Graves; how the navy department
stated it did not desire to use Con-
troller bay as reservation; how the
matter was considered fully by the
forestry bureau, the secretary of ag-
riculture, the secretary of the inter
Tor, the general land office and the
cabinet AS a result, after an inter
view between the president and Mr..
Ryan, an order was drafted eliminat-
ing 800 acres.
Meanwhile Mr. Ryan had satisfied
the president and other officials that
he and his associates had no connec-
ton with the Morgan-Guggenheim in
terests and were engaged in an in
dependent enterprise in good faith to
build an Independent railroad. The
question again came before the cab
met, and the president, with the ap-
prevail of the secretaries of the in
terror and agriculture, changed the
order so that it eliminated 1880
acres, with sufficient room for a
railroad town. The message says:
81 was willing to do this because l
found the restrictions in the law suf-
ficient to prevent the possibility of
any monopoly of either the uplands
or the harbor or channel by the Con-

dent sets forth at length, and shows

appropriation of the harbor facilities

MARcuSE, CALIFORNIA,
LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARMING,

Marcuse Colony, located in Suffer
County, which is in the heart of the
Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to
the front as farming community in
which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known may be successfully raised
without irrigation.
The soil is a dark, sandy loan,
sedimentary in character, level and
well drained. 1t has the advantage
over other soils in that il is loose in
character and superior to heavy soils.
With this wealth of soil, abundance
of water, unexcelled climate and long
growing season, Marcuse Colony is
the ideal place for the homeseeker
with limited means, the worn out pro-
fessional man, or the young man look
ing for a small farm in a healthful
climate.
The proximity of Marcuse Colony to
Sacramento, furnishes a ready market
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits, vegetables,
alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry
yield large returns. The rainfall is
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is yet moderately priced, but
crop failures in other sections of the
United States will bring new settlers
in rapidly. This, together with the
holding Of the Panama Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco during 1915,
is bound to raise the price, and wheth-
er for a home. or for an investment,
now is the time to purchase. Land
may be had in tracts suitable to the
means of all and the results obtained
are almost heyond belief Further i'm.

TO PROTECT THIN STOCKINGS
VIII Last Longer by Adding Two or
Three Kinds of Harness
to One Pair.

The popularity of thin stockings,
which include Isle and silk, has
caused individuals and firms to invent
all kinds of guards to make these thin
stockings wearable The woman who
INDUCES in them has added two or
three kinds of harness to one pair of
stockings, but she makes by it in the
end, for her stockings last longer and
they do not show the large darns,
which are not attractive with slippers
and low pumps.
The first protection is round cha.
mois pad, which is attached to the end
of each corset elastic and goes be
tween the top of the stocking and the
steel hook. The pulling of the stock
ing comes against the chamois instead
of the metal and therefore one does
not have those unsightly Jacobs lad
ders which ruin the best stockings
ever made.
Another safety device is toe guard
of knitted silk. This comes in white
only and it can be worn under any
color of stocking without showing be-
cause of it's shortness. This catches
the impression of the toe and the silb
tassels of brilliants.

Use for Old Sleeves,

In ripping up old waists and coats
that have the old-fa shioned big sleeves
take and cut off the arm at the elbow
or below, which might be required;
now place the seams together and sew
up to within few inches of the top
The part that used to form the under
arm portion, as it went into the arm
hole, forms the front part; leave a
1a-inch place and then the sleeves
form a point where the two upper
sleeves were formerly gathered. Cut
this point off the size of the little
boys waist. Lay the exact seams to
gether now and cut them the middle
of each former sleeve. For the side
openings and face or bind; put peck
ct each side and face the tops. Make
six buttonholes, and you have as many
pairs of pants as you have old sleeves
nice for play and good enough for
school, if the cloth is fine. The curve
in the under arm brings the front and
the oval of the gathered part brings
the fulness for the seat just right

to letter of July Is, 1910, addressed
by Mr. Richard S. Ryan to Secretary
Ballinger-and in the present record
urging the elimination of land
enough for terminals for the Control
Ter Railway & Navigation company.
The postscript was said to read as fol
lows:

dent the other day. He asked me
who it was represented. 1 told him
according to our agreement, that l
represented myself. But that didn't
seem to satisfy him. So / sent for

his brother, the president, who it was

made no further objection to my
claim. Yours, DICK"

files of the department. If it were,
it would be my duty to transmit it
under this resolution. Who is really
responsible for its wicked fabrication

NEW NECkWEAR TIPS
HEAVY VALENCIENNES is SEA.
SONS LATEST NOTE.
Ecru Irish Lace Combined With Brus.
'els Net of Same Tone Makes
Attractive Stock and Jabot-

The simplest of the new straight
Valeneiennes lace collars sells for $40.
Baby Irish collars and baby Irish lace
IN all forms of neckwear are still pop
ular, but this heavy Valenciennes is
the seasons latest note. The newest
thing IN Irish lace and Irish insertion
is made of ecru thread. One exceed
ingly attractive stock and jabot is
made of ecru Irish lace combined with
tucked Brussels net of the same tone.
This sort of collar-marked six to
eight dollars in the shops could be
duplicated by the clever needlewoman.
The straight collar portion is made
OF a band of one-inch-wide Irish GRO
cheting and below this two-inch por-
ton of ecru net with four quarter
inch tucks going the length of the col
lar. A narrow facing of black satin
finishes the collar at the top. The
tabot is made of an irregular shape Of
ecru Irish crocheting, net and tiny
loops and rosettes of black satin.
There is charming soft collar sell
ing for rs cents that is sure to prove
popular with the woman whose neck
is irritated under high starched col
lar and who yet wants to have her
throat covered. 1t is made of fine
pique, in two-inch rundown style, In
white, ecru or light blue. The front
is held in place by small pearl link
which fastens under the windsor or
other soft tie to be worn with it. Other
styles of this collar are finished with
narrow buttonholing and embroidery
and are accordingly more expensive.
A new French embroidered collar
Is cleverly made with butterfly wing
on both sides of the front closing. In
one there is a buttonholed loop and
through this the other wing slips in
such a way that when closed and ad-

of the smartest and triggest pieces
Of neckwear shown this year.
In all the ties, bows and frills

little contrivance may be firmly glued
10 the wall and also nails driven
through the four holes to fasten it in
place more securely still. The wood
may be painted or stained a color to
match the wall and, therefore, be
