BIG REDUCTION
IN FREIGHT
RATES

Freight agents of the railroads
entering this city have received
copies of the new Washington state
distance tariff recently promulgated
by the Washington railway COM
mission, and which goes into effect
October 20. The new tariff ma.
terially reduces all rates in this
state. The application of this tariff
will be extended to Idaho and Ore
gon points November Is.
The average reduction made by
the state tariff is 25 cents on a
hundred pounds. Coast and Sound
points are not included as being
of too great a distance from this
place. All intermediate points are
affected.
The new tariff contains a clause
which will also materially affect
small shipments. Heretofore the
charge made on a first class ship
ment coming below the minimum
weight was the amount quoted on
100 pounds. The new tariff says:
"In no case will the minimum
charge be less than 20 cents nor
more than the charge for 100
pounds at second class rates, un-
less the weight makes more"

Her STUNNING GOWNS COST $4.2O
BY MARION ASHE.

This Is a picture of one of the
best dressed girls in town.
And her dresses never cost more
than $3.50 to $3.50.
She makes her own clothing, and
instead of spending money on a lot
of gingerbread trimmings she puts
Ii all in on the quality of the ma
terial, reserving just enough for the
lining, etc.
When seen sauntering down the
promenade one would think she
had stepped out of the carriage of
a millionaire, so trim and stunning
is the picture she presents And
in her own words, this is how she
does it:
When the time of the year ap.
proaches for new dress | look in
the windows of the best shops in
town and get my ideas of what will
be the prevailing fashion of the
approaching season. ! always Sc
lect the style that is simple in out
line and general appearance. Five
yards of double-width material is
sufficient to make a dress of this
description for a woman of average
figure.
After selecting the style of dress
that | wish to make, | then note
the materials that are being shown
by the first-class houses. for it is
my experience that best results can
be obtained by shopping in the best
stores. Some seasons. especially
in the spring, the prettiest light
weight dress goods can be obtained
for so cents a yard. OF course, at
that rate the rest is easy, for three
yards of silk will line the Jacket.
In the fall it is more difficult to get
really desirable dress goods for
less than 81 yard, but | never pay
more than that.
THE secret of my good appear
ance is that | am very particular
about the details in the making up
of the costume. | get a pattern
from a reliable magazine, and then
with exact care ! cut and fit my
dress. rely entirely on the per-
feet cut and fit of my gown to give

AUNT P0LLY'S CORNER

Occasionally a cream sauce or
soup suddenly curdles just after
the salt has been added This
shows that the milk was not per-
fectly fresh. The safer way, when
one is uncertain of the milk, Is to
add salt just before serving the
sauce or soup.
While using celery save the
bleached leaves, the roots scraped
clean and the outside stalks, spread
these on a clean tin and set in a
warm oven. When dry they may
be powdered and packed in a glass
jar to be used to flavor soups or
sauces.
Plenty of milk plenty Of flannel,
plenty of fruit, plenty of fresh air
and plenty of exercise. If a mother
will see her children get these
things. she may be almost certain
of her little ones keeping we'll and
strong.

GENEROUS BILLY WILLIAMS
HAS COME TO WANT AT LAST

A pathetic story comes from
Topeka, a story of the most fas
cinating human interest, of unset
fish deeds, of thoughtfulness OF
others, of brilliant successes and
sad twilight hours. The man is
one who in the hey-day of his
prosperity gave freely of his for.
tune for the cause Of kindness
and for the wiping away of tears.
Today, with two of his children,
broken in health, very close upon
the verge of last resting place,
he is waiting patiently in poverty
and distress for the one clear call.
The man is Billy Williams, once
the minstrel king.
Born in ublin, the son of a
successful and wealthy physician,
he ran away from home, came to
New Orleans, and in time took up
his chosen profession. He was an
intimate Of Dan Rice, the famous
clown and acrobat Of Jim Hayes,
the dancer; of George Thompson.
who wrote "Old Black joe" and
of many other famous men of that
time; and with them Billy Williams
sang and laughed and danced him
self into the hearts of countless
thousands.
But great as was his art, 1t was
far exceeded by his generosity.
His benefactions aggregated more
than 100000. When the dark
days of the fever plague smote all
the Southland, he gave $4,000 to
the city of Memphis alone, and to
another district he sent 900 barrels
of flour, costing $4,000. He inherit
ed a fortune Of $4,000 from his
fathers estate, and with what law

name of charity. His name became
a household word, and was loved
not only in the south, but through
the civilized world. Pope Leo XIII,
deeply impressed by these acts of
almost unparalleled goodness of
heart, had struck medal of gold,
suitably inscribed, and this the
aged minstrel wears to this day.
Then his health broke. Physi-
clans ordered him west. In 1900
he went to Denver, and for several
years conducted there a theatrical
school and exchange. At last his
old trouble returned with re-
doubled malignity. Misfortunes
shove red upon him. His wife lies
between life and death in a St.
Louis hospital. Five children are
with her, and they have scarcely
the necessities OF life.
This Is the story.

MODEL FARM"
WONT WORK
HERE

G. L. Smith, secretary of the AS
ISOLATION of Inland Empire Com
mercial Clubs, has received word
from the farmer who was selected
by the government to have charge
of the model farm" to be located
near here, that he had received the
plans of the government expert for
the operation of the farm and could
not accept them. He gave as a rea-
son the fact that he could not Sc
cure intelligent labor.
The model farm" was agitated
some time ago and after strenuous
efforts on the part of the chamber
Of commerce the agricultural
officials decided to establish one
not far from this city. Their plan
was to secure a farm established
for some time and get the consent
of the owner to run it along the
lines laid out by the government.
The farm was selected. the farmer
agreed to operate it as instructed
by government expert If the
plans appeared feasible to him, and
an expert was put to work on it.
A few days ago he submitted his
plans to the farmer, whose name
has been withheld.
The tiller of the soil, in rejecting
the governments proposition, said
/ that the plans were excellent in
every detail under ordinary condi
tons, but that the labor conditions
