Through efforts as poorly conceived
and as ill-advised as was the injection
of the statewide prohibition question

Frankfort frequently referred to as
reactiOnaries, Obstructionists and in

crushing blow at the hands Of the adj

Their first defeat came on Tuesday,
when Senator w. A. Frost, leader Of

he had believed immutabIe, arose with
a motion to defer cOnsid Iteration when
his cherished Senate Bill No. was
reached in the orders of the day.

The resolution had been offered by
Senator Huntsman on Tuesday, but in

There Is an interesting distribution
Of new names each season given to
our tried friends in the realm of ap-
parel, and to cOlors and shades of
colOrs with which we are familiar.
Which goes to show that new names
add new interest to the most neces-
sary of our belongings. An instance
is to be seen in the comfortable util-
ity coat pictured, which is now called
driving" coat. And it is good
coat for driving; as good as it is for
walking. which is very good indeed.
This model is made of Bolivia cloth

in which 1T is cut is worth studying

The yoke extends to the bust line
Gilpin observer., 1916-09-21

ut the front, and the lower part of the
coat is fulled on to 1t. The long lines
of the garment are unbroken here as
in the back. Big pockets are insert
ed, slantwise, at each side, and the
collar is of the high rolled-over kind
that adds to the appearance of length
in the figure. Cuffs are straight, wide
bands having one end finished with n
tab. The tab overlaps the other end
of the band and is stitched down and
finished with two metal buttons. Shoul-
ders are long, sleeves roomy and plain.
This is an excellent model for fur
fabrics and for all the heavy weaves
of cloth that are classed as cOatings.
Bolivia cloth is made in many beauti-
full, dark colors, and nothing superior
to it is to be found for the driving
coat.

unsupported Efficiency.

The bureau of plant industry is en-
deavoring to improve tobacco by scien-
tific study of the different brands. To
eliminate the personal equation in
smoking and to secure uniformity OF
conditions the bureau has carefully
regulated apparatus for testing the
burning quality Of cigars. The pull
on the cigar is secured by means of an
aspirator, which is filed by a contnu-
GUS inflow Of water and emptied at
regular intervals by siphon. The
pull" occurs at intervals of 80 sec
onds and lasts for n period of ten sec
onds. The apparatus smokes four
cigars Of the perfecto type In about 30
minutes.-Tobacco.

little girl. It is a good model to fol-
low when fur-fabrics are used, for
such heavy fabrics require plain de-

is slightly double-breasted and fastens

JUSTICE COMES H|GH IN TOWNS
 WESTWARD

A drunken brawl, in which an In dian killed white man, started United States District Attorney Will liam NJ. Spence from Seward on a l. 200 mile trip by boat to Unga. near the western tip of the Aleutian is lands. He went to see whether Simon Verskin. the Indian, should be brought to Valdez for trial, with the necessary witness, at large expense to the gov ernment. Verskin claims he shot in self defence.
 Administration of justice in western Alaska comes high, because of the great distance involved in transport ing witnesses and prisoners. Recent ly a government teacher was convict ed at Seward for an alleged statutory cffense at Attu island, where his school was situated Fees and travel ing expenses ran to $15,000, all told. The coast guard cutter Tahoma was wrecked while en route for additional witnesses, and several of her crew were drowned. The boat carrying the prisoner to the revenue cutter upset and the prisoners leg was broken. The total cost of the trial was said to exceed $75,O00, besides loss of life The prisoner received a jail sentence of several months.
