so. and the readers of The News will
have to bear with the frequent re-

NORTHWEST PROSPEROUS.

New York. Aug 15.-The Herald
says this morning.
j. j. Hill who arrived in this city
yesterday from the west is of the
opinion that shareholders in that
property can rest content with seven
per cent dividends Mr. Hill was
asked for his opinion regarding the
movement under way by the great
railway arrangements. especially the
Hartman and Pennsylvania inter
ests to inaugurate series Of in
creased dividends: AS I'm not in
terested in their properties l don t
think I'm called upon to comment
on their plans. The Great Northern
is paying seven per cent and | think
any stakeholder should be satisfied
with the dividend rate
Regarding an entrance into Seattle
by the Union Pacific, Mr.. Hill said:
Il simply opposed the proposed
method of entering the city 1t was
a question of grade crossings and
such matters -
Mr.. Hill said the Northwest is in
a prosperous condition and that crops
are large and business conditions
generally good. There is not so
much agricultural territory left for
development in the U. s." said he,
and consequently population is be-
coming more concentrated. This is
helping the railroads to show better
result BY the way can you deny
offhand any rumors that the Great
Northern or any other road with
which I'm identified has purchased
such and such a road. When we
desire to enter a new territory we
consider it best policy to build our
own lines. There's nothing in the
story that we've bought the Dakota
Midland. | don't even know the To-
cation of the property. 1t is said we
intend to build a canal to Greenland
but l can state that we have not yet
decided on that plan. And there's
nothing to announce on the ore deal. "

1t has been said that Upton Sin
elairs purpose in writing The Jungle
was to instruct the world regarding
Socialism and draw attention to labor
conditions He now bitterly COM
plains that his intent has either
gone astray or he is muchly misun-
derstood. However, could he hope
to reach our hearts and minds by
nauseating our stomachs? In some
quarters it is rumored that his friend
Tom Lawson is directly responsible
for this method of reforming through
garbage literature and the willing
ness to sacrifice even national credit
for cheap notoriety. l must contend
that the system of indiscriminate
condemnation, because some men are
rascals and conduct their business
along Illegal lines, savors strongly
of Mr.. Lawson OF Boston.

pleasing color scheme, however, that
is promised much favor in the fall Is
the use of two fabrics in a costume
Of the same shade, but of different
textures-for instance a frock of

with lustrous effects, possibly ribbon.
The color tone in a combination of
this kind is very chic and smart.
Little taffeta coats built on empire,

black taffeta they can be worn with any

coats are extremely fetching carried
out in shirred effects with an inner
covering. One would hardly call it a
lining of delicate null embroideries or
all over Iaces designed to protect the
dainty lingerie blouses underneath.
Tiny round pockets of embroidery
