SPRING SUIT STYLES
Are Exceedingly Varied AS to Style,
Cut, and Trimmings.

Are Exceedingly Varied AS to Style,
Cut, and Trimmings.
Spring suit styles are exceedingly
varied as REGARDS materials, cut and
trimming features. They fall natural
ly into two groups, the cutaway and
blouse styles. The getaways were
first in the field and are favored by
the more conservative trade. In addi-
ton to these two general groups there
are novelties which include Elton and
bolero effects.
The popular trade will demand the
cutaways and simpler types of tailored
suits, though there is a growing ten
dency away from the severity which
characterizes the strictly tailored suit
showing a touch of trimming or clever
manipulation of seams.
Russian and Balkan suggestions are
embodied in the new blouse coats,
which are meeting with fair success
in the large ccnters. The latest de-
velopment of the blouse is long waist
ed effect with the belt at the upper
hip rather than the waist line, is being
taken by the houses which cater to
the high-grade and novelty trade.
Even here buyers are combining them
selves largely to misses and small
women's sizes. as the style is one ny
no means universally becoming, and
small retailers would do well to han
die it with caution.
Spring styles are of a character that
appeal to buyers strongly.
A good business is being done on
silk dresses, particularly crepe de
chimes, in which it is impossible to
supply the demand in many instances.
Silk poplin, Canton crepe, crepe
meteor and brocaded failles are
among the popular fabrics.
A numDer of costume houses are
making up some dresses with little
coats of the same or contrasting ma
terial, giving the effect OF a Jnree-
piece costume.
Co-incident with the demand for
dresses comes, as usual, call for
coats The cutaway coat, either three
quarter or seven-eighths, is the seller
OF the season, the favorite style be-
ing that fastened over low at the left
side.

coats the tendency is for drapeu eff
fects.
In automobile coats the best selling
numbers are of novelty fabrics, par
ticularly in checks and stripes, full

a few show belts, some below the
waist line.

SPOKANE WEEKLY REPORT.
Provisions.

Butter-A very pronounced condi-
ton as concerns butter has developed.
Supplies all over the country are very
meager and it appears that a butter
famine is inevitable. At San Francis
co butter is quoted at 40 cents, at
Portland Il cents prevails, and at Sc
attic the price is holding strong at 40
cents. This is an unprecedented sit
uation in Portland and in Seattle, as
at those places butter is usually very
plentiful and quotations lower than
at Spokane. According to all indica-
lions there will be no relief for at
least a month. Quotations on all
brands have advanced locally.

Mexico Makes a Kick.

Mexico City.-The Mexican govern
ment has made a formal protest to the
American government against the ship
ping of arms and ammunition from the
United States to the rebels and has re-
quested that greater vigilance be exer-
cised in guarding the frontier. Mex
lean officials understand that numer-
Gus consignments of war material, in
Guiding many machine guns, have been
sent across the border, in some cases
even at the regular ports of entry, and
now are in the hands of the rebels.

Presidents Message on Tariff.

The president has read to the cabi-

session of congress, about 1900 words
long. 1t was approved and ordered
printed.
Those who have discussed the mes

entirely with the tariff, leaving to the
discretion of congress the method of
handling the issue and calling atten-

legislation as soon as the tariff is dis
posed of.

IGNORE Powers Demands.

Belgrade, Servia.-The honor of cap
turing Shukri Pasha, the Turkish COM
mander in chief at Adrianople, with
his headquarters staff, belongs TO the
twentieth Servian regiment of in
fantry
An official statement, issued here
says that Shukrr Pasha, two other
Turkish generals, % field officers and
$50 junior officers were in Hadurluk
fort, to the northwest of the city, when
the Servian regiment stormed and
captured it. On the following day
Shukri Pasha was handed over by the
Servans to General Nikolaivanoff, the
Bulgarian commander in chief. Sew
enteen thousand Ottoman troops also
surrendered to the Servians.
The Bulgarian headquarters and
staff has been informed that Servian
cooperation with the Bulgarian troops
is no longer necessary and the with
drawal of Servian forces from the vi
cinity of Adrianople will begin today.
Turks Retake One Position.
Constantinople-It is officially re-
ported that a detachment OF the enc
my which had taken a nadvanced po-
sition to the west of Blyuk Chekmedye
has been driven back with consider
able loss and the position recaptured.

London.-The Bulgarian troops have
pierced the Tchatalja lines in the
neighborhood of Lake Derkes on the
Black sea and are pushing forward
VIGOROUSLY on Constantinople, accord
ing to a Central News dispatch from
Sofia.
The Bulgarian casualties in the last
days fight in the taking of Adrianople
are estimated at $4,000 killed and
wounded The first regiments which
advanced to the attack lost 80 per
cent of their officers and men, accord
ing to a Central News dispatch from
Sofia.
Refuse to Obey.
London.-Although the great powers
have commanded that the Balkan wal
cease the fighting continues. The al
lies, taking heart by success, receive
the ultimatum politely and they reply
that they agree with these in principle
but can not accept all the details.
The spectacle of the six great pow
ers working in harmony on the dread
ed eastern question is marked by the
equally strange spectacle of the Bal
kan states defying them. Meanwhile
the concert of the powers remains as
strong only as its weakest link, ant
since Russia can not be expected tC
use her army and navy against hel
Slav brethren to lessen their grip or
the Turk the proceedings have beer
reduced to a diplomatic debate.
The allies have accepted the pow
ers' peace terms as "a basis of negotia
TONS" but cling to their determine
ton to exact an indemnity, and refus'
to muZzle their guns until the Turk
accept their terms. Their experience
of the last armistice, they declare, wa
that Turkey used it merely to gail
time.
The Bulgarian army, therefore, con
tinues. to batter at the Tchatalja lines

stands Just where it did when tn
armistice was arranged ON Decembe

Grain, Flour and Feed.

Wheat-There have been a few
ing the past week; Red Russian is
now quoted at 7112, decline of p
cent, and Club is quoted at 31a, an
advance of p cent. Trade is very
quiet, as most buyers bought heavy
stocks prior to March l, when taxes
came on. Although very little grain
is now being offered for sale prices
are somewhat weak. 1t is not eX-
pected, however, that prices will de-
cline, as there is now but very little
wheat left in the interior. Export
business at the coast is practically at
standStill.
Flour-Very little change is noted
in the situation. Flour continues to
be weak in sympathy with the down.
ward tendency of wheat. Flour con
tinues to be shipped in from Montana
Reports from the coast state that eX.
port business is practically at a stand
still, as prices of wheat are on such
high basis that millers cannot com
pete with Australian shippers.
Feed-The only change in quota
lions was a slight advance in wheat
hay, which is now quoted at $1,000
Prices on hay, especially of the su
perior quality are very strong and
an advance may be expected. Sup
plies are limited, while the demand is
quite brisk. Oats is strong, barley is
weak and bran steady. Trade in this
line of feed is dull.

Beef liquidation has been liberal
this week, just trifle too heavy for
trade needs. Steer offerings were
mostly half fat stuff which buyers
took over at 1925 to $3.50. Top loads
realized $7.70 and COWS and heifers
sold well in small lots. but the market
is anything but strong. A good bull
trade ruled while choice veal calves
sold at 50 to $3.50, cattle market
showed weak tendency and is off a
nickel.
Despite 5000 run of hogs the mar
ket supported a 1918 price range all
week, and an active session resulted.
Trading was not confined to light
swine, as smooth and rough heavy va
reties cut considerable ngure. Con-
sidering the enormous receipts it is
remarkable prices did not slump badly
but their steadiness indicates the alb
sorbing ability of coast pork buyers.
The sheep house had a holiday this
week, for with the exception of Mon
day no business has been transacted.
All of Mondays sales were good ones,
especially fed Easter mutton and
lambs (wool on) sold higher than they
will again. One lot of wethers went
at $o.75, ewes 1915, lambs $7.4O,
which shows the class of stuff on
hand. No spring lambs came for
ward. Generally the mutton market
is steady. Public consumption of
beef, pork and mutton will return to
normal after Easter ana a true line
on livestock market can then be OBJ
tanned. Killers have received large
shipments of contracted cattle and
sheep which will tide them over the
post-Lenten period, when demand will
be urgent, and it appears from this
distance that all markets will be more
or less steady.
The following sales are representa-
tive: Steers. $7.25@7.70; heifers
$6.75; COWS, $6.35@7.OO; calves, $3.50;

TREASURER AFTER TAXES
County Treasurer McGiIlicuddy Pre-
pares to Round UP Dodgers Of
Personal Property Taxes

MONTESANO, Oct. 9.-The second
half of real estate taxes is due No
vember 30 and must be paid then If
they are not to become delinquent.
County Treasurer Jerry McGillicuddy
suggests that taxpayers should begin
their payments soon to avoid the fin
al rush of the last few days.
Mr.. McGillicuddy is at present
busy getting out list of past due
personal taxes, not only Of this year
but back as far as 1908. 1t is fair
to notify some people that there is
trouble brewing. The law requires
that all personal taxes shall be col
lected yearly. Those that are not
paid in in the time required are turn.
ed over to the sheriff for collection.
Mr.. McGillicuddy is going to collect
these back personal taxes. Those
who have been thinking they are
working a smooth game on the
county by evading the payment OF
personal taxes are apt to find them
selves in heap of trouble.

coIorino the News

In a Montesano dispatch to the Alb
erdeen World dated October 8. CIV
ing the story of the county tax levy.
we note the following squib:
"Citizens must pay not only higher
taxes, but on a greater increase in
valuation than ever before in the his
tory Of this county. The rate of taxa
ton. assuming the port levy to be Is
mills is 25,602. which means that for
every $1,000 of property owned BY
each citizen. $3.50 must be paid into
the county Golfers. The valuation
would not have mattered 80 much say
citizens who are groaning at the pros
pect,' had the promises of the assess.
or's Office to reduce taxes been kept.
1t is dull dispatch that comes
from this quarter on the subject Of
taxation which does not contain fling
at Assessor Wiley, and the foregoing
is a sample Of their utter absurdity
In the first place the county and state
levy is 26.1O2 instead Of 25.e02. and
but for the extravaganza and unwis
dom Of the legislature Of 1918. this
levy would have been the lowest in
years.
This dispatch. in common with many
people. drops into the error Of think
ing that "for every $4,000 worth OF
property. $3.50 goes for county gov
eminent" Each $1,000 of property is
assessed at 40 per cent valuation
and will pay 40 per cent of the $25 sc
or $10.24.
The statement that the assessors
ONCE had promised to reduce the tax
es is positively silly. That office has
no more to do with fixing the amount
Of taxes to be collected than has the
writer of the misinformation contain
ed in that and other dispatches. The
increase in values affected only per.
sonal property, and no"kick is heard
on that score except from one solitary
line of business. which common be-
lief credits with having evaded its just
proportion for many years gone by.

Cause Of Higher Taxes

Representative Jimmy" Davis of
Pierce county denounces Governor
Lister as the cause of the high taxes
in the state This is fine exhibitian
of nerve. High taxes are caused by
the big appropriations of the last leg

made by the combine of republicans,

it throughout the session. This com.

The Difference 10 Waste

Speaking of taxes, the writer has
been much interested in the budgets
Of city expenses presented in four
Western Washington cities where he
formerly lived and to observe the
great difference in expenditures.
says Major Patton, editor of the Ho-
quiam Washingtonian. these towns,
all Of the same class, are Bellingham.
Everett, on Puget Sound, and Hoquianl
and Aberdeen on Grays Harbor. The
two former cities-60 miles apart
are as nearly Of size as can be, each
of them claiming and probably hav-
Ing. 10000 population.
"The budget in Bellingham calls for
$16S.011. including $45,501 bond in.
terest. Everett wants $265,779, which
includes $39.164 bond interest. Thus
the per capita expense Of government
in Bellingham is but 1927 while it
costs every man, woman and child
$3.50 a year taxes to live and be gov.
erned in Everett.
Aberdeen. which may safely be
credited with 10000 enterprising PEG.
pie. presents budget of approximate.
" $175,000 and the per capita tax
runs to the enormous sum of $11. Had
the citizens committee not taken the
bull by the horns and insisted on $780,.
600 being Topped off, the budget. the
per capita city tax would have been
1885.
"Hoquiam, claiming 1900 popula.
ton and asking for s92,746. is half way
between Bellingham and Aberdeen
and just about in the Everett class, as
the per capita expense is $s.43, and
the Lord knows that is high enough.
A tax Of one and three-fourths per
cent, exclusive of street improvements,
to run city the size of Hoquiam
seems enormous to us, but possibly
our ideas are antiquated.
what we cannot understand is why
1t should cost twice as much per capita
to run Aberdeen as it costs to run
Bellingham. There is no complaint
as to the way Bellingham is conduct
ed. 1t is well lighted. polced and
severed. It's streets are kept clean
and its fire department is efficient
incidentally it may be remarked that
it costs $1,000 less to run the depart
ment in that city of 10000 than it
does in Aberdeen with 10000. Both
cities own their water systems and
: both are under the old council form
!. Of government with ample powers
vested in the mayor.
"The citizens committee of Aber.
8 deem should be continued in Office
= and. headed by w. J. Patterson. it
should fare forth to Bellingham and
other cities and find out why it is
costing so much to run Aberdeen.

two to the committee. These cities

little foresight now will count in the
years to come"
