MAKING EFFORTS SAVE THE CALIFORNIA ELK.

ing. Tardy game laws have come TOO
late to permit the rejuvenating of their
kind in the United States. The elk must
soon follow the moose, whose fate was
that Of the buffalo, Henry Miller would
have elk in California when elk are to
be found nowhere else in the country.
Millers elk are on one of his many
cattle ranches, the Buena Vista ranch,
in the mountains of Kern county, thir-
ty-four miles east Of Bakersfield.
When first cattle were driven there the
elk were plentiful. Herds of elk graz
ed and browsed with herds Of steers.
With the settlement Of the country the
elk thinned before the settlers guns.
When but few were left Henry Mil
Ter saw that complete determination
was close at hand, and he interfered.
He chose the best wooded portion Of
his land, containing hundreds Of acres
of timber and thicket, in places almost
impenetrable, and built about the great
area an eight foot fence. The fence
was left open at places, and the nat
ural instincts of the elk taught him in
time that only within this ideal re-
treat, always guarded from hunters
and intruders, was he safe. The elk
of the whole vicinity took up their
home there and their number has in
creased within the last ten years.

The California elk Is to be saved from
extinction. Henry Miller, the cattle
king, Is to save the elk, says the San
Francisco Chronicle He is at work
upon a magnificent country home with
in easy reach of San Francisco. 1t is
called Mount Madonna, because it tops
a little mountain of that name; but
Elkwood might be a NOR. appropriate
designation, for it is about this sur
passing country seat that Henry Miller
is arranging a preserve, immune from
gun and dog and the civilized things
which harry forest dwelfers, where the
California elk may live on in peace to
the perpetuation and even increase Of
his kind.
The cattle king will be able to carry
out his praiseworthy scheme, because
already he owns about all the Califor-
mia elk which lift their antlers today.
There may be 80 specimens of these
magnificent elk in California. Henry
Miller owns 125.
The elk which he now owns compose
what is probably the only herd of
American elk which it will be possible
to save. In the terribly rough Jack
sons Hole country Of Wyoming, in
Arizona and in a few places farther
east the last of the elk are now in hid

5000 ACRES in COTTON.
Extensive Farming Interests of Mr.. r.
F. Putney.
From the Albany Herald.

From the Albany Herald.
Mr.. F. F. Putney of Putney; eight
miles south of Albany, has become
one the most extensive farmers in
Georgia. He owns nearly all The land
around Putney and has several plan
tations in high state of cultivation.
His "home place" is one of the largest
and best improved farms in south west
Georgia, and he has been extending
his farming operations gradually for
twelve or fifteen years past, until be
now has system of farms extending
over several square miles.
This year Mr.. Putney has 5000
acaes planted in cotton, and a gentle
man who rode over 1t one day this
week says that it is all in fine condi-
ton, being the best cotton crop he
has seen in years. This extensive
cotton acreage includes the crops of
the many tenants that Mr.. Putney has
on his different places.
When it is known that Mr.. Putney
is by no means an all-cOttOn farmer,
but that he produces quantities of
corn, peas, potatoes, sugar cane and
other food crops, the extent of his
farming operations may be estimated
at something like what they really
are. He also gives a good deal of at
tention to cattle and hogs. and per-
haps has more hogs in his pastures
today than any two other farmers in
the county,

Waists to BE Worn Looser.
In the gowns of the royal trousseau,
as we'll as in other gowns, there is one
thing very noticeable. and that is seen
in the shirt waists. These are made
very much fuller and larger than they
were. The shoulders are as sloping as
ever, but the waists are fuller and that
which is a thirty-eight inch bust of this
season would have been marked forty
inches year ago.
1t is largely in the manner of cut
ting. The long low shoulder seam
makes the bust fuller and there is
certain shapeliness to the bust which
makes the figure seem broader. All
the waists have Gibsonian lines and
there is less fullness at the belt line
and great deal more across the bust.
The coats share this same popularity
and the newest of the coats are i'm

~ Ii Europe is at work upon the

4 many. 1T is not every day that
q future Empress -narries," confded
one modiste to another as she ordered
her work girls TO put an extra row OF
hemstitehing in the ruffes of a deep
green taffeta gown.
Gowns have been ordered from all
over and each country is to furnish its
speciality.
From America the Princess will pro-
cure her sailor hats and her washable
shirt waists. The firm which has this
contract in hand will send the first
spring shipments Of these goods.
And from the United States she will
procure her shoes. All her dainty
house slippers-and the Princess has
the tiny foot Of the Russians-will
come from the United States. Here
also she will procure her pretty art
nouveau silks, and she will get her
belts here. Surely a long distance to
come for ones trousseau, but nowhere
else can one find ones own specialties
as in America.
Then from London the Princess will
procure her tailor-made dresses. All
the beautifully fitted cloth gowns will
come from London. And from Paris
she will get her hats. Her embroider-
les viii come from Japan and her lin
laces Of ireland and France. And her
evening gowns will be made in Vienna,
that home Of the artistic dressmaker.
For her trimmings she will visit Ber-
lin, and particularly for her bead work.
Here she will get all the pretty little
odds and ends which are of such great
assistance in the designing Of a hand
some gown, and which the women of
1Serlin make so deftly. And with these
the Princess viii manage To secure as
fine a trousseau as can be got together
in the wide, wide world.
There is a story whispered about
that the Kaiser, anxious to secure a
handsome outfit for his future daugh-
ter-in-iaw, offered TO set aside a sum
for her troCsseau. But this was firmly
though kindly refused by the Duchess
OF Mecklenburg- -Schwerin, mother of
the Princess, on the ground that it was
wholly unnecessary. The Duchess, by
the way, is one of the handsomest
women in Europe and by far the best
dresser in royal circles. AS Russian
Grand Duchess she was known for the
magnIhcence of her wardrobe. 1t was
she who conceived the idea of having
one gown made in each capital of Eu-
rope. And this is being carried out
faithfully, each modiste making a gown
which shall be ideal. The Paris gown
is a fluffy creation in pink and black,

plentifully than the proverbial flowers
of May. Seal brown and sorrel brown
are used together.
But whatever be your suiting, let it
be soft wool. And it is undoubtedly
smart to choose something with hairy
camers hair goods that are moderate in
price and there is all the family of
zibelines. One can surely find some
thing in these, or. If one prefers to do
so. there is always serge to fall back
upon.
Fine Materials for Suitings-
Serge and cameIs hair, zibeline and
broadcloth are all very fine for the win
ter shirt waist suit And there is
another material. And this is the soft
fancy wool goods that lie upon every
counter. There is no special name for
this goods. 1t might be a cashmere
were it little lighter and it might be
a camel's hair were it little woolier.
1t is simply a fancy wool goods and
just as pretty as it can be for the win
ter shirt waist suit.
How to Make Your Own Gown.
Now as to the making up of your
gown. Be sure to make it a two-piece
suit. Let the lower part be a skirt and
let it be tight around the hips and full
around the foot. The box-plaited skirts
are excellent. Let the box plaits be
very small all the way around the hips
and let them be stitched fiat, right
knees. From the knees let the skirt
flare nicely This is both sensible and
fashionable.
Let the upper part of your suit con-
sist of a shirt waist. 1t should be made
upon the accepted shirt waist models,
rather loose in front and very tight in
the back and on the hips. Below the
waist there should be a little skirt
coming down just over the hips. Or
the coat can be little longer, as long
as a Louis XIV coat.
The shirt waist suit, when made with
a little skirt like this, very closely re-
sembles a coat and skirt suit. And.
OF very cold days a washable shirt
waist can be worn underneath. Made
in blue camel's hair cloth and cut so
as to be open at the throat, such a
suit is considered one of the smartest
of the season.
J And, speaking of winter shirt waist
suits. one must mention again the new
shirt waists that have been made for
the royal bride. Princess Cecilia. The
Princess, who has just seen her eigh-
teenth birthday, is devoted to the shirt
waist, and one of her prettiest suits
is made of brown brOadcloth, with fit
ted skirt and shirt waist. A Louis XIV
skirt is fitted to the shirt waist. And
this costume will be one of the smart
est in the royal trousseau.
The New London Coat
All England is wearing the seven
eighths cloak. 1t comes almost to the
heels ard it is made of melton, serge,
broadcloth and heavy mems suiting.
1t is masculine looking coat when un-

trimmed but it can De given many
feminine touches.
A seven-eighths broadcloth coat OF
deep brown was faced with white satin
with a wide band of antique lace COW
ering the satin. The collar was
square affair in Persian cloth and the
cuffs were made of Persian Great an
tique silver buttons trimmed the front.
Gray is worn great deal. as well as
brown.
1t was old Grimes who used to wear
an old gray coat all buttOned down be-
fore. And the woman Of to-day is copy
ing him. Her newest cloak is in pave
ment gray and it is buttoned from the
chin to the floor or almost to the floor.
It's buttons are handsome metal but
tons and it's trimmings are gorgeous
effects in Roman, in Armenian. in Hun
garian and Scottish plaid Many are
the different kinds Of goods used to
trim these gray cloalls and there is no
limit to either the color or the variety
of material One handsome gray cloak
was trimmed with medallions in red,
yellow and blue.
What did women do before the Per-
sian and other Oriental stuffs came in?
along for cuffs? What did they do for
collars and belts, for stocks and lin
ings, for facings and for trimmings?
How did they manage to make effective
vests and by what manner OF means
die they contrive the cunning little
yoke effects and the gorgeous appIiques
which are so much the style this sea-
son?
The importation of the Persian stuffs
marked a wonderful advance in the ar
tistic quality Of woman's dress, and
when the domestic manufacturers took
it UP ard outrivaIed the foreign makes,
then, indeed, the results were fine.
One can now at very little price buy
enough handsome silk in the wonder
full Oriental colors to strap a gown, TO
pipe it. to trim it with bands and head
ings and to make the neatest of vests
and cuffs. Or one can go in more heav-
lily and make the gown largely OF this
material
A woman who is known for her taste
in dress is wearing a suit all in pave
ment gray. There is a gray cloth suit
with skirt that is tight around the hips
and fiaring around the foot Over this
falls a three-quarter gray coat, but
toned with handsome silver buttons.
And. then, there Is a pavement gray
felt hat, rather fioppy In its outlines
and trimmed at the side with q bow OF
black silk. A pair OF long gray gloves
completes this costume.
A very becoming suit Is in green
serge. strapped with brown silk and
trimmed with mink for winter wear.
Green and brown make very smart

There is a pretty combination which
IS becoming very popular Gray is

For walking up Fifth avenue OF a
morning when all the world of fashion
is out for its constitutional. there come

compliment to the Kaiser, whose favor

all its shades. and Princess Cecilia has
ordered that it be the keynote to her
trousseau. One lovely gown is all Of
blue spotted net over blue silk, while
the bodice is in blue taffeta, with net
over it.
THE Princess, who is very young,
will wear her first trained dresses after
her marriage. One charming carriage
dress is in military blue, trimmed with
pipings of Oriental silk. There is
vest of Oriental goods and, for a coat,
the Princess viii wear a handsome
Louis XIV coat with long tails and
handsome stiff cuffs lined with scarlet
Many Of her gowns have a touch of
scarlet 1t may be only in the buttons,
or in the facings, or in the pipings, or
perhaps there is the slightest touch of
scarlet in the lining, visible only when
the skirt is lifted or when walking. But
II is a fact that the scarlet note is seen
in almost everything.
THE Princess wears the fashionable
English seven-eighths coat. This coat
is not so fashionable in America, where
a shorter coat is more to the liking Of
the active American girl. But in France
and England and in Germany it is the
coat of the year.
What will the Princess do in the
matter of sleeves?" you ask.
Most of her gowns are made with
high shoulder puffs slightly modified in
various ways. One of them has the puff
caught around the arm by a ribbon
tied in bow. Another has the puff
tucked and brought in tightly to the
arm And another has lace set into the
puff. making it less pronounced.

have been generous to the Princess and
so have the Russians. and it is likely
that she will take into Germany the
handsomest trousseau ever given a roy

has sent to Russia requesting the Czar
to send her the laces. which are hers
