At the Moran yards at Seattle, new bronze propeller is being made for the revenue cutter Thetis, which has been undergoing annual overhauling and re- pairs. The cruiser had hard season last summer in the ice tloes of Berlng sea, but her hull was found intact. However, the propeller blades had been twisted by contact with the ice, one be- ing turned forward, another aft and a third partly broken off. Despite this haudicap the Thetis steamed 4,00O miles wth the propeller in this condi tion.
 It. appears that in the final confer ence over the sundrY civil appropria- tion bill, the allowance made for aids to navigation in he waters of Alaska wa, reduced to $6O,OOO from the Sl4O,- GOO originally recommended. 1T was impossible for the mem bers of the house to comprehend the urgent neces- sity for the protection of the great trade between Alaska and the state of Washington, or to recognize that there is the neglect of long years to make up before the waters of Alaska will be properly protected and lighted.-EX.
 Word comes from Washington, D.

Hog gatCs choice for judge of the First div ision is Tom Lyons, of Juneau The officers for the new Fourth division recently created by .congress-have nut beer named. Neither do the latest re- turns from the seat of war indicate a successor for Marshal Shoup, of the First. Friends of Jack Mcbride de- clare that he is not a candidate, but Keller, of Skagway, is still in the race.
 The Nome schedule of the Alaska Steamship company shows that the steamer Olympia will be the first of this fleet to leave Seattle for Norton sound. This vesssl departs at 10 a. m. May 30 and is due back on June 27. Following are the other sailings for the season, including dates of departure and time back in Seattle: Victoria,2 D. m. June 1, returning June IS; North western ?

After the first voyage the Olympia will be sent out as business warrants. This schedule is practically the same as that of last season, which the company found most satisfactory. The last four dates are exactly the same as in 1908, the fifth is two days earlier and the sixth but one day in advance. The only notable change from last season is substituting the Ohio for the North western. It is expected that the latfe- vessel will remain on the Valdez run, she being scheduled for but one voyage to Boring sea.

The timber was formerly owned
by ]. Lacey & Co., of Chicago, ac-
counted the largest owners of tim
Der, outside the Weyehaeuser COM
pany, in the Northwest, and has eth
er been purchased outright by the
Milwaukee through its subsidiaries
or transferred to the Rockefeller
line on option-which the informa
ton does not state.
Forty timber cruisers. sent out
from the Portland office Of ]. D. La
cey & Co., have just completed an ex-
animation of the timber, which is re.
ported to have been bought by the
Milwaukee on the basis of $3.50
stumpage. At this rate the total con-
sideration involved in the deal is "a
trifle less than $50,0OO,O00.
The sale, 1t is claimed means
the construction of milwaukee,
feeder north to the straits from Gate
City and the creation of anoher deep
water terminal for the Milwaukee,
either at Port Townsend or at Port
Angeles. Surveys for such Il liae,
which would connect at Gate with

feeder now under construction to
Southwestern Washington are known
to have been completed several
months ago. The deal, 1t il stated,
has teen planned and executed with

Ccrects In GownS,

Paris is sending many of its new
gowns to Us with corsets made in
them. For the tall. slim girl this is
really just the touch to give the real
empire effect. These gowns are well
holding their own and from present
indications will continue to do so for
quite Il time to come.
For woman with the slightest in
clination to stoutness this boning of
the frock. no matter how much there
is of it. is not sufficient harness. Her
hips must be held down. But the slen-
der girl can wear the boning with the
greatest ease and satisfaction.
They are regular corsets. and the
frock is made to their shape. They are
laced after the gown is on.
On each side Of the back for a space
Of two or three inches corset and gown
are left free Of each other. After the
lacing has been done the frock is
hooked up.
If the opening happens to be at one
side of the back. as so many things
have 1t at present. it simply means
that the two must be left free Of each
other few inches more on one side.
