Millinery of Tomorrow

Even before September begins, and
while August proclaims the high tide
of summer, velvet and felt hats make
their entrance into the world of fash
ion. For several years past black vel
vet has shared with white satin. and
other all-white hats, a midsummer
vogue The combination of these two
fabrics makes the coolest-looking and
most sparkling millinery and comes in
its logical elegance, when women have
grown tired of all the beautiful, color
full hats with which they welcome the
spring.
But black and white are used for
street and dress hats and not for sports
and outing hats. These are in wildly
colored felts with many-colored. odd.
not to say fantastic. trimmings. Many
OF them. especially those designed for
young women and girls. content them
selves with band and bow, or rather
simple trim, OF ribbon.
Three of the handsomest new hats
for late summer and early fall are
shown in the picture above. At the
top beautiful design for the nhtron
is represented in moderately large
urban covered with tnrpe gray velvet

When Autumn Has Blown

viii they be wider than they have
been or will they be Simmer and is 1t
true that they are to be longer? These
are the questions that are asked about
the new coats and frocks for autumn,
and they wait an authoritative answer.
The new models in coats are just as
ample in width as those of the past
season, and they are longer. And,
since many costumers have already
presented designs incorporating these
features, it is evident that they are
pinning their faith to a mode not
greatly changed.
AS to coats, in some of them, bodies
are little closer fitting, but skirts are
full--very full-and longer than they
have been. But the coat cut on full
lines, with loose adjustment to the
figure. like that shown in the picture.
need not concern itself about the latest
whim Of style, because it is always
good style. This is one Of the first of
the new models. and one need not fear
that any other, however original. will
discredit it.
There are several cloths, tried and
true, for coat like that in the pic
ture. Cheviot, jersey, broadcloth.

velours and other standard weaveS are
the best choice for it. Buttons, Gov
cred with silk or satin matching the
cloth in color. and narrow but full
bands Of fur at the neck and cuffs
give it just the right kind of finish.
The narrow belt, which makes a pre-
tense of combining the wrap Mt the
waistline, really holds the fullness
of the garment in carefully disposed
plaits. 1t fastens at the front with a
big hook and eye of metal.
At the left front buttons, and loops
made of silk cord, make secure fas-
tening. Besides it's increased length
this coat introduces US to the latest
idea in capes-short at the front and
very much heightened at the back.
Thus, by displaying two new style fea-
lures, it proclaims its acceptance of
them and its place in the styles of
tomorrow.

SUBURBANITE

JUNEAU, Jan. 5.-To the Editor:-- With reference to your editorial re- garding two telephone systems for Juneau; to one who has lived in a city where two telephone systems were used, my experience was that 1t only added a burden of extra ex- pense to the general public who uso the telephones. Every business man had to put in two phones in order to reach the general public.
 'It was expected that when the op- position company installed their sys- tenn that the rates would be reduced but such was not the case. The rates remained S6 for business phone. and sS for limited call business phone and the private residence phone, was, think, S2.5O monthly.
 "The Juneau Telephone system has been far from a perfect public service system, but when we compare the rates with the Bell Telephone trust we ought to be thankful that a private individual has charge of the company and that his rates are very reasonable in comparison to said trust rates.
 "The general public of Juneau patronize the present company all t can, and the Juneau Telephone com. pany should listen respectfully to all complaints, but the city ought not to allow another telephone system to be installed"

NEW YORK. Dec. SO.-John D Rockefelle-'s fortune as represented in the holdings of the Standard on stocks. is now two-and-one-half times greater than 1t was when the com pany was dissolved. In May. 1911.
 Prior to the dissolution Mir Rocke- feller held 247.692 of the 9SS.SSS shares outstanding. The price fixed in the dissolution proceedings was S675 a share. which made Mir. Rocke- feller's holdings worth s161192.1OO.
 At current quotations for Standard oil shares. including the rights the old stock has in it's shares of sub- sidiary companies. the value of the Rockefeller stock is now $421.O56.1OO but brokers say that if anyone tired to buy only ten shares the price would amount to $2.OOO n share or more.

SEATTLE, Dec. SO-After six weeks trip through the eastern states and South. including a two weeks vis- 1t at Washington, D. C., United States Marshal L.. T. Erwin, of Fairbanks, returned yesterday, and is guest at the Frye enroute North. Judge Erwin declared that the general sentiment in Washington. so far as he could see, was in favor of an early completion of the government railroad and that pre- paredness legislation would not inter- fere with with needed legislation. "I talked with a number of Senaors and Congressman" he said land without exception all were favorable toward the railroad and assured me that there would be no trouble over appropr'a- tions. Furthermore. am very hope ful that the railroad will be built from both ends, which is decidedly favorable to Fairbanks from the fuel question alone
 But the most striking thing. to my mind, is the widespread prosperity saw Tn the East. Every sidetraclS in the country seems crowded with cars awaiting their return to the main lines. No one seems out of work, and in New York alone. where ordinarily there are thousands of men out of employment, men had to be taken from other works to shovel the snow of the sidewalks during the recent big storm.

LAST OF ALAsKA's
 SLAVES IS BLIND

WRANGELL. Dec. %. - King George" Q blind native. whose life spanned Amer,ca's history from the time of slavery was practiced by the fierce tribes of this coast until the advent of the white man. with his electric lights and automobiles. died in his cabin back of the Charlie Chin Shun store Saturday. He was so years old.
 The aged native was one Of the last living slaves of Alaska. He was cap tured and brought to there islands over sixty years old by the Klawock tribe. returning from a plundering ex- petition into Canadian territory.
 He grew from youth to man as slave and was the property of the Klawock's until the power of the Un- tied States government was able to suppress the slavery.
 Although he was given his freedom close watch was always kept over him. because he was supposed to be the grandson of an ev,l spirit and as- sociated with witchcraft.
 He escaped from his guards, and came to Wrangell. where ne asked the government authorities to protect h,m. as the Klawocks had threatened to kin him for practicing witchcraft. Here he lived. making his way by fishing until few years ago. when he became totally blind.
