CR|MONT MADE BISHOP
 OF ALASKA

Information received from Rome is to the effect that at the private eonsistory, recently held, Pope Bene- dict announced the appointment of the Very Rev. Joseph Raphael Cri- mont, s. J., prefect-apostolic of Alas ka - which has just been made a vicarate-apostolic titular bishop of Ammedara. Bishop Crimont's terri tory comprises Alaska and the Aleu- tian islands.
 That the bishop-elect is eminently we'll fitted for the post, a brief sketch of his life will show.
 Born in 1859, in Picardy, France, he left home when about ten years old for the Jesuit college of Amiens. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1875. at St. Acheul, and there underwent the usual two years of spiritual train ing and two years review of literary studies. Then came three years of philosophy.
 This long stretch of study was broken by an ocean voyage, for the missionary spirit had touched the young student, and he had volunteered for the Indian missions of our new great northwest. Accordingly he came in 1886 to Woodstock, Maryland. Al ter two years of theology he was there ordained a priest by Cardinal Gib- bons.
 Seven years of missionary activity, particularly among the Crow Indians, served as a training for more ardu- ous work in Alaska, where we find him stationed from 1895 until his call to the presidency of Gonzaga college in Octoyer, 1901.
 The historian of Gonzaga relates that under the direction of Father Cri- mont the college made a marked ad- vance, in scholarship = as the classi- cal programs of those days indicate in number of students, and in off cial standing, for upon him, first of all the presidents of Gonzaga, was con. ferred the title of Rector" Even "Old Gonzaga" had just be- gun to expand, when in May, 1904, the kindly rector was ordered to Alas ka to succeed Father J. B. Rene as prefect apostolic.

Report of Federal Reserve Bank Shows All Lines of
 Business Prosper.
COTTON GROWERS TO
 PRODUCE MORE FEED
High Prices of Feedstufs and Food. stuffs Forcing Planters to Plan Smaller Cotton Acreage
 Operations Increase.

St. Louis, March 1.-Business a. tivity in this federal reserve district continues unabated, according to the report of, Wm. McMartin, chairman of the board of federal reserve agents of the Federal Reserve bank of St. Louis. Collections keep pace with sales, according to the report, which says:
 The January fur sale in St.. Louis was approximately thlee times the January, 1916, sale, while prices realized averaged approximately 10 per cent above those of a year ago.
 "The iron and allied interests re- port heavy increases in sales with sufficient contracts on hand to in- sure capacity operations for some months.
 "SiX weeks or two months ago the paper industries reported a decrease in business and at that time this was attributed to feeling that prices would be lower. No concessions were granted however. Buyers are again in the market and this has resulted in an increased activity of all paper lines in the last ten days.
 "The Missouri state board of agri- culture reports decrease in the wheat acreage in Missouri of seven and four tenths per cent, the acreage planted being smaller than for sev- eral years. Reports indicate that the condition of the crop is not entirely satisfactory due to severe weatheS and lack of moisture and snow pro lection.
 Cut Cotton Acreage.
 Reports from Little Rock and Memphis indicate exceedingly pros porous conditions in the Southern portions of the district. The stock of factors cotton in Memphis is the largest known in the history of the Memphis Cotton Exchange and the entire tendency seems to be to hold this cotton for prices approximately the high level of the. season.

cations are received from the offices of the Iron Mountain engineers at St. Louis, it will be found that the expense will be considerably smaller than is now anticipated, and that there will then be little or no opposition to the formation of the necessary street inn provement district
 Parking Reduces Cost.
 The widening of the parkway will materially reduce the cost of the pay ing of the roadways, because the road ways will be narrower The Iron Mountain will pave all it's crossings between Main street and Linden street with the same material used in the paving of the roadwavs by the prop erty owners, which is quite a consid- erable item. The Iron Mountain also will pay the cost of the curbing around the parkway, another expen- sive undertaking. The filling of the parkway space, the planting of grass, shrubs, trees and other such work will be done at the expense of the railroad, which also will maintain that work.
 The city generally is more than ordinarily interested in seeing the big improvement carried out, because of the general improvement in property values which will result, not in Fourth avenue alone, but in adjacent and cross streets also. and in the very great advertisement the city will ob- tain from the beautified parkway through which thousands of people

Owners of property in West Fourth avenue, between Main street and Lin den street, have been discussing with far more than the usual interest the plan of the Iron Mountain officials to park that thoroughfare and generally beautify it, if the property owners will arrange for the paving of the roadways on either side of the rail- road tracks, which will be in the park way.
 It is known that some of the prop erty owners have expressed them selves as not being in favor of paving the street, because of the heavy eX pense of such work, but it is believed by others who favor the. work that when the details of the proposition arc placed before the property owners, after the blueprints. plans and specifi-

Spanish Influence is Apparent in
 the Bolero.

the OOlSIOs
 Verify is there nothing new under the sun in the world of dress at least, for what we take to be novel IS apt to be an old idea put forth in new form. The braid of today is quite a different braid from that of old and the effects are different, but the idea emanates from the past, nevertheless. There are two notable features to be found on the costumes that are being made for the Summer trousseaux and for the various functions of the mid Winter. The Spanish influence is apparent in the Bolero idea and the simple chemise gown is little by little. step by step, being evolved into modification of the princesse idea. We shall not have the tight princesse gown for long time, perhaps we never shall have them again. It is to be hoped that we will not. They are apt to be trying, they are fit only for women of ideal figures and they really are not becoming even to the best formed women of today. The semi fitted models seem better adapted to the modern conditions and among the costumes to be noted are some very attractive designs made on these lines. The Bolero effects crop up in a great many different ways. Avery charming little costume that is to go South this week is made with simple full skirt and little bolero-like jacket hanging in straight lines, open at the front and again at the side seams. There are various details and features that give it smartness and crochet, but perhaps the most interesting feature is the soft girdle of Oriental silk that is ar- ranged around the figure and that falls in long ends at one side and is knotted under the arms, just where the open seam referred to falls. The suit in question is of soft blue serge and this bit of Oriental silk is exceed ingly smart. The sleeves, by the way, are finished with bell-shaped cuffs. Bell shaping makes another notable feature of the newest models and un- doubtedly we are to have bell sleeves. The bell-shaped cuffs are already estab- lished facts. In the bolero we can trace certain of the Spanish influences and the sash is distinctly Oriental, but really designers do not seem to be much concerned as to the source from which these suggestions are taken. They mainly are interested in pro- ducing attractive results, and, as attractive results are what women desire, they can well afford to be indulgent in the matter of sugges- tion. They may come from where they will so long as the result is good, so long as they suit modern needs, are pretty and becoming.
