UNCLE SAM'S LOYAL FORGE.
Some Bureau Chiefs Who Have
 Turned Fortunes Aside.

There are men here who are doing for the government for 5000 a year services for which they would be paid from s1O.OOO to s25.OOO by private firms. Take pr. Wiley. for instance He gets from the government the ex- ceedingly modest salary of 5000 a year. Were he to accept an offer to become the head of some of the big food. drug. or other manufactur- ing concerns that would like to use his knowledge and his name he might obtain s25,0OO year easily and share of the profits besides.
 One of the best examples of all is Logan Waller Page. the director of the United States office of public roads He is a typical illustration of the kind of men that the United States gov ernment Is able to attract to her ser vice.
 He is about forty-one years old and was born in Richmond. Va. He is of a distinguished family. He was educat- ed at Powder Point School, Bear ls- land Academy. Virginia Polytechnic Institute. and Harvard University. Then he studied at the French School
  which he made a special study of the systems of road construction in use in other countries in Europe.
 It was Logan Waller Page who in- augurated the testing laboratory of the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard in 1898, and he was in charge of this laboratory and with the Massachu- setts Highway Commission from 1895 to 1900. He then organized the dl- vision of tests of the Department or Agriculture. and was chief of that di- vision from 1900 to 1905. He has been director of the office of public roads since 1905, at which time the office was formed by uniting the division of tests with the office of public road inquiry.
 The scientists under Director Page could obtain big salaries were they willing to work for private concerns. MT. Page himself might easily obtain five times his present salary by work ing for a private concern. He pat ented his oil-cement- concrete invention "a mixture that is absolutely imper- vious to water and is said to make the best kind if paving material-and gave it to the people. Anybody can use It; MT. Page don't get a cent out of IL Had he wanted to leave the govern ment service he might have made million out of it.-From the Philadel- phia Inquirer.

THOUSAND CIRCULAR
 LETTERS TO cOLoN|sTs
Board of Trade Prepares Summary
 of Valleys Progress.

One thousand circular letters were prepared yesterday by MT. Harry Welch, secretary of the Phoenix board of trade, and mailed to people who are known to be considering the Salt River valley as a place of business, farming or residence.
 There were four inclosures in each letter. One, a monthly summary of building industrial and farming ac tivity centering in Phoenix. This monthly summary was an idca orig mated by MT. Welch, as was also a second enclosure called The Arizona Bulletin.'' confined to general news of interest concerning mining. cattle. railroad. real estate, school. farming and irrigation conditions throughout Arizona.
 An article taken from The Repub- lican of July Is. describing the expe- ricnces of people who came 10 the Salt River valley to make homes. was reprinted and mailed with the bulle- tins. The fourth inclosure was a list of colonist rates to this city from the principal railroad points of the eoun- tEy. designed to inform prospective settlers of the best and most econom- ical way of reaching Phoenix
 Both the Arizona Bulletin and the Monthly Summary are published in full, as they contain news which is certain to be of interest to every citizen and resident of the valley.

BIBS ARE PRETTILY SHAPED
Accepted Form Has Been Proved to
Be Capable Of Many Dainty
Transformations.

Fashion does not admit of much lati-
tude in the form of bib, but it is the
fancy now to vary the accepted form
as much as possible, making triangular
and pointed-shaped ends, and as new
an outline as possible. One triangular
style is prettily finished with three
rows of narrow lace. The fine top
piece Is sewed to its thick lining be-
meath the second row of lace. Even
rubber bibs have become attractive,
and are thin and soft to the touch,
with finish on the outer side like
fine weave of figured nainsook. 1t is
customary to haste these thin rubber
bibs beneath fancy ones of thin ma
terial, although 1t is an open question
whether rubber is good thing to lay
over baby's chest-Harper's Bazaar.

FASHION IN WRITING PAPER
Long, Narrow Envelope in which
Folded Square Sheet Fits Is
the Mode at Present.

Practically all fashionable writing
paper is accompanied by long and
narrow envelopes in which the folded
square sheet fits. Styles in dies
change with other fashions that gov
ern correct writing-paper. The most
popular monogram die today is circu-
lar in form, with the circle usually in
Dictated by the shape of the letters.
Another popular die is diamond
shaped, and is placed in the middle of
a page at the top. Drop letters, too,
especially in script type, retain their
popularity, but are now made long,
very narrow. and more decorative,
with linked and interlaced letters.
Indeed interlaced letters are the rule
in new dies, and the latest designs
look like Egyptian hieroglyphics rath-
er than any letters known to this

creamy and priceless. She wore a
great feafhered hat, which, dropping,
almost hid her small, pale face and
her golden hair. She drew off her
gloves as she came In and her white,
jeweled hands flashed. She looked
infinitely tired and extremely bored.
AS soon as she took her seat at the
table intended for her party, Poni-

CHAPTER vi.
GaIorey Seeks Advice.

Blair did not go back at once to Os
dene Park. He stopped over In Lon
don for few days to see Joshua Rug
giles. and so remarked for the first
time the difference between the
speech of the old and the new world
Mr. Ruggles spoke broadly. with com
plete disregard OF the frills and adorn
ments of the Kings English. He
spoke United Staten of the pure
broad. western brand. and 1t rang out

as Ruggles didn't care who heard him
nothing of what he had to say was
lost.
Old Mr.. Blair had left behind him

go the old man knew that his Oar
would not be bankrupt.
Advice" Dan Blair senior once
said to his boy, is the kind of thing
we want some fellow to give us wher
we amt going to do the thing we
ought to do, or are a little ashamed oil
something We have done. It's an aw
full good way to get cured OF asking
advice just to do what the fellow tells
you to at once"
During Ruggles' stay In London the
young fellow looked to 1t that Rug

To Dress the Hair.

Among the most artistic coiffures is
one in which the hair is draped in an
undulating fashion, so as to cover the
ears. With this goes the wide silver
fillet, which encircles the head, while
at the back two or three soft curls
droop carelessly from the band of sill
yer. A fashion that finds favor with
some women is the wearing of a
head band of colored ribbon, embroid.

wreaths of pink roses with pearl CEN
tiers are favored by the young girl.

A number of new tracks are among

Another kick the commissioners
raised was an elevation of foot over

The grade would then reach seven

The city wishes to keep the tracks
open to public passage at the foot o.
