FriIIs of Fashion.


Sets of chemisette and elbow sleeves TO

season are as pretty as they are useful,

One Of the newest devices in the way

This is none other than silk lounce, In

Three-piece suits are always suitable for

SETS especially with the high cuffs so much

The laudable desire to get rid of super
huous underwear has resulted In very
wide adoption of combination garments
which are far from being the hideous Gre
alton devised by early dress reformers.
The new garments are of fine materials
and are cut so skillfully that the size OF
the wearer, If she be stout is materially
decreased.
Another device whereby the apparent size
is diminished is seen in a princess petit
coat of taffeta or lightweight satin. For
evening wear these petticoats are developed
in all the beautiful pale shades, and they
are shaped in the waist with special ref
erence to low-necked bodices. The skirts
are trimmed as deliberately with lace and

the wearer may dictate.
All the talk about returning to business
and crinolines becomes nonsense when the
increasing nationality of fashion is OBJ

IF old women were content to suffer in
order to be beautiful, but within late
years there has sprung up such large
class of women who have learned that
personal beauty, while extremely desirable,
Is not the only goal Of womans existence,
that fashion itself has been modified TO

the young woman of the eighteen-sixties
ever had courage to mount horse. Her
riding habit was a cumbersome affair,
Weighing heavily, while the danger of

barely to the instep and is lighter in
weight than the average walking skirt.
In warm weather most women wear linen
or khaki. In the country such a skirt Is
worn with an ordinary linen shirtwaist
but in town the entire habit is usually
worn. Sailor hats or soft Panama outing
shapes are worn in summer quite as much
as ordinary riding hats. In the semi-rural
depths of Central park morning rides are
taken in most informal costumes. Skirts

The Rride,s Garter.

The recent royal wedding in which the
German crown prince and the Grand
Duchess Cecilia of -Schwerin
were the high contracting parties has been
described with such fullness and even
prolixlty, in letters and cable dispatches,
that little remains to be added that can
possibly interest the public, except, It may
be, one feature Of the service known as
the distribution OF the princess garter.
This unique and curious ceremony, says
Leslie's Weekly, seems to have escaped
the attention Of historians Of the AFFAIR
generally The distribution of the garter
Is a quaint survival of olden times, when
the ministers and ladies Of the royal house
hold enjoyed the privilege of escorting the
couple to the bridal chamber. Now this
ceremony takes the form of a torchllght
procession around the ballroom to the door
where the happy pair make their exit. At
the wedding Of the crown prince the pro-
cesslon was headed by Prince Won Buelow,
and at the door strips OF the same silk
as the brides garter, specially embroidered
with the date OF the wedding, were dis
tributed among the guests as mementoes
Of the occasion.

CareIessness of shopping Mothers.

mother when her little one Is brought in

the will of the Lord in such cases is largely

First Permanent Road.

J.E. Banton, supervisor OF road
district No. I3, came out from
Alsea last Monday for the purpo,e sc
o: taking a road grader back with
him. 1t required four horses to
haul the grader and Mr.. Banton
was accompanied by Hardy Nc
Cormack as an assistant in getting
the grader to Alsea.
This is the first time a grader
was ever in Alsea. The county
court has authorized Mr.. Banton
to make what may be termed the
first permanent road ever built in
Alsea. Work will be started next
week. The road to be built will
begin at the store and run a mile
east and west.
The residents of. Alsea are uI
and doing. Last fall, or early
winter, they voted special S mil
tax for the express purpose %
road burlding and the court wa'
duly informed for action on the
matter by Jan. I, 1905. The
amount of money thus raised 70,
road purposes amounts to between
$7oo and $500.
This is Mr.. Banton's secont
year as supervisor of district No
I3 and the condition of the road
in his district show the wisdom
of the court in selecting super

THE CAT IS OUT.
What Is to Be Done With the
Brick Stable.-Guessing
Contest Closed.

For many months the curious
have been guessing as to what
kind of business was to occupy
the brick stable when Fruit &
Waggenervacated. Some months
ago w. P. Laferty purchased
the property and gave out tie
information that he had a renter
so soon as he could get possession
of the property and have the
building remodeled.
Fruit & Waggener had their
auction sale last Wednesday and
disposed of the greater part of
their fixtures, horses, carriages,
ETC., and are in a position to va
cate shortly. When they move
Mr.. Laferty will at once start
remodeling the building. The
floors will be torn out and the
earth beneath excavated, after
which the ground will be packed
with lime. Everything will be
fumigated and placed in a first
class condition. The walls will
be lined with pulp board and
cemented. A magnificent glass
front will be placed in the build
ing. In fact, when the improve
ments are completed there will
be nothing lacking that money
can buy. All traces of former
stable will have been obliterated
there will be remaining not a
thing that will indicate to any o1
! the senses of man that the struct-
ure was ever a stable.
Now, all of this is being done
for Hollenberg & Cady, the we'll
known furniture firm. Since
going into business in this city
they have enjoyed a very salts
factory patronage and trade ha.
grown to such an extent thai
they feel justified in seeking more
commodious quarters. When al
is completed and they have NOV
ed into their new building, they
will have everything to do with
| and Corvallis will have anothe
up-to-date establishment that will
be a credit to the CITY.

House Burned.

About S o'clock Tuesday after
noon the FIRE bell sounded, the
alarm and citizens gathered in
short order from every direction.
The residence OF R. G. Kiger
proved to be the scene of the con-

was soon on the spot.
The fire started from a defective

out the attic when the fire boys
got there. Willing hands assist

taken out.
There was no means of getting
into the attic and it was consider

roof and send water in from
above. The roof where they
were obliged to cut through was
of tin and it required consider.

Western Oregon Vetch.

We are in receipt of bulletin
from OAC. by DR.. James Witty
combe and Prot. A. l.. Knis1ey,
on the subject of vetch and re-
produce the following:
The common vetch (vicia sativa)
is becoming one OF the most pop
ula foliage plants grown in West
tern Oregon. There are perhaps
IA thousand tons of vetch hay
produced in this section now to
one eight or ten years ago. This
plant is hardy, enjoys wide
range Of growth and is rich in
protein. Its palatability is also a
feature as all classes of stock are
exceedingly fond of it, either in
the form of hay or green foliage.
When the virtues of this plant
are more generally known to ag-
riculturists the area of its cul-
ture will be appreciably extend
ed. In addition to its value as a
stock food, it is evidently an ac-
tive nitrogen gatheler. Its roots
are unusally abundantly supplied
with nodules and the general in
creased crop production following
its growth is good evidence of its
value as a soil improver.
There seems to be a peculiar
| ly wide variation in the protein
content of individual plant. Ar
investigation conducted by ths
! Chemist of the Station in 1907
indicated that this variation il
the water-free plant ranged from
i 1919 per cent to 1897 per cen
total protein. Thus it woult
seem that this plant presents ;
very important field. of work fo
the development of race 0
vetch rich in protein.

MEECAN CALLED
OUT FOREVER
Great Pitcher of Days Gone
by Passes Away at Home
After a Brief Illness

The baseball world lost one Of its
greatest stars on Tuesday afternoon
when Pete Meegan, better known as
Steady Pete" was called out for the
last time. Twenty years ago Meegan
was one Of the idols Of the baseball
diamond. He starred in many a game
against such great ones as John Clark
son, Goldsmith, Rathbone. Charley
Sweeney and others, who have long
since been lost to public view.
Pete Meegan was born in this city
fOrty-two years ago, and like many
other great players gained his early
experience in the sand lots Of the Mis-
sion district. His first rise to fame
came when he Joined the wonderful old
Haverley team and pitched it to vic
tory time after time. When Meegan
beat the wOrld-renowned Louisville
COlonels on the Alameda grounds in
the early eighties his name and fame
were heard in every town that boasted
a baseball team. The LOuisvilles were
invincible TIL they faced the curves Of
Meegan. Twenty thousand cheering
fans watched the struggle. The quiet
suburban village never knew another
such demonstration as the one that fol-
lowed the dethroning OF the Colonels
After pitching for the Haverleys in
this city for a number Of years Meegan
went 70 the National League and the
American Association. He played with
st. Louis. Philadelphia and other great
mines Of the day and there won the dis
tinction Of being one or the greatest
tWirlers of his day.
Meegan's great drop was the wonder
Of the baseball world at the time. The
finest batsmen in the business were
fooled when they went against 1t. Pete
used to get hit hard at times, but his
steadiness always stood by him, and
thus he gained the nickname of
Steady Pete"
Meegan retired from the game more
than ten years ago and since that time
has made his home in this city. He
made a competency in baseball
The dead pitcher is survived by a
