Ornaments for the Hair.

In Paris the young women are
dressing their hair with tiny roses
and narrow black velvet ribbon. For
blondes a little wreath arranged a
little to one side over the left ear is
popular. while Spanish jessamine tied
with butterfly bow of silver ribbon
is often worn in front of the coil, Pink
coral chains wound in and out of dark
tresses are also very fashionable,
while the craze for insects finds its
latest novelty in a graceful dragonfiy
of spangled metal on long pin. This
quivers most realistically with every
move of its wearer's head.

Buying a Good Fortune.

-Four little green birds sat on a cage
fronted with a tray. The tray held
folded slips Of paper. A man carried
the whole. He strolled east in Grand
street, near Mulberry. A woman
swarthy Of complexion and with q
shawl drawn around her head and
shoulders, looked at the birds and
hesitated in her walk. The man, keen
to notice any indication OF trade. saw
her hesitancy.
Fortune, ladyY he asked.
The woman stopped and passed Q
coin to his hand. He lifted bird from
its perch and placed 1t on the edge OF
the tray. The bird picked up folded
slip of paper. The man took the paper
and handed it to the woman. The
woman opened 1t, read, smiled, and
passed on. The man nodded approv.
ingly.
Gave her a good fortune. did your
asked man standing by.
Sure" said the man with the birds.
"All the fortunes are good. Birds tell
no bad fortunes"
Then he smiled wisely.--New York

Large Ruches Worn.

Once again net and chiffon ruches
are to be worn, and when furs are
first laid aside is the time that q
ruching or an ostrich or marabout
boa is most necessary. This year the
ruches are all large-unusually full in
the center of the back, but slightly
narrower at the side. A net boa is
finished off with long ribbon stream
ers either of velvet or taffeta ribbon
about an inch In width. The chiffon
ruches may have streamers of the
same caught in here and there with
velvet or satin rosettes. Maine or
tulle should never be used, as the
stiffness will disappear on the first
damp day. The net may be laid on
the band in plaits or simply gathered
on-whichever way will give most
fullness. The hats snis year are still

Attractive Long Getaway Coat.

The rather long cutaway coats are
very becoming to certain figures, and
one particular one is made up in a
mixture of black and white, with a
white linen waistcoat and cuffs. The
old-fashioned stock cravat and jabot
of white lawn give distinct air of
smartness to the costume. Very trim
is the small hat, narrow in the front
and wide at the back, trimmed only
with two long peacock feathers.

Apple Crop In General.

The apple crop throughout the coun-
try at large is not rs promising as Il
was some weeks or months ago. The
early promises of orchards, berry fields
or vineyards cannot always be relied
upon. There ave contingencies the
same as in every human enterprise,
hail, frost, drouth insects, blight are
always liable to make changes in con-
ditions. It is no easy matter to learn
of the conditions OF even one crop, the
apple crop. of this country. Those
whose interest it is to keep the price
of apples down will insist that there is
the promise of Il marvellous crop while
the orchardist, whose interest it is to
make it appear that there is a small
crop III order that he may get better
prices. may possibly in some cases
make efforts to show greater injury
than really has occurred. How fortu-
nate it is that this country covers such
wide range and such variety of soil
and climate as to make certain fair
crop of all the fruits and all the
grains that our farms produce SO that
there is no season of famine

ANOTHER WATER SUIT.
Commenced Yesterday by Appropriations
From the Ahtanum Creek.

suit was commenced in superior
court Wednesday,. tue papers being FL J
With Court Commissioner Cleaver, by
David Mum. representing the assoeia-
tlon of water users claiming prior right
OF appropriation to the waters Of An
tanum creek, against seventy persons
who, II is alleged. have no water right.
An injunction was asked, restraints
the latter parties from taking any wa
ter out of the creek. The temporary
Injunction was granted and the hear
ing set for the 5th of September, be-
fore Judge Rigg. II. ]. Snively ap-
peared for the plaintiffs.
This suit was made necessary by tho
changes in ownership of lands on the
Ahtanum. Under the former decree Of
the supreme court, which has con-
trolled the appropriations from .Ahtan-
UNI creek, the grantees or subsequent
owners of the lands were not included
in the injunction, and as they became
more numerous the amount of water
used by them has lessened the supply
of the owners of prior rights who are
thus forced to seek relief.

Benton.. Assessed Valuation.

PRoSSER. Aug. 2O.-Assessor Harry
Van Horn has completed the assess
ment roll, which shows the valuation
of all property in the county to be
$4,256,430, nearly the double the
amount when the assessment was
made by the Yakima and Klickitat
counties, which was only s2,2S9,000.
The valuation of the Northern Pa
eiic Is s66o.41o. The value of the real
property in the county is $4,000. 05o,
the personal being s656.sS0.
In consequence of the increased as
sessment the tax levy for next year
will probably be considerably lower.
although for the present year. not
withstanding about $4,000 extraordin-
airy expense in starting the county
government. the levy was only about
8 mills higher than that OF Yakima
county.

supplementary Report.

To the Honorable, the Mayor and
City Council Of the City Of North Va
kima, Washington:
Supplementary to the foregoing re-
port, we, the undersigned. would sug-
gest that In view of the danger of
decay and deterioration of wood pipe
sewer, and for the further reason that
the discharging capacity of the 16
inch wood pipe section of the Beech
street trunk sewer. as shown on pro-
file adopted by the city council. is ma
terially less than that Of the IS inch
earthenware pipe intended to discharge
into II, that inasmuch as 1t will be
necessary to take up and relay a con-
siderable portion of said wood pipe
sewer in order to make 1t conform to
the grade as shown on said profile,
that 16 inch vitrified earthenware pipe
be substituted and used instead of
wood pipe, and that said 16 inch earth
enware pipe be directly connected with
and extended from the easterly end of
the is inch pipe and laid practically
on an inclination OF one foot to $50
fet. On this rate of grade the 16 inch
pipe will have as great discharging
capacity as the IS inch pipe discharg-
ing into II and the lasting quality of
that part will be made equal to all
other parts of said sewer.
This proposed change from wood to
vitrified earthenware pipe and Its
grade. originated by DR.. Fell. is here
by submitted for the consideration OF
the council. having in view the per-
manency and efficiency OF the work
and future value to the city.

, extending west a distance of about
1000 feet to point where the new
grade line would intcrsect the original
grade.
We are asked whether these changes
of grade are u material deviation from
the profile of work as adopted by the
constructed and whether said changes
materially and adversely affect the
value of the work to the city of North
Yakima.
This trunk sewer is intended for use
as an outlet for and to carry away the
sewage of practically all that part Of
the city lying south of Yakima avenue,
a very large and populous part of the
city. "a be discharged into it by means
of lateral branches connecting to said
trunk sewer.
It IS evident that IL the vertical rise
of two feet at the east end OF the IS
inch pipe were not made there would
be a set back of sewage from its out
let at that point extending westerly
for distance of some 600 or more
feet, occasioned by the change of
grade in the wood pipe section of the
| sewer. and by raising We IS inch pipe
| at its east end to avoid this back set
| of sewage the inclination of said Is
inch pipe is materially lessened, so
seriously affecting the velocity of flow
| as will cause accretions Of solid mat
ter upon the inner surface of the pipe,
besides lessening its carrying capacity.
For the above reasons, and for the
fp ~ cv obo
grade to some extent decrease the rate
| Of inclination Of n number Of lateral
branches OF be extended from said
| trunk sewer. we find that said changes
Of grade as made therein are a mater
ial deviation from the original profile
fo- said trunk sewer, adversely affect
ing It's usefulness If completed with
| said changes therein, and would be of
| materially less value to the city of
North Yakima, and we therefore rec
| ommend that the original profile be
adhered to.
Where the words Original profile
and original grade" are used herein,
the profile and plans for said work
adopted by the city council at its
meetings of September IS, 1905, and
October Is. 1905. and the grades
shown thereon, are meant.
Inasmuch as the city council has
authorized the first two engineers ap-
pointed by said council to call in a

correct determination OF the matters
under consideration herein, and they
having worked and consulted with Mr..
