! Never was there q season when the
seeker after fads in stationery could
lind so many charming conceits TO
choose from. In the early part of the
winter we had the blue bird adapted
to all social requirements The birds
adorned the upper left hand corners
of cards and paper, while the paper
was tinted a delicate blue, or the en-
velopes were lined with vivid blue,
Just the hue Of the birds plumage.
Now the blue bird must take second
place, for chantecler holds the center
of the stage. Among the stationery
novelties for which Rostand's play is
responsible are things both startling
! and beautiful. Chantecler letter and
note paper invitation and dinner
cards are tinted in vivid red, orange,
pumpkin yellow or buff, with chantec-
Ter In bright colors occupying a con-
spicuous position in the upper left
hand corner or at the top of the sheet.
Not to be outdone, the pheasant, too,
appears in natural colors, and there is
a smaller assortment of cards and
note paper with decorations of ami
mails heads.
The chantecler fed has turned loose
upon society, too, whole flocks of real,
feathered birds. These usually adorn
place and menu cards, and in form
and color the birds are perfect Moth
ing more exquisite in the line of feath-
er work has been attempted than
these tiny pheasants, peacocks, mack
avs, redbirds, canaries, owls, chickens
and roosters. Even pairs of tiny birds
are found upon bit of nest in
which cuddle mites of eggs. 1t is said
that no wild birds are killed for the
making of this feathered stationery,
the plumage being manufactured in
France from the feathers of domestic
fowls
Suffrage and airships also provide
motives for the adornment of the sea-
sons stationery The real enthusiast
for the votes-for-women cause writes
her notes on yellow tinted paper, dec
Grated at the top Of the page with
pair of scales balanced above the
word Equality" and it is evident
that she does not despise social diver
sions, because invitation and place
cards appear in the same rich color
and with the same suggestive embel-
lishment.
The airship novelties, which in
clude cloud craft wrought of paper in
all the forms known to the navigators
of the air. are mostly used for aero
dinners, both as favors and as place
and menu cards

Dates for the Northwestern Land Pro-
ducts Show Are Set.

The Northwestern Products Show,
under the auspices of the Northwestern
Development League, will take place
from December IL to %, and will be
held in the Saint Paul auditorium, one
of the finest buildings of its kind in the
country.
The dates we're decided upon after
advice had .,been received from the
various western states Interested and
the dates of state fairs and other ex-
positions had been considered. The
dates selected will give those who wish
to exhibit in Chicago, an opportunity
to bring their exhibits to Saint Paul
for the Northwestern Land Products
Show, as the Chicago Land Exposition
closes December 8.
The entire enterprise has but one
object in view, according to officials OF
the league, and that object is to aid in
the development of Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana, Idaho, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Minnesota and Alaska.
The Northwestern Land Products ex-
hibit viii. be something more than a
mere land show, aMd will include not
only products, but resources of the
country.
The Northwestern Development
League is defined by its officers as an
educational movement" seeking to
make people acquainted with the facts
about the fertile northwest.
1t is planned to make the exhibit ar
annual affair to be held in subsequent
years in various cities of the North
west, which will serve to stimulate
activity, since the exhibit, being com

The Spread of Gold Dredging.

While no other state is soon likely to
rival California in the extent of its
gold dredging industry, evidences ac-
cumulate of the spread of this branch
Of the business throughout the west.
Dredging opportunities are being
brought to notice FROM many directions.
No form of gold mining is more certain
and, accordingly, more attractive to
capital; and this is sufficient to Justify
the expectations concerning the dredg-
ing outlook. In possible magnitude
and reliability the only other depart
ment of mining that is, perhaps, COM
parable to the dredger placer business
is that of the ''porphyry" coppers,
and this comparison, of course, is pade
from the point of view Of the investor,
who is interested in the proven stability
of his enterprise. '.iJust as the dissent
mated copper deposits are demonstrated
for years in advsAce by means of the
drill, so also is the dredge gold deposit
when properly tested.
From the foregoing point of viewit
may be said that the chief Importance
to the gold dredger is. ithe.testing of
his gravels. 1t is: indeed necessary to
secure large capital to install the ex-
pensive equipment; but ample capital
is certain to be found available for any
piece of ground that can stand;up to
the test, which is reason enough for ex-
pecting the gold dredges Of thenUni tie
States to sho& henceforth continuous
increase in the Percentage which their
output bears TO the total gold recovery
of the country. A tested tract OF
dredge ground at onde assumes. the
value and importance Of mine before
any step has been taken toward pro
duction, because the dredge Is stand

THE MOUNTAIN HOME.

By Florence M. Humphreys.
Alone it stands on the hillside,
, Allbrown and ugly and old,
The home of lone proprietor,
The home of hunter of gold.
Below it the stream flows swiftly,
Where wild flowers make it bright,
1t mirrors swaying willows,
Sweet ferns and daisies white.
Wild roses nod in the doorway,
They cover the rough log wall;
The quiet home is guarded
By pine trees dark and tall.
When the evening sun is sinking
And twilight, fills the airss;
The miner fears the singing
Of the bird solitaire.
1t, too, IS living lonely,
"A bird, without mate,
Reminding him with its crying
That theirs is the selfsame fate.
But the cheerful gold filled mountains
Look down from their snowy height
And say in tones of comfort
"We yield you treasures bright.
