The pannier has undergone one OF the
interesting phases common to innova-
tions in fashions. When it was resur-
rected from the past and introduced by
the French dressmakers a couple OF
years ago it gained ground slowly, until
finally it was accepted on all sides. Then
prestoI The wonderful little Frehch play,
lie Minaret," appeared and the pannier
was. for the time being, thing Of the
past.
The minaret tunic took its place. And
for months the tunic, in one form Or an
other. was supreme.
Now the pannier, modified, to be sure
by the tunic, is in favor again.
And isn't this just what has happened
in the case of many other fancies OF
fashion?
Take the hip sashes. They first ap-
pesred as the exclusive possession Of the
TashionabIy dressed woman. Then they
became COMMON. The light-hearted lit
III dressmaker's errand girl wore gay
sash bound snugly about her hips and
tied in a careless knot on the left side.
The ardent tourist refreshed her trav-
cling costume with Lswide sash OF col
ored silk. And fashionable women re-
fused to wear them.
But the dressmakers kept them in the
background and WHEN the public hao
grown tired of II, introduced them
again. Now the wide sash, drawn low
over the hips, is a part of many fash
ionable frocks. To be sure, it is not the
Turkish sash as it appeared originally
1t is modified by everything that has
since been worn-by the minaret tuniC
and the pannier, the short waist and
the long waist. the waistIine drawn Ut
in front and-the one drawn up In back
But it is essentially, a hip sash, inspired
by the model that became SO popular
that il lost its charm.
Something like this has happened tc
the pannier. II is not quite the sam'
rannier that il was originally. 1t has
been modified by the tunic, and, also, by
all the sashes ana girdles and belts We
have worn. But it is pannier just th'
game.
4 most interesting gown in which thi'
new pannier appears was worn by
woman noted on both sides of the At
lantic for the clothes she wears.
The foundation of the skirt was mad'

at your neishbor's brilliant rose. which
in turn plays havoc with the bright
orange next door.
We are getting used to this condition.
and, perhaps, in this jaded age it is a
good sign that we are using bright. prim-
, , tive colors. or course We don't all use
these bright colors. but the great dress
makers of Paris are still holding out for
them. So il you don't like bright colors
you must educate yourself to tolerate
them.
There was some talk early in the sea-
son about the anticipated return OF pas
telle shades. They would come in again.
it was predicted, with Vatican pleats
and shepherdesses' costumes But the
latest indication is that pasteIle and
dull shades are taboo.
1t is many a long day since Roman
stripes have been in vogue. but they are
here again in all their unabashed bril-
| lance.
I Yes" you murmur, as you see rolls
OF the vivid stripes on the silk counters
some of them from the famous French
house Of MARITIME; "they will do very
well for piping or facing or a touch
of color in the trimming"
Not at all. The new Roman stripes are
TO be used freely and lavishly.
One Of the newest gowns shows a COM
bination of Roman-striped silk and black
taffeta-the black only bringing out more
vividly the brilliancy of the colors: There
is an underskirt of taffeta covered with
a long tunic reaching we'll below the
knees OF the Roman-striped silk-with
the stripes running up and down. There
is a narrow panel of Roman stripes run
ming crosswise down the front and a
gathered rufie of black tulle about six
inches wide around the bottom OF the
tunic. The bodice is made of black tuIe,
with a vest of white tulle. and a few
touches Of the brightly striped silk
Whether our liking for bright colors is
natural or acquired, surely there is some
thing satisfying about them. At FASH
icnable dance not long ago one OF the
guests wore a wonderful gown of bright,
vivid green, the new shade known as
serpent green The skirt was full about
the hips. narrow about the ankles. II
was bound with ermine and ermine
shoulder straps held II over the little
blouse Of lace. edged with pearls. II was
simple, but the richness of color and
fabric made 1t far more effective than
many more elaborate gown.
suspenders and shoulder straps, by the
way, are shown In many of the new
models. Taffeta skirts with straight or
crossed suspenders, combined with
blouses OF lace or net or null. are among
the most practicable of the new fashions.
We must learn many things concern
ing the separate waist this year. As soon
as Dame Fashion teaches us one lesson
she promptly bids US unlearn IT. That
Is an age-old habit of hers. And she
Is at her tricks again.

eral strength of the ten-day clause is
the fact that several clubs have given
their athletes new contracts with the
ten-day provision stricken out.
No longer is the reason for the
sudden dive of the White Sox to the
bottom of the ladder a mystery. The
home folks understand why they
have won two out of their last seven
games. The SoX came home yester-
day to show why they have not been
winning.
In the first game against cIeve-
land there was nothing on the part
of the locals that resembled an at
tack. They got two runs in one in
ming, but these were the results of
three passes, hit batsman and an
error. Not hit was thrown in. One
bingle would have sewed the game
safely;
On four other occasions the Sox
had opportunities to score. Three
times the first man up reached first
base with none out. Once the first
two men got on with none out, and
again dllu OCCOuu "C1C
with one dead. These apparently
fine opportunities were not seized.
Four hits, two by Bodie and two by
Weaver, were the sum of the Sox
batting, and even Eddie Cicotte can't
win with such attack.
The batting order has been chang
ed to get more power. Yesterday
h. H.
didn't work. Blackburne was moved
up to second place, and Chase was
dropped to fifth so he could drive in
a few runs. Hal failed to hit for
the first time since May %.

zog's flesh all season. The Cuban
has sulked, but in the pinch lacked
the nerve to jump~to the Feds. He
has gotten away with things simply
because the Johnson case was hang
ing fire.
Just what result the FoeTI decision
will have on the Feds no one seems
willing to forecast. Even the back
ers of the new circuit are not sure
what their next move will be. Presi-
dent Gilmore said his league was not
ready to give up the court battles,
and might take the case higher. And
he also intimated that more raids
might be made if the players could
be persuaded to jump: '''
So far johnson is only barred from
playing with Kansas City in Chicago.
He is in the same position as was
Larry Lajoie and several other stars
who jumped to Cleveland at the start
of the war between the National and
American Leagues. Larry and his
fellow outlaws were forced to make
a detour around Philadelphia.
But it is not likely the Red direc-
tors will rest here. They will insti-
tute suits in other states embracing
territory of the Federal League, and
try, with the Foen decision as a pre-
cedent, to secure further injunctions
against the Indian.
In one respect the FoeII decision is
more sweeping than any that has
been handed down in the baseball
struggle. The Chicago judge upheld
the ten-day clause, which gives the
club right to break off the contract
after giving the player ten days no
tice.
Other judges have held that this
clause lacked mutually, as the player
was not given the same right to ter

The new placer camp on the lower Yukon river, near Andreafski, is re- ported to be developing in a promising manner, according O the latest inlor- nation from Nome. Charles Dugan, a well known miner of Nome, but now operating near Marshall City, the head quarters of the new camp, says he took three pans from discovery dump and got r cents In working discove y all the owner have To do is to rig up sluice boxes and shovel in from the grass roots. Up to the time the letter was writteu nobody had reached bedrock on accoun, of water, but Xpected to get down as soon as the weather was cold. Dugan began sinking on Disap- pointmeut creek and struck coarse gold as soon as he cached gravel, but was drowned out before reaching bedrock. There are about l5O men in the camp, nearly all of whom are from Nome and other coast points.

This has worked against the roadhouse m,n, as the stages carry few passengers and foot messengers are rare.

At any rate, something is needed to make the roadhouse business along the trail profitable one for this year. Leader.
 The heavy rush which last fall was believed would go to the Chisana dur ing the present winter has not, as yet, materialized to any great extent and the majority of those who have gone have taken the Cordova route, the in- ducement of a fl eight rate of fifteen cents per pound from McCarthy to the diQQings as compared with twenty five cents per pound by this route having thrown most of the business by the former. Just what success is being had in landing freight in the new camp over the glacier route is not known, but it is evidently being done and the difference in price is diyerting the traffic to the trail.

This is a sample of the news being sent out from Washington: Contrary to the general impression, homegrown entrants, strawberries, raspberries, eooseberries and crauberries are plenti- full in Alaska, and, as determined by soil, climate and typographical condi- tions. farming is possible on approxi- mately 100000 sqnare miles ofterritory. The mean annual temperature of Sitka is "about the same as that of Washing ton, D. C." says the statement of the department of agriculture, made public today. "Varieties of wheat, oats, rye, barley. potatoe- and many other vege- tables have matured every season since the department started it's work at it's two experimental stations. One of these stations is about 75 miles from the Arctic circle. Chicken raising is also proving feasible"
 No name is more closely associated with the development of Alaska and the Yukon territory than that of Wil- liam Ogilvie. For ten years, from his first trip into the country in 1887, to make preliminary survey of the American Canadian boundary, until tbe discovery of gold in the Klondike in 1897, Mir. Ogilvie was veritable father to the hardy adventurers of the North. His work during this period placed upon the governments of the United States and Canada an obliga- tion that can never be repaid. For months he was the head and front of authority on the Canadian side of the border and the sole representative of the majesty of the law To his sound advice and counsel the Canadian gov erument owes it's phenomenal success iu dealing with situation which prac- tically in every other part of the world where a similar condition of affairs has arisen has resulted in anarchy, blood shed, vigilance committees and lynch law. Mir. Ogilvie has passed away, leaving behind him an honored name, respected from the Mackenzie to the mouth of the Yukon and throughout the length of the Pacific coast. The story of the ten most important years of his life, as he wrote it, has been published by his devoted wife. It should be a most interesting book to every person in the Pacific Northwest who remem- bers the occasional tales of gold finds that from time to time filtered through from the Northland until that never to be. forgotten day in the summer of 1897 when the Portland steamed into the barbor of Seattle and tale stranger than that of Jason and the Golden Fleece was related. On that day Seattle awoke. The gold was there. Her people had seen it-tons of it piled tier upon tier in strong boxes. She was nearest to the Northland and to her belonged of right the advantages CO Oe gained by the wonderful discovery. That Seattle did take advantage of her opportunities no one who sees the Seattle of today and contrasts it with the sleepy burg, halt village, half city, as it was in that day in July, 1897, can deny. Seattle has reaped her full share of the benefits of the discovery of the Klondike and to no individual man does she owe more for those bene' fits than to William 0gilvie, whose story, "Early days on the Yukon" has just been given to the public.-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
