FASHION NOTES.

The rage for jet has extended to
hair bands, and black ribbons are es-
pecially chic upon blond heads.
Fibre grass waterproof bags in
stead of suit cases are being used by
many travellers. They are more con-

than suit cases.
A number of this seasons gowns
for young girls show the panel front
and back which has proved such a
popular feature for oldsr girls and
women.

LIFE OF A LUMBERJAcK.
Months Of Hard Labor Followed by
One Grand Drunk.

In the great Northwest history has
been largely made by a man almost
unknown as yet to song and story,
the "man with the axe" known in
every day parlance as the lumber
jack.
In the fall just before winter sets
in the lumbermen in the business
centres send out their tote teams,
SO called because they are used to
transfer the necessaries of life to
the scene of the winters work.
Thousands of men from the docks,
the harvest fields-from everywhere
follow these teams to the woods
for the season. From the moment
they join until camp breaks up in
the spring there is hard, unrelent
ing work.
The strictest discipline is maintain
ed, says Pearson's Magazine; the
men are up at 4 o'clock in the morn
ing and work until dark with the
exception of the noon time stop for
dinner. Lights are out every night
at o'clock.
The cook, a very important person
in the camp, with his assistants, is
first up in the morning, and one OF
the most noticeable things about
modern logging camps is the great
change in the bill of fare. The noon
day meal is usually prepared and car
ried out to where the men are work
ing, to save time. The cook brings
the dinner piping hot and the men
eat it, sitting on freshly felled logs,
often with the thermometer regis
tering 80 below zero.
But it is at the evening meal when
the days work is finished that the
men are at their best; there they
talk and laugh and enjoy themselves.
After the meal is over they go to
the bunk house and light their pipes,
sing songs and tell stories.
In every camp is general supply
store where the men may procure
the necessaries of life. No liquor Is
sold, as the rule against drinking is
rigidly enforced. Often men, craving
the stimulant to which they are ac-
customed, drink patent medicines III

In the average camp nearly every
nationality is represented. The
foreman will tell you that he likes
the Irish for bosses. the Germans

too light and erratic for the heavy
work, besides being too quarrelsome,
interfering with the discipline OF
camp life.
Four-fifths Of the men employed
in lumber camps are Incorporate, it
is said. The long enforced abstin-
ence in the winter but aggravates
their craving for liquor, and in the
spring when they are released from
the discipline of camp life they hur-
~ to the nearest town with their
earnings. What happens then is OF.

MARRIED BY TOO MUCH PRETTI
NESS.

Americans dress we'll, says the
Paris correspondent Of Truth, and it
seems to me the least wealthy dress
in the best taste. Their great de-
feet is a love almost amounting to a
passion for what is pretty, dainty,
cunning and amusingly fanciful.
The latter, 1 admit, is first cousin
to chic. But prettiness is the mega
ton of higher beauty, and this most
French women are artistic enough to
see.
Spanish American ladies and Bra
zilians are also infatuated with the
passion for what is pretty, and do
not lose it in Europe, which the
North American often does.
They get bitten with it in the
chapels of convent schools under
Jesuit direction.
Nuns love insipid prettipess. The
pretty Christmas card originated in
Belgian converts. If you want grand
style in lace do not go to Belgium
but to Venice, and if you want ad
mirable simplicity in feminine dress
look for it in the portraits of the
great Italian masters. 1t will put you
out of the conceit with the modern
creations of the Rue de Ia Paix.
I never saw the late Sybil Sander
son in a prodigally costly stage or
drawing room dress. She knew she
had a neck, shoulders and arms that
spoke for their own matchless beau
ty. To dress them up and deck them
out would have been proclamation.
A light cambria undergarment,
Florence silk urfderskirt, and a nuns
veil frock, sleeveless and with gath
cred corsage, were all she needed.
She had no taste for jewelry or for

of Oakland in the north. There

If San Francisco can get away
with this series by substantial

Especial Dispatch TO The Call

PORTLAND, Aug. 1.-THE Beavers
won from Oakland today. to 0, in the
twelfth inning of a keen battle between
Vean Gregg, Portland's southpaw, and
Willis, with the odds in favor of Gregg.
The exhibition was interesting, not
merely for the superb performances of
the fingers, but for the splendid fielding
accomplished by both Sides
Gregg was easily the big din of the
show allowing but one safe hit and
striking out Is men, The visitors lone
hit was not registered until the eighth
inning and not a solitary commuter
reached third. Willis record during the
game was not one to make the sensitive
Oakland fans blush with shame, for he
allowed but three hits in nine innings
and walked nary a man, while Gregg
issued two passes and hit one man.
Not a Beaver cluttered up third base
until the twelfth. With one out in the
last act Fisher smote one in the direc-
ton of the right field fence and Hogan
simply couldn't do a thing with it.
Casey then dropped one behind Wolver-
ton and it -skidded along into the left
field bleachers, Fisher perching safely
on third. Then it was that Sheehan
pasted one that Wares didn't care about
interrupting and Fisher came in with
the lone run.
Portland might have scored earlier in
the game had things broken better.
Buddy Ryan clouted one into right that
would have hit the fence and been good
for a base any way, had not Hogan
made a phenomenal catch The only
errors were on the Oakland side of the
ledger. Casey made a double play I'M
assisted. catching a liner and getting a
runner on second. Score:
