argues desire on the part OF the
wearer to attract attension--the sort
OF attention that is not always pleas
ant. Flamboyant colors, eccentric
tiles of design, queer combinations
and effects are all SO many bids for
the public eye, and the public eye
is more inclined to be scornful than
approving. Moreover, such incurs-
ions into the field Of dress belong
to, a class the well bred woman does
not care to initiate.
The recent craze for building
gowns out of the least possible
amount OF material Is an example
OF the obvious in dress. So far has
this fad for scant dresses been car
ried that silk merchants declare they
are in danger OF being put out Of
business by the lessened demand fol-
fabrics. Petticoats are entirely Ia.
booed, and skirts are mere sheaths
that whip around the figure In 9
most disconcerting fashion. When
this style is exaggerated the result
may easily be imagined. Small won

GOVERNMENT BEGINS
FIGHT ON MONOPOLY

Cleveland.-The United States gov.
eminent began a fight here against
what is alleged to be one of the most
complete monopolies in the country,
when suit was filed against IS con-
Germs engaged in the manufacture of
incandescent lights.
According to the governments petit
ton, the defendant companies are in
a conspiracy in RESTRAINT of trade and
thereby have control of 81 per cent
of the country's supply of electric
lights.
The trust is alleged to have had
it's origin soon after 1904, the year
in which the patents on carbon fila
ment lamps expired. In 1906, it is
charged, combination known as the
Independent Lamp Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, obtained control of the
lamp output and fixed prices, allotted
business and prescribed rules of sale
for It's members.
The General Electric Company of
New York is stated to have owned
1872 per cent of the stock in this
combination and is accused of having
obtained exorbitant profits by re-
straining trade and forcing high
prices.

Pasco.-One of the largest single
purchases of Pasco lands yet recorded
was consummated when the Pasco
Fruit Lands Company, an offspring OF
the Pasco Reclamation Company,
bought 1868 acres of land from the
Northern Pacific Railway Company,
the purchase price being $144,555, or
little more than $5S per acre. This
'Iand could have been bought three
years ago at prices ranging from $25

rapidly in value since the Strahorn

All of the land lies under the ditch,
