Bags of Patent
Leather and
Others

There has been a new favor &c.
corded to patent leather and many OF
the smartest new bags for practical
use are in this leather. 1t does not
wear so well as many other black
feathers. but It has brightness for
eign to any of the other feathers. save
morocco. a youthful air. and made up
In attractive shape VITA lining Of some
larity, even II 1t does show wear ra-
ther quickly.
The patent-leather bags are in al
most every case more effective than
any OF the other feathers. The de-
tails of the bags give them individ-
uality even when shapes vary little
and the last word seems to have been
said in the matter Of fittings. Vanity
cases. opera glasses. tiny fans. card
cases. change purses. pencils. address
books. all are packed Into miracu-
lously narrow limits.
The ingenuity exercised in the plan
ming of the bag fittings deserves un.
stinted praise. Many women. how
ever. prefer to distribute these fit-
tings among various bags instead OF
crowding them into one. There Is
the ample shopping bag Of pigskin.
morocco. patent leather or other leath-
er. 1t has purses for change and for
bills and It has card case. but the
rest of its space is left free for small
articles and packages.
For luncheon downtown there is n
smaller bag (also used for matinee
purposes). containing the indispens-
able vanity equipment. mirror. pow
der pun or cloth and possibly other
items. 1t may have the little opera
glasses and fan. too.
For visits fiat envelope bag or
small handsome bag with handle is
the thing II one carries anything in
leather. A purse or bag OF netted
gold. silver or Gunmetal is often pre-
ferred. but II should be large enough
to hold cards as well as handker-
chief. and II one is travelling by car n

Lizard skin Is considered a good
skin for dressy occasions. but the
leather workers are so clever in their
use OF dyes now that one may have n
bag to match almost any costume.
The very pale biscuit and gray tones
and white are used for beautiful
purses and small bags. often gold
mounted and having precious stones
set in their clasps. A new shape as
shown by one well-known leather
goods firm shows n succession OF
overlapping flaps inclosing separate
pockets. This model has taken eS-
tremely well. Another weli-liked mod
ei has its original note in the smooth
plain mounting OF metal curving down.

CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS.
And Suffered Annually with a Red

Troubles Cured by cutieura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in

I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura

and the farmer must now look to
some other source for his posts. Per
haps directly on his farm there may
be a patch Of woods which includes
such trees as black oak. beech, maple
or pine. and cottonwoods and willows
may grow along the banks OF his
streams. These are trees which here
tofore have been thought of little or
no use for posts. because Of the rapid
ity with which they are attacked by
decay. In their natural condition. they
will rot in two or three years-too
soon to pay for the labor Of setting
them. The forest service in its study
OF prolonging the life Of fence posts
has found cheap and simple methods
OF preserving them In a sound condi-
ton for an indefinite time. even
though they are the poorest and nat
urally least durable woods.
Decay is not a simple process like
the crumbling Of stone or the rusting
OF iron. 1t is caused by low forms OF
plant life which thoroughly permeate
the wood. discolor 1t and cause 1t
TO become disconnected and rot
ten" To preserve the timber in a
thoroughly sound condition. It is only
necessary to render the wood unfit for
the growth OF these organisms. This
is done by injecting into 1t substances
poisonous to plant life.
One of the most widely used pre-
servatives is creosote. one Of the by.
products of coal tar. When 1t is In.
jected into the wood. decay will be
retarded indefinitely and an old-field
pine or a cottonwood fence post when
properly treated, will easily give life
of 20 years or longer. Such a preserv-
ative treatment costs about ten cents
per post The creosote can be applied
by painting the wood with brush or
dipping It into the liquid, but much
better results will be obtained II 1t is
actually injected into the wood instead

EQUALIZATION BOARD.
Refuses to Increase Valuation OF
Aberdeen Tide Lands, as Sug-
gested by Council Com
mittee.

BY a vote of to 3, the county
board of equalization rejected the
proposition made by the special COM
mittee of the Aberdeen city council
A. e. Alexander, r. A. Wiley and
w. T. Ingram, to increase the valu-
ations of Aberdeen tide lands about
100000.
All the manufacturing establish
ments in this city, occupying tide
lands, were represented, and all pro-
tested against the increase. 1t was
argued that the matter of increasing
the valuation of those lands had bet
ter be postponed until the new as
sessment next year. when the adjoin-
ing uplands could be reduced. This
view was taken by the three COM
missioners and County Treasurer
Taylor, who with the Aberdeen COM
mittee, constituted the board
and resolution to that af-
feet was adopted by those four votes
against the three of the committee.

YOUNG GIRL ASSAULTED.
Her Screams Attract Attention and
Cause the Miscreant to Flee.

HOQUIAM, August 17.-Last even
ing at about 10 O'Clock an attempt
was made to criminelly assault 16-
year-old girl on Third street near
the right of way of the North
ern Pacific railroad company The
terrified screams of the girl at
tracted residents nearby who ran to
her rescue. The girl was found
about exhausted and helped to her
home The assistant of the girl
made his escape before those attract
ed to the scene by the child's cries
arrived. Her name is suppressed for
various reasons.
The girl said she had fought with
the man for about an hour. This is
hardly probable, although it no doubt
seemed that long to the Miss.

GOVERNOR HAY
SENDS MESSAGE
TO The SPECIAL SESSION OF The
Legislature.
Recommends Ratification of Income
Tax Amendment, Which Meets
Prompt Approval in the House.
Goes After the Professional Lob.
bviSt in no Uncertain Language.

OLYMPIA, Aug. 1S.-Governor
M. E. Hay sent a special message to
the senate just before adjournment
yesterday afternoon, and to the house
this morning. The message among
other recommendations asks that a
stringent anti-lObbying law be en-
acted. Al
The message recommends the pas
sage OF an emergency bill providing
for filling the vacancy in congress
caused by the death of Francis w.
Cushman; urges another superior
judge for King county; suggests
fifth rock crushing plant; asks an
appropriation of 1000 for printing
for the adjutant generals office.
and $36,6S0 for the national guard,
and $500 for printing for the deaf
and blind schools.
The governor calls attention to
the appropriation made at the regu-
lar session, of $4,000, for cruising
and appraising state lands, and says
it is wholly inadequate, and recon-
mends $4,000 additional for this
purpose. The message recommends
the ratification of the amendment 10
the federal constitution known as
the income tax amendment, and this
morning the amendment was ratified
by the House.
The governor asks that stringent
law be enacted to prevent paid lobby
lists from debauching legislation, and
on this subject says:
During practically every session
of the legislature since Washington
was admitted to the Union, special
| interests of one kind or another have
maintained paid lobbyists at the
state capitol for the purpose of de-
feating or rendering impotent legis-
latiOn distasteful to their employers.
The presence of these paid agents
sent for the purpose of corruption
has been an insult to the legislature
and a discredit to the state, they
seek to, and frequently have sue
ceeded in preventing a free express
sion of the popular will, and, en-
boldened by their success, they not
only direct their efforts to defea--
ing good and wholesome laws, but
have braZenly loaned their support
to vicious legislation. Obnoxious in
fluences such as this should no long
er be tolerated, and l especially re-
commend that you enact a law plac-
ing check upon these people, so
that when a paid lobbyist shall come
to the capitol he shall first be conf
PEELED to register with the secretary
of state and shall file a statement
with him showing by whom he IS
employed, with a brief description
of the legislation in which he is in
| terested also that within thirty
days after the legislature adjourns
| he shall file a sworn statement with
the secretary OF state showing in dc
tail all expenses paid or incurred,
promised directly or indirectly, in
connection with the legislation pend
ing at the late session."

RUSHING RAILROAD WORK
Contractors Receive Orders to Begin
Grading Between Cosmopolis
and Hoquiam.

Work on eight miles of the Union
Pacific right of way lying between
Cosmopolis and Hoquiam, and twelve
miles of the road between Rochester
and Chehalis, on which no work has
been done, was commenced Tuesday
and crew of 400 men will be placed
at work rushing construction.
The order to complete this portion
of the work was received Monday
by the firm of Caughren, Winters,
Smith e. Co., at Elma, when tele-
gram came announcing that the re-
mainder Of the original right of way
should be completed at once.
The first bid was for the con-
struction of the railroad grade,
bridges and track from Chehalis to
the western city limits of Hoquiam.
1t calls for the completion of 60
miles of the railroad and the firm of
Coughren, Winters, Smith & Co. of
Spokane was the successful bidder.
The contract was then cut down to
40 miles and called for the construc-
ton from Rochester to Cosmopolis.
The order came as surprise to the
contractors, who had supposed the
work would not be started until next
spring.
In completing the work a crew of
400 additional men will be put on
and it's completion rushed with as
much expedition as possible.
There is already a force Of 1,100
men at work on the line and five
large steam shovels are making the
dirt fly. The grade is nearly f1n-
ished over all smooth country, and
the work yet to be done is the cuts
and fills adjacent to the hills.

House. Other Routine Business.

Last nights meeting of the city
council was prOtracted one, the
members spent most of the evening
until II o'clock, wrestling with the
franchise to be given to the Puget
Sound-Grays Harbor railway. At
torney J. B. Bridges and Engineer
Isaacs represented the railway COM
pany and through their assistance
and guidance, the franchise was
framed up enough SO that it could
be ordered published for the neces-
sary thirty days, during which time
the council will have a chance to IN
troduce such amendments as it may
deem necessary.
The matter of the footway on each
side of the railway bridge, and which
party should be responsible for dam
ages that might accure because Of
accidents caused by use of the foot
way was the main hinderance to the
passage of the franchise ordinance,
but this was finally settled by allow
ing an amendment whereby the city
assumes the responsibility. This was
done merely to allow the ordinance
to go to publication.
The liquor license of Pete Wilson
was renewed.
