The residents Of Fort Macpherson and vicinity are following up the ef- fort of Bishop Suingor and others to secure a wireless station for that point, The bishop received in the mail brought from Macpherson by the police party which got in Sunday the following resolution. which he is asked to forward to the minister of the interior:
 To the Honorable the Minister of the
 Interior, Ottawa.
 Sir:-The following resolution was considered and unanimously passed by a few of the residents of this district, others adding their sigma. lures:
 Whereas, This section of country is much isolated from all parts of the world, for long periods of time, the mail service being extremely meager and unreliable; and.
 Whereas, We have observed the Bishop I. O. Stringer, of the Yukon, and others have been making efforts to secure wireless communication be. tween Dawson and this and other points in the North;
 We, the undersigned. would respect fully state that the matter would re, ceive the support of all, and humbly pray that the department may see its way clear to carry this project out. and furnish us with means of communication with the outside.

A good specimen of silver-gray fox is being exhibited by George Secaux. a Fairbanks uapper just re turned from a sojourn at the head )s the Delta river. The pelt is a 'arge one. fullfuwed and of a pecul- .arly rusty color. and in the eStima- ton of fur-fauciers the skin would be hard to match in the fur markets.
 NIr. Secaux is willing 10 part with the pelt, but considers that he should receive Q good price, as the skins in this section of the country are extremely rare He anticipates a remuneration approxi- mating $4OO.
 Unless one is able to secure an other pelt the exact replica of this, fur dealers in the city assert, the skin would not bring more than Sl0O.

He was answered last evening, and from Mo0res' version, it is evident that two stories exist, one that pay has been discovered on five creeks, and the other that no pay has yet been uncovered.
 Tom Jackson. one Of the Little Guggs," operators on Flat creek, was one of the men to make the trip to the new diggings. and his report is that only prospects have been found so far.

suit was done In plum-color, and
into the large revers, which
4 rolled into a side fastening Of two big
buttons was a triangular inset Of
plum-color and black satin.
The simple street suit invariably has
the long sleeve, but the silk models or
the elaborate three-piece suits have
often the seven-eighths sleeve. These
latter have a tendency toward flowing
lines and draped effects.
The skirts are still quite narrow,
most Of them having either inserted
panels, used to obtain the slashed eff
fects so well In favor, or else they have
overlapping panels at front and back,
which are fastened down only as far
as the hips. The cross-over style is
well liked when the coat has the side
fastening, and with button trimming
and the slightly raised waist line these
are very neat
The wide-wale serges are largely en-
ployed for the simple street suit, al
though mohair, worsteds and spring
weight ratines are very modish. 1t Is
taffeta silk, however, that is flashing
it's changeable CLEANS from the pima
Gle Of popularity. 1t will be used
largely, not only for gowns and trim
mings, but for the suits for summer
wear.
When serge is among the fashion
able fabrics opc ~ depend upon va
rious shades of Re being to the fore
Other spring colors you may expect to
see in the Easter promenade are lovely
soft tans and light browns, stone and
taupe greys, plums, bordeaux, whites
and green's. 1t Is tan, perhaps, and
shades Of champagne that will FREEDOM
mate.
The vogue for contrasting materials
has been carried over to the spring Of
ferings. One pretty model of tan tat
feta had the large revers made of a
striped brown and tan satin. The cuffs
were of the same, and the skirt, which
was in the tunic effect, had the under
portion OF the striped material. Lace
will be used on many of the cloth
suits, in the way OF collars and cuffs,
and will be used more lavishly on the
silk models.
Separate coats retain most Of the
features of the winter styles = the
wide. one-side lap, the straight, narrow
cut, the big revers. The sleeves are
somewhat roomier, and the large arm
hole is especially to be sought by the
woman who Is given to fchu effects in
her gowns. Double faced materials
are favored, and on many of the coats
are silk or satin collars and cuffs in
contrasting color. For a little later
wear linen or pique collars and cuffs
win be seen with the long coats. Al
though the utility coats are all full
length, one may find an occasional coat
intended for dressy wear that is three
quarters or seven-eighths length. These

velvet gffdle, with an odd old gold
ornament fastening it under the arm,
a bit toward the back; another had not
only a plum-color velvet girdle, but the
panels Of lace that hung at the front
and back OF the skirt were weighted
with three large velvet buttons, on
either side. A striking idea on one
stunning model was the two-inch strip
Of black satin that extended from I'M
der the arm to the bottom Of the hem
and was laced across, for the entire
length, with white cord.
Very frilly and chick was the effect
of plated white net rufies which had

are usually in the cutaway effects ant
developed in silk or satin.
The taneta gown il without doubt
the leading feature OF the Spring sea-
son. After the cleaning satins and
cry and the alI-over embroidery COM
bine well with any OF the favored
laces. Embroidered houncing will be
in great demand, owing to the vogue
yelled naistiness of past seasons it
comes back to US with a quantity de-
mure charm that is emphasized by the
present styles in which 1t is made up.
Flat, narrow ruf1es are seen again
about the bottom OF some of these
gowns. A little afternoon frock Of
blue and green changeable tafreta was
happily trimmed as to the skirt, with
three rows or bands Of plated silk.
The bottom of these bands was I'm
ished with a cord of the silk, and the
top with a tiny outstanding frill. The
waist had a f1chu of the silk trimmed
with several rows of cordtng, which
was brought into a huge silver buckle
just above the waist line About the
bottom of the slightly raised belt was
another tiny frill that gave the effect
Of an outside finish, to tine waist that
is SO well liked just now. Models
which are really but a variation Of the
Russian blouse carry this idea to its
extreme, the extension below the belt
sometimes taking on the form of
short tunic.
Plaid silk was used for the waist
and the upper half of the skirt of a
simple little frock in green's and blues.
The plaid was cut in somewhat OF an
apron shape on the skirt, reminding
one of the Moyen Age effects. Still
another gown OF blue satin had the
upper part of the waist of blue and
white striped satin, with short, tight
tunic. which resembled more a peplum
reaching only to the hips.
A fchu of soft white t1lle, double
frilled, Hghtened up a black taffeta
gown which was trimmed to the knee
with scalloped silk rufies. Tiny silk
taffeta bows were set in a line down
the ml0QIe OF the front. ana trimmed
the sleeves. Short ripping basques
finished the fitted corsage.
The lingerie gowns are more attrac-
tive than ever this year, it seems
Many of them are solid lace and en-
broidery, and so fragile and f1lmy in
appearance that one can not possibly
associate them with the wRsh-tub.
Venise laces are used for these, to 4
great extent, and machine-made flets
are popular, while the eyelet embroid-
of lingerie gowns made with two or
three fiounces to form the skirt. These
1ounces are really appliqued one to
the other so that the close lines are
maintained SUPPLIES or fichu waists
are most often seen with skirts Of this
description.
Several new features were noted on
the imported lingerie gowns in an ex-
elusive little shop this spring. All Of
them had a touch of color, usually at
the belt. One OF them had a cerise
