House will have as its first lady an
American Indian princess by descent,
who can rightfully lay claim to hav-
ing royal blood" in her veins--the

today said the family is of proud line

story OF how Pocahontas put her own
head upon the sacrificial stone when
her father, the grim Indian chieftain
Powhattan, was about to dash out
the brains of Captain John Smith, his
prisoner. the founder of the James
town colony in the early days OF the
18th century.
So impressed was the stole Indian
by this sacrifice that he gave Smith
his liberty and subsequently the

Later, when Smith left the colony,
Captain Argall treacherously seized
the charming Indian maiden and took

public service commission is today
on file reducing the minimum charge
for gas in Seattle to 25 cents month.

ToKAys AT THE LAND SHOW.

TOKAYS AT THE LAND SHOW.
Arrangements are being made fol
the exhibit Of Tokay grapes at ths
Land Products show. to be held al
Portland commencing the 25th inst
The Grants Pass Tokay is Just now
breaking into the markets OF the
country in way to attract attention,
and It is the one product that grows
to perfection here approached by
no other district in the west. In
fact, there are few localities upon
the American continent where the
Tokay can be grown at all. This
showing at Portland will be about the
first Introduction Of the local grape
into high horticultural society, and it
should be complete enough that none
can miss it and the message which it
win carry. Our apples and pears
are already known, and shipment Of
grapes has been made to Portland
for number of years past in small
way. From now, however, the vine
yards will continue to increase their
production and the Grants Pass grape
win command a market as soon as
its excellence is known. The Cali
fornia Tokays have brought a margin
in price in the past over the local
product because they were better ad-
vertised. but the growers now are
going to "show the goods"
In speaking Of the arrival Of local
Tokays in the Portland market, the
Oregon Journal says:
"Tokay grapes OF superior quality
from the Rogue river section are ar
irving quite freely in the Portland
market. While there have been ship
ments Of Tokays from the Rogue sew
tion since pioneer days, still this is
the first season that sufficient acre
age has been in bearing in southern
Oregon to make carload sales and
shipments.
Carload lots of Tokays are just
beginning to move out Of the Rogue
river country, and while the number
will be limited this season, a liberal
increase is expected next year and
further increases during the next few
years.
Flaming Tokay grapes are said tt
do better in southern Oregon thar
any other place. While the fruit II
not grown in such big punches as IL
the south, still the colors are bright
er and the fruit is far better keepint
quality"

IDEAS IN SPRING
MILLINERY SHOWN
BY MRS. PRESCOTT
Mrs. H. E. Prescott Has For
Display the Latest and
Best in Fashions

The constantly increasing demand
for something new and different has
given a wide variety Of styles this
season. Designers have turned to the
1880 or 1865 period this spring for
ideas. AS a result we have a charm
ing combination of the quaint styles
Of the past and the more daring ideas
Of the present. This is illustrated in
the empire or poke effects. One
charming model being Of Belgian blue
sewed braid with slightly soft crown
and facing Of faille silk and trim.
ming Of shaded daisies, small colored
fruits and velvet ribbon loops and
streamers.
The shepherdess style with its
graceful undulating outline is very
important this spring. These are very
effective with either fiat trimming or
the apex trimming. Both styles are
shown at Mrs. Prescott's.
The transparent brim is very ap-
propriate for summer. One hat that
has attracted much attention is a
large fiat shape with brim of pink
French crepe (both French and Georg-
cite crepe are very good, the latter
being used more for facingS and a
low crown of soft pink silk trimmed
with roses. foliage and a chic little
ornament of silk.
. The sailor, large and small is very
strong. The tricorne is good. also the
military effects. Truly one must see
the shapes themselves for they pre-
sent so much variety and individual
ity. Just now. however, the demand
is for the smaller model all depending
on the Silhouette which with other
varying tendencies changes at the
will Of the fashionable conturiere.
The new spring hat certainly has a
different angle owing to the mode Of
hair dressing which raises the hat in
the back. fitting it to one side and low

built over the Kennebec river at Au-
gusta these monsters were not run
west of Waterville on the main line
as the bridge was not considered safe,
but with the building Of the new
bridge that bugbear was removed and
the result is that the railroad company
is now running over the main line the
heaviest trains in its history. The ma

pass Augusta are hauled by these big
locomotives will, as stated above av-

number Of cars that would be hauled
in two ordinary freight trains When
it comes to moving these big trains
the locomotives don't appear to have
any trouble in starting, and when
1t comes to matter Of speed one can
get an idea Of that by watching the
night freights.

ITHACANS Will NOT

Old Eli Has No Chance of Obtaining
Cornell Coach for Next
Season.

Ithaca, n. Y. Dec. 6.-According to
those In close touch with athletic affairs
here. Cornell will not permit DR.. Al
Sharpe to go to Yale. even II the Blue
makes the request. 1t has taken fifteen
years for Cornell to work up to her pres
ent high position in athletics. and 1t is
not likely that they would allow Sharpe
to leave under any circumstances. as he
IL the man who has made the champion
ship teams possible.
The football team will elect a captain
this week at banquet to be given in
its honor by the Athletic Association. II
Cornell elects q man who will be q senior
next year. and that probably will be
done. the choice will lie between Mueller.
full back: Anderson. right guard; Tilley.
guard and tackle. and Eckley. right end.
Tflley and Anderson have played for two
years; Eckiey and Mueller were subs
last year and played varsity football for
the first time this ear. The other var.
sity men who will be available next fall
include Shiverick. Gillies and Miller all
sophomores. 1t Is not thought probable
that any OF these three will be chosen
captain.
Although Cornell suffers heavily in the
loss of Barrett Cool Shelton. Collins and
Jameson. the outlook for next year is
not bad. In addition to the men mentioned
above. Sharpe can call on Hoffman and
Benedict. two capable substitute half
backs: Bard and Dixon. substitute line
men; Brown. a substitute center. and
Ryerson and lander. two promising ends.
and also Bretz. who played q good game
at quarter on the freshman eleven this
fall. Bretz probably will succeed Bar
ret.
Talk of next years schedule is Of games
with Harvard. Penn and Michigan, the
last in Ithaca, and probably a game with
Colgate. Most OF the smaller teams on
the schedule this year will be retained.

THERE IS STILL HOPE
FOR HARRY LEGORE

New Haven. Dec. s.-Prof. r. N.
Corwin, chairman of the Yale athletic
committee has issued a statement on the
results reached by the joint eligibility
committee from Yale. Harvard and
Princeton. which concluded its session at
the Yale Club in New York Saturday
night.
After reciting the fact that a provis-
ional set of rules was adopted. which will
be submitted to the board of control in
athletics at the three institutions. Prof.
,Corwin sayB that 1t will take several
weeks before the athletic associations at
Yale, Harvard and PTincaton can pass
upon the rules and that some slight
changes In them may be necessary be-
fore final adoption.
With regard to the possible reinstate-
ment Of Harry Legore, Spence Pumpelfy.
William Easton, Robert Rhett and Arthur
Milburn, Prof. Corwin indicated that one
ruling will be adopted covering their
case. According to the general impress
sion on the Yale campus prospects for
the reinstatement Of the men are bright
Prof. Corwin said regarding their case:
I'm connection with the revision of the
rules and discussion concerning the atti-
tude to be taken by the three universities
with regard to summer baseball. the case
of the five Yale players who withdrew
from participation IN lluercoHeslate dtn-
letics this fall upon discovering that they
had violated the Yale rule covering this
matter. was considered informally. This
subject fell outside the purpose OF the
meeting and the committee did not, Of
course, feel competent to pass on the
case. There was however. a very full dis
cussion of the matter in all its bearings.
It is expected that following further dis
cussion of the new regulations as pro-
visionally accepted for the university a
duplicate ruling will be made with re-
gard to the athletic status of the five
Yale men,"
