Dressmaking School

/ will open school of sewing Dec.

many to sew who have called upon me
the past three months wishing to begin
as apprentices. Now I will devote my

S p. m, and you are at liberty to be
there all day or a part of the day as
your time permits. Each pupil will
bring her own materials for making
up. They will be allowed to sew fol
anyone they wish-themselves, Their
families or friends-just so they get the
work to do.
will see personally that all work is
properly done; no crude work will be
allowed to pass.
Those wishing to continue for the
purpose Of dressmaking will be given a
course of six weeks longer and taught
drafting and cutting. The most COM
petent OF the latter wishing employ
ment will be given positions by me
during the spring season.
I hope to open work room in the

date the sewing demand. l graduated

Paid Election Bet

One of the unique or crazy" bets,
made on the presidential election, was
settled last night in Vancouver. Walter
Brock bet Albert Cullom, both Of the
hospital corps, that Taft would be
elected. The wager was that the
losing one should act as a beast Of
burden, or donkey" and draw the
winner all over the streets Of Vancouver
in a sulky on the shafts OF which were
to appear signs and also pay for all
drinks for himself and passenger.
Last night the bet was to be settled,
so an old sulky was secured, the signs
one on each shaft, 4 bet on Bryan"
were attached, and another, suspended
from the rear of the seat, TAFT for
me-" and the journey started under
suspicious circumstances, as a hun
dred or more soldiers accompanied the
sporty bettors and announced their
coming by cheering along the street.
Brock is heavy man, much heavier
than Cullom, so as the road was slightly
muddy, the loser found that the po-
sition he had acquired was no snap.
By the time the first thirst parlor on
Main street was reached, Cullom was
perspiring freely, and would no doubt
have stood" without tieing, but
Brock was taking no chances, so he
placed rope around his 'donkey's"
neck, inwardly offered up thanks that
he was not in his fellow mans position,
attached the other end to a telegraph
pole and entered the saloon. After
imbibing glass Of the brau he was
kind enough to take Cullom drink.
The unusual journey was then con-
tinued, but before the circuit Of the
town had been completed, Cullom had
wished many times that the man who
was defeated at the polls was in his
position drawing a sulky.-Vancouver
Columbian.

is going to attend both Of these meet
ings. For the past four years he has
been a booster for the state road, and
it was in part through his influence that
the state road commissioner had de-
cided on the suggested route. He is
going to the meeting with the idea Of
counteracting the efforts OF the Kittitas
and Yakima county people.
Hand in hand with the state road
proposition is the purchasing by the
state of the Columbia river bridge.
Should this be purchased by the state
there would be but little question as to
the location OF the state road, as this is
the only wagon bridge on the entire
course Of the big river.
1t is felt that if the bridge is bought
the road will necessarily follow, and if
the road is located then it will be up
to the state to buy the bridge. The
propositions go together.
The business men at the meeting
tonight are going to thoroughly discuss
both of these propositions, and it is
likely that strong resolutions will be
passed favoring both the state owner
ship of the bridge and the building Of
the state road this way.

Manager H. ]. Nicely has received a

to oficiate at the opening of the big
exposition on Dec. 7th, and arrange
ments have been made with the West
ern Union Telegraph Co. to furnish a
direct wire from the White House to
the national apple show building.
President Roosevelt has shown a
marked interest in the apple show and
lent his support in other ways, notably
in requesting his department of agri-
culture to render every possible aid.
Owing to the fact that he will be busy
preparing for the opening OF the next
congress which takes place in Decem-
Der it will be impossible for the presi-
dent to attend.
President Roosevelt's commission on
country life which will hold several sit
tings thruout the country for the pur-
pose Of studying conditions as they ex-
ist on the farm, has selected Spokane
as one Of the meeting places and will
be here during the week OF the ma
tional apple show. The Washington
State Horticultural Society will also
meet in Spokane during that week.
Two other features OF interest to APP
pie growers as we'll as the public in
general will be demonstrations given

State College at Pullman and by the
Oregon Agricultural College at Coval-
lis. The department of domestic econ
omy Of the Washington State College,
under the direction OF Miss L. Ger
trude Mckay, acting head of the de
partment, will serve apples in every
form, giving actual demonstrations Of
how to prepare and, serve them, and
also giving the public instructions on
what varieties Of apples are best for diff
ferent purposes.
The Oregon Agricultural College
will send a crew OF expert apple pack
ers to give demonstrations Of the differ
ent packs, grading, etc. They will be
in charge Of Prof. c. I. Lewis, an au-
thority on this work.
Professor John Craig, recognized as
the leading pomologist of this country,
has been secured as judge, and will
probably give lecture during the
week.
The attractions and amusement fea-
lures which will be given in connec-
ton with the national apple show nave
practically been completed. The
Old Cider Mill Lane" will be the pop
ular midway where will be given the
various attractions that make up this
important part Of the show. Vaude-
vile features will be given in the state
armory building, and will include an
entirely new list OF attractions, brought
