ROOSEVELT ROOMS AMERICAN RAIL WAY
 BONDS IN FRANCE.
Special from United Press.

(SDGC1dl lTOIR -IilltCu OSS.(
 New York, May 27.-The visit Colonel Theodore Roosevelt made to France recently has given the sale of American railway bonds in that coun- try tremendous impetus, according to Donald Harper, a prominent lawyer of Paris, who arrived today on the Mauretania. s.I have never seen American bonds take such hold in the French market as in the last few weeks" Harper said. Mot only are the French banks keen for them but the French public is eager to take these bonds off the bankers hands.
 ."Theodore Roosevelt is largely re- sponsible for this condition. His visit to France caused more good feeling in France toward America and Amer jeans than anything else in many years. His great speech at the Univ e1 sity of Sorbonne on Citizenship in a Republic has been sent all over France in pamphlet form, placed in the hands of school-children and has changed the temper of Frances statesmen as well as the public at large.

White dresses for girls.

Y ; There's an element of economy as we'll as a great deal of beauty in these white dresses for girls.
 If one figures the cost of the materials and findings for a dress of equal good ness, it will be found that they are, if anything, to be bought for less than they can be made.
 And in making those fig ures, one's time that is spent in making is not to be considered as worth any thing.
 Beside this, they are al most better made than they would be at home. They are produced by experts; in quantities to be sure; and so they are produced at low
  est possible cost.
 It pays to buy them. Real ly saves money and trouble. Fine fabric, finished with beautifully effective trim ming of lace and of embroid- cry, in all sizes from 6 to IA. -$2 to $12.50.

II the vote in Spokane today Is
any indication of the sentiment of
the state, it Is fairly certain that
woman suffrage will carry.
From all parts of the city comes
the report that the amendment
which will give the ballot is pull
ing a strong vote, and in nearly
every precinct which could be
reached the indications are that
the suffrage proposition will carry.
Good work has been done today
by the earnest women who went
to the polling places to urge the
voters to give them equal rights.
and although none of the workers
have resorted to stump speaking,
or soap boz methods, very few Of
the voters have been allowed to
reach the polling booths before at
least word has been said in
favor of giving women right to
vote.
That this quiet but earnest work
is bearing fruit is evidenced by the
number of voters who are express
sing themselves as in favor of the
movement, either prior to or sub
sequent to casting their ballots.
