NORTH COAST BIC
ELECTRIC SCHEME
AMENDED ARTICLES FILED

The North Coast Railroad Com
pany has filed with the secretary of
state amended articles of incorpora-
ton designating Robert f. Strahorh
K. J. Danson and +. ID. Doyle as
trustees.
The main line, estimated to be
$50 miles when constructed, will ex-
tend from Seattle to Spokane, pass
ing through King, Pierce, Lewis,
Yakima, Benton, Franklin, Adams,
Whitman end Spokane counties.
Walla Walla connection is to be
built from some point in Benton a
distance of seventy-fve miles.
The triangular system of feeders
to be esta blished in Southeast Wash
ington would, therefore, consist of
basic line in Benton county to Walla
Walla, and from Walla Walla to
point on the main line in Adams
county.
The most interesting feature of
the amended articles is the declara-
ton of the intent to manufacture,
generate, store, use, sell, lease trans
NIT and distribute electric current
for electric lighting, heating and
power plants, and to sell the same
to private consumers within and
without the limits of municipala-
ties" According to this declaration
it is to be surmised that the North
Coast promoters contemplate not
only the development of electric
feeders for the main line, but that
they intend to engage in the whole
sale and retail distribution of cleo
tricity for all purposes.
The articles also declare the in
tention of dealing in water rights,
reservoirs, water power, mill dams,
bitches and all essentials and i'm
provements relating to irrigation.
The intention is further expressed
in engaging in the business of buy
ing, selling and operating and MAIN
tanning any railroads in the state or
facilitating or assisting in the build
ing of any railroad or steamship
lines in Washington or of any steam
ship line running from Seattle to
points on Puget souud or on the
Pacific. The articles likewise cover
docks, piers, warehouses and ferry
boats.
The articles, in short, are expan-
sive enough to cover transporta-
ton scheme of greatest magnitude.
The capital stock is to be S5, 100000
to be divided into $4,000 shares of
the par value of 500 each, and the
life of the corporation is to be fifty

 Lady Agnes bent over and dropped her face into her hands. She was ! trembling convulsively. Browne did not show the slightest sign that he had heard the galling words.
 At single sharp command the six men picked up the three chests and moved off rapidly down the road, Rasula striding ahead with, the fiarine torch.
 They were barely out of sight when Deppingham moved as though impulse was driving him into immediate at tack upon the guards who were left behind with the unhappy prisoners. Chase laid a restraining hand upon his arm.
 t'WaitI Plenty of time. Wait an hour. Don't spoil everything. Wen save them sure, he breathed in the others ear.
 The minutes slipped by with excru- ciating slowness. The wakeful eyes of the three watchers missed nothing that took place in the little grass grown niche below them. They could have sprung almost into the center o1 the group from the position they occu- pied. Two of the men sat with theil
 backs to the rocks, their rfffys across their knees. The others sprawled 1azi- ly upon the soft grass. Two torches
 stuck in the earth threw weird light over the scene.
 Bobby Browne was now lying with his shoulder against a falleA tree trunk, staring with unswerving gaze at the woman across the way. She was looking off into the night, stead fastly refusing to glance in his direc- ton. Then suddenly Lady Agnes arose to her feet and lifted her hands high to ward the black dome of heaven.

The keys rattled in the locks, the bolts were thrown down, and an instant later Lady Deppingham was flying across the space which intervened between her and the gate.

 It was not Neenah's laugh that re piled. Chase gasped in amazement and then uttered cry of joy.
 The Princess Geneyra, slim and erect, was standing before him, her hand touching her turban in true mili, tary salute, soft laughter rippling from her lips.

 There was no. struggle. Chase and Selim were upon the stupefied island CTS before they could move, covering them with their rifles. The wretches fell upon their knees and howied for mercy. While Deppingham was hold ing his wife's limp form in his arms, calling out to her in the agony of fear, utterly oblfvfous to all else that was happening about him, his two friends were swiftly dfsarming the groveling natives. Selim's knife severed the cords that bound Bobby Browne's hands. He was staring blankly, diz- zily before him.
 Ten minutes later Chase was ad- dressing himself to the four islanders who, bound and gagged, were tied by their own sashes to trees some dis tance from the roadside.

Simple Decorative Scheme.

The effect of house is so often marred by incongruous or inharmonious papering in rooms that open into ono another that the sch heme adopted by one young housekeeper may appeal to oth- ers
 Her house could not frequently be repapered, so much care was taken to get nothing too striking or papers that would fade easily. After much debate 1t was decided to do the bedroom floor with its five rooms and two bathrooms in a sort of monochrome.
 The striped Colonial paper, with narrow satin stripe of cream on a white surface, was put In all the rooms. This was carried to the ceiling unbrok en save for a narrow floral border or small flowers and bowknots.
 This border was different color in each room. Tn one yellow, again pink, blue, green and violet In the larger rooms the border was brought down in each angle to form panels, in the small CT rooms 1t outlined the ceiling only.
 This formed 0 restful decoration and one that did not fade and made good back ground for pictures.
 Variety was given by the furnish ing of the different rooms, which had curtains and furniture coverings to match the color of the borders. Cre- tonne and English chintz were used, as they were inexpensive, hygienic and could be easily cleaned
 One of the bathrooms was done in plain blue and the other in green. A washable tint was used so that the walls could be kept scrubbed.

 Crystallized net is one of the popular fabrics for evening gowns, for spring wear. Besides being studded with silver or gold. the most gorgeous are braided in crystal tubes and bugles.
 Sleeves for the spring toilettes will fol- low the lines of the winter models-long, closely fitting ones, retaining all their popularity. In addition, the newest sleeves will be slashed and very much trimmed, and the ever-popular tucked ones also will continue in vogue.
 In cultures the parted pompadour has undoubtedly come to stay. Many there were who doubted It's popularity, but it is so universally becoming that modishes prefer 1t now to nearly any other style of hair dressing.
 The enormous hats under which the Pa risians are airing, or rather shading, themselves at Trouvile, Dinard and other places are in many cases as simple as they are sensational in size, and those who think the large hat is relegated en- tirely to tine shades of antiquity have only to glance at the new millinery and see  side by side in popularity.
 Besides the beautiful coral jewelry which modshes are wearing, the touch of coral color on the gown is considered quite a la mode. With the pale grays, black, green or white, 1t is particularly happy combination, and Is becoming to most people

A Wrong Way To Iron.

It would be such satisfactory arrange ment if all of the right people could read about the wrong way to iron, but all of the wrong people are sure to read what they already know, and the only hope Is, therefore. to have them pass 1t along to the right people
 A skirt may be perfectly made as to cut and finish, and plain shirtwaist may be an absolute fit and so easy to Iron that "any child could do it." Yet some laun- dresses. without that certain apprecia- ton of the cut of garments and the weave of goods, will invariably iron them hit or miss, running the iron on the crossway or the bias of the moist material thus ironing the twist fin permanently if the bias method has been employed, or short ening the garment perceptibly if 1t has been done on the cross weave. It is posi- lively easier for a laundress to iron with the goods" if the little trick were made plain to her.

HOME MADE QUININE
 HAIR TONIC

The high cost of a good quinine hair tonic prevents thousands of men and women from using such a preparation daily on the hair. This has resulted in the study and investigation of the sub feet by some bright men and women who use quinine hair tonic regularly but who do not care to pay for the ex- pensive ready made tonics. They find that by simply mixing one ounce of Beta-Quinol with half pint of water and half pint of alcohol that they can make more than a full pint of quinine hair tonic of better quality and more beneficial to the hair than any of the widely advertised brands. tonic made as described here will help the hair to become beautiful, glossy, long ana abundant. It tends to prevent dandruff and falling hair and keep the scalp in a healthy condition. This home made tonic is used by women who have most beautiful hair and plenty of 1t as we'll as those whose hair and scalp are not in perfect condition. The Beta QuinoI and alcohol can be procured at any drug store for 75c or soc and they will make more and better hair tonic than you could buy for $2.OO in a manufactured state.
