VELVET and satin brocade and

W popular. but cloth never goes out
of fashion. and, in fact, no thor
ough wardrobe is ever complete
without at least two cloth gowns, SO that
really 1t ought not to be classed with the
other materials This year it would seem as
though it were to be more fashionable than
ever. for SO many different styles Of cos
tunes look better made up in it than in
any other material. Besides which there are
so, many different patterns and qualities
that it is possible to secure always a vari-
ETY. in color and design.
The figured cloths, under which head
cheviots and tweeds are included, are the
most suitable for the every day general

she can get along and which can be worn
In every kind of weather and is not in
5ured by rain or snow. This year there
are innumerable designs and colors to
choose from. The plaids and checks and
stripes in two shades or more of gray are
very attractive and extremely smart. They
can be made without any trimming except
ing on the collar, or they can have con-
siderable braid or folds of velvet The
skirts must be short and hang well; the
coats must be medium length short.
must fit well. and the whole effect of thc
costume must be smart, while being Sc
we're. A waist to match the skirt in this
material Is not a very good thing, it is
apt TO be too warm and heavy to wear
under jacket of the same or a fur coat.
But there are any number of smart blouses
that look we'll with this sort of gown, and
after all it is one intended for street wear
only. The Scotch plaids, especially those
in green and blue. are chosen in prefer
ence TO any other color. except the fash
1onable two-toned grays. These two-toned
grays are not always becoming, but they
can be relieved by a touch OF red or of
cerise velvet, or a bright blue, which is
extremely becoming.
There are several different fashions this
year in the walking skirts for these same
cloth costumes. The pleated skirt Is an
always becoming model, but it cannot be
called new. and fashionable women de-
mand novelty in their clothes as well as
their amusements. SO that there are a
great many variations of the original
theme. For instance, there will be double
box pleats in front and at the back or
below the yoke around the upper part of
the skirt there will be a succession OF

Of collar is the fur edgings which many
of them have.
This trimming, which is used all the
edges, is made of very narrow bands of
fur and gives a soft and becoming touch
to the neckpiece One such collar, made
of brown chiffon velvet. was edged with
tiny bands Of black fur and tied with vel
vet ribbon, trimmed with innumerabe lit
tie tabs of the fur. A dark blue silk coll

Other sorts of collars-those in the regu-
lar ruche shape and made of chiffon or

rather unusual color combinations These
collars are short. reaching only around
the neck and being tied with narrow velvet
or taffeta ribbon. They are made of the
iridescent chiffon or net in several harmo-

Modish Gloves.
From the Taller.
AS our sleeves are still to be somewhat

are being shown in variety of warmer

conceivable tone OF gray and drab and

How to Choose a Tender Turkey.

Since to be without turkey on Thanks

great American festival 1t behooves the
good housewife to be well up in turkey lore:

juicy and tender as a spring chicken. while

LOW BIRTH RATE OF FRANCE.

Even optimists are scandalized by
the latest birth statistics of France
S07,291, against an average of S46,246,
achieved between 1894 and 1903.
Worse still, French mortality in
creases almost as much as the birth
rate decreases. The last statistics
prove that it increased from 29S,721
per year to 302,623.
At the same time Germany in
creases Is for 1000 inhabitants a
year; that is IA more than France.
Today A French provinces, or de-
partments. report more deaths than
births. In old Burgundy and Cas-
cogne three people die for every two
babies born. This means that after
the birth of two children the parents
are carried out by their feet and that
one of the two children dies without
issue. Thus our national economists
explain the figures.
AS to the o-children-system, it is
not as literally followed even in
France as some people assert: The
average marriage is blessed with
births to the amount of 2.7 in France
and in England with 81. In Germany
it is a little higher still.-Denver
Post.

Industries spring into fullarmed
strength within a brief period. Con-
ditions surrounding their birth are
soon changed by progress and 1t is
unjust to the people to continue
policy after it becomes an abuse.
The Seattle News voices the right
sentiment upon the coal tariff, In
recent issue it said:
The News trusts the Commercial
club will press its recommendation
before congress for the removal of the
duty on ccal. There is no reason why
duty on coal should be continued. Il
merely affords the coal mine opera
tors of the states opportunity to
charge the people higher prices than
they should be compelled to pay for
their fuel
New England sentiment has been
against the duty on coal for a number
of years. Nova Scotia has large coal
fields which would afford a bountiful
supply of superior coal to all of New
England. but the duty prevents its
coming into the Boston market as It
ought to come and the result is that
the anthracite coal trust of Pennsyl-
vania is receiving 50 ton more for its
coal in New England than it should
Coal is much higher in this state
than the cost of mining and transpor-
tation warrant With an opportunity
for the people to secure the superior
coal of Vancouver Island at a nominal
price the coal question in this city
would be solved for years to come.
Duty on coal is one of the features
of the present tariff law that has long
outlived its usefulness, Its only pur-
pose now is to afford higher prices
for the coal trust and make living that
much higher for the masses. 1t should
be removed and any action that can
have an effect upon congress should
be taken.

SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE.

Not long ago william Allen White
wrote of Scribner's: Between the
magazines that are using the lever
of their circulation to pry up the
world and those which have nothing
of current interest later than lSl2'
there lies a fine pathway for some
magazine for people who are now on
earth who are not excited about the
proximity of the demnition bow-wows
to the orbit of this sad old earth, and
in that path Scribners Magazine
seems to be walking in solitary state.
It's fiction is particularly sane and
wholesome. It lacks the Miss Nancy
pucker Of the fiction of the maga-
zines of prunes and prisms, and holds
the vigor of the fiction Of the more
strenuous magazines without the
slightest rawness. Scribner's is q
great and good magazine and should
be in every American home"

THE MENACE OF THE TOWER.


In storied Venice, down whose rlppl-
ing streets
The stars so hurrying, and the white
moon beats,
Stood the great Bell Tower, fronting
seas and skies
Fronting the ages, drawing all mems
eyes;
Taunting the lightning. tearing the
flying cloud.
It marked the hours for Venice; all
mon said
Time cannot reach to bow that lofty
head:
Time. that shall touch all else with
ruin, !nust
Foimear to make this shaft confess
its dust;
Yet all the while, in secret, without
sound,
The fat worms gnawed the timbers
underground.
The twisting worm, whose epoch is
Caverned its way into the mighty
tower;
And suddenly it shook, It swayed 1t
broke,
And fell in darkening thunder at one
stroke.
The strong shaft, with an angel on
the crown,

down!
And so 1 fear, my country, not the
hand
That shall hurl night and whirlwind
on the land:
fear not Titan traitors who shall
rise
To stride like Brocken shadows on our
skies
Not giants who shall come to over
throw
And send on Earth an Had of woe.
I fear the vermin that shall under.

shrine
The Worm of Greed, the fatted Worm
of Ease,
And ell the crawling progeny of

The vermin that shall honeycomb the

And walls of state in unsuspecting

THE STATE FAIR DEFICIT.

In the report of the state fair board,
Just filed with the secretary of state
it is shown that, owing to the exces-
sive rains during fair week this year,
and the corresponding light attend
ance, a deficit exists in the finances
Of the fair board.
There is only one remedy for this
deficit and only one cure for the per-
petual menace of the Willamette val
ley rains: HOLD THE STATE FAIR
IN PENDLETON, WHERE THE
Sun SHINES 200 DAYS IN THE
YEAR.
The rainless harvests of Umatilla
county are proverbial. The long con-
tinued sunshiny weather of the au-
tumn season is one of the crown jew
els in Umatilla county's casket OF
gems.
Let US have the state fair in east
ern Oregon. This is the largest Sec
tion CT the state by all odds. Within
a few years IT will contain more peo'
pie and more wealth than Willamette
valley. Besides, it would do the peo
pie Of western Oregon good to come
into the sunshine for week, to attend
a state fair in Pendleton.
Let us cure the deficit permanently

An instance of the injustice of the
present tariff is shown in the linotype
trade. There is tariff duty of As
per cent on linotypes. The Mergen-
thaler people are the only American
manufacturers of linotypes. Owing to
the tariff charges it is cheaper for
Americans to buy American linotypes
in France and return them to this
country than to buy, first hand, of
the American manufacturer in New
York. This is being done by many
large publishers of the east, to whom
the purchase of dozen or more lino-
types means an enormous expenditure,
the machines ranging in price from
$4,000 to $500 each. The Mergentha-
Ter company charges Americans more
than it does foreigners. The tariff
makes this possible.

TAKING NOTICE OF OREGON.

Within the past two years Oregon
has received more advertising than
any other western state. Three things
have served TO bring the state promi-
ncntIy before the world-the Lewis
and Clark fair, Hartman and the
land frauds.
The Lewis and Clark fair stimulat-
ed railroad advertising throughout the
east. This advertising appealed strict
" to the tourist and homeseeker.
Harriman's appropriation of mil
lions for railroad and extension in the
state called the attention of the fl
nsncial world to the vast extent and
resources of Oregon and instantly
half a dozen transcontinental lines
directed their attention this way.
The land frauds have filled the
newsnaperse and magazines and have
stimulated the reading public to fol-
low the Oregon cases closely. and in
this way the literary folk, the sensa-
tion-lovers and the general public
have been given a continuous pano-
rama of Oregon for the past two
years.

1t is to he hoped the people of Pen

now being completed, sufficiently from
the very start to warrant the company
in operating the plant from the time
it is completed. The benefits of gas
as light and fuel are so apparent that
it should require but little education
or missionary work, to induce Pendle-
ton to take advantage of this oppor-
