About Girdles.

Girdles which used to encircle mi
lady's dainty waist are not to be found
in that region this season. They have
moved upward, most of them, to give
the new high-waisted effect. From
this high position they are apt to wan
der in and out of draperies, often
creeping under the full skirt to tie in
part at the front or back of the
hem. One pretty girdle had three long
loops falling directly under each other,
and in the end of each loop was
caught a full-blown pink rose. An
other girdle of sulphur yellow was so
completely hidden by the chiffon over
waist that you could only guess at its
presence on the dress.

Wheat Buyers Draw Out
for Lack of Freight Cars

Portland - The larger wheat buyers
have withdrawn from the market and
say they will do no more buying until
they can get cars, regardless OF
whether the market advances or de-
clines. Orders from Eastern mills for
wheat are coming along strong, but
are being turned down, as there is no
immediate prospect of moving the
wheat that has already been bought.
It is estimatd that not over 20 per
cent of the crop has been shipped to
date, although the farmers have dis
posed of close to 80 per cent. The
remaining 80 per cent has been sold to
Eastern millers or to foreigners, but it
is still here.
Farmers are showing a disposition
to meet the market now, but find buy
ers are not plentiful. At the Mer-
chants Exchange bids were reduced 8
to 5 cents, but there were no sales.
Oats were unchanged and feed barley
was 80 cents lower.
Considering the channels through
which the Northwestern crop is NOV
ing this year, business on the local ex-
change in the month of October might
be called quite active. The October
sales were 95, bushels of wheat,
400 tons of oats, 100 tons Of barley
and 500 tons of millfeed, of total
value of $165, 800. In October last
year the board sales were LAO, 00(
bushels of wheat and 800 tons of oats
of total value of $16S, 700.

Consulting Dictionary Reversible
Error.

The Court of Civil Appeals of Texas
does not seem inclined to recognize
Messrs. Johnson, Webster, Funk &
Wagnalls ct al, photographers, as In
any wise inspired or otherwise gifted
with infallibility. In Corpus Christi
st. & Interurban Ry. Co. V. KjellberS,
1876 Southwestern Reporter, 430, the
learned court held 1t reversible error
for Judge to send his jury a diction-
ary.
The opinion was by Fly, G. J., and
reads in part as follows: After the
definition Of the word produced had
been given as the proximate cause OF,
1t seems that the jury knew no more
what 'proximate' means than what
produced meant, so the officer In
charge was sent to the court to obtain
Webster's Dictionary, and the court
ordered the dictionary to be furnished
the Jury, and it was furnished, and
they used it in the privacy of the jury
room. What the jury obtained from
that stupendous work, filled with in
conceivable words and maxims and
aphorisms, no one knows. No book
should be consulted by jury in ar
irving at a verdict, and especially one
that defines and treats on everything
expressed by the English language

action to provide for the elimination
and protection Of grade crossings Of
railroads and public highways, the
Oregon Public Service commission an
nounced Wednesday that it would hold
hearing in Portland November %.
State, county, municipal and rail-
road officials and all interested are re-
quested to be present.
"Statistics show that accidents are

said Frank j. Miller, a member Of the
commission, "and in this state there
are approximately $500 grade cross
ings, SO per cent of which have no
protection other than the ordinary
standard highway crossing warning

Lumber Shipping Steady.

that the company will not at present

Strong Turkey Market Predicted.

Portland - A strong market for
Thanksgiving turkey is predicted by I.
G. Farrell, who says:
"We believe that there is an aver
age crop of turkeys this fall. not a
very big one, but a good average crop.
Conditions are pretty good, men are
pretty we'll employed, and prices on all
commodities are high. We, therefore,
predict that there will be very fine
price for fancy dressed turkeys, geese
and ducks for the Thanksgiving trade,
There have been few marketed al
ready for early shipment to remote
points, Alaska, Manila. etc. They
were good and sold well, 27@27ac.
We believe that fine goods on the
Thanksgiving market will bring this
much and perhaps more.
"There will be good demand also
for fine dressed geese and ducks.
Chickens on the Thanksgiving market
are generally poor sellers; they will
be wanted later.

Farming System Better.

Klamth Falls - "Since l was here
two years ago marked improvement
has been made by the farmers of Kla-
math county in general farming condi-
tions," said Professor Edward B.
Fits, extension lecturer from Oregon
Agricultural college. Professor Fits,
with Professor ]. E. Larson and Miss
Anna M. Turley, gave four farmers
short courses in klamath county, one
each at Plevna, Mount Laki, Merrill
and Bonanza.
"There is one general criticism |
would make of the methods of dairy
ing in Klamath county, however,
Professor Fits continued. "That is
as to the type of stock used. Many of
the farmers are trying to do dairy
business and still make beef out of the
steers from the dairy cows. This can
not be done profitably."

The plaintiff attacked the city ordi-

Judge Coke takes the view that mas
much as the theaters were excepted
