Before giving his consent the Great

A Suggestion.

During the dinner hour on board a
steamer the other day a passenger
was much disturbed by the vulgar
way in which the man who sat next
to him ate his meal.
At last, after watching him pick
a bone in very primitive fashion,
he could control his feelings no longer,
and turning to the offending party, he
said:
Don't you think you would be more
comfortable II YOU took that out on
the mat ?"-Tit-Bits.

As to Length of Skirts.

Skirts are longer. For all but the
typical walking suits they are long
and sweeping, while the street suits
have taken on another inch and just
escape the ground. This rule will
apply to the wash materials, and
wash materials are going to prevail
to an extent not known for many sea-
sons.

active in its efforts to obtain suitable
and permanent rife range nea Portland.
Besides being Immediately available fo
for the use OF six companies, including
those stationed at Vancouver, Washing

tions from the various cities of the Will
lamette Valley. Over hundred busi-
ness men went frem Portland in two
special cars. Great enthusiasm was
aroused by the speeches of both visitors
and Salem men, and all united in en-
phasizing the necessity for wide-awake
aggressive advertising to develop both
city and country. Salem contemplates
an immediate campaign as result
A branch of the work of the Portland
Commercial Club which many people
know nothing about is the maintenance
of an Ore on II formation Bureau in
Los Angeles, which has been wonder
fully successful in its efforts to so inter-
est Californian tourists that they may
return to their Eastern homes by way
of Oregon. Oregon literature is distri
buted from several of the most centrally
located offices in Los Angeles, and it is
eagerly taken. The coonist rates, and
particularly the $50 fare from the great
