Fashion Ideas and Household Hints
WAIST LINE FOR AUTUMN.
Women Will Wear Belts and Also
Have Hips,

vVVtuVU VIII VVO&' o0IsS and ALSO
Have Hips.
The autumn woman is to have a
waist line. At last there is to be a d.
viding line between the waist and the
skirt. Moreover, belts are to be in
vogue once more. so now it will no
longer be a difficult matter to tell where
the waist ends and the skirt begins.
The autumn wOman will also have
hips. The reign of the slender figure is
at al end.
Such is the decree which has been
handed down by the members Of the
Ladies' Tailors and Dressmakers' asso-
citation. And, moreover, the idea of the
hips is entirely American, as the asso-
citation has fully decided to break away
from the apron strings Of Paris and
stand on its own two feet. New ideas
have been popping up from the various
members eve since the new fall styles
were first thought about.
The tailors are going to make every.
thing baggy over the hips-so baggy, in
fact, that unless you are very stout
you will be forced to wear a hustle.
Then the skirt is to be gathered into a
tight, wide band a little below the
knees and reaching just three inches
above the ground. A wide girdle at
the waist is the latest fad. so that the
top Of the skirt will coincide with the
bottom, and only an experienced hand
will be able to tell which is the belt
line and which Is the hem.
The coat is to be made with a waist
with a wide 1oCnce falling from the
belt to the knees.
Sleeves are to be much shorter this
year than they were last. The cuff is
to be Of Russian lace and comes half
way down between the elbow and the
wrist.

The Legacy In a Double
Combination Safety Box
By HORACE N. MYERS

him how to turn the knob. Then he
supplied Miss Miller with similar in-
formation. The joint owners Of the
box were occupied casting sly glances
at each other. and it required several
lessons to enable them to get at their
respective treasures. When the box
was finally opened each took a look at
the contents. They expressed them
selves satisfied, exchanged addresses
and departed.
In a couple of days Lucy Miller re-
ceived a note from Billy saying the
whole matter had been such a surprise
to him that he had not even thought
to notice the location Of his farm.
Would she mind meeting him again at
an appointed time? OF course she con-
sented-she was obliged to consent
and four days after the first opening
there was a second one. Then Lucy
wrote that some one had asked her II
her bonds were registered" or "cou-
pon," and she didn't know. She would
like him to help her unlock the box.
During the second week Of the Joint
ownership the box was opened four
times. On the fourth Billy told the
custodian that he needn't trouble him
self to come with them to the box
since they now understood the opening
process perfectly. The custodian smiled
and reminded Billy that he had Ger
tain unlocking to do himself. When
they left the Office Billy looked visit
fully at a leather covered sofa In the
parlor, wishing he and Lucy could cit
there awhile together, but the deposit
company was a place Of business and
nothing else. However, when Lucy
wished to cut her coupons Billy was
permitted to 60 into a little 4 by 6
compartment with her while she did
the clipping.
Billy wished to take possession Of
his farm. but had no money for live
stock or farming implements. This
suggested Lucy's bonds. He couldn't
steal them If he wanted to, which he
didn't, for both Lucy and tho custo-
dian were present when they were
open to him. Besides, what would he
do on the farm alone? He wouldn't
think Of running it without woman's
help.
One day Billy got a note from the
manager Of the deposit company that
the partnership box had been rented
for only three months and tho term
was about to expire. Billy and Lucy
could not have it for another term
for the reason that their visits to their
box were SO frequent that it took up
too much Of the custodia4;s time.
On receipt Of this letter Billy went
to the address Lucy Miller had given
him, and before he left her they were
married and went to live on Billy's
farm.
"What a slick Teller ole Bill Hender-
son was" said a n~eighbor. "How he
did play it on them two chicks he
wanted to bring together"

FRUIT LEMONADE.

The following recipe should be
sufficient to serve a dozen per-
sons: Boil together two quarts
Of cold water, four cupfuls of
sugar and four cupfuls Of chop
ped pineapple for twenty min
utes. Add to this two cupfuls Of
orange juice, one cupful Of lem
On juice and one cupful of rasp-
berry juice. Cool, strain and
dilute with ice water.
Another recipe calls for one
cupful Of sugar, II cupful Of
hot tea infusion, three-fourths of
a cupful Of orange juice, ). few
slices Of orange, one-third of a
cupful Of lemon Juice, one pint
Of ginger ale. one pint Of lithia
water and some maraschino
cherries. Pour the tea over the
sugar and as soon as the sugar
is dissolved add the fruit juices.
Strain into punch bowl over a
large piece Of ice and just be-
fore serving add ginger ale,
lithia. slices Of orange and cher
ries.

lemons is said to double the
amount of juice they will yield.

""HERE'S a letter for you in the
box. Billy" said the farmer.
"SOmepin important. / reckon"
Billy Andrews, a young farm
hand, threw down Il pitchfork with
which he had been tossing hay on to a
wagon, went to u rural delivery box on
the road and took out u letter. The
printing referred to was the firm name
and address Of Cleaver. Cutie &
Crane, attorneys at law. The letter
stated that William Henderson. Billy's
uncle, had died and before his death
had executed ar instrument giving his
nephew, who had been named for him,
a farm worth $4,000. The deed was
deposited in a safety deposit compa-
ny's vault In the city. The key to the
box was at the attorneys office, and
Billy could have it by calling for 1t the
next day at 3 p. m.
Obtaining leave to 60 to the city at
the appointed time, Billy put on his
store suit, took a train and in an hour
was In the office Of Cleaver, Cutie &
Crane. Mr.. Crane received him and
read him the document by which the
farm was conveyed. It was a very
singular paper. The box at the deposit
company was one usually rented to
business partners. 1t had a double
combination lock, one-half of the COM
bination being known to one partner
and the other half to the other, SO that
it could only be opened when both were
present. Mr.. Henderson had given
$4,000 in bonds to another person, and,
for the sake Of economy. so said the in
strument, had deposited the deed and
the bonds together in one Of these dou-
BILE combination boxes. 1t was speci-
fed that either party should 60 at the
others call to assist in opening the box.
Mr.. Crane had notified the other party
to be at the deposit company's vaults
at 4 o'clock that day.
This economical arrangement was
certainly very we'll devised. though Mr..
Henderson had not been a money
saver, and 1t seemed singular that he
should s. suddenly have shown such a
disposition. Mr.. Crane sent a clerk
with Billy to the vaults, and the young
farmer was shown into a parlor and
asked to wait a few minutes. He
spent them wondering what the "other
fellow" looked like-if he were a farm
er or a city chap. While he was con-
occurring the door opened and the GUS
todian ushered in as pretty a country
girl of eighteen or ~thereabouts as Billy
had ever seen. She was Lucy Miller,
the owner of the bonds.
Il will take you two" said the us
todian. Ito your box and show you the
process Of opening it."
Opening several doors composed of
steel bars and several more Of solid
metal, he took them into a place
where boxes We're ranged in p%rofusion.
Turning a key in the lock of their box,
the custodian opened a small. thick
door and exposed a knob. He gave
Billy a series Of numbers and showed

YUKON RAILWAY RATE
UPHELD BY CANADA

duction Would Cause De-
fault in Interest

VANCOUVER, r. c., March 49,
The Canadian Railway Commission
has filed at ottawa finding setting
aside the order issued in January,
1911, reducing freight and passenger
tolls on the White Pass & Yukon
Railway. The company submitted
evidence to show that if the reduc-
ton ordered had gone into effect the
company in 1910 would have default
ed to the extent of $127,561 in the
payment of interest on it's bonds and
there would have been nothing for
the stockholders. The judgment states
that while the people should be pro-
tected from extortionate charges, it is
of equal Importance that the capital
invested in. transportation companies
should be permitted to earn fair and
reasonable dividends
The White Pass Il Yukon Railway
runs between Skagway, Alaska, ami
White Horse, Yukon Territory. ana
controls all traffic to the Yukon Val
ley. The supreme court of the United
States is now considering an appeal
involving the jurisdiction of the In
terstate Commerce Commission over
that part of the White Pass Railway
situated in Alaska, and the indict-
ments returned at juneau, Alaska
last ninth against railway and steam
ship officials charge that the Pacific
& Arctic Railway Company, which
controls the White Pass Railway,
conspired to stifle competition in
transportation between Alaska tide
water and the upper Yukon.

NATURAL BEAUTIES
NEED PROTECTION
Mrs. A. J. Splawn Calls Attention
to Manner in Which Pine
Trees Are Being Destroyed

Mrs. Splawn, wife of Hon. A. J.
Splawn, in letter to the Herald, calls
attention to matter which will in
terest scores of people in this town
and valley and says a word in season
in behalf of some of the natural beau
ties of the country to which, as she
calls attention, too little interest has
been paid Mrs Splawn has taken
the subject up with the commission
ers of Yakima county and they have
promised assistance. The matter,
however, as Mrs. Splawn suggests, is
one which concerns the public at
large and protection of the trees of
which she speaks must be voluntary.
There are in the city citizens who
will always regret the destruction Of
stately trees because certain officials
and engineers could not figure a way
to retain them. Other forms of prog
ress are eliminating them in the coun-
ty, Mrs. Splawn says:
Editor Herald: While We are beau
tifying our city can We not do or say
something to save the beauties which
we already have along some of our
country drives? One of the most
SpOtS NiOSt lilo tlIe CITY
is the Cowychee canyon U do wish
we could spell and pronounce it as
the Indians intended. Kwi-yi-Chas,
meaning natural BRIDGE. A few years
ago there were clusters of stately
pines along this way. Most of them
have been cut down and burned for
firewood. But a few remain, and
much to our dismay while driving into
town last week we found that many
of the young pine trees close to the
road, which we had watched grow
from mere sprouts. had been cut
down, while the tops of some of the
older trees had been cut off for
Christmas teees. We saw one of them
discaded lying in a back yard, close
into town. This wanton destruction
lies at the doors of the city folk. Why
beautify your own yard and then de-
stroy that which God intended for us
all?
There must be people who hear no
music in that ripping stream, see no
grandeur in those massive piles of
rock, who are so relentless and reck-
less as to sap. like the leech, the very
vitality of life, and who never meet
nature except to exact something of
her. Does she haunt them in their
loneliness, that they must destroy her?
MRS. a. J. SPLAWN.

Interest in Potatoes

1T appears to be the concensus OF
opinion of those people in this Sec
tion who are dealing in potatoes that
the prices reported to have been paid
are not justified and also that there
IS considerable stock of unsold
spuds remaining in the Yakima coun-
try. One or two people who had
placed carload lots before they pur-
chased the goods have been compelled
TO go out and pay a substantial figure
for the goods but apart from these
instances the prices have not advanced
materially aud $26 per ton is report
ed to be the outside figure that the
market will Justify. If the reports
of the quantity held here are correct
there remains but compare lively
short market season for those who
are holding.

Reservoir Site Controversy

In the action in superior court en-
titled George Longmire ct al. versus
Yakima Highlands Irrigation and
Land company, the defendant has en-
tered a demurrer. The defendant
made an effort to condemn lands of
the plaintiffs for reservoir site and
for lands upon which to build their
ditch. The plaintiffs sought to OBJ
tain an injunction to prevent the de-
PENDANT company from taking their
lands for such purposes This de-
murrer is made upon the grounds that
the court has no jurisdiction, and
that the complaint does not state
facts sufficient to constitute a cause
of action. II. J. Snively is attorney
for the plaintiffs and lnglehart & Rigg
and Ralph B, Williamson are for the
defendant company.
