The Indian Note.
Trimmings and cuts that sug-
gest the garments worn by A
merican Indians are a notable
feature Of fall designs. Shirt
waists that are derived from
scout" models are shown in
washable silk crepe, and other
washable silks, as well as in eX-
ira blouses Of velvet or velvet
faced woolens, that are so popu-
larly worn as coats by the young
er girls and women. Coarse, eff
fective embroideries in vivid col
ors, such as the native Indians
use, lend just the right touch Of
ornament and contrast, to many
otherwise simple costumes.
Girdles and Apron Panels.
Wide boned girdles are newer
than the twice round sash that
has been so OvervOrn, and these
often finish or top a single width
of silk or velvet, ending in a
fringe and embellished with en-
broidery if the material is plain,
or perhaps finished with the band
of fur that seems never to be
amiss in any style of new get-up.
These apron panels are worn at
the centre front usually, and are
not often more than twelve inch
es in length, though sometimes
one sees a velvet apron that sug-
gests the familiar masonic gar
ment.
Bishop Sleeves and Fichus.
Bishop sleeves of net or lace,
and fichus from which spring
wired Medici ruches or collars,
are modish and offer An excellent
means to freshen a worn waist
or to change the effect of a dress.
The old sleeve can be cut away
half way from shoulder TO elbow
and the full net set on to pouch
a little over the elbow, and be
gathered in tight at the wrist

COMMISSION
FIXES COOS VALUATION

In fixing the valuation of the Coos
Bay Water company's property yester-
day, the state railroad commissioner,
for the first time in the history of the
state, excepting in the case of railroads,
has taken this method of arriving at
what should be the service rate of a
public utility.
The commission decided that the
value Of the water plant when the in
vestigation was made, June a, was
$4,000, and it will prepare a scale of
rates to give a fair return upon that
amount.
It was announced by the commission
that the other rate cases being con.
sidered would be decided by the same
method, and it is possible that the
action yesterday will be precedent for
the determination of charges Of utilities
in the future,
Complaints that the service Of ihe
Coos Bay Water company was made
quate were filed with the commission
by the cities Of Marshfield ad North
Pend. The company filed a petition
that II be allowed to increase its rates,
and all Of the proceedings were consol'
idated.
The commission finds that the supply
and pressure Of water furnished in
Marshfield are inadequate, that the sup.
ply furnished North Bend for fire and
domestic purposes is inadequate, that
the total storage capacity is about one.
half the normal daily consumption and
the water is subject TO possible con
tamination. The reservoirs are ordered
enclosed. The commission finds that
the water is safe, and that the distolor
ations are not delterious TO the public
1 health, but are due to the fact that the
water Of Pony creek is surface water
stained by vegetation.
Additional reservoirs, pipes and
mains are ordered by the commission.

HE DIDN'T LIKE DRIPPING.

What is dripping?
Everybody knows that dripping is
supposed to be the juices, the savory
essences, that fall from roasting meats.
That is the supposltion. But what
really is dripping-the dripping that
the poor of England buy by the pound
and smear upon their bread in lieu Of
butter?
The question perhaps will never be
answered, but a partial solution is
given to 1t by the fact that a London
poorhouse recently bought at 81 ton
thirty-two tons of dripping from-a
soap works.
Alfred Noyes used to tell dripping
story.
"A little boy he would begin, "com-

A dozen years ago, fresh from the
school of Versailles. came young un.
der lieutenant of artillery in his new
uniform, returning from Normandy,
where he had been to see his brother.
On the train the young officer found
himself seated beside an old man, who,
like himself, was going to Paris.
They entered into conversation. An
Amiable intimacy was established be-
tween the two travellers. At the west
station the old gentleman, taking leave
Of the young officer. said, 81 need a
son-in-law like you"
Three months later the officer re-
turned to Normandy. He narrated
the incident Of the journey to his
brother and questioned him about the
strange companion.
81 know this old fellow" responded
the brother, do you know that he
offered you very pretty partner? His
daughter possesses an income of 100,.
600 francs"
Where is she? I'll go after her."
said the officer.
The brother made sorrowful ges-
ture. ALAS! you are little late"

The lieutenant was silent for a mo-

Dressed in his best uniform, he call
ed upon the lady. He spoke in the
most tender terms of the old gentle
man. Without doubt the prestige OF
the uniform was not without effect on
the young provincial, and the story as
in the pleasant dramas, ended with a
marriage. The lieutenant is now a
prominent member of the chamber OF
deputies.--Cri de Paris
