Women's
Spring
Suits

The fact that fashion is
constantly changing is true.
Every week she has some
thing new and especially is
this true, in the little details
which mean so much to a
womans gowning.
We are ever watchful for
this newness and every ex-
press brings US something a
little different from the last
something a little different
than you'll find elsewhere.
These garments are rich in
style but never gaudy-they
are simplicity itself with a
wealth of harmonious and
beautiful detail, and we want
you to see them.
Come and try them on,
and, should you wish to buy,
you will find the price most
reasonable.

A singular spring lately discovered
In New Mexico discharges a saturated
solution of sodium sulphate at a tenn
perature of 10 degrees f. The weight
Of the liquid is 10 2-3 pounds per gal.
Ion, that of distilled water being only
s 1-3 pounds. The overflow from the
spring has solidified into a perfectly
level, s~nOw-white bed of sodium salts,
miles in extent.
In Brookslde Park, Cleveland, a
concrete bridge has just been opened
TO traffic which Is said to possess some
novel features. 1t is believed to be
the --LATEST semiellipse Of concrete ever
constructed without a heavy. re-en-
forcement of steel. Its elliptical form
Is perfect, with a major axis Of 90
feet and a semiminor axis Of only 8
feet. In other words, the rise of the
arch Is less than one-tenth Of the span.
The entire stomach was first sue
cessfully removed by Schlater Of Zu-
rich In 1897. B. Vassallo, a surgeon
Of Argentina, reports having now per-
formed seventeen pylorectomies and
considers the gravity Of these opera
lions more apparent than real. -Four
months after the last complete removal
Of this organ the patient was In excel
lent health, with no inconvenience ex-
cept the necessity of eating often and
but little at a time.
Seasickness is proven by DR.. Charles
Dawson to be a common effect of earth
quakes. The feeling of nausea may
be produced by shocks lasting not more
than eight or ten seconds, and whose
vibrations have a total range of only
a small fraction Of an inch, and In one
slight English earthquake-too small
to lnjure any buildings-about one OBJ
server In fifty was affected. The feel
ing usually lasts a few minutes,
though sometimes persistlng an hour
or more.
Prof. J.. Fl. Poynting recently de-
scrlbed before the Royal Society an
"electric-touch" measuring machine
which gives results superior to any OBJ
taInable with the usual mechanical
touch" machines. The underlying pr!n'
clple is that electric contact Is suOsti'
tuted for mechanical contact In de
termlning, for instance, the thickness
of a gage or plate. Readings with the
new machine are taken with ease anC
certainty to one notwithstanding
thousandths of an inch, and ever one
quarter of this can be obtained If de
sired.

Spokane Fair Opens.

One of the best things about this
years fair is the fact that accomoda-
lions for visitors can always be had by
applying to the information bureau at
the Chamber of Commerce rooms, $40
First avenue. +. II. Gohlke is in charge
of this work and has a long list of
rooms, which accommodating Spokane
citizens have placed at his disposal to
be used in case the hotels, lodging
houses and ordinary rooming houses
cannot accommodate.
Manager Cosgrove is delighted with
the prospects of this years attendance
and expects the total to far exceed that
of any other year. The capacity Of the
grandstand has been doubled and ac-
commodities far more people.
Among the most popular new fea'
lures is the Home Industry building in
charge of Rem II. Rice, secretary of the
100, 900 club. No one had any idea so
many things were manufactured in
Spokane until he saw this exhibit. Mr..
Rice has something doing all the time
in his department and it is the chief
featrue of the evening show at the
grounds. He is providing an entirely
new program of vaudeville entertain
men and music for the second week.
He has received a great deal of praise
for the splendid exhibit and fine show
which he had made for the Home In
dustry exposition.
All departments of the fair are strong
this year. More live stock came than
was expected, the grade is the very
highest and more men have brought
stock to the fair this year than eve
before. Many of these never in the
past attempted to win premiums.
One of the finest departments is the
fruit exhibit, in the main building.
This is greater than ever before and
surpasses in splendid the fine showing
made in former years at the old fruit
fairs.

GROW FAT ON TABooED FOOD,
Poor of London Find C~hlcago's Meats
Wholesome.

London, Sept. 25.-The revolt
against Chicago canned meat is a re-
markable instance how out of evil
sometimes comes good. Bow street
police missionaries say poor people In
the east end Of London are being bet
ter fed now than they were. Grocers
who were unable to get rid of their
stores of canned meat sent them TO
the east end to be sold at reduced
prices. A majority of the poor people
there seldom if eve read newspapers,
or If they have known anything about
the scare they have shown they do moi
trouble about it, for they have been
able to buy up the tabooed canned
meat at about one-fourth of the origi-
nal price.
Not a single case Of illness has re-
suited, says this police missionary. In
fact, he says, the improvement in the
appearance Of these east end poor is
surely a testimonial to the wholesome
ness of the food they are enjoying.
The only matter of concern IS as to
whether these people will be able TO
get more food at such prices when the
present stock Is exhausted.

HUGE cHELAN POWER PROJECT.
Condemnation Suits Are Started to
Get Riuhts on Stream.

chelan, Wash.-F. II. Brownell of
the Everett law firm of Brownell q
Coleman has served papers in a con-
dennation proceeding against several
riparian owners along the Chelan river
between here and Chelan falls. The
action Is brought in the name of the
Chelan Electric company, the corpora
ton recently organized in Everett, of
which j. T. McChesney is president.
Some of the land involved is situated
within the corporate limits of the
town of Chelan.
The petition states that it is neces-
sary for the company to acquire all of
the power in the Chelan river, and for
this reason it will need the riparian
rights before mentioned. A large dam
will be erected some distance below
town and the water raised to the line
of high water on Lake Chelan.
This power is to be used 10 develop
electric power for the operation of an
electric railroad from the town of We
natchee, with a branch to Lake Che

northern boundary of the state. The
power will also be utilized N supply
ing the town Of Chelan with electric
lights and water and in lighting the
towns of Wenatchee, Waterville, Orion
do, Brewster and points along the
Columbia river. The power will fur
Their be used to pump water for irri-
eating purposes from the columbia
river along that stream. The petit
toner states hat it further expects to
use the power for the purpose of oper-
ating the line of the Great Northern
from Wenatchee to Seattle, a distance
of 100 miles, and for lighting the vari-
GUS towns along the way.
The Chelan Electric company has
already acquired the riparian rights OF
a number of land owners along the
river, but could not come to terms
with others. The company recently
purchased the holdings of the Chelar
Water Power company, including the
electric light plant and waterworks
and, so far as the members of tina
company are concerned, the suit is {
friendly one.
