Lessons From Swiss Dairying.

II Is possible fol MS TO draw many
lessons from Swiss dairying. Prob
ably this industry in Switzerland Is
the oldest occupation of man there,
at least, 1t has been the principal in
dustry since the narrow valleys were
occupied by the first settlers. So many
centuries has dairying been carried or
in these mountains that the records do
not 90 back Il the commencement
We only know that long ago-cen'
turtles ag0-the Government of the can
ons of Swltzerlands concluded that
the people of Switzerland, as whole
had a right TO say how the pastures
at least the pastures OH the mountaiE
heights, should be handled. So laws
We're passed governing both the pas
lures owned by the public and the pas
lures owned by the individual dairy
men. To these laws the Swiss ap
parently owe the preservation OF theii
pastures. - ;r
The Alpine pastures are leased to thi
highest bidder and the men that Sc
cure them are prevented from sub
leasing. This acts against few meI

hardship 10 the men owning cows
The lessee agrees TO so handle th'
pastures that they will! not only bi
kept In as good condition as when hi
took charge OF them, but that they
will be even better. The communities
that own the pastures have them sur

The number of cows or other animal
that can be kept on them Is fixed b,
rule, and this number is small enough
so that the pastures will not be injured
by being fed too close. This is rull
that might be proaiably adopted b:
our American farmers. The pastur
season endures for about four months
and not till the grass Is well started II
the spring are the animals permlttei
to be driven on. Trees dot the paturc

The long shoulders OF the moment
sometimes give lot OF trouble to the
amateur dresslnaker. The correct way
to nj them Is to put the underpart In

sleeves into small pleats and make

but II desired they can be left stitched
for few inches from the armhole.
There are many devices for obtaining
the long shoulder effect without act
ually cutting the long seam. which is

ana lace can be arranged 80 as to have
the points running down over the top
OF the arm. and this Will be found very
effective.

The stables where the cows are TO
be kept should receive first attention.
They should be made sufficiently
warm, should he well lighted and
should have means for ventilation.
Then the floor under the cows should
be properly constructed. The raised
portion on which they stand should be
four to six inches higher than the rest
and of just sufficient slant to allow
the liquids TO run of freely. The floor
should be smooth and even and not full
of cracks and holes. A cement floor, il
properly constructed and kept well
covered with bedding, will be free
from these defects. more durable than
wood and altogether cheaper in the
end
Cows should not be too crowded in
their stalls. There should be room
enough for the animals and for q man
TO get between them comfortably and
milk or clean them.

shirred Mousquetaire Sleeves.


Fancy sleeves have already become
established facts and are necessary to
the fashionable gown. These very
graceful ones are quite new and are
peculiarly well adapted to all the soft
and pliable materials of the season.
AS illustrated the sleeve TO the left Is
made of willow green crepe poplln the
one to the right of mahogany colored
messaline but appropriate materials
are many. The sleeve to the left Is
snug just at the shoulder, while the
one TO the right Is more mouffant.
Which is better depends entirely upon
the special figure to be considered.
The sleeves consist OF the fitted lIn-
ing, which is the same for both, and
the outer sleeve. on which the differ
ent shlrrings are indicated. Each
sleeve is cut in one piece the one to
the left being shlrred IN several rows
at its upper and seam edges. while the
draped sleeve Is gathered once only ut

All youths high hopes, all hidden pain,
All loves soft music. heard no more

PROPERTY OWN[R} AFT[Q
h0R[ f|Rt INSURANCE

The many fires that have occurred
lately with the accompanying heavy
losses due to poor water pressure
have caused a rush of big property
holders for more insurance in spite
of the heavy rates.
Efforts are being made to float ad-
ditional risks on many of the big
gest blocks in town. The insurance
men are turning a deaf ear to most
of the entreaties and are standing
pat on present risks. Wherever it
is possible, the risks are being re-
duced by the isurance companies and
there is a rushing hither and thither
by insurance men these days the
moment large policy runs out in
order to get it underwritten. If
weather conditions change and we
have some rain, rates will probably
go no higher; if not, there may be a
further raise in rates in addition to
a reduction in risks.
And all this trouble is brought upon
the city by the manipulation of the
city's water supply to further a
damnable steal on meters.
Some boodlers in st. Louis are in
the penitentiary.

RINGLING'S CIRCUS

The four great trains of Ringing
Bros circus, bearing the mighty ele-
plants, wonderful clowns, gilded
cages, high strung horses, agile and
graceful performers and a thousand
and one other things of mystic circus
interest are due to arrive in Spokane
early Saturday morning. Most likely
before the late riser has had his
morning coffee the magic white city
will be spread on the show grounds
and futtering flags of all nations will
announce the fact.
Saturday morning at $50 o'clock
the splendid street pageant will start
from the circus grounds and go
over the usual business streets. This
procession will be nearly three miles
long and present more novelty and
lavish display than ever offered be-
fore by Ringing Bros.
The spectacle of Jerusalem and
the Crusades" opens the performance,
and there are 1900 characters in this
production.
The sensational climax to the many
features is the much talked of leap
ing the gap A bicycle rider called
Crazo wheels down a steep incline
and is whirled through space a dis
tance of 50 feet onto a padded plat
form, from which he rides into the

Many more people than were eX
pected turned out last night at the
meeting of the Republican League
club. The acknowledgements hoped
to prevent a meeting by not adver-
tising it, but there seems to be 9
surprising amount of enthusiasm and
confidence in the Spokane republicans.
This probably accounts for the large
attendance last night and on other
nights
Senator Herman D. Crow made an
address in which he told things about
the political situation which the
Review Chronicle studiously sup
presses. Judge L. B. Nash presided.
From every section of the county,
said the presiding officer, come re-
ports that there never was a better
feeling among republicans. Never
were our prospects of success better
than they are now. The dissatisfac-
tion which did exist is rapidly dying
out"
Senator Crow spoke briefly of the
state legislative record, showing by
the journals Of the various sessions
the absurdity Of the Review
Chronicle contention that any useful
railroad legislation would be enacted
by the democratic party. He showed
In particular the record of the legis-
lature of 1897 which elected George
Turner senator and which was con-
trolled by him and George Stevenson
and which refused absolutely, in
spite of it's overwhelming democratic
majority. to do anything for the peo-
PIE against the railroads.

be overwhelmingly elected said Mr..
Crow. THE commission question is

Chronicle can conjure up in hopes of
inducing the election of George Turn

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, Aug. 16.-Arrangements were
completed today for the notification
of Senator Henry G. Davis of his
nomination for the vice presidency
by the democratic national conven-
ton. The ceremonies will take place
here tomorrow afternoon and will be
attended by large delegations of dem
ocrats from Petersburg, Charlesto
Elkins and other points. The notifica-
ton speech will be delivered by Con-
gresham John Sharp Williams. Sen
ator Davis will briefly respond. The
exercises are expected to occupy not
more than an hour.

ton was entered by the company, but
the board remained obdurate and the
valuation was raised several hundred
thousand dollars during the day. On
two blocks alone the increase was
$4,000 This makes a total increase
of s75O,000,O00 of real and personal
assessment.
Will the Spokane county board of
equalization refuse the opportunity of
doing likewise?

railroad day. Assessor Stewart has
already raised the assessment of the
railroads. Will the board stand by
him or will it raise or reduce?

DEMOCRATS AGAINST
COMMISSION BILL

must receive votes from west of the
mission bill as it is or everything
else, yet the only sentiment west of
the Cascades in favor of such a
measure is amonog republicans.
Therefore, even if eastern Washing
ton went all democratic, there would
be no possibility of the democrats
passing a commission bill, for the
records of the legislature have shown
that west side democratic members
do not vote for railroad legislation.
IF a democratic governor can pass
a commission bill, as the Review
Chronicle prentends, in spite of the
Is holdover senators who are repub-
secure the passage of such a meas
ure when both branches of the legis-
lature were overwhelmingly demo-
cratic?
THE only way for republicans to
accomplish anything in the way of
railroad legislation is to fight our
battles in the republican party. 1t
is foolish for republican who does
not get all he wants in his own party
to go and vote the democratic ticket
There certainly can be nothing
accomplished by electing a democrat
to the legislature from Spokane coun-
ty. People of this county will be in
better position to accomplish some
thing in the way of commission leg
islation If they elect republican men,
