acter is typified by this tower
erected to his memory, for, like
it, he stood 'foursquare to all the
winds that blow" "
Thirty counties of the state
have been ordered by the court to
accept that part of the taxes as
sessed against the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific which
the roads have deemed correct,
leaving the part which the roads
deem excessive to be contested in
the courts. The suit was heard
in Thurston county, where all
cases against the state must be
filed. Prosecuting attorneys of
all the counties were there.
In Stevens county, the valua-
ton of the Great Northern was
$4,078, 200. The equalized valua-
ton was 81, 365,3 381, which the
road claimed was $156, 534 too
much. The tax assessed was
S57, 461, which the road claimed
was $22, ,9O5 too much. This
county neither assesses nor equal
ICES the railroad tax, yet must
pay to the state a certain proper
ton of the tax assessed (by the
state board) on the roads.
Hence if this county does not re-
ceive the full tax, it will be
forced to pay to the state pro-
portion of assessed tax which it
does not really get.
To save this money, also to as
sist in securing the full tax, the
prosecuting attorneys office has
been working in conjunction with
the prosecutors of other counties
and ]. A. Rockford represented
this county at Olympia when the
case came on last week. He,
with the prosecutors of King,
Spokane, Pierce and Okanogan
counties, opposed the acceptance
of only portion of the assessed
tax, and made separate appear
ance in court to preserve the
rights of the county. They were
defeated, however, and all coun-
ties are ordered to accept the
taxes rendered and issue partial
receipts, leaving the balance to
be contested in the courts.
The sum of nearly $23, 900 is
worth fighting for, and the pros
ecuting attorneys office of this
county is to be commended in its
stand for the taxpayers, as the
matter affects every school dis
trict, road district and every tax
payer in the county. Some years
ago, when J. A. Rockford was
prosecuting attorney, a similar
matter came up, and Mr.. Roch-
ford was able to save this county
nearly $4,000 in state tax through
his efforts. The present case,
which affects 80 counties, may
not be so easily handled, but this
county was lined up with King,
Pierce, Spokane and Okanogan
in it's appearance before the

One of the most peculiar cases
which ever came to the attention
of this paper has developed in
connection with the recent inn
portation of elk into this county.
The elk were received at Chewe-
lah and Colville on Saturday,
Feb. %. The next week the
Newport Miner and the States
man-Index announced that some
of the elk had strayed over into
Pend Oreille county and were be-
ing chased by dogs.
Prophetic visions Of this very
occurrence had been previously
reported from several parts OF
this county, in argument against
the Importation of the elk, and
when it was learned that some of
the elk had fulfilled the prophecy,
CONSERVATION prevailed in the
ranks of the game commission
for all of the elk have been kept
in the corrals at Chewelah and
Colville ever since their arrival
into the county. If these elk are
leading a double life, or are pro-
jecting their spiritual bodies or
auras into another county in vio-
lation of all precedent among
well-mannered elk, the commits
sion wants to know it. If the elk
are such unsportsmanlike charac-
ters as to make themselves ap-
pear in two different places at the
same time, the hunters of the
county also want to know it.
And if the Miner and Index re-
porters are going to mistake the
humble bull-pine tree for Ste
vens county elk, the Pend Oreille
game commissioners will have to
take measures over there to pro-
tect their national forest reserve.
The influence of Governor Lis
ter's administration will be
thrown behind an effort to have
the federal department of the in
terror rush work on the survey
of lands selected by the Northern
Pacific railroad, which are not
now on the tax rolls.
There are in the state at the
present time 67O,00 acres of un-
surveyed lands outside the forest
reserves. Instead of having the
survey work of the federal gov
ernment proceed, as has been the
case in the past, without any ap-
parent definite purpose, the aim
is to have the first surveys made
of those lands which have been
selected. either as lieu lands or
under Northern Pacific scrip.
To this end the state tax COM
mission has written the assessors
of the Is counties in which un-
surveyed lands lie, asking them
to forward descriptions of such
of these lands as have been Sc
lected. The tax commissions
letter to Assessor Dodson says:
Upon receipt of the descrip-
t;one ua will taka fhia question

 Wide crushed girdles, buttoning up the back or front, give the basque ef- feet to a dress, and are decidedly the rage. In silk, or in the same cloth as the dress, they are effective.

 As a last addition to the summer clothes are white silk stockings with sprays of flowers painted on the front, extending up five or six inches from the instep.

over a skirt with a snug fitting long tunic. The .pleated lower section of this skirt gives ample .fullness. To finish the smart .stand-acway collar is a narrow black moire ribbon tie, with flowing ends. The large hat in sailor effect is we'll suited to the costum. with which it is worn, and accents the trimly picturesque effect of the costume.
 The daytime dresses are often so low-cut that they seem, most inconsist- ent to those brought up to the idea that decollete gowns should not be worn until after six o'clock, any more than mans dress suit should be worn before then. But the ways of arriving at these low neck dresses are like ob- serving the letter of the law. The satin slip is cut very low, but is worn with long sleeved bodice of lace or maline, thin and transparent, which is cut high enough, however, to cover the collar bone.
 Although color is conspicuous in the sash. stockings and hat of the tennis costume, in the lining of the cape coat or in the development of the embro;d- cred afternoon dress, there is no more striking costume than the all-white gown, worn with a white hat, white shoes, white gloves and even white veil. s
 The long straight tunic has taken a prominent place with the over-wa:sts and long-waists, in taffeta, satin, lace and net. The second illustration shows a late summer dress of white taffeta and Margot lace with craquele net top This net is made of fine thread in an irregular mesh, which re minds one of the crackle on old DOT celain or Chinese pottery, and is ex- tremely good in the net top laces so extremely fashionable this season. The yoke to this dress is of the Margot lace with the sleeves of the plain craque,e net. A wide pleated flounce of Mar got edged craquele net is attached to taffeta yoke. The over-waist is of taffeta and has extended fronts which tie in the back like the sash ends of child's old-fashioned pinafore. The under skirt is also of taffeta.

GERMAN CRUISER |S
 SUNK BY TORPEOOES

PARIS, Aug. 10.-The Petit Parisien reports that the German cruiser Aus berg, which bombarded the Russian port of Libau, was sunk by Russian torpedo boats. The Ausberg was a tWenty-seven knot cruiser with a crew of nearly four hundred.
 It is officially announced that the British troops are oisembarking in France under the direction of French officers.
 It is officially announced that the.

It is an unquestioned moral victory of the Belgians. Operations of the Germans were based on the hypothesis of rapid success. Conse- quently the delay of more than so hours by the Belgian troops disarrang ca the plan of campaign. Belgian con fidence has greatly increased by the German request for an armistic and bv the fact that the French are hurrying to their relief.

women realize.

A woman usually receives but little preparation to fit her for managing 8 home. She takes it for granted that because her mother did it, and her old grandmother did it, that she, also, will
 be able to do it-when the time comesi This same lack of fOrethOught extends to a woman's wardrobe. But clothes she must have, and pretty ones and she buys regardless of whether or mo- a thing is suited to her par. ticular style or figure. Some special occasion arises which requires a gown, lacking in her wardrobe. Thereupon, she rushes from shop to shop, finally buying Gas her time is limited) some, thing which costs more than she in tended. The dress has to be altered i; this again depletes her pocket book, and as finale she realizes that the hastily bought, hastily altered gown, did fairly we'll for the affair for which she bought it, but it is too elaborate for some occasions, too perishable for economy, and last, but not least, that it does not suit her style.
 Another, insidious, deceitful and crafty enemy to the proper wardrobe, and to that feeling of well being which is associated with being smartly and suitably gowned, is the unwise use of the bargan counter.
 Its temptations are responsible for many an ill-chosen outfit Money that should be saved for some really good thing is spent on something which is cheap, but has no value in the specific wardrobe. It may be collar which is worth 90 cents and you get it for 30 cents, but you have no dress with which to wear it; it may be belt that is not appropriate or a pair of shoes the wrong color, or an array of conspicuous stockings when the
 
 Colors, fabrics, and accessories are changing, and the tempta- tion of getting something for little or nothing is a feminine characteristic much catered to by the willy store CT wishing to get rid of his stock.
 In other, and shorter words, system and thought must be applied to the wardrobe. The few absolutely nee essary clothes, suited to the occasions which your position in life calls for, are all that the well-dressed womans wardrobs should contain; then, when the styles change, you are not forced to wear out of date frocks.
 In every gathering of well-dressed women, mingling freely, unobstrusive- ly' with coy gravity, among the loose kimono styles, is the basque of 1880.
