MODES FOR TOP
COAT AND SUIT
The Late Skirts Show Trimming ut

Edged Ribbons

New York, March 6.-The proper
wrap and the proper suit for Spring
are the first questions which crop
into tn ewoman's mind with the, be-
ginning of the balmy weather. The
winter coat abs been worn until one
is tirde of it, and besides on the first
warm day ii feels so heavy and drags
about the neck, and we nee some
thing lighter to take it's place.
For general wear with the dress
comes the coat in various styles. The
model illustrated shows a new and
very practical style in coats. In the
back it is very full and falls in rip
pies while in the front it has less
fullness. A wide gauntlet cuff is us
ed on the sleeves, and the high collar
which flares up as high as the chin
lis unusually new and smart. The
model is developed in blue serge.
other fabrics which are being used
for such a coat are black and white

cloth, gabardine, and for the fancy
faille silk is used.
Speaking of faille silk reminds me
of an unusual model which was shown
in one of the shops of oyster white
faille. 1t was very full, back and
front and the entire thing wa sedged
with wide band of black velvet.
OF no less importance is the suit.
The materials used are covert, serge,
gabardine, wolfe gabardine which is
lightweight fabric of the gabar-
dine type, khaki or field cloth, gros-
grain cloth, covert cord, tweed or
homespun.
The suits this season show a re-
turn to the strictly tailored type. or
course, the military style is highly
popular. This is so named more be-

feVer, for Uhlan hat may be worn
with dress cut on strictly English
field uniform lines.
The jackets vary in length, some
are moderately long in the back and
cut short in the front fro mthe un-
derarm seam. others are cut short
all the way around. The boloro fifth
or without slevees is worn especitl
ly in the silk suits.
In tn esecond illustration is a suit
with I'm Etom jacket with O.neck
and buttons down the front With
this is worn full skirt which is
stitced several times around the low
er edge This is the type of suit that
would make an excellent travelling
suit for the woman who is going to
the Pan-American or upon any other
journey.
The separate waists, which, of
course, are in great demand with
the popularity of the suit, are shown
in large variety this year. The
plain styles trimmed only with but
tons and fastening down the front
aer considered the most correct, but
they are slowly becoming little more
elaborate with few tucks and lit
shirring. These are made of voile,
chiffon, and crepe de Chine while the
ones shown for summeh are develop
ed in handkerchief linen, voile, Swiss
and organdy. Very plain covered
buttons are used on these waists and
some of the latest have small ivory
buttons shaped like quinine capsules
down the front. Most of the waists
are made with long, close sleeves and
adjustable collars; that is, collars
which are closed high around the
neck OF may be left open as desired. |
Dresses are being finished around
the bottom of the skirts in many vari-
Gus ways. A dress of net has a deep !
hem of white taffeta figured in pink,
which was cut in deep scallops at the
top edge. A close-fitting bodice of
the silk was covered with flowing
bolero of net which was bound
around the edges with tn efigured
silk cut on the bias.
Other skirts of net or chiffon have

GUGcENHEnIs PLANNING BIG TmNes
fCordova Times


 Cordoyans were very much eated yesterday over the news published in The Daily Times that the Nor ganGuggenheim syndicate has sold Sl00oooOO worth or bonds in New City for the purpose of developing and operating its properties in Alaska also the acQui ston O! additional copper mines and the possible eN tension of the Copper River Northwestern Railway The details Of the plans not yet been made pub lie but there is to believe that the Alaska Syndicate which is the backbone of Cordova plans 10 make some extensive operations. It has been known in Eastern financial circles for some time past that the Mother Lode Copper Mines Company is apt to be taken by the Guggenheims and this is likely only one of ,he many deals contemplated.
 The extension of the Copper River Northwestern Railroad to the different producing mines in the inter for win mean considerable more tonnage for the road and as soon as the coal leasing bin is put into work able shape branch road will undoubtedly be built to the Berng River coal fields Alter that comes big shelter for Cordova where the ores from Kennecott and Kuslolana will be nuxed with the ores from the Prince William Sound. And in the meantime we will be patient and hope that the day is not far distant when the dawn of new era of prosperity will be felt through out the Copper River valley.

PLEASING OUTLOOK
lFairbanlls Cillzenl


 Commissioner Riggs, of the Alaskan Engineering Commission brought with him an air of optimism and encouragement that is being felt by all the people o Fairbanks Ar. Riggs own confidence m Alaskas lU ure and his that all will go well with tn' railroad is having pleasing effect upon all with whom he comes in contact
 According to Mr. Riggs estimate t win take about three years after this complete the railroad ana have trains running between here and the coast iha will mean three years of large expenditure or money u this vicinity and good times for almost everybody Then will come the cheap coal and lowered expenses which win make possible the mining of much low grade ground here.
 Everyone should feel pleased with the outlook, for Mr. Riggs Is in position Co know what is before us and he more than anyone else give us the assurance of good times that may be expected
 After the railroad work is actually under way, it is urobable that more or less work will be carried on throughout the year There will be certain parts oi the work that con be done n the winter time. For m stance the cutting and hauling of ties for the road can best be accomplished in the winter when the snow on the ground makes transportation possible
 Some people are of Che opinion that the railroad work cannot be carried in cold weather but it seems that much of the important work oi the Copper River railroad was done in the winter This is explained in the following article appearing in the Railway and Ma rine News.
 A recent announcement in press dispatch es from Washington stated that construction work on tine government railroads in Alaska
 would begin ia June che inference being that weather conditions prevented construction in the winter However. as matter of historiacl
 record and benefit to che builders ot the fu- ture lines in Alaska. che late M. J Honey conn peted some of his most important work during the winter months on the Copper River North western and the railroad company likewise per formed scme difficult tasks during the cold
 weather Tn the winter of l9io1l racNayng
 was completed to the Nennecou terminus and durng the same winter the famous steel bridge across the Kuskuana was constructed. The famous Glacier bridge was built largely during
 the cold period The roasov why considerable
 construction work on the grade was accom-
 plshed in winter was account of the summer
 trouble of boggy mud and tundra With
 comnlete record of construction of this rail
 road in Alaska n view of which work was prose
 cutod in winter the governmen, forces will
 undoubtedly continue their operations during
 the coming and succeeding winters
