City Auditot.

The homesteaders in the north
ern part Of the state are anxious
that the government begin it's
geological survey Of the sections in
which they are holding hOmesteads.
They cannot get title to any bit
surface of their lands until after
the survey is completed, ard the
question of the sxsistanca of coal
in such quantities a. to make min
ing profitable is settled. When
ths survey 10 completed, those
whose claims do not lie over work
able coal beds will get clear title to
their tracts, and those who ap-
parently hold lands which are
underlaid with coal in suffi ent
quantity to make working it profit
able wall kAow just what they
really do have in the wav of rights
from the government. tits claim
ed by the settlers that large
amount of the land held under
suspension under the order Of
last fall, will not show enough
co,l to be of value for mining, and
these particularly desire to have
the work Of the survey pushed aud
their titles settled.

BAMBOO FOR SUMMER HOMES
Light and ServiceabIe Material Is
Now Employed Whenever 1t
Can Be Utilized.

Wood-brown bamboo, woven into
all sorts of pretty and useful shapes
for the adornment of summer house
and veranda, occupies a conspicuous
place in oriental stores these days.
We are all more or less acquainted
with the possibilities of the Japanese
and Chinese tree, but certainly we
never see it to better advantage than
in the queer articles which decorate
summer rooms so prettily.
T; Flower vases are among the most
popular of the bamboo developments.
They come in a variety of shapes, the
most effective being the earthenware
shapes we are accustomed to asso-
iciate with Mexico or the Indians.
Inside are sheet iron or metal re-
,ceptacles to hold the water Most
any flower would show to advantage
against the dull brown of the bamboo.
Flat tea trays of bamboo are light
and effective, especially when the
table is laid on the veranda Hang
ing baskets in every conceivable
shape swing from plant bamboo
cords.

TO BUILD FATTENING CRATE
Usually Divided Into Three Compart-
ments, Each Holding From
Four to Six Birds.

Patching crates are usually made
six feet long, 18 to 20 inches high and
10 inches wide. The crate is divided
into three compartments, each holding
from four to six birds, according to
the size of the chicken. The crate
is made of Stats usually one and a
half inches wide by five-eighths inch
thick Those in front are placed two
inches apart to allow the birds to put
their heads throug- 70" feeding. The
Stats on the bottom are placed three
fourths of an inch apart allowing
the dropping to go through. Care
should be taken not to have the first
bottom Stat at the back fit too closely
against the back, or the droppings
will collect and decompose. The
Stats on the bottom should be one inch
by one-half inch, and run lengthwise
of the crate. The Stats on the back
and top are usually two inches apart.
A frame is made of one and one-half
inch by one inch.
Very fair coops may be made from
old packing boxes by taking off the
front and bottom and substituting stats
in their places. During warm weather
these crates may be placed out of
doors

HAD BEEN SILENT SUFFERER
Subordinate Office the Recipient of
Hints Intended for His
Superior.

A sea captains wife tells this story
of a maiden woman, sister of one of
the owners of the ship on which she
once made long voyage. She had
very decided opinion on most matters,
and she and, the captain had many
spirited arguments at the dinner table.
The captains wife, meek. submis-
sive little soul, fearing that in the
heat of argument her husband might
say something to offend their august
passenger, was in the habit of kick
ing him on the shins to hint at moder-
alton. Nevertheless, all these remind
ers passed unheeded.
One day she administered a more
vigorous kick than usual, and noticed
an expression of pain fit across the
face of the mate, who sat opposite
her.
"Oh, MI. Brown, was that your
shin?" she asked
Yes, Mrs. Blaikie," said the mate,
meekly; hits been my shin hall the
voyage, ma'a youths Companion.

BROCADES IN HIGH FAVOR
Makers and Designers Return to BY
gone Age for Material and
Fabric.

AS the fashions seem to have gone
back nearly a century in line and gen.
eral effect, so have the makers and
designers returned to a bygone age
for material and fabric. Brocades are
in high favor for formal evening
dresses at present and lend them
selves we'll to the quaint high-waisted
effects and straight, narrow skirts
which are now the mode.
Black and gold combinations, which
are perhaps the favorite of the bro
cades, are extremely beautiful. Ivory
white with pastel pink and corn color
are also lovely, the soft pastel shades
being particularly dainty But in ad-
dition to those are the brilliant empire
greens, East Indian yellows, brilliant
blues, deep amethyst and black.
The beauty of the texture of these
fabrics and the perfection of the dye,
together with the large, though some
what conventional patterns, result in
wonderfully attractive fabrics.

Summer Evening Wraps.

Evening wraps are unusually novel
this season, the great vogue for sheer
materials finding a happy expression
in these more elaborate garments.
Marquisette wraps are the latest nov
elites, and while exorbitant prices
are asked for them In the smart
shops, there is no reason why any
smart woman could not fashion one
for herself, or at least plan one and
have it made at very little expense.
Black, white, Alice blue, gray, gold
and kings blue are good colors for
these little wraps. Many of them are
cut on extremely simple lines, with
the kimono sleeve and plain back and
front. There seems to be No ATTEMPT
to fasten these garments. They gre
cut so that the fronts just meet, and
are apparently designed to hang free.

1T LENDS TO DECORATION
Woodwork, in Bedroom Particularly.
Repays Skill and Time Spent In
Making 1t Appropriate.

Beautiful woodwork is as important
In a bedroom as in the dwelling rooms
Of the house, but its character is en-
tirely different. Where the wood is
left in it's natural state, finished only
with a coat of wax or lacquer, or with
light stain that changes the tint
without Disgusting the character OF
the wood, it should be light and fine
grained, if possible, like birch, maple
Or cherry Pine is best when enameled
In pure white or an ivory tone, and
so treated will be charmingly effective
In a great number of color combina-
tons. Maple stained to silver gray
like the color of hornets nest is one
of the very prettiest woods for bed

woodwork and furniture. Mahogany
furniture is beautiful in room plan
ned to contrast well with it, but 1t 1s
best used for furniture alone, as 1t Is
rather too full of color for the wood
work. An almost universally salts
factory treatment for the walls is to
have the head castings of the doors and
windows carried all around the rooms
as a frieze rail, and slender upright
partitions of wood SO placed between
the frieze rail and Dashboard so as to
divide the wall spaces into compart-
ments or panels. This structural di-
vision allows wide variations in the
decoration of the walls. The frieze
may either be plain and exactly like
the ceiling with a decided contrast
showing in the panels below, or it may
be in a color contrasting with both
and forming connecting link between
