SEVEN DAYS IN ONE.
A Great Success Win be Repeated
Tonight Many Good Gifts.

St Martins Church Sunday-Schoo
room was transformed last nigh
into bower Of holly and cedar fol
"Seven Days in One. 1t took muct
hard work on the pant of the com.
mittee to decorate the large room,
but the effect paid for their efforts.
Every pillar was twined with cedar,
and holly and rcd berries were used
most effectively in arches and to dec
crate booths, of which there were
seven -one for each day in the week.
OF course, Mondays booth was the
laundry booth 1t was desi gnated by
a hand painted placard neatly and at
tractively done showing a little girl
doing her weeks wash for the dolls
of her family. At this booth, soap,
starch. laundry bags. clothes pins, blue
and such things were sold.
Every booth was made significant
of the day ii represented by attrac-
tive paintings representing the work
usually done On that day of the
week These were beautifully de-
signed in water colors by Miss He'd
wig Schaeffer, a graduate of the
Maryland Institute of Art and De-
sign, Baltimore.
At Tuesdays booth, 'ironing
day" was set forth in clothes horses,
wax for irons, irons, iron holders
and toys for children in these arti
cles. Miss Heller presided at this
booth and everything was reasonably
priced.
Wednesday, sewing day, contained
everything useful and ornamental in
the way uf needlework. The painting
above this booth was especially at
tractivs, showing mother patching
little Willie's trousers while he had
them on.
Thursday, reception day, was devoted
to articles for tea and dainties.
Friday cleaning day, was repre-
sented by picture of the famous old
Dutch Cleanser, and Saturday, baking
day, was booth for the sale of cakes,
confectionery and the like. The
hand painted card above this booth
was especially attractive and repre-
sented two little girls making mud
pies.
Everybody wondered what was go
ing TO be given away" at the Sunday
booth, the picture above which was
q study. Two cats we're stationed on
a brick wall in front of bedroom
window, and were practicing a duet.
This was ths music BOOTH. where
the splendid musical progam of the
evening was"given away" Indeed, it
was we'll arranged and we'll exe-
cuted program of vocal and instru-
mental music for the entertainment
of patrons.
The "Seven Days in One is very
pleasing and novel, and well worth
genrous patronage. Many articles
offered at the booths are very rea-
sonable and will make good Christ
mas presents. Besides the booths
there is coy nook for ice cream
and cake, or sandwiches and hot
coffee or chocolate, to which the
tickets entitle the purchaser or which
are on sale. There is also a flower
booth.
The Seven Days in Jne" will be
repeated tonight. Don't miss it.
You will see many cheaply priced ar
ticles for Christmas which are not
cheap in style or make.

MOOSE PRIMARIES
 A SLOW AFFAIR
Tho Bull Moose Of Washington S |, = = |, '! Nominate an Ex-Prize Fight
 or for Governor

Seattle Sept. 9.-The Progress sive primaries, which were held on Saturday, boiled light vote, but little interest apparently be- ing taken in the affair. From pres ent indications Sheriff Bob Hodge is probably nominated for gover- nor and perhaps John Bellaine will be nominated for congress- man at large.
 The Progressivcs held indc- pendent primaries owing to the fact that they were late in filing declarations of candidacy and will go on the official ballot by pcti- tion. The regular state primar- ics will take place tomorrow. It is generally conceded that Gov. Hay will receive the Republican nomination. II will take a count of the vote to determine who will
 cad the Democrats.

pr. Martin Studies the Effects of the Recent Volcanic Erup-
 tion

G. C. Martin, of the Geological Survey, was returning paSsen- ger on the Mariposa, having been to the westward since the erup- tiOn studying the phenomena of the late eruption of Katmai. Tha survey being short of funds, the National Geographical Society supplied the necessary expense of the trip of Mr. Martin to the scene of the disturbance.
 For month Mr. Martin was aboard the revenue cutter Mann ing and went on that vessel to Katmai village, when the natives were taken off. He says that the ash is so deep on the mainland and so light that travelling in that section is impossible and that an attempt to ascend Mt. Katmai this season would be an impossibility. He says he has no doubt but that the eruption came from Mt. Kat mai, but that a number of vents might have opened some distance apart, leaving the impression that other mountains had erupted. Af- ter having left the Manning MT. Martin secured small power boat and exxplOred the coast line to determine what effect the disturb ances had on the coast line. He said that the natives who had losI ihcIr homes were now comfort al ly -I uated and being looked af- i'I by the government.
