Brides Of Mature Age.

Whether or no a woman should marry
man much younger than herself is after
all a question each woman must decide
finally for herself. During the last few
years this class of marriages has Increased
so markedly that there seems TO have
been a popular change OF view on the
subject. Years ago parents opposed their
sons marrying women older than them
selves, but recently this prejudice seems
to have lost q good deal OF ground There

Velvet n High Style Fabric.
Velvet in the soft supple qualities
adaptable to the modes of the day is to
be used In dressy costumes again this
year. It's most popular color now seems
to be a rich purple-prelat purple-set
OF by trimmings Of beautiful braids and
accessories OF costly fur. 1t is a shade
which looks well with any fur and con-
sequently we may expect to see 1t &C
companied with the long, black glossy
Lynx. rich Stables, Chinchilla aud Er-
mine and others of the fashionable pelts.
Those who cannot afford the expendi-
ture which a costume of silk velvet nee
essarily entails, may choose yelveteen
with the consciousness that it Is just
as good style and will, In truth, give
twice the amount of wear for half the

Materials for Dressy Costumes.
There is such range of fashionable
materials for the gown which is to do
duty as a semi-dressy dinner frock, a
calling and church costume, that one
cannot go wrong in selecting any one
OF the beautiful we8Yes offered In the
shops today. All the soft silks, crepes,
lansdownes and the chiffon broadcioths
come in bewildering range of colors and
shades and these are easily matched at
the trimming counter in braids and hand
some ornaments. The crepes de chine
and lansdownes are also attractiyely en-
ployed in dainty house gowns made up
Oh simple empire and princess lines and
trimmed in the simplest way with fine
lace, ribbon and hand embroideries. Hand
embroideries, by the way, are highly
priced IN this seasons fashions and the
girl who can elaborate her frocks with
her own handwork is indeed fortunate,
for the dressmaker made embroidered
froCk IS quite out Of the question with
the average girl, so excessive are the
prices asked for such creations. On the
other hand, one can have the dress made
by some reputable establishment and sup
ply ones own handwork as the design of
the costume demands or add such finish
ing touches after the gown has left the
costumerS hands.

NeEliEees.

Negligees are dainty articles OF the
trousseau which every prospective bride
loves almost as much as the wedding
gown. In these all sorts OF charming

such delightful inexpensive fabrics which
one can develop Just as arusticaIly and
satisfactorily as the more expensive stu6s.

The millinery this fall is unusually at

 When the old man sent the hurry. up call for Us to drop drlv!n' and hike over to the NorSk's. who lost hls kid, VIC broke for the little farm mighty quick. We knew the woods were full of wolves. and if they didn't get the kid the night was due to be colder'n - and he'd freeze t0 death before the frost fell.

 We made torches of birch bark, be- sides havin' all the lanterns there was on the drive, and the ole man spread the whole fifty of us out, and we fine tooth combed that country all night. But we couldn't find hide nor hair of the kid, and when mornin' come says to myself, That kids goner sure, and about everybody else thought the same way 'cept the ole man, and he never would give in If he died.
 After We had lunch we went at 1t again Along about noon I found the kid sleepin' in hollow log. Would not have seen him If 1t had not been for his little cap that had fallen on the ground.

on the day of September, 1899, at five minutes past one in the afternoon. At four o'clock another quake was felt. The quake so broke up the Muir glacier that the channel at Juneau was filled with huge icebergs. Not until this last summer since the earthquake, have the excursion steamers succeeded in getting up to the glacles. It is re- ported upon reliable authority that steamers went two miles farther than they could before the earthquake.

ing anything like demoralized point.
agricultural conditions are approach
The government reports ON crop con-
ditions this week are quite up to ex-
pectations, indicating that while in no
instance will any of the great crops
establish new records, they are, never
theless, much above the average and
farmers more than some crops that
have established records. The corn
yield-which from the stock market
standpoint is the main crop-promises
to exceed two and one-half billion
bushels, which, while something like
400, 000, 900 bushels less than the final
harvest report of 1906, has, neverthe-
less, but thrice been exceeded; the
spring wheat promise was curtailed
less than seven million bushels by the
unfavorable weather during August,
and as the winter wheat harvest is al
ready assured. it is quite conservative
to approximate the total wheat harvest
for 1907 at 631,764,O0O bushels, which
compares with 735,O00,00O bushels IN
1906, but is, nevertheless, good aver
age of recent harvests. The cotton
crop situation is also showing that
there will be good supply for export,
so that from the agricultural stand
point there is slight justification for
predictions of reaction. Secretary
/ Wilson estimates that the farm prof.
ucts will be worth between $500, 1000. 900
and 81 900 100000 more this year than
last, and last year they were officially
reported by Mr.. wilson's department
at $500, 600 900.
Railroads Show No Decline,
1t is significant also that railroad re-
turns are keeping up with rsma rkable
tenacity. Returns for tina NORTH -of
July are now available for 81 all
roads. which show an Increase CT So
| 7S2,4O0 in gross, equivalent to an in
4 crease of nearly 16 per cent. The OPP
Grating expenses, however, cut the net
earnings down to $S32,O0O, which is but
4 per cent above the figures of year
ago. This shows that there is as yet
no decline either in the price of labor
or material, and that while the rail-
roads are doing an enormous business
they are doing it without sufficient
net results--a fact that the common
sense and fairness of the American
people will not permit state legisla-
lures to ignore in their attempted en-
forcement of confiscatory transporta-
ton rates. The decision of a lower
court of Pennsylvania that the 2-cent
rate law of that state is unconstitu-
tional is step in the right direction
it will be carried to a higher court. but
the case loses particular Importance
as a precedent for other states in thai
it deals with the Pennsylvania rail-
roads charter, which is of particu'
larly broad and liberal character.
The situation remains one requiring
increased caution and discrimination
in making purchases. Fluctuations
promise to be wide during the re-
mainder of the year and to provide on
excellent trading market in which
profits should be prcAlptly taken wher
possible.

SELL
S12 A BOX

PORTLAND, Sept. 19.-Twelve dol
lars box for apples-just 20 cents for
each apple--is the price paid for a
Hood river product by the richest men
in the country for shipment to their
homes in New York city. says the
Journal.
The apples are Of the winter bana-
ma variety and were purchased by See
ley, Mason & Co. of this city from Os-
car Vanderbilt of the Beulah Land or
chard at So box at the railroad sta
ton at Hood River and resoldt IN New
York at $12.
The winter banana apple recently
came into prominence here by reason
of the purchase of some 40 boxes a
year ago by Andrew Carnegie, the
steel king, for distribution among his
lieutenants in the great steel works
From that time forth the fame of the
winter banana apple and Oregon as an
apple producing state spread wider
until today in no part of the world is
the fame of this states product I'M
known to lovers of the best fruit that
grows.
The crop of winter banana apples
this season is very limited, and It is
stated that Seeley, Mason & Co. of
this city have purchased about all that
was produced, The apples are of un-
usually large size and do not contain
more than so to box. At $12 box
they cost the purchaser in New York
just 20 cents each. and they are cheap
at that price.
Francis Seeley Of the firm who pur-
chased the apples from the grower
states that he has more orders than he
can possibly ill for this monarch of
apples. Rich men from all over the
world are teiegraphing to Portland
and begging the privilege of purchas-
ing box or two

THE CHANGE OF
ADMINISTRATION
NO DETAILS WILL BE SETTLED
BEFORE THE RETURN or GOV
ERNOR CARTER.

The general details of the change of
Territorial administration will not be
settled until after the return of Gov
ernor Carter the last part of this
month or the early part of August.
Chief Justice and Governor-elect Frear
will return from Kauai in time to have
conferences with the retiring governor,
relative to certain details. The ques-
ton of who will succeed Atkinson as
Secretary if he is to retire, will UNI
doubtedly be discussed at those confer
ences. No doubt Carter will also make
known in further detail to his successor
the wishes of the President relative to
affairs in Hawaii.
It is believed that the new governor
will be given an entirely free hand in
the matter of making appointments in
the government service. 1t seems hard
ly probable that Carter will try to
force upon him any of the old heads
of administration.

Not a little discussion was held
over the action Of Judge Lindsay in
sustaining the technicality raised by
Frank Thompson and c. F. Clemens,
attorneys for j. Lor Wallach a tech
nicality that effected the discharge of
the defendant yesterday. It is held
by many that where such an important
point, purely one of legal discrimina-
ton was raised, the court should have
permitted it to have been submitted
to the Supreme Court. Such action
was taken in the Willie Crawford and
Joe Clark cases from Judge Robinsons
court some time ago But the court
did not suggest that such disposition
of the motion be made and ruled on the
matter There is to be no further
prosecution of Wallach for the present.

THE FEARLESS
WANTS A SHARE
CLAIM THEY ARE ENTITLED TO
MONEY FOR TIL sALvING OF
MANCHURIA.

There will be suit filed shortly, it
is stated, by the crew of the tug Fear
less. They take the position that they
were entitled to a division of the
money received for the work done by
the vessel for the Manchuria while she
was aground. They take the position
that the work of the tug was salvage
operations and in consequence, the
money received as compensation,
should be divided pro rata among the
crew.
Some interesting points are involved
in this matter. The Fearless was hir-
ed at a certain rate by the Pacific Mail
agents for her services in working
about the Manchuria, but whether her
services can be classified as salvage
will be for the U. S. District Judge
to decide.
