CITY COUNCIL
HEARS PROTESTS
PAVING PETITIONS IN MANY
FORMS - ANTI PROHIBITION
MOVEMENT RECEIVES LARa-
EST NUMBER.

The city council met this morn
ing and received a number of pro-
tests in the form Of petitions and
remonstrances against paving the
streets in the district established by
ordinance several months ago. Four
ferns of protest were received. the
cne asking that the improvement bs
delayed pending the result Of the
anti-saloon movement carrying the
greater number of s.gners, and
many OF these had previously placed
their names upon one or more OF the
other petitions.
One remOnstrance was received
protesting against pavement in gem
eral at this time and was signed by
Wesley Steel, Charlotte A. Ander-
son, NJ. Donzac. Dent G Butler. L..
c. Neal, 0. A. Kjos, Eva X. Mounce,
Fay Yantis and James e. Babb.
The Northern Pacific railroad
protests against wood block pave
ment and separate protest against
wood block pavement contained a
number OF signers. A fourth petit
tion asking that the pavement of
Ninth street be delayed for period
Of two years contained a number OF
names OF property owners on that
thoroughfare.
The council appointed a commit
tee composed of Commissioner OF
Public Property Salsberg, City At
torney Cox and City Controller
Nickerson to canvass the protests
and segregate the names Of those
who had signed more than one pc
tition, in order that the exact ex-
preston of the people may be de-
term'ned. This committee will re-
port at a special meeting of the
council to be held Wednesday night
at which time the status OF the
question will be determined.
It is believed. however, the pro-
tests do not represent majority OF
the property owners in the district
and after the report of the commit
tee the council will be in a position
: to proceed with the improvement
without delay. --.F

who reached the city last night and
left this morning on an inspection

The visit of Engineer Lupfer at
this time is in accordance with the
plans of President Jay p. Graves.

The Spokane dispatches during
the past few days have announced
the plans of the Spokane and In

a Colfax telegram yesterday stated
tn. plans for extending the line
from Colfax to Lewiston were prac-

of Engineer Lupfer In Lewiston at

as suggestive of an early COM

DECOLLETE GOWNS

It Is long time since women have
appeared In such becoming ball gowns
as they are wearing this spring Their
charm is found In the shape Of the de-
collete, which has taken into itself a
new and delightful curve, bringing the
bodice unusually low In the center OF
the front and higher over the should
ers.
The fashionable decollete describes a
deep curve forming a "U." To slender
women It Is most becoming. but the one
of rather plump figure must wear It
with great care. The thing to avoid
in the new ball gown is immodesty.
Unless the bodice Is made by an ex-
pert dressmaker and one who under
stands perfectly the artistic lines Of
the feminine figure It is apt to look a
bit vulgar instead of smart and mod
eet.
inexperienced dressmakers do not
understand that the evening bodice
should be made wider across the bust
than other gowns, Any suggestion Of
pushing the figure up. as Is frequently
seen in high-necked costumes will give
the bodice an immodest look and really
spoil the whole effect of the gown.

Lace Warm ms Wolfe.

Dressmakers say that there Is a GER
tain warmth about lace, and they
argue the point by saying that many
of the new lace coats arc quite heavy
in weight and really as warm as
voile or any other thin material.
Many of the coats are interIned with
chiffon, making them very comfort
able for wear in moderate weather.
Irish crochet lace is the most adj
mlrable of all the coat laces and one
can get varieties OF lace that look a
great deal Ike the genuine Irish
crochet. still, there is difference
between the real and the imitation,
and the woman who Is buying a coat
TO be worn on nice occasions should
look very carefully before she decides
on her lace wrap.
Cluny lace Is rage In Paris, where
coats. blouses and skirts are made of
1t. The lace is dyed to any color and
Is lined with satin of precisely the
same hue.

BORDERED 'KERCHIEFS

Ever since the bright bordered hand
kerchiefs were ushered in, there have
been a great many articles made from
them. Strange to say, these handker-
chiefs launder remarkably well, hold
ing their colors when Numbered every
few weeks. One of the new handker-
chief bags Is made to hold a pair of
slippers 1t is made with two hand
kerchiefs. The two are placed together
sewed across one end, then the upper
one Is turned back halfway to form a
strong pocket. 1t is stitched down
both sides and through the center. It
is stayed at the top with piece Of
herringbone stitched on the under side
and the case can be trimmed with rib
bons or left very plain. One handker-
chief Is stitched into long, narrow
bag and fastened, at, the top with a
white tape; drawn through heading
which, when closed, forms a small ruff
fe Into this little bag is thrust the
box Of shoe polish, cloth and tiny
brush. The case can be lined with
rubber cloth. If desired.
