FASHIONS.

Every other hat seems turned up
at the left side.
FLUFFY malines are usurping the
place OF the jabot.
There is a vogue for full draperies.
The little bonnet is coming in for
evening occasions.
Wetered and moire silk surfaces
were never more popular than now.
Among the fads OF the moment is
that OF dyeing furs To match the
gown,
The spherical button in gilt and
also in silver is appearing among the
novelties in dress trimming.
Small dUgsKtn gloves for tiTr-- -ftt-te
one are made like a mans glove and
close with single clasp
The latest aigrets are shaped like
palm leaf fan and many OF them
have two small Mercury wings poised
at the base in most effective man
ner.
The pun is again in evidence: It
adorns the sleeve anywhere. seeming
ly. between the shoulder and wrist
There is little limitation upon the
length of sleeves but the general ten
dency is toward shorter ones.
one of the newest OF the new"
sleeves is close-ftting half way to the
elbow and then appears a long pun
whose nllness is caught in by long
tight cuff.
Some OF the handsomest evening
and house dresses are glove-fitting
princess forms with leaning toward
the stiff boned waist portion.
There are renewed predictions that
the old hip paniers are to come back
into style and that it will be before
the winter is over.
Plaitings OF narrow box plated
black velvet ribbon are used again in
trimmings. not only for coats and
gowns. but for hats.
Black satin dinner gowns with only
gold or silver lace in the bodice or
sleeves 10 relieve them are among the
smartest evening costumes.
The Robin Hood hat is decidedly
piuuant. made of green velvet with a
hrim Of russet beaver and with cou-
pie of queer feathers at the side.
Large turban toques with crowns or
draped velvet and brims Of FUR are
among the most generally attractive
and becoming Of the winter hats.
The smartest overcoats for the
small boy are double breasted. with
plain coat sleeve.

Outline of Work of Reclamation.

An article from Spokane, Washing ton, regarding the importance of the work of the National Irrigation Con- gress, which will have it's seven- teenth session in Spokane, August 9-l4, R. Insinger, chairman of the board of control, says:
 "The national reclamation act was passed in 1902. At that time there were in the governments name in the sixteen states affected 600, ,00O, 900 acres ofsarid land, of which it was estimated possible to reclaim suf- ficent to support 50,OO0,0OO people. By 1911 the reclamation service will have reclaimed nearly 2,0O0, 900 acres, at an estimated cost of S70, 1000, ,O00. There are 40,OOO,O00 acres of arid land susceptible to reclamation by irrigation. The construction cost of the reclamation works is returned to the government from the sale of land, the proceeds to be again used in furthering irrigation development. Irrigation is making a garden spot and an eupire of the Great Ameri- can Desert, and the work of the irri- gation congress is yet in its infancy"

Sisters Hospital Assured for Douglas.

The two story building at the cor ner of Thirteenth street and B avenue, known as the Litchficld lu1ld- ing and owned by James Wood, has been rented by Catholic sisters who are coming here from Goldfeld, Ne vada, to open a hospital. Mother Agnes will be in charge of the hos pital and it is expected that it will be ready to care for patients by the first of July. MT. Wood received a letter from Mother Agnes stating that she had shipped a car load of furniture to Douglas and that she ex- pected to arrive in the city about June 15, accompanied by those who would assist her in caring for the hospital and its patients.
 There has bee- talk of this hospital in Douglas for several mouuths but this is the first definite information concerning it. In connection with the hospital story it has also been predicted that this was only the first step towards the establishment of a convent here to be under the super vision of the Catholic church.
 Father Gheldorf stated a few days ago that the house to be taken for the beginning of the hospital would only be. used for that purpose until such time as arrangements could be made for building d modern hospital building in this city.-Douglas Inter- natiopal

ArizOna's Place in Agriculture.

Prof. w. J. McGee, secretary of the national conservation commission and member of the board of govern ors of the national irrigation con gress, was the principal speaker in Tucson one night last week at the university commencement exercises. In the course of his address Prof. McGee devoted himself mainly to the agricultural possibilities of Ari- zona and he made statement which he said would be received with sur prise in some parts of the country.
 He said that it was now generally understood that Arizona was among the richest. if not the very richest of the mineral regions of the United States. He would predict, though, that before long Arizona would be better known for its agricultural than for it's mineral wealth and would become the richest agricultural region in the union. There was not of course,. he said, such great un- broken areas of agricultural lands as there are in some of the so-called agricultural states, but he said that the greater fertility of the soil here and the ability of it to produce so many crops a season would overcome the difference in area.
