Millinery Is a point that confronts
us in an autumn outfit, and here, in
deed, the difficulty Is where to choose
from among what is practically q very
"embarras de richesses. Never were
there more styles to choose from and
greater variety in trimmings, and the
season gives fresh Impetus to those
delightful fruit garnitures which were
rampant on our earlier seasons hats.
But if the trimmings vary, the shapes
Of the summer still hold their own.
Brims continue to droop more than
ever. and we are all in danger of being

the substitution Of water tTansporta-
ton for the present railroad transpor-
tation between the central west and
the seashore. Statistics gathered
from all quarters Of the United States
demonstrate that water carriage OF
freight costs less than one-sixth that
for railroad transportation. The latest
schedules place the freight charge a
busheI of wheat from Chicago TO New
York at 1920 cents, as against 5-5l
cents By lake and canal. The cost
from ST. Louis to New Orleans by
river is 425 cents. as against lis
cents by rail between st. Louis and
New York.
Despite this very great difference in
cost the tonnage Of the Mississippi
from 81. Louis 10 its mouth has stead
fly decreased since 1850. In that year
tie number of vessels arriving there
was 4.6sz. The total tonnage, receipts
and shipments amounted to $2,l30,o2o.
Ii 1890 the number Of vessels arriving
was 3.201. and the tonnage was 1,z6l-
7l5. In 1900 the number Of vessels
fell to 2.2f7 and the tonnage to 8lz,-
1s5. At the present time st. LOUIS
Mississippi tonnage is only 100000.
While the argument IS made by the
champions Of the inland waterway
project that river regulation is rate
regulation and that the improvement

try win do more TO regulate freight
