite a num-
Der of new shades of green, among
them novelties in moss, sage, tea and
new leaf green's. There is also a great
variety of new shades in puppies, pinks
and browns. The blues are in a class
by themselves and show a greater va
riety than ever. The materials used
in most cases very delicate of struct-
ure, suggesting lace effects. Many Of
the hats are trimmed with the lightest
and daintiest chiffons and other deli
cate materials and look extremely
dainty and fragile.
The Waistcoat has received more at
tentton recently and promises to be
quite popular this season. In some of
the costumes lately imported the
waistcoat is used to produce a con-
TRASHY effect by the brightness of it's
color, These bright waists are used

Of the bolero is thrown back. The
W8istcoats are not always real waist

simulated Waistcoats are i'm some cases
only an edge or border, usually of a
EDGE of the coat. In other cases the
border is set a considerable distance
in, SO rs to produce the effect of Il
real Waistcoat.
There is Il great variety in the mate

made only at certain times and in the
presence of a special agent. Perhaps
when congress meets its members
nay not think it just the thing to
have a congressional enactment set
aside by a bureau officer. In the
meantime every settler who wants to
prove up without waiting six or eight
months must go to Bismarck. That
they may know just what the expense
will be we give the following figures:
A great many of the proofs will be
made by settlers who reside far
enough away from Linton to necessi-
tate their coming to town the night
before, as the N. P. train departs at
7 o'clock in the morning. This train
runs but three times a week; so three
days will be required for the trip.
The register and receiver will, I'M
doubtedly set the date of proofs so
that the proof may be taken in time
to allow the claimant and mis- two
witnesses to return home by the first
tain. They will therefore be absent
three days from the time they take
the train at Linton or Hazelton, as
above stated. The expenses of the
proof, including publication of the no.
tice and the land Office fees, will be as
follows:
The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1904-09-10

In another column is published an
Interesting article from the Emmons
County Record on the new ruling of
the land department at Washington
requiring all proofs to be made before
the register and receiver at U. S. land
offices or at a place and on a date
fixed for the convenience OF a special
agent of the department to be present.
This rule will work great hardship
and considerable expense to settlers
in some instances and it is doubtful
if the benefits and elimination of
frauds expected by the government
will be realized under this order. The
Bismarck land officers investigated
this matter quite thoroughly and ad-
vised against the system but the condi-
lions in other districts seem to have
inspired the commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office with a desire to put q
stop to the wholesale frauds practiced
on Uncle Sam in the appropriation OF
the public domain and the result is
this general order. If its enforcement
does not accomplish the object for
which it is issued and If the hardships
in it's enforcement clearly overbalance
and outweigh the benefits its speedy
revocation or modification may be
expected.-Bismarck Daily Tribune.

Probable Duration Of the War.
Henry Clews' weekly trade n

Henry Clews' weekly trade re-
view says
The war is once more becoming
a factor in the situation, inasmuch
as it's early termination which now
seems likely, would relieve the in
ternational money markets of the
strain which it's continuance must
impose. Port Arthur's fall is i'm
minent. After that, what of Vlad-
ivostok, Mukden, Hardin? There
are those that believe a wal of ex-
haustion will follow, and that Rus
STA will simply attempt to tire out
her doughty little antagonist. This
is by no means a certainty, for Rus
sia's political, social, industrial and
financial affairs are in such a weak
ened and demoralized condition
to say nothing of the impaired con-
dition of her army and %navy-that
the strain Of war may be greater
upon her than upon Japan. Russia
possesses vast territory and enor-
nous resources; but these are un-
developed and her population is
stepped in ignorance and widely
scattered. Insuch a struggle mere
numbers do not count but success
goes with intelligence and capacity
for rapidly organized movement
particulars in which the Japanese
have proved themselves vastly su.
perior to their heavy, stolid foes
Certainly conditions today favor q
reasonably early termination of the
war, rather than a long drawn out
contest, which will be adverse to
interests Of all the great powers
concerned.

An eastern exchange is led to re-
mark that one Of the features of
the age is the tendency to return
to agriculture. Where a few years
ago the farmer boys were rushing
to the cities to crowd the profess
ions, there is now a decided move
in the other direction. The nat
ural reaction that must follow a
movement SO radical in some meas
ure, accounts for the disposition to
return to the soil for a livelihood,
but there is more. The agricult-
urist has become a professional
man. The college and the univer-
sity have added a special course
for his benefit, ad give him a de-
gree. He is a botanist and a chem
list, and science has taught him to
take in the jaded and worn out
farm and with intelligence cause it
to blossom like the rose. The dis
spiriting labor which bent the
forms of the elders and sent the
lad scurrying. cityward has been
lightened by devices that better
accomplish the ends sought. The
long hours are shortened, and the
farmer finds time to indulge in the
enjoyments of life. This new con-
dition, added to the fascination OF
independence, has turned many
men from other professions toward
the country, carrying with them
the mannerisms of their class until
the determination of the chin whis-
ker is threatened by the frock coat.

Total expenses. &. . -. -. $3.50
To this total must be added 81 land
office fee for those who reside In the
double.minimum area-that is, with
in the N. p. Immigrant, which ex-
tends forty miles on either side of
the line of the road. This would
run the total expense up to $3.50, or
$3.50 more than it would cost were
one allowed to prove up at Linton. In
addition to this expense there should
be added the extra two days time OF
three men required for the Bismarck
trip.
1t will thus be seen that our Uncle
Sam, through his commissioner Of the
general land office, has put up a pref
ty expensive proposition for the home
steader who desires to prove up with
out waiting half a year or more.
