A PALACE ON WHEELS.

According to officials of the Santa
Fe, the new era of extra service
railrOading, inaugurated by the Santa
Fe deluxe train a year ago, is now
firmly established This train of lux
ury, running once week in each
direction between Chicago and Los
Angeles, was so successful last year
that it will be continued during the
coming winter season, the first de-
parture being from Chicago, Dec
ember 10. and then every Tuesday
until April
Although the de-LuXe makes faster
time from Lakes to Coast by several
hours than the next fastest train on
any railroad, it's primary object is not
speed but service. That is why the
passenger pays the extra fare; not
to save a few hours Ell route Gas in
the case of the eastern lineS), but
primarily to get extra service on a
par with that of the finest clubs and
hotels ls-distinctive, individual and
exclusive. Not how fast, but how
good, perhaps best phrases this new
departure i'm transcontinental travel
And the public seem to like it,
thereby indicating that Americans are
not all speed mad.
Even the makeup of the deluxe

one compartment draWingrOom pull
man. a ten section observation pull
man, and a special dining car. The
club and dining cars are under man
agemant of Fred Harvey, who for
two generations has made the South
west famous gastronomically.

REMEDY FOR SALTY LANDS
Continued from Page 1.)

present in the surface soil although
the ground water is 7 feet or more
below the surface The explanation
is that the salts have been released
in the soil itself and transported to
the valley by teaching and irrigation
water while the rainfall is not suf
ficient to wash them down to the
ground water level. That this is
true is shown by the fact that crops
may be grown On the lands sub
ject to overflow and that a num-
Der of tracts have been reclaimed by
process of heavy flooding. The i'm
furious salts are soluable in water
water may be obtained to keep up
downward movement of the water
in the soil
This method of reclamation wild be
successful as long as the ground wa
ter table is kept at considerable
depth below the surface but should

less of the surface. the result OF
such treatment would be the exact
reverse and salts would rise in the
stagnant water column and be left,
by the evaporation OF the water, on
the very surface of the ground.
In such an event, understandings
to depth of six feet or more will
be necessary in order to provide for
continuous downward movement of
the percolating irrigation water and
to provide ready means of escape
for the salt-laden excess that would
otherwise bank up in the soil.
The installation of lmder-drainage
would expedite the teaching action
and protect that land against a rise
of the ground water but it is not
imperative in most places,

PEST IN IRRIGATED COUNTRY
Prof. Osborne of Idaho Station 0HesS
Suggestion to Completely EradI
c-+e Wild Oat.

One Of our most perniciOus pests
o. NJ. Osborne Of the Idaho station Of
fers a good suggestion when he says
that the only course to pursue to COM
pletely eradicate the wild Oat is to pro-
ceed to bring every seed in the soil
into termination as rapidly as posi-
BILE and then destroy the seedlings as
soop as they appear.
Hence, plpW the field shallow or
disk as soon as the grain crop
is removed. Ia about ten days,
if the weather has been warm and
damp, use the disk again, then har-
row every few days as the little seed
lings appear. If the autumn is dry
and the seeds do not germinate read
lily It is well to roll the soil to bring
up the water from below. Continue
che process of narrowing as long as
possible before the winter plowing,
then plOW the usual depth for winter.
Get onto the land early in the spring
as soon as the soil will permit and
low with a cultivated crop such as
beets, corn, potatoes, beans or cab
bages In case the land is too dry to
plow Immediately after removing a
grain crop turn cattle or sheep into
the field In order to eat down the seed
lings Otherwise many of the oats will
go to seed before winter sets in. Sum
mer fallowing as practiced in many
sections is an excellent method OF
holding the wild oat in check, particu-
iarly if cattle are allowed in the field
once on a while to nip off the plants
missed by the plow or harrow and to
eat off the seedlings. Early winter
rye or barley is an excellent crop to
raise il the farmer does not wish to re-
sort to cultivated crop. AS rule
this can be cut before the wild oats
ripe4.

FASHIONS POINT
TO DAINTY FR0CKS

New York.-The summer woman
does not have to look far for dainty
frocks, either for house or street.
From the simple one piece frock of
linen to the most elaborate costume
Tor evening wear, there Is infinite va
riety ana exquisite beauty. And
when IL comes to tailor-mades the
range is indescribable. There are
plenty of frocks useful and suitable
IOr Summer wear which m ghI con-
Cnue 10 give service during the au-
tumn anu even for winter house
wear, ana unless expense need not
be taken into consideration such IN
vestments as these are the wise ones
il ones summer outfit has proved in
adequate and needs replenlshlng.
Take for instance little figured
silk, on the HaDitual order. one OF
the new french models SHOWS a skirt
pleasantly trimmed with tiny ruchlngs
OF pam SILK, arranged at the sides as
If outlining hip-yoke on the skirt,
and continuing from the knees TO the
hem in outline OF the front panel. in
the centre of the shirrngs large
applique ot fancy brad IS stitched,
making an exquisite decoration for
the SKIRT. In addition to these decor
ations there are large buttons of dark
satin placed upon the front of the
skirt, down the centre of the panel.
The waistline is slightly raised and
p ped with IA line Of the dark satin.
The blouse is trimmed with fishu of
its own material, outlined with tiny
shirrings and in addition there are
detachable revers of handsome lace,
which, OF course, may be replaced
with ones of linen, nacrame, etc.
The cuffs are also detachable and
match the revers.
One Piece Erock.
The simple one piece frock of lin
en-, cotton, silk or wool, as it is
known this season. comes very near
being the ideal frock for all sea-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1912-08-10

women of fashion gather and it would
be hard to design anything Of more
fashionable appearance. 1t varies
greatly in minor details and original
ity in these details gives smart indiv-
uality to the costume. even though it
may be built upon regulation cutaway
lines.
The woman who buys frocks now
should be sure to select such models
as are sufficiently advanced to be
fairly certain Of acceptance among
fall modes and in materials suitable
for the early fall, at low prices. Few
women seem to realize the possibili-
ties of this between seasons replen-
ishing of wardrObes and most women
protest that ii is foolish to buy in
advance of season because one can
not in that way secure the latest fash
ion ideas. For a certain type of
frock this objection does hold good,
and for the bulk Of ones new sea-
son wardrobe it is well to wait not
only until after the openings, but un-
Til after the fate of the novelties
shown at these openings has been de-
cided and fashionable women have
made their choice from the things Of
fered. But for women of good taste
and shrewd judgment, the woman
who prefers to be conservatively
rather than spectacularly dressed and
who follows intelligently the moves
in the fashion game, it is perfectly
possible to plan in early August one
or two early costumes which will be
charming and correct in spite of the
revelations of the openings.
White serge Is, OF course, one of
the resources for autumn weather
and is in addition valuable for all
summer wear. The cutaway coat of
the spring and summer will come in
quite nicely for the fall. if the adjut
ment is changed being affected at Ne
side, instead of the straight front or
rounded effect with a single breasted
opening.
Handsome clothes are going to be
worn again for fall and there is talk
of the velvet costume being the rage.
