Color is to play a large part In

the shops are showing a variety of
stripes in shirtwaist materials.
Some of them are In one color or
two or three colors on white back

stripes of different color are also
shown. These are good for sepa-

for shirtwaist suits.

ANOTHER INCREASE?.

Take coal. The Dingley rates were
e7 cents a ton. Under the Payne-Al-
drich bill the specific duty is 40
cents a ton to which must be added
the ad valorem duty of 20 per cent
provided for in said section, to get
the real duty. Take coal or the
value of 81 ton, the specific duty
is As cents. and the ad valorem duty
is 25 cents. which makes the actual
tariff on coal valued at 81 a ton,
20 cents. On coal values at ~
ton the tariff is 95 cents a ton, and
so one. Instead of decreases here IS
a substantial increase.
1T is also published there has been
a reduction of the duty on print
paper from Sc a ton to 1918, but
this is not fact Such reduc-
ton is made in the specific duty
named in the schedule, but to this
Won must add the % per cent ad val
orem. Suppose ton of print paper
is valued at $40. The specific duty
is 1915 plus 25 per cent of $40,
which is $40. making the total duty
on a ton of the above stated $3.50
Thus it will be seen that instead
of a decrease it has been more than
doubled.
What is true of these articles TAX
en- as illustrations is true OF every
item in the dutiable list consisting
of more than four thousand items.
The wooden schedule on specific du-
ties is the same as the Dingley law,
70 which must be added the 20 per
cent ad valorem duty, which makes
an enormous raise in the tariff on
wooden goods"
Presenting a statement prepared
by the treasury department, Mr. pri-
liver said it showed the rates in the
common schedule were increased ov-
err the present law all along the line,
and some of them had as much as
100 per cent.

ment has been made here that only
minor and insignificant changes mad
been made in that schedule the
American people are being duped
with that kind of humbug and mis-
representation.

TRUST NATURES
HEALING POWER
The Human Automobile Is Self
Repairing Machine Made for an
Endurance Run.

The human automobile in it's mil
lion-year endurance run has had to
learn to become self-repairing; and
well has it learned it's lesson, says
Woods Hutchinson in the DelineatOr
for September. Not only in the Ian
guage of the old saw is there "a
remedy for every evil under the sun
but in at least eight cases out of
ten that remedy will be found with
in the body itself.
Generations ago this self-balanc-
ing, self-repairing power was rec
ognized by the more thoughtful
fathers in medicine and dignified by
a name in their pompous Latinity
the Wis medi3atrix naturae, the
healing power of nature. In the new
conception of disease, our drugs, our
tones, our prescriptions and treat
ments are simply means of rousing
this force into activity, assisting its
operation, or removing obstacles in
it's way.
This remedial power does not i'm
ply any gift of prophecy on Nature
part, nor does it even prove any
thing of design or beneticent inten-
ton. 1t is rather one of those blind
reactions to certain stimuli tending
to restore the balance of the organ
ism, much as that interesting new
scientific toy, the gyroscOpe car, will
respond to pressure eXerted or weight
placed upon one side by rising on
that side, instead of tipping over.
Let the onslaught of disease be suf-
ficently violent and unexpected, and
nature will fail to respond in any
way. Moreover, we and our intel
ligence are a product Of Nature and
a part of her remedial powers. So
there is nothing in the slightest de-
gree irrational or inconsistent i'll our
attempting to assist in the process.

large Orders for Lumber.

The great numbering industry of
this state, which employs more Ia
Dor ard disburses more money than
any other, is rapidly getting out of
the slough of despond in which It
has been for several years past, and
is assuming very prosperous air.
For til , first time in more han two
Years the mills of the state are ro"l.-
ing orders up to their capacity, and
have the certainty of many profitable
months ahead of them.
According to reports made, nearly
every mill in the state has orders
ahead for not less than thirty days,
with every prospect that still larg-
er orders will pour in after harvest.
Eastern retailers are in the mar
ket for orders, after buying only
in a small way for two years past.
The settlement of the tariff ques-
ton, with the certainty that there
is to be no free trade in lumber, has
brought into the market many who
have been holding off until that is
sue was settled The bountiful har-
vest the country over insure a large
demand for lumber in all of the ag-
ricultural communities, and the re-
turn Of prosperity in every other
industry is now being reflected in
lumberinc.
With this immediate improvement
in the numbering industry, the book
ing of new orders and the certainty
that there will be sale for the en-
tire output for many months to
come, tic broadcast prosperity for
every part of the state is now as
sured beyond the possibility of a
question.
The state never before had as
much to sell at such high prices as
now: wheat, -four, salmon and lun-
Der, the great staples upon which the
state rests and never before has ii

Settled the Duel.

Lord March, afterward the Marquis
Of Queensberry, was not accustomed
to view a duel with unbecoming APP
prehension and usually attended an
affair with an air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
embarrassing to his adversary. But
he was served ut last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as we'll as for the goose. 1t
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman. Lord March ap-
peared on the ground accompanied by
a second, surgeon and other witnesses.
His opponent arrived soon afterward
with similar retinue, but added to
by person who staggered under the
weight of polished oak coffin, which
he deposited on the ground, end up,
with its lid facing Lord March and his
party. Lord March became decidedly
uncomfortable when he read the in
scription plate. engraved with his own
name and title and the date and year
of death, and peace was patched up.

sCHIVELY BECOMES DRAMATIC.
Denies Perjury Charge and Tells Of
Affairs Of Spokane Company.
Blames Nichols.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 21.-Amid most
dramatic scene, John Schlvely, on
trial before the senate sitting as a
high court of impeachment. told on the
witness stand how he came to be
indicted by the Spokane grand jury
on a charge of perjury. He swore
that he was on fiat salary while
president of the defunct Pacific Live
stock association and not on COM
mission as charged by the state and
sworn to by numerous witnesses.
With tears in his eyes and a voice
filled with sobs he told his story,
while women in the gallery Wept
and the senators on the floor were
strongly moved. At o'clock he had
not finished his story, and he Will
take the stand again Monday.
For more than two hours this al
tornOOn echively continued his mar
ration of the affairs of the livestock
insurance company and OF his con-
nection with il. He closed his test1'
mony with probably the most dram
attic scene ever witnessed in eithe'
house or senate chamber.
He had come to the point in ms
story of the affairs of this association
where he had been indicted by the
Spokane grand jury on a perjury
charge, and had told of going to Spo-
kane in custody of Sheriff CASTOR OF
Thurston county.
Attorney Israel will put on Johh
D. Atkinson, former attorney gener-
al Monday and will then make his
argument upon the perjury charse
before it goes to the senate for maj
vote of guilty or not guilty.

Evidences multiply that this coun-
try has entered upon new era OF
commercial prosperity. How benefic-
ial this prosperity may prove to the
average man and his family depends
upon the use he makes of it. To
spend every dollar as fast as 1t Is
made or earned is to face disaster
and poverty in the time of bust
ness depression which invariably
follows, sooner or later, period OF
good times. The opportunity fol
providing for rainy day is not when
stocks are tumbling, factories clos
ing and men by the thousands are
thrown out of employment, but when
prices and wages are good and EN-
ployment abundant. 1t is like the
difference between a ship unprepar-
ed being thrown on it's beam end by
a sudden squall and a ship in read
mess for every contingency.
