Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The stock market was thrown into a riot of bullish enthusiasm today by the un- expected news of forthcoming federal control of the railroads.
 Standard rails rose five to eighteen points during the more active advance of the forenoon and industrials later became prominent at gross gains of 3 to 6 points under lead of United States Steel. Evidently the terms and conditions already announced in con- nection with this unprecedented ac- tion are far more reassuring to in- vestors and railway interests than was generally expected.

Doctored Matches in Cotton
 s. w. J. Bowen of Mesa who has been engaged in building a gin near Yuma. has just returned to the last named place after a visit with his family. He tells the following incident, which happened recently where he has been at work. A package was seen in some cotton just as it was being taken into the ginning machinery, and was hastily snatched away. The package was found to be a bundle of matches wrapped in paper twisted at each end so as to hold the bundle together. One of the matches was taken from the others and at distance of several inches, was struck and lighted. Im- mediately there was a flash, the flame communicating to the other matches. Those who saw the occurrence were satisfied that explosive chemicals had been purposely placed in the bundle.

Gotham Fads and Fashions

you have completely feathered your
nest.
There is a movement on foot to do
away with feather trimming altogether
on hats. This is quite right of course
in the case of fragile feathers that a
necessarily obtained by cruel means,
but 1 feel sure Ostrich feathers will
continue to curl comfortably around our
chapeaux even as they have for these
many years since the dashing cavaliers
and grenadiers wore them sweeping
over their hat brims.
Fine feathers can't be blamed alto
gether on the fine ladies you see as the
aforesaid dashing cavaliers and good
many more male birds bear witness.
Tiny clusters of Ostrich tips stuck in
their velvet and brocade bonnets were
much affected by those early earringed
habituees of the italian, Spanish and
French courts and even much married
and merry Hank the Eighth of England
didn It spurn a tip or two.
The Red men certainly set the feath-
err fashions for America and Yankee
Doodle helped along the style when he
stuck a feather in his hat.
Quills are very smart in hats these
days, thrust through at some rakish an
gle that is sure to rake out an eye OF
two of some adjacent strap hanger in
the subway If you want to be very
conserving these war times a quill lends
itself to conservation beautifully. You
can just use it for pen six days in the
week and stick it in your hat for Sun
day.
In spite of the anti-feather crusade
it would seem you really must show
some feather in your hat these days t.
have real chic and any kind will do ex
cept the white feather.

Weekly Report Of
Union Stock Yards

North Portland, Or, Nov. II. The
string of less than 1000 cattle, 1850
hogs and 1400 sheep entered market
at the weeks opening which was CON
siderably more diversified than is COM
monty the case. The cattle market was
dull and slow with volume of business
that scarcely justifies the yards from
the viewpoint Of their customary activi-
ty The best line of cattle offered are
passing the scales at about prices of
the previous week, but trades are not
extending to the usual volume for the
week s opening. The principal alteration
in prices is affecting the low grade and
medium stuff. First quality steers seem
to be getting away without any eonsid-
erable cut in prices. We quote the fol
lowing; Best steers, $9.00@9.50; good
steers, $7O0@9.00; Good cows, $4,000
700; ordinary $4.00@5.00; heifers, $3.50
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1917-11-17

@750; calves, $7OO@950; bulls, $3.50
M6.75; stks and fdrs, $4.00@725.
The week opening in the hog de-
partment is very bright and looking
upward. The bulk of sales has crossed
the scales today at an advance of about
15c over the market of the previous
week in the secondary division of the
hog alley, and at an advance of about
10c in the prime division from the sales
which bore a $16.35 top and which car
ried no real prime hogs. We quote the
following range of prices: Prime lights,
.20@l6.4O; prime heavys, $4,000
1920; pigs, $14.O0@1475.
There seems to be some evidence in
the sheep department of a temporary
stagnation. The demand is temporarily
restricted by the elimination of some
of the heavy buyers and the supply con
tinues to increase, so that this depart
ment is rapidly approaching the high
water mark. There is no evidence, how
ever, of anything permanent in the ex-
isting condition, and after the readjust-
ment which is in process, general ex-
pectations are for a steady market at
current prices, as quoted herewith
Yearlings, $12.50@13.00; wethers, $l2.
O0@13.00; ewes, $8.50@1050; western
lambs, $1400@14.50; valley lambs
$13.50@14O0. These quotations are sub
iect to cut of about 2 1-2 to Be fol
shorn animals. The breeding eve depart
ment continues active and is carrying an
increasingly large volume with quota
tions at $l2.0001S.00 per head.

New York, Nov. 17.-According to
Ellis Parker Butler "Pigs is Pigs" to
Wordsworth IS "Peter Bell" yellow
primrose was a yellow primrose and
nothing more, but it would take weight

poet to convince even the ostrich itself
that an ostrich feather is an ostrich
feather these days.
Some years ago to take several lazy
ers of ostrich tail feathers, fasten them
together in one bushy plume after dye
ing them and curling the ends, was the
acme of ostrich feather art.
Then along came the willow plume.
This was knotty but nice with the ex.
ira fronds knotted on to the original
fronds that sprouted from the central
SPINE. Who hasn't proudly floated a
ten inch willow plume in the breeze and
complacently felt the height of sartorial
perfection7 There has been willow
plume in every woman's life as surely
as there has been a yearning to be an
actress and trained nurse.
The willow plume has long since
dropped out of the picture, and off the
picture hat. Now, however, you ear
drag them forth from their dusty lair'
in the attic or closet shelves and have
the fronds sewed on strip of silk tapt
