Unstable choker is of embroidery.
Most of the costumes of this genre, as we'll as
the lingerie waists, have chokers to match, ana
there seems to be a revival of interest in the
choker attached to the gown. Many Of the
lingerie bOdices are made to close in the back,
which makes this fashion practical. According
to the advices Of some of the chemise makers,
the starched collar will be only with
severe morning suits and shirt waists, the
lingerie collar being on the whole the better
style. There are to be seen some most exquisite
lingerie work. The cuffs are very deep, from
five TO six inches broad. A good many Of the
summer models show a loose, short sleeve. which
is softened by the addition Of lingerie ruffles.

MODISH SUMMER MATERIALS.
Summer materials show a most fascinating
collection Of linens, particularly the rough-sur-
faced goods, which include not only all the soft
colors found in silks and woods, but many OF
the plaids and mixed designs. Perhaps the most
modish material for the spring is a checked
black and white wool, and this same cool, be-
coming combination comes in the summer ia b.

The Annual Corn Contest.

For the past four years Mr.. Bear
has been conducting very successful
corn contests, which have not only
been an advertisement for his store
but a source of general benefit to the
public, inasmuch as they have an
opportunity to inspect the good quail
ties Of the best corn, to study how to
select and preserve seed, etc. The
result of the unusual agitation on the
subject of corn from all sides the past
few years has resulted in great in
crease in the crop and will the more

Mr.. Bears contest opens October
goth and closes Nov. I'd, at noon. He
will give two cash prizes,
For best four ears Of corn. $40. 90
For second best ears Of corn. 800
Competent judges will he secured,
and prizes awarded without knowing
by whom the corn was raised, and
besides the prize winners, the judges
will name four or FIVE other entries of
special merit.
1t is hoped that the farmers of the
county generally will make selection
from their fields and enter the contest.
1t requires but little effort and the
Of having display of corn
from all parts of the county on ex-
hibition is obvious.

The more consideration given to the

one realizes that Japan really got much
more than she went to war for and
more than she asked for before the
deliberations Of the peace ENJOYS took

treaty she secured railroad lines worth
$3.50. 600. 900. coal mines worth not
less than $3.50. 900. 600. and fishing
rights that will be worth $4,000. 900

asked at first.

In riding over some of the trans con-
tinental roads one is struck by the de-
creasing number OF freight cars about
the stations until the lumber country
is reached, although eastern Oregon
and Washington are soon going to
claim an immense number of cars to
haul the wheat crop to the western
coast. Forty bushels of wheat per
acre has been threshed this year, al
though the harvest has been hardly
finished. This wheat is sacked and
piled in the fields or on platforms,
awaiting shipment, as is the custom
in the west. Thousands of sacks can
be seen in a few hours ride through
the wheat belt. 1t seldom rains in
August, or early September in that
country. -Four and six-horse teams,
with hundred bushels or more to
load, are seen coming in over the
dusty roads-horses, men and loads
all the same dusty gray color. Most
freight trains coming east are through
trains, as little grain is hauled to-
ward the rising sun after crossing
the great divide. The last few years
has seen immense warehouses built
at the western port terminals, and
they will be used To their utmost
capacity the present season.

The demand from the city of Port
land, Ore. and the railroads centering
there is for a thirty foot channel from
the Columbia river through the bar at
its mouth. The jetty has not been a
success in the Columbia. The bar is
almost pure sand, the water extremely
cold, and the shifting of the sand and
the slow growth of the willows have
rendered almost futile the attempts to
jetty channel. There will have to
be lot of "dental'' work done in
the mouth of the Columbia before a
thirty foot channel is made.

The trade which has been worked
up with China and other countries
of the far east in the past few years
has been of immense advantage to
freight interests Of the trans-contin-
entail railroads, and has made possible
a decrease on the lower classes of
freight. Lumber and shingles from
Puget Sound are to be found in near
ly all Iowa lumber yards. A few
years ago they could not get into the
state on account of the cost of trans
portation. The trend of rates has been
constantly downward since the ex-
ports to the Orient enabled the roads
to ship both ways, hauling loaded cars
each way instead of empties. This
class of freight is hauled at a less
price per ton per mile than any other
freight in the United States, consider
ing cost of road and equipment.

Summary of Annual Report of Superin-
tendent E.. j. Hook to State
Superintendent.

To the Public:
Having just completed my Annual
Report to the Department of Public
Instruction, and believing that every
citizen should know as much as posi-
BILE Of the purposes for which the
funds derived from public taxation
are expended l submit the following
summary of Financial and Statistical
information incorporated in the An
nual Report. l hope every one will
give it careful consideration, for he
who is not receiving his proportionate
return from this expenditure is volun-
tarily losing it by not seeing that every
child under his control, in proper
mental and physical condition is not
only enrolled, but regular in atten-
dance at the school where he is en-
titled TO attend. You will observe
that only 81 per cent of those between
FIVE and twenty.one were enrolled in
school, and only 40 per cent of the
number between fve and twenty one
were in regular attendance. The only
way to keep child interested in his
school work is to keep him regular in
attendance. You will observe that
there has been commendable pro-
gress in the matter of teachers
salaries, expenditures for repairs,
apparatus, Libraries, and setting out
trees and shrubberv, but in the matter
of percentage of attendance compared
with enrolment and the percentage
Of enrolment compared with the total
number between Ave and twenty, there
is a poor showing. The matter Of
improving along these two lines rests
wholly with the parents. The fall
and winter terms will soon open.
Parents, will you not see that YOUR
children start at the opening OF the
term aud attend regularly through
the entire term:
