Crop Bulletin.

Minneapolis Tho rain was heavy
In the northern districts on the night
OF the 18th or early morning of the
14th which delayed threshing in that
section for several days. The frequent
rains have developed threshing in all
sections Shock threshlng is nearing
completion and threshing from the
stack is progressing nicely except in
northern counties Efforts were still
being made to cut the long overripe
grain in the flooded districts of the
northern counties until the heavy rain
of the 14th. when cutting was gener-
ally abandoned. Spring wheat is
yielding well in most localities. Corn
has ripened rapidly during the week
and much Of it is cut; all will be out of
danger of frost in another week. A
good cropis generally reported. Po-
tatoes are being gathered in southern
counties but are not good crop, ex-
cept in southwestern counties; rotting
is generally reported, and some blight
has occurred in east central counties.
Flowing is in progress but some fields
are still too dry to pillow. Rye seeding
is in progress. Pastures are still good
in southern counties Apples are be-
ing gathered and fairly good crop is
reported.

Much Water.

Duluth. Because of the greatest
rainfall ever known in one season in
northern Minnesota, the great reser-
voirs of the upper Mississippi now
hold il storage more water than they
have ever previously contained at this
time of year.
So says Major G. M. Derby, United
States engineer in charge of the reser-
voir system. He intimates this may
necessiate emptying the reservoirs dur
ing the winter, which would create
unusually heavy winter waterpower.
Said Major Derby:
1.-The amount of water now on hand
in the reservoirs is greater than ever
before at this time of the year. The
river, however, is now steadily falling
and the reservoirs may have to be
heavily drained before Nov. Is, when
navigation closes. The water has fall
len at st. Paul from IA feet 8 inches,
July II, to feet z inches today. If it
approaches three feet on the gage, the
reservoirs will be opened more so as to
maintain a flow of 5000 cubic feet a
second, as is necessary to maintain a
three-foot cubic measure"

dress. The bodice was we'll suited to
the skirt; fitting close in the back, the
front had a soft vest of white with
lacings of the velvet ribbon, wide at
the bust line, narrow at the girdle.
Colored laces will continue in favor,
the winter gowns have trimmings of
colored lace and of openwork embroid-
cry on the material, following the rage
for broiderie Anglaise. We had
brought to our notice an exquisite gray
crepe de chine, trimmed with broad
band of gray crochet lace set in close
to the bottom, and having bolero of
gray lace. The French appreciate the
combination of gray and yellow, and
the girdle worn with this gown was
of yellow satin of a pale tint; there
was no harsh contrast, but COM
panionings of soft tints that was very
pleasing, appropriate to the gray color
scheme.
The openwork employed on the win
ter suits is not so expensive as 1t
might seem, the stamping machine be-
ing used to cut out the designs. 1t is
used rather lavishly, adds rich ap-
pearance to dress. There is a strong
tendency for strictly tailored effects in
suits for morning wear, but many an
afternoon gown will show long skirt
and quantity of trimming. Concern
ing sleeves, the elbow and long sleeve
vie one with the other to get ahead
but so far it is pretty even rivalry.
However. until fall days give place to
those biting ones of winter the elbow
sleeve will be much in evidence on the

house all winter.
For a demi-toilet there are many
bodices made after this fashion, fit-
ted lining, the outside smooth and close
in the back and with just little blous-
ing towards the belt in the front. The
neck is cut square in front to admit of
white or cream flufiness there. and
there is deep pointed girdle with per-
haps bolero simulated from UNDER
arm seams to shoulder.

FALL FASHION FOR MISSES.

A very sensible feature of the dress
of the school miss is the wash waist
and wash guimpe. The heavy cottons
are good and warm, and lighter weight
| linens can be worn all winter over a
| long-sleeved corset cover. Like their
mothers, the waists for older girls are
somewhat on the tailored order, but a
few have frills, a fashion put forth by
London tailors.
The favorite outdoor costume for
young girls for common wear is the
long-coat suit Of heavy wool; of serge,
| cheviot, fancy weave, or mayhap broad
cloth. For dressy wear perhaps the
| young lady will consider she must have
| short coat suit. Desirable separate
coats are of seven-eighths length, but
the short coat continues in favor for
the more elaborate street costume.
There is much buying Of separate
skirts for the school girl. and these are
made very plain, wholly untrimmed.
! The same materials are employed as
| used in the suits. Mohair waists prom
| Use to be very popular, and there are
exquisite ones of white on display. Mo-
hair school dresses will be worn all
winter; they have the advantage of
easily shaking off the dust.
An attractive little frock for best is
made Of soft cashmere or henrietta
| There is narrow, plain panel at the
front of the skirt, and the rest falls
in largish pleats. The waist is sur
plice, the fullness confined in pleats.
| With variety in the chemisettes this
little costume will pass muster for
many occasions.
The right kind of schoolgirl does not
| care to bother much about clothes,
wants something she can throw on
without waste of time: and the allen
veloping wrap she looks upon as true
friend. The one here illustrated is of
blue cloth, the color little brighter
than navy; the fullness at the back is
fitted by broad box pleats ornamented
with several rows of black silk stitch
ing; large dome-shaped buttons of dull
gilt relieve the plainness of the front.
For the girl at the awkward age"
anywhere from IL to IA, the makers of
children's clothes are now preparing
waists that have a flexible featherbone
in the under-arm seams. This does
not at all interfere with freedom of
movement, and transforms a shapeless
blouse into one with suggestion of
graceful curve. Both big girls and lit
tie girls will wear the guimpe, a clean
ly and becoming fashion. One may al
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1905-09-29

most say that every dress now made
has tucker or guimpe, and many of
them are beautifully handworked, the
doting mammas having made them
during veranda hours the past summer.
Again we would call attention to the
silky mohair shirt-waist suit for the
schoolgirl; the mohairs come in plain
materials, in hairlines and checks.
Plaids are always more or less worn by
the small fry, and signs point to a
more than usual popularity this season.
Henriettas and nuns yelling are liked
for dressy occasions, but for school
that is selected which will stand rough
wear. Some mohairs tear If a child
but rises from her desk, others wear
like iron.
School frocks, in spite of what we
said about the hand-embroidered
guimpes, are marked by extreme sim
plicity. Good materials are chosen and
those that promise durability; the cut
must be modern, the design should be
simple. This is the day when health is
exalted far above business, and in that
respect at least we have advanced.
Numbers Of one-piece frocks are
seen, worn by girls of all ages up to
10 or IL; the younger ones wear
the exaggerated long waist, the older
ones have the line at about the normal
height. Plaid and checked ginghams
and mercerized cottons are in highest
favor and make ideal frocks for the
schoolgirl.
Details OF the costume are looked
after by the sharp-eyed misses, who are
apt to scan one another's appearance
rather more closely than strict good
taste permits. Black ribbons are used
sometimes in place of regular shoe
strings, and perky little bow is fas-
tened where the vamp joins the uppers,
as well as one tied at the top of the
shoes. This is really pretty addition
to the short-skirted costume, to be
recommended especially for the young
girl that is a little lax about keeping
her footwear trim. She way try to
live up to her shoe ribbons.
In hats almost everything goes that
is picturesque. There is the Napoleon
tricorne, the quaint three-cornered
chapeau that is generally becoming.
There are Russian caps with cord and
brush at one side. And then there are
white poke bonnets profusely trimmed
with black velvet ribbon. And we shall
add right here that velvet ribbon
matching the dress is used a great deal
in the adornment of childrens dresses.

The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of $685. 900 for the
installation of the most modern and ef-
ficient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries The line between Bergen,
n. j., and Middletown, distance Of IS
miles, is to be equipped at once. For
the first 81 miles, the signals will be put
two-thirds of mile apart; for the rest
of the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart. it viii require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will be located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood Junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is tower with signals operated by
towerman, has been used as a block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed best to
install! an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will be
extended over the entire line in the future.
