"The damages to our track and road

While the road from Winnemucca east

tanned speed of rs mills per hour with
perfect safety, the floods did consid-
cradle damage to the work, and for
the purpose of repairing this and wild
ening out the roadbed, we now have a
steamshovel employed at the Cluro
gravel pit, near Beowawe. taking out
large quantities of gravel. The pro-
duet is being distributed along the line
between Winnemucca and Salt Lake,
where large forces of men are at work.
"The gravel for ballasting between
Winnemucca and Gerlach is being tax
en- from the Sulphur gravel pit, where
another steamshovel is at work. In or
der to complete the task at an early
date, we are hiring every man who
applies for job, and will continue to
do so until the ballasting of this freight
division has been completed, when the
entire line from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco will be ready for passenger
service
Mr.. Stansbury will leave for Elko

two there, will continue on to Salt

From reliable sources it is learned
that the Western Pacific will inaugu-
rate its passenger service about the
first of July.

HIGH SCHOOL RE-
CE|VES fine Rating

Prof. Grimm, principal of the high
school, is in receipt of advices to the
effect that, at the meeting of the State
University committee recently held,
the Winnemucca high was given cred
its of l712. This result is no doubt due
to the report of Prof. Hartman, who in
spected the school some two or three
weeks ago.
No pupil is permitted to enter the
university from a school that has less
than Is credits, and as the Winnemuc.
ca school has been awarded 21a more
than the minimum, it means that pu-
pills from this school will be able to ac-
eomplsh four-year course in three
years, with but little additional work.
The Winnemucca high school is less
than a year old, and this favorable
rating by the chief educational insti-
tuition of the state speaks volumes for
the efficiency of its management.

VELVET In VOGUE FOR AFIERNOON The
The Latest
In Blouses

T UST as a rest from the ever-com-
pelling questions of dress come again
- new ideas in blouses. They are beau
tiful in lines and colors and occur in
such variety that every woman should
be suited.
There's the velvet blouse. for instance.
It is a natural outcome OF the reign OF
velvet, and for women who cannot wear
the hlmy chiffon and net blouses this
favorite material promises mOdish COM
fort
Velvet bIouses are made to adhere
rather closely to the lines OF the figure.
No fuIlness is used at the shoulder line.
and generally the front and back are
plain This allows the sleeves and
bodice to be cut in one piece from the
ordinary width of velvet The sleeves
are short. but can be edged with broad
bands Of silk. braid or perhaps fur. In
nearly. every case. sub-cufrs or lace or
net Iengthen the velvet form The yoks
and collars are transparent
Now as to trimming. The velvee
blouse Is very fine as a background for
a military decoration. Cords. buttons.
braid in colors or in metallic shades
are much IN vogue. These are quite
simply applied, the straight lines OF
loops on the front and shoulders being
easily made and very stunning.
A cascade of inch lace Is a touch that
is elegant, especially on black velvet
Deep revers OF satin. too, are in order.
while Persian and japanese embroidery
enrich blouse OF velvet in a wonder
ful way.
Ninon de sole, marquisette chiffon and
cotton voile are the favorite materials
for other blouses. The lines on which
these are cut are simple. Innings ok
silk, lace or net are inevitable and ire
quently the whole trimming is under
the slip-1ust one OF the outcroppings
Of the hidden beauty of the hour
Perhaps white porcelain beads are the
most effective. They are applied on ir-
regular plaques. as bands TO outIins
yokes, and the very latest Is the hand
application OF beads il a tiny conven-
tional design on the entire surface O1
the blouse.
The bolero line Is suggested In many
blouses. A strip Of colored satin IS
brought from the seams under the arms
and pointed up toward the center OF
the front and back. Metallic lace is
used in similar fashion and butterfly
bows Of tulle. silk or chiffon velvet
burst from the beautiful Innings at un-
expected places. The result L. charm
ing.
Satin blouses are made quite like
these others. The satin must match in
color the shade Of the suit. II 1t does
not, there is the white satin blouse
made military style. trimmed with
black, gold or silver.
No longer is the blouse the ill-6tting,
bulky "ready-made' garment OF other
years. It is now a thing OF beauty and
satisfying to wearer and to observer.
The San Francisco call., 1910-12-25

Raccoon is widely used on both dark
and light backgrounds. 1t being longer
haired fur. is generally all that is re-
quired for trimming
If the question of brims or separate
crowns be under consideration sealskin
in the genuine or imitation is the most
favored. 1t wears well and its rich
brown harmonizes with all colors. Chin
chilla is just as beautiful, but less dur
able. 1t combines with bright coral,
green, blue or orange with fine effects
From huge crowns for turbans to just
few disks of fur on a large velvet hat
this gray peltry claims your admiration.
Turbans with bands of fur at the
bases of their crowns are evident If
the supply permits, you may add bind
ing OF the same fur on the under sur
face of the brim. This style. by the
way. is just as effective for young faces
as for older ones. Fur-trimmed mil
linery then. IL you can afford it, is the
latest cry from Paris.
