''It strikes me as slightly inconsistent
I that the Capital City of the nation
should seek to pattern after other cities

SHThis city on the contrary should
be a model in such matters. We
should lead in furthering the aims

Good! I'll be back to see that you

lightly and descended to the deck,
where he found an incipient panic.
Stewards were pounding on stateroom
doors. half clad men were rushing
about aimlessly. pallid faces peered
forth from windows, and there was the
sound Of running feet, of slamming
doors. of shrill. hystcrical voices.
ONeil saw 4 waiter humping lus-
tily upon Il door and heard him shout
hoarsely:
Everybody out. The ship is sink

dinarily SO quiet, was blazing.
There's no danger. Act like a man

The steward pulled himself together
and answered in Il calmer tone:
Very we'll. sir. I'm sorry, sir"
Murray O'Neil was known to most
OF the passengers, for his name had
gone up and down the coast, and there
were few places from San Francisco to
Nome where his word did not carry
weight. AS he ven among his fellow
travellers now. smiling, self contained,
unrutlled, his presence had it's effect.
Women ceased their shrilling, men
stopped their s%enseless questions and
listened to his directions with some
comprehension. In a short time the
passengers were marshaled upon the
upper deck where the lifeboats hung
between the davits. Each little craft
was in charge of it's allotted crew, the
electric lights continued to burn bright
ly, and the panic gradually wore itself
out. Meanwhile the ship was running
Il desperate race with the sea, striving
With every ounce of steam in her boil

CHAPTER /.

In Which the Tide Takes a Hand.
"HE ship stole through the dark
ness with EXTREMIST caution,
feeling her way past bay and
p~romontory. Around her was
none of that phosphorescent glow
which lies above the open ocean. even
on the darkest night, for the mountains
ran down to the channel on either side.
In places they %overhung, and where
they lay upturned against the dim sky
it could be seen that they were man
tied with heavy timber. Ali day long
the Nebraska had made her way
through an endless succession of straits
and sounds, now squeezing through an
inlet so narrow that the somber spruce
trees seemed to be within q short
stones throw. again blowing across
some open reach where the pulse of the
north Pacific could be felt. Out through
the openings to scaward stretched the
restless ocean. on cross %uncounted
leagues, to Saghalien and the rim Of
Russia's prison yard.
Always nea at hand was the deep
green Of the Canadian forests. denser.
darker than Il tropic jungle, for this
was the land of plenty waters The
hillsides were carpeted knee deep with
moss, wet to saturation. Out of every
gulch came a brawling stream whip
ped to milk white frenzy; snow lay
heavy upon the higher levels, while
now and then from farther inland
peered a glacier, like some dead mon
ster crushed between the granite
peaks. There were villages. too, and
fishing stations, and mines and quar-
ries. These burst suddenly upon the
view, then slipped past with dreamlike
swiftness. Other ships swung into
sight, rushed by and were swallowed
up in the labyrinthine maze astern.
Those passengers Of the Nebraska
who had never before traversed the "in-
side passage" were loud in the praises
of it's picturesqueness, while those to
whom the route was familiar seemed
to find an ever fresh fascination in it's
shifting scenes
Among the latter was Murray O'Neil.
The whole north coast from Flattery
to st. Elias was as well mapped in his
mind as the face of an old friend, vet
he was forever discovering new vistas,
surprising panoramas, amazing varia-
lions of color and topography. The
mysterious riffs and passageways that
opened and closed as if to lure the ship
astray, the trackless confusion Of islets,
the siren song of the waterfalls, the
silent hills and glaciers and snow
soaked forests-all appealed to him
strongly. for he was at heart a dreamer.
: Yet lie did not forget that scenery
such as this. lovely as it is by day,
may be dangerous ut night. for he
knew the weakness of steel bulls. On
some sides his experience and business

It Is Urged It Would Be Better for Them and the
 Fair if the Latter Should Preccdc the General
 Election

Win the fair grounds stage the caucus of both political parties?
 Will the state fair date be ad- vanced two weeks in order that it might be held before election?
 Will the fair be held before or after November :?
 After the excitement of a campaign and election would there be any in terest in the fair? Many business and professional men beliere~not
 After election everything is dead for a time. The listlessness of the public would have telling effect on the receipts they contend, as they recall the fair of 1914, and declare that the after-e election date contribut-. led to its failure.
 One big argument forwarded by those who advocate an early date is that the full state and county tickets. both republican and democratic. would be on hand to electioneer. All the office seekers would be down in the first row, they say That is not their only reason for thinking it ad- yisable to make the fair date Octo- Der 30-November 4. Bringing it up to this time would conform to the harness race circuit of California It would follow the Riverside dates. ! Dr. J. c. Norton, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who has all he confidence in the world in the ferpetual sunshine of Arizona, has d little more confidence in the weather carly in the autumn.
 r Those who favor the later date de- clare that unless the fair is held af- ter the first week in November the catt!emer will not be able to par ticipate. The cattle shipments and contracts are all dated after the first of November and accordingly they could not be in attendance nor could a cowpoy tournament be featured. l While the majority favor the ad- vance date, nothing of definite na- ture has been decided.

Costume
AND HOW TO MAKE IT

to the sleeves seems too great labor,
join with double seams. machine
~ stitched, but trim to the first seams
very close and use very small stitch.
The skirt is extremely simple. First
undertake the upper edges Of the lower
portions with straight strips of the
silk, then gather on the circles, again
midway between the lines of circles.
Draw up and arrange over the upper
portions, taking care that the gathers
meet the perforations, exactly as
directed Stitch firmly into place,
Turn the edges of the front and the
back under on the circles and lap onto
the side portions as directed. Basic
carefully to position and join the edges
under the plaits, sewing on the basting
line but leave an opening at the left
side above the notches for the placket.
To finish the placket, it will be neces-
sary to blind stitch the inturn on the
front into place and to underface the
edge of the wide portion to make it
firm and secure, then to close with snap
fastners. Gather the skirt at the
upper edge between the double crosses,
again on the lines of circles, between
the edge and the circles and between
the lines of circles. Turn the seam
allowance on the upper edge under
and arrange over the belt. Hem both
edges firmly into place. As. 4 finish
for the lowerIedge, turn the skirt under
on the basting line then turn the edge
under one-half inch and hem into place
with small stitches. The hand sewed
hem makes the only correct finish for
a skirt of this kind, the hand sewed
hem or facing There is tendency in
the new fashions for facing skirts with
a different material and sometimes
with a different color. Black often is
faced with white and sometimes if the
gown is trimmed with silk, the skirt is
faced.with the same. If this costume,
for example, were made with the sleeves
of char1neuse and Just the collar and
cuffs of white ribbed silk, it would be
pretty to face the skirt with the same
white silk. Full skirts undulate as
the wearer walks and the facings are
visible now and then and the con-
trasting material makes a very pretty
effect. The facing must of course, be
cut to fit the skirt, then scanned TO the
lower edge and hemmed into place.
The object is to make them as nearly
invisible as possible.
To make the gown will be needed,
AZ yards Of charmeuse a. inches wide,
and N yards Of all-over lace; for the
ruff1es will be needed. rs of yard 40
inches wide.
