The Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce and some of her lead

resolution denying that their city
was in the earthquake belt that
did such great damage to San Fran,

Los Angeles was as safe from all
danger Of earthquakes as any local

nounce all reports as false and
misleading.

1.-THE board is of the opinion
that the improvement of Red river
has not progressed to the exsent
sufficient to justify the permanent
improvement of the tributary
streams of the raft region, and con-
siders it doubtful if Cypress bayou
were improved in accordance with
the project that it would be avail
able for navigation the eight
months estimated. The board
therefore concured in the opinion
of the district officer and division
engineer that the improvement of
Cypress bayou and the channels
connecting Shreveport, La, with
PATTERSON, Texas, is not at present
worthy of being undertaken by the
United States"
The above is taken from the
reviewing boards report. If Red
river from Shreveport to the Mis-
sissippi is not navigable for twelve
months in the year, why is it not?
Yet Shreveport is water point
and has all the advantages of one
Is this justice? Why do not the

either making Red river navigable
the entire year or abandon it. 1t

with the following from the Capt.
"The present commercial impor-
tence Of Jefferson would not in
my opinion justify any thing like
the expenditure necessary to rem
der the waterway to Shreveport
navigahle, nor do I believe that
the prospective commerce which
the improvement might. develop
would justify it. I have TO report
therefore that in my opinion the
Cypress bayou and l&kea are not
worthy of further improvement by
the Uuited States"

ed by the different counties is
away off. So is Com. Co)quit
Some body is wrong. Appeal to
the rivers and harbors committee
to say which is under the facts,
as presented square deal.
The JIMPLECUTE did not know
that the law required engineers to
read the future and forecast com
mercial coming events, and write
the future of townsville on the
order of clairvoyant. The Capt
says he does not believe the pros,
pective commerce which the i'm
provement might develop would
Justify it. This is putting it pretty
strong, Some one has said: "No
one knows what tomorrow may
bring forth" No exception in this
is made to any one. 1t is straight
shot. If it has been changed as to
a favorite few it has escaped us.
The JIMPLEcUTE predicts the Capt
is as far off in this prediction as he
was IN the fact the commerce
would not justify it. No town or
city is given navigation for its local
trade, it is for the territory it bene,
fits. The Capt should know this,
if he does not. If Jefferson only

"Just as Good"
Paint

You never hear of paint better than
Pure White Lead and Pure Linseed Oil.
'Just as good" is what they say. Pure
White Lead and Pure Linseed Oil are
acknowledged to be the standard by which
all paints are measured.
The slsillful painter invariably prefers to
use it, and mir it himself. He knows that
his business reputation is best built by the
use of that paint which will give yoa the
most satisfactory results.
He knows Pure White Lead wears evenly,
and when ground in Pure Linseed Oil has

There is nothing so simple as
boring square hole, and yet it was
only discovered seven years ago how
to do it. A hollow chisel Of the
form Of a square is made Of the size
desired and then a bit is put in it.
The bit runs little ahead of the
chisel and cuts out a round hole,
leaving only the corners for the
chisel. The same force that pushes
the bit will push the chisel and so
the hole is square when it is finish

OF soft white satin stitched on both edges
and very slightly fulled at the top, while
the bottom was free from the ffounce.
The fulness was 40 little emphasized
that the effect was almost that OF plain
bands. Similar bands ran round the body
OF the blouse and in continued lines around
the sleeves, and there we're also little satin
bands across the front between the shoulder
trimming and below the lace guimpe.
Over the shoulders was arranged the only
pretentious trimming Of the frock, and 1t
was simple enough to be readily arranged.
Wide bands of TRAVERSE pin tucking were
the foundation for the broad shoulder
straps, ending at the bust line in front and
at a like point in the back. Exquisite oval
medallio Of lace formed the rounded ends
of these shoulder straps, and similar me-
dallons we're set along the length OF the
bands, very little tucking being Vi ible.
