EARLY BLAZE
STARTLES

The citizens of Whitefsh were
aroused from their peaceful slum-
bers att O'Clock Sunday morning
by the ringing of the fire alarm on
account of a fire in the Brewery
saloon. A quick response to the
alarm by the fireman saved the
building from any great damage.
Jim Mathews, who was on the
night shift, closed up at 3 a. m.
and went to bed in the rear of the
building and left light fire burn
ing in the stove. He was aroused
by his dog who caused great COM
motion in the bar room and on in
vestigating found that the place
was filled with smoke and flames
had already eaten their way thru
the roof around the chimney.
W. L. Mcpherson, dispatcher,
returning home from his work saw
the flames coming out thru the
roof as he passed on the next block
and turned in the alarm and three
minutes afterward hose cart No. /
was on the scene and had stream
of water on the fire which was put
out without any trouble.
The fire was started by the wall
paper around the chimney catching
fire. When the building was re-
paired a short time ago whoever
did the work papered over an extra
stove pipe hole in the chimney and
neglected to cut the paper out and
put in a metal cover. The SCOT in
the chimney caught fire and set
fire to the heavy paper which start
ed the wall and ceiling to burning.
1t was discovered just in time to
prevent any great damage being
done. The building was badly
gutted but business was resumed
the next day.
This building seems to be doomed
for some reason or other. Two
years ago it burned out when it was
occupied by J. A. Robinson, as a
jewelry store. That was the first
fire after the water works had been
put in and was a good test for the
new fire system. The fire was put
under control that time also before
great deal of damage had been
done.

CARRY MAIL?

Will the Great Northern be al
lowed to take the mail contract un-
challenged? For month now the
crack mail special over the Hill
road has been maintaining it's 49,
hour schedule between St. Paul and
Seattle without break and with
even greater speed than called for
at times. The Great Northern has
been concentrating every effort on
this one train. The pick of equip
ment and men handle the train
and it is given a clear track over
everything else on the road. Not a
stop is made that is not absolutely
necessary and no town on the whole
line sees the train for more than
five minutes. Meanwhile, accord
ing to rumors in the eastern papers,
the Puget Sound has dropped out
of the race. According to an
an article in the St. Paul Pioneer
Press fear of the new roadbed and
the tearing, racking process which
would be necessary before train
could be run over the road in better
time than the Great Northern has
caused the Puget Sound to drop it's
plans and to let the mail contract
go. Still, the Puget Sound is keep
ing quiet. If it still plans to run
its train the movement is being
guarded most carefully and if it has
decided to drop out of the race no
official announcement of the fact
has been made. Only two months
now remain for trial tests to be
made and in three weeks the heavy
snow in the mountains will make
any effort at high speed almost out
of question. .-Missoulian.

1t was proposed to include nine
blocks, comprising the business
section OF the town into fire dis
trict SO that nothing but brick fire
proof building could be built in the
future so that there would be less
danger of the town burning out.
It was suggested that the blocks be-

ment could not be reached on this,
SO the matter was referred to the
fire committee to make a more
thorough investigation and report

added proof that they love coaching for

1t is a simpler matter to arrange for
long coaching trips in Europe than it is
here, for in this region there is always the
difficulty of getting the extra horses

who plans single day trip where there
are to be two changes of horses each way
has lot to think about in order to avoid
bitches in the days programme. In its
ordinary form coaching is really sport
for kings, at least it is one in which only
the wealthy can indulge. Lessons are eX-
pensive when the dollars alone are taken
into account. though, considering all that

fair But for each change OF horses 1t

r HIS is again season when the pre-
vailing fashions in millinery make it
quite possible for girl to trim her
own hats. There is a certain simplicity
about all of this years hats, save those
designed for wear with really elaborate
gowns, which gives opportunity for the
girl with the least possible talent in this
line to save good penny toward some
other part of her outfit.
Apart from the fact that this year s hats
are so simple of outline, there is another
point this season in favor of the home
miliner-namely. the shapes or untrim-
med counter hats hold marvellous posi-
bilities for one possessing the milliners
eye, who with an empty shape can form
at once mental picture of a delightfully."-
smart walking hat trimmed with only a
broad band of ribbon about the crown
and a long stiff quill or soft feather bird
at one side.
School hats this year are really the
extreme of simplicity, yet even the
simplest models call for a certain
amount of ingenuity in rolling the ribbon
so that it will not look stiff, and in plac-
ing the quill just where the best angle
with the shape Of the head is given.
Perhaps the most attractive of all the
school hats this year are the large bowl
shaped straws trimmed with only band
of velvet or rihhon about the wide crown,
while in front just little to one side the

of the ribbon. This sort of shape Is
comparatively easy TO find and surely
any girl can tie an effective double loop

1t may require one or two lessons 10

a wire frame, but once learned TINS
knowledge will be of the greatest service
all through life. Often and often there
will arise the necessity of having hat
the exact color of gown OF peculiar
shade-a shade that can be found only III
the most expensive models or perhaps
not at all among the made up hats. and
must be made with the straw which is
purchased by the yard. To cover good
shaped wire frame with this straw is not
la difficult task, and after that the addi-
ton of the flower and ribbon trimming is
not likely to prove difficult. !,
There are two points which it would
be we'll for the amateur milliner to bear
in mind. One of these is not to buy too
cheap materials. A poor straw will
quickly lose its shape on the first damp
day and the cheaper quality of flowers
will only make the hat look poor On
the other hand, it is most short sighted
to expend upon the ma rails of hat
the same amount for which pretty hat

shop. With a certain amount 70 good
taste and idea of the style of the moment

pretty school or morning hat, but this hat
is necessarily simple in every detail. To
trim the style of hat that would be in
keeping with an elaborate afternoon frock

is required, and no amateur can hope to

Making Pique Hand Bags.

Girls with clever fingers can easily
I Imake for themselves the linen or
pique hand bags. which are smart
accessory of the linen or pique frocks for
the coming summer. The bags are made
of white or of color, being of the same
material as the frock or suit with which
they are worn, and they may be attached
to the belt or carried in the hand as one
prefers. In size they measure about six
inches, the lower corners being rounded.
The bag is lined with butchers linen to
give it stiffening, and both sides are
ornamented with soutache braid, which
may be put on as simply or as elabor-
ately as one likes, the edge of the bag
being prettily finished by loop pattern.
which is put on to come bit below the
curve of the linen. The handles may be
double or single as one fancies, and are
made by braiding the soutache into strands
the length desired, dainty little loops
being formed at either end to cover the
place where the handles are sewed on to
the bag.

Coaching permits of very attractive

she must be sure to wear hat that

There are kinds innumerable of collar

many girls prefer the kind of Lining
which comes encased in = l'i'' 100 cover

This last makes the simplest kind of

generally only the outside of the collar

One Letter Seals.

THE fashion now in seals is to use
one letter only and. that the capital
letter of ones family name engraved
artistically and not exceeding three-quar-
tiers of an inch in size. In shape the
seal should be oval, measuring an inch
altogether The popular color of the
hour in wax is bright green, suggestive
of spring, and if you wish to be very
smart you must not seal your letters in
a haphazard manner, but adopt the latest
vogue This is TO make two imprints of
wax on the envelope, one at each corner,
and you must not put your seal on up
and down, but slant it across the corner
which gives most artistic touch. The
folder of all the fashionable envelopes
is so wide now that it gives ample space
for this decoration, and, indeed, the Or
is practically necessity.
Never glue an envelope with the mucilage
provided when you use wax. The modish
idea is to ignore the mucilage, the pretty
wax fastenings at the two corners in
dicating taste and fastidiousness on the
part of the writer

II THOUGH there is nothing smarter
~ for school wear than the stiff turned
down embroidered linen collar with
Il plain tailor made shirt waist, still many
girls object to the stiff collar on the
ground that it feels peculiarly uncom-
Portable after the transparent bands of
lace and net that are now worn so much
with every other style of waist than the
plain tailor made.
For this reason lace and net collars
are now worn almost as much with the
severe as with the elaborate bodices.
They do not need to bear any special
resemblance to the waist itself, and may
be made of any lace from heavy Irish
to finest Nalenciennes insertion.
The first mark of well dressed girl
is her collar. No one could hope to look
well dressed whose collar was too loose
or too low; on the other hand, a collar too
high or too tight is equally bad style, of
course
A collar to fit well requires five bones,
and after long experimenting it has been
found best 10 place these bones straight
up and down. not slanted-two for the
front. about four inches apart: one on
each side about two inches from the
back. and these somewhat higher than

Making Pamphlets of Magazine
Stories.

N these days of many magazines they
accumulate in large numbers in almost
every household, and it is often some
thing of a burden to take care of them
and eventually dispose of them Where
there is young girl in the family she
will find it most useful and also an
interesting work to take charge of the
magazines when the family have read
them and make them into pamphlets for
the hospitals. If she asks few friends
to come in some afternoon and help her
she will get good many of them done
in a short time.
The pamphlets are made by cutting the
magazines apart and fastening the pages
of each story or article together so that
each one is a. separate little pamphlet.
When people are convalescing from an ill
ness they often have not strength enough
to hold an ordinary magazine, but can
easily hold few sheets of paper and read
the one story.
The pages can be just held together by
three or four of the little metal clamps that
come for such purposes, or they can be
made into attractive little fat books. This
is done by either sewing or pasting the
leaves together all along the back and
covering the pamphlet with some pretty
fancy paper. The most important thing
is to make 1t so that it will be very easy
to hold open.
