poration will be filed within a few
days. AS the name implies. the COM
pany is organized to handle furs of all

here four times each year.
The purpose said J. S. Goldsmith,
II of the trustees, lis to make Seattle
the greatest fur centre in the country.
We expect to. get furs from all parts Of
the country. particularly the North
west and Alaska. This agency will
have the effect of bringing here fur
trappers and statesmen from all sec
tons of the United States, Canada
and Alaska. and fur buyers from all
parts of the world. We will deal both
with the storekeepers in the remote
regions where the animals are trapped.
and with the trappers themselves. The
company will commence business as
soon as the details can be arranged.
The office has not yet been secured. nor
the site OF the warehouse decided upon.

if the lace applique is not liked, the

Blouse or Shirt Waist.

Variations Of the shirt waist seem
very nearly without number. Here is
one of the very latest that gives a vest
effect and that allows a choice of
elbow or lonr sleeves. 1t is eminently
simple and smart and yet at the same
time a bit more dressy than the severe
tailored sort and is adapted to a wide
range of materials. AS illustrated
handkerchief linen is combined with
embroidery and trimmed with little
pearl buttons, but Madras, lawn, and,
indeed, all waistings are appropriate,
with the strip at the centre front OF
any contrasting material that may be
liked. All-over embroidery is perhaps
the simplest, but there are laces that
can be utilized with pro2riety, while
the material embroidered by hand is
always the daintiest and smartest of
all things.
The waist is made with fronts, back
and centre front. The back is tucked

For Summer Styles.

The three styles that will be worn
most Of all this summer are very
much like the old styles. 1t seems
absurd to mention them as new, yet
they have points which make them
new.
There is the %princesse skirt, coming
up high enough to form a c%orselet or
girdle, with the overhanging Elton,
short in the back and long in the
front.
The killed skirt with Eton coat and
girdle, made of cloth or linen, or thin
summer stuff, will be worn again.
And there will be the circular skirt,
with little loose coat, nicely trimmed
with hand work and made along the
tailored lines, with plenty Of stitching
and seams very neatly finished.
And last, though it should have been
first, comes the circular skirt.

The dusty yokel, worn and tasked,
Tramped to me from the road,
Gripped hands with me, and all unashed
The grateful waters flowed.
The cup held by it's clanking chain
He lifted oft and drained
Its crystal waters once again,
And some new vigor gained.
And, an! those patient beasts that brought
Their noses to my tank,
When the red sun beat fiercely hot
With mighty draughts and deep until
My labors were nigh vain
To give them drink enough and fill
My water tub again.
Nor all my score of years till now
Have I once failed to cool
The thirsty lip and fevered brow
From that still ripping pool
Wherein my feet have stood. My cup
In ready hands and strong
Has dipped its crystal waters up
So long, so long, so long!
But now my joints are worn and old,
My spout is parched and dry;
My cups a-leak and will not hold
My drink, howe'er | try.
So root me up like some old tree
Bereft of leaf and shade,
And in some corner let me be
Irreverently laid.

Ay, root me up like some dead tree
Bereft OF LEAF and shade.
And in some corner let me be
Irreverently laid.
To waste my bones in rot and rust,
And let me-. once who gave
Cool draughts to man and beast, in dust
Find an unhonored grave.
1t was thy father set ne here
A score of years ago.
And babe cool water, crystal clear,
In grateful streams to flow.
In all my years no thirsty lout
For drink of me has cried
And from my overfowing spout
Has gone unsatished.
The children, rioting from school,
Have sought my dripping spout,
Whence sparkling water, clear and cool,
In torrents gushing out.
Brought thirst a comforting eclipse
With its refreshing draught,
And, all. the sweetness OF their lips
Pressed to me as they quaffed.
Then, speeding onward to their play,
| heard their merry cries,
And like the tears that drip away
In gladness from the eyes,
The cool drops flowed and trickled down
My iron cheek. to see
How from far corners Of the town
The thirsty came to me.

Government wanted officers for colored
troops, and had established a free mil

on its way to Washington, and I de-
termined to see the Secretary Of War.
When we reached the city l took my
Nearney medal and my flag to Mr..
Stanton. 1t was nearly dark when
my turn came. and he was tired and
worn At first he spoke CURLY, and
asked me what was doing away from
my regiment at that time of day. I
answered politely. unfurled the FLAG,
and showed him the inscription There
the Secretary struck a match and
looked the flag all over Then he called
some staff officers. and | had a grand
reception.
Mr.. Stanton asked me what I want

wanted to get out of the next fight. He
laughed. and asked if there were any
more towards like me in the regiment.

DOG DUG MASTER OUT OF SNOW.

Edward Hanavan, one of the best
known miners and prospectors in
Ouray County, had a remarkable es-
cape from death in a snowslide which
came down the western slope of Mount
Hayden last evening. He owe his
life to his dog Sandy.
Hanavan was climbing over the trail
of the mountain above the Mineral
Fern mine when he was suddenly
caught by a snowslide and swept 100
feet into the gulch. His dog, follow
ing fifty feet behind, barely escaped
the avalanche. The faithful canine
jumped into the gulch and began paw
ing and scraping where the toe of one
Of Hanavan's boots barely showed
above the snow. Within ten minutes
the dog reached his masters head and
began licking his face.
Hanayan was practically unconscious
from lack Of air, but soon revived and
managed to dig out of what threatened
to prove his snowy tomb.-Ouray Cor

distance, then turned and savagely at

to reach his face. He defended him

Corner on Milwaukee Rate.

MidniEht rate Two

Along the line Of the testimony Of e. w
Shields before the Interstate Commerce
commissioners at Kansas City Tuesday,
showing he had inside information of a
rate about to be made by the Milwaukee
railroad and bought over 100000 bushels Of
corn before his competitors were advised
Of the rate, may be mentioned a peculiar
incident I'm the grain trade at Omaha last
tan.
When the Milwaukee, about a year ago,
announced a special export rate Of corn
the Omaha Elevator company and the
; Transmississippi Grain company were the
only concerns with their line houses and
terminal elevators full OF corn They had
held their corn for some time and for
few days had been buying right and left
IN the country The other dealers had
been shipping as usual
The result was that the Transmississippl
Grain. company and the Omaha Elevator
company. shipped the bulk OF the grain
sent out Of Omaha over the Milwaukee I'm
der that export rate They had the grain
end they got the cars. The other dealers
got themselves into action and shipped
considerable corn toward the end OF the
xate period. but even then they found great
dimculty IN getting cars.
''Ihat rate OF ours was an open rate
end every grain and elevator man or firm
could ship by it." said a representative of
the Milwaukee, Wednesday morning. There
was nothing secret about it. Certainly
some one firm or two would ship more
grain than Others because it is perfectly
natural that, some one firm or two would
do a larger business than others. There's
a nothing mysterious about that. As mat
7 ter OF fact the Milwaukee had nothing to
cover up and 30 did not attempt It, Its
Sate was publicly announced. II certain
grain firm or two made more money under
that rate than some others, that's not our
xauit but their fortune"
GouId,s Midnight Rate.
Two years, ago the Missouri Pacific made
q midnight tariff by which the Rosenba uan
Grain company of Chicago and the Hall
Baker Grain company OF Kansas City
shipped an enormous quantity of grain out
Of Omaha to the exclusion Of other ex-
porting concerns and the loss Of the local
grain men from whom the grain was
bought. These two concerns paid tbs
Omaha dealer above the market price fol
grain, and when they had corralled every
thing in this part OF the country the Mis-
souri, Pacific export rate was announced
allowing them a handsome profit on theii
holdings, II Rosenbaum and Hall-BalSei
had not bought the grain when they did
the Omaha men would have received sew
eral cents more bushel, that Is, provided
y the "a e was announced.
This midnight tariff resulted in tho big
gest corn blockade in the history Of Ne
Oraska. Five thousand cars Of grain pourtt
into the Missouri Pacific and literally
swamped that road. so that it had to enlis
