water from the spring could not be

low wadfng place for children.
Going in wading" constitutes so
much Of pleasure that q day In the
woods would be more complete werO
that finishing touch made possible.
"a shallow pebble bottomed branch
would be a great attraction to the lit

should of course, be in the open to
avoid danger of, snakes. but should be
In as cool and shady a place as would
be consistent with that precaution."

RIDDELL WILL
DEFEND BURKE

Judge Smell has appointed Major c. NJ.
Riddel to defend John Burke, the alleged
assailant Of Siever Larsen, Burke acts very
Indifferent. He says that he does not care
whether there is an attorney appointed to
defend him or not, and that he has not
yet decided what he will do when his case
is called next Saturday.
To save time the court has appointed an
attorney so that when the case comes up
next Saturday Burke will not delay the
trial by signifying his intention to stand
trial and asking to have someone appointed
to defend him.
Gus Chivije, the Italian from whom
Burke took the hat the night Larsen was
shot. is held at the county Jail as a wit
ness. He has been trying to get someone
to furnish bail so that he can carry on his
work, but had not succeeded in doing so up
to noon today.

SOUTH TACOMA DRIVEWAY IS
FULL OF RUTS and MUDHOLES

have made unfayorable comments on the
condition of the main road leading to these
driveways, and have intimated that the
people of Tacoma were not alive to the
advantages of that section as an attrac-
ton to tourists.
Several years ago much money was spent
in grading the road and putting in drains,
but since then it has been neglected. All
that the road needs now is the expenditure
of few hundred dollars annually for re
pairs. A few loads of gravel here and
there and bitches made through the level
stretches would put the road in condition
to be used for teaming or light driving. If
it is allowed to 60 as it is much longer,
the cost of repairing will increase greatly.
The merchants of South Tacoma have a
kick coming, too. Many of them get their
goods from wholesale houses in the city,
and by reason of not being able to haul
full load over the road, are put to addi-
tional expense.

ONE KILLED IN MAN
HUNT NEAR AUBURN
Chas Paulson Tramp Logger, Victim Of Winchester
Bullet Fired From John NOrths Rifle

AUBURN, Wash, May 3.--In an excit
evening, Charles Paulson, a logger from
Merrill, Wis, was shot and killed by
John North, young farmer. Armed with
all sorts of weapons, posse, organized for
Marshal Berner Of Auburn, had been chas-
ing Paulson and two others for an hour.
When the posse came up with the pursued,
North called to them to halt. They did
no do so and North fired several shots from
his rifle, one of which took effect in Paul.

house, but died before a physician could
reach him.
John Anderson, one Of the fleeing trio,
was captured soon after Paulson was shot,
but the third man escaped
Shortly before the chase began, the three
men and companion assaulted farmer
named O'Neil who lives on ranch near
Auburn, Word was sent to Marshal Rer.
ner and the posse was organized TO cap
ture the men.
ONeil says that the four men were
pulling down his fence. When he ordered
them to stop they made an attack on
himself and his wife aud threatened them
with knife. They stayed about the place
until the arrival of the marshal and his
posse, when they took to the woods, fol
lowed by the officers.
During the chase one Of the men was
lost sight of in the thick uuderbrush. Near
the White river the posse divided, one part
going in the direction thought to have
been taken by the missing man, and the
others continued in pursuit of the three
men. The men We're chased into the river

Dad OUTLOOK FOR
ALL FLESHY LADIES

New York, May 7--Word comes from
Paris, the source of feminine fashions
that the fullness of the skirt has not yet
reached its limit There seems to be a
tendency to expand the volume of the
skirts, to the utter despair of all stout
women. 1t seems, after all, that those
who predicted, when the skirts began to
become fuller, that the new fashion
would not last long and would, certainly
not 90 beyond a most moderate limit, we're
mistaken. AT first the skirts merely
showed suggestion of fullness by far
ing at the bottom. After while the
zone of fullness began to extend to the
region Of the knees and step by step the
fullness ascended to the hip region. Now,
so it is reported from Paris, there is
every reason to believe that the process
of gradual expansion win not stop at the
lower part of the hip but that, after a
while, the fullness will begin right at the
waistband.
Stout women are at a great disadvant
age in following the new fashion. Even
at the time when the fullness did not
reach above the knee a short, stout wom
an, with modish skirts would resemble
nothing more closely than big bell
with its rim widely curved out. What
are they going to do when full skirts
with the fullness beginning at the waist
band, are the style9 They win have but
two alternatives. They have the choice
between following the fashion and wear
ing skirts that make them look as big
and clumsy as a barrel, or sacrifice
stylshness for the sake of securing a
more graceful appearance.
The slender and graceful woman, on
the other hand, could not possibly find
any style more becoming to her than the
skirts Of the present fashion. The eff
feet of the graceful lines formed by the
judiciously full skirts upon a slender
woman is exquisite and far prettier than
anything shown for many years.
There is, however, also an economic
side to the new style II is more expen-
sive than the style in vogue two or three
years ago when fashion decreed that the
skirts must be almost skin tight. For
the new style skirt a great deal more
material is required than for the skirt Of
two years ago and that alone has caused
considerable increase in the cost of
dresses. But that is not all. The trim
ming and oFnamentation Of skirts is in
fnitely more elaborate than It used to
be-, and as many Of the materials used,
like lace, are quite expensive, the large
increase in the amount Of material re
quired for trimming under the new re-
eime. means a corresponding increase in
the cost of modern skirts.

Much complaint has been made latel!
in regard to the condition of the driveway
between South Tacoma and the business
center OF the city The road was in fairly
good condition once but neglect has left
it much like a backwoods trail
The road is full of ruts and mudholes and
to haul an ordinary load over it is impossi
bic. In some places the roadway is so
narrow that the passing of two vehicles
is difficult, especially if one is drawn by
a skittish horse.
This is the gateway between the business
center of Tacoma and the prairie country
on the south. The present condition of
the road is not very inviting to trade
from that direction. and it is safe to say
that Tacoma merchants are losing consid-
cradle business on this account
1t has been said by tourists that the
prairie country for 30 miles south of Ia
coma has some of the prettiest natural
driveways to be found anywhere. They
