Frock and Fabric
Simple Garments Regarded Best
for Present Wear.
Charm of Summer Clothes Has Worn
Off and Fall ard Winter Plans
Receive Attention.

Just now is the betwixt and between
season. The newnSss of summer fash
ions has worn of, and plans are being
carried out for fall and winter clothes.
One lives in the present these days, in
fashions as we'll as everything else,
and with the simple timely frocks,
whose lovely fresh colorings and sheer
textures are valuable aids in present
ing TO the world that "bien soiguee"
appearance that is the secret of true
chic.
There is apparently no limit to the
variety of materials. All the old ia
vorites and many new ones have made
their appearance. Soft pastel shades
and neutral tones with here and there
a bright tint for emphasis, reveal a
sense of fitness which with women is
almost an instinct. Dotted muslin,
organdie whose surface is broken by
tiny hairline stripes or checks, en-
broidered batistes and voiles, as well
rs null which is found in such wide
range of beautiful shades are featured
In any number of delightful little
frocks whose chic simplicity is ac-
centuatrd by their lack of trimming.
One type of gown is made of pale corn
color null with chemisette, cuffs and
sash of crisp white organdie. 1t would
be quite as attractive If developed In
fine French wolfe or dimity.
Every woman to her taste this year,
especially in the choice of materials,
have gone by the board. 1t isn't so
long ago that silk gown was cos
tune reserved for occasions more or
less ceremonious. There is scarcely
any time during the day or night when
silken garments cannot be worn with
the utmost propriety. This summer is
decidedly a silk summer, and nothing
could be more attractive than the
clothes designed for country wear. One
dares not think what would happen 70
some of the startling costumes IL they
were subjected to only few, for most
of the silk fabrics are made to with
stand the effects of rough wear.
The next two months are particular
ly trying. One does not feel like In
dulging In more summer clothes, and
with the exception Of hats, autumn
modes are still in the distance. There
are some wonderfully alluring wells
whose interesting and novel patterns
help to create that little air Of elusive
ness characteristic of a chic Parisienne.
Very pretty is veil that has large
mesh and a delicate tracery undoubt-
edly inspired by the crackle work of
batik prints. The border Is more def
mite. and while the veil may be worn
entirely over the face, q far more
piquant effect is given If 1t Is arranged
50 that the border comes just to the
top of the nose. Another veil as chic
and most becoming has spiral designs
made of graduated chenille dots. A
wide border formed of inch-wide
squares outlined In chenille, appears
on veil rs smart as 1t is new.

HYDRANT HAS
 BEEN REMOVED

The hydrant which graced the cor ner of Front and Cushman has been removed to across the street, above the bridge, and within a day or so will be completely housed in for the winter. This will widen the street at the corner by many feet. giving the teams and vehicles more space in which to negotiate the turn. To prevent the teams from going across the corner of the sidewalk an eight inch iron hitching post will be put in on the corner.
 The removal of the hydrant and its housing will be missed by those who made 1t a practice to use it as a lounging place during the sunny days. So accustomed was one man to perching himself on top of the hydrant that 1t is said he came along the street yesterday and through force of habit tried to get on top of what was not there. nearly fall into the hole made by it's removal.

W. SMALLW00D
 IS A SUICIDE

Writing to friends in Fairbanks from Hughes, in the Koyukuk dis trict, Thomas (Scotty) Dalton men. tions the suicide of Wm. Smallwood, formerly of Fairbanks, on the morn ing of July "A by drowning in the Koyukuk river.
 Smallwood's partner brought him in from the hills the day before he committed the deed and stated that he had been acting queerly for four or five days previously and that he was out of his head. A careful watch was kept over him during the balance of the day and he seemed to be rational enough. On the morning of the 24th he went to the river, ap- parently for the purpose of getting some water, and while unobserved walked out in the river. Before he could be stopped he had gone be- yond his depth and sank, rising only once. His body is as yet unre- covered.

BUNNELL MADE
 A RECORD TRIP

Clerk of Court J. E. Clark re- ceived a telegram from Judge c. E. Bunnell yesterday which announced his arrival at Cordova and stated that passage would be taken in the steamer Alaska for Valdez.
 It is evident that the judge suc- ceeded in catching the autos which left Fairbanks several hours ahead of the one that took him out the trail and that good time was made in reaching Chitina. Judge Bunnell will preside over the Valdez court during the absence of Judge Brown, who will take a vacation. It will be necessary for Judge Bunnell to be back in Fairbanks by October 21, as at that time matters will come before the court to be cleared up before the regular term of court commences, October 28.

 NOW ASKED FOR

Postmaster T. H. Deal has been instructed by Chief Clerk E. G. Wetzler to secure and forward to him at Tanana proposals for the carrying of the mail between Fair banks and Nenana for the winter service of 1918-19.

MUSHY GROUND
 CLOSES MINE

Owing to the peculiar formation that has been encountered in the drift of the ground operated by Gus Peterson on St. Patrick creek, it has been found necessary to close down the working of the mine until some means have been found with which to cope with the unusual con- ditions. The strata of ground met with is of mushy consistency and is continually flowing into the drift in which the men are working, to such an extent that it has been found impracticable to try and work the ground under those conditions.
 Until some means of solving the problem has been divised the force of men engaged by MT. Peterson has been laid off. Two shifts were unable to keep the slushy ground clear of the tunnel

URSA MAJOR IS
 NOW READY TO
 BE DISTRIBUTED

The seventh annual edition of the high school publication, Ursa Major is now off the press and ready for distribution to meet the public ap- proval Attractively printed on cream colored paper, with sepia brown as the main color, and neatly bound, it is a publication worthy of mention any place. Undoubtedly it is the best issue since the annual was started seven years ago. Al. though deprived of some of it's best through the absence of it's cartoonist and other features, it is strong issue. Dedicat, ed to the Fairbanks boys who are now in the service, it has the dis tinction of being the farthest north publication of it's kind.
 Embellished with the pictures of the faculty and several sketches of the industrial and home life of the Alaskan, together with it's several all handled creditably, the students have done themselves proud in this issue.

TRAFFIC TAXES
 MUST BE PAID

A message was received yesterday by George Hutchinson from the col lector of Customs at Tacoma, Wn., in which instructions were given that all those engaged in the traffic of either freight or passengers are obli- gated to pay the war tax. This ap- plies to all who take a passenger for hire to Chitina or Valdez from Fairbanks, whether they are con- ducting a stage line or not, and any evasion on the point that it is a private conveyance will lay the own CT of the vehicle liable to the pen alties imposed by law.
 In the past it has been the GUS tom of the owners of private rigs going to the coast to secure one or two passengers and charge them the full fare and make no payment of the tax to the government. This practice has been done away with by the ruling of the collector of customs. The tax is not required of those who carry passengers or freight between two intermediate points.

MUDDY STREETS
 BEING CRAVELED

Owing to the muddy condition of some of the main streets in town, a large amount of gravel is being deposited on them, in accordance with the action of the council at a meeting last month. The spots on which the gravel is being deposited are low places which accumulate the water from the rains and as a result the places become good sized mudholes.
 The gravel being deposited is talk en from a bar on the Garden Island side of the river and is of a good grade, being well mixed with sand. When the streets have dried up sui. f1ciently the work of smoothing off the bumps will be finished.

HOUSE
 ON THE LEVEL

The work of raising the court house to a level has been finished and the work of laying the sidewalks will be completed today, which will finish all of the outside work to be done on the building.
 The building had sunk in many places to such an extent that when the floor was leveled it was found that the floor of the vaults was sev- eral inches lower than the floor of the building, the doors not being able to swing out on being opened. It was necessary to cut out the floor to the level of the bottom of the vault door in the offices of the clerk of court, marshal and commissioner The next work to be done on the building will be putting on new roof, installing new lavatories and renovating the floors and walls of all the rooms in the building.

M0RENCY
 AT FORT CIBBON

In the last mail from down river a letter was received by Mrs. Al Morency from her son Lawrence in which he stated that he had joined the 14th infantry at Fort Gibbon. The information was a complete sur prise to her, as he has just turned the right age in which to join.
 In explanation of his joining he stated that it was the only course he could see that was open to him, and he is proud to wear the uniform of the United States. He speaks highly of the officers there, stating that they are good and kindly men and always have the interests of the enlisted men uppermost. He passed a perfect physical examination. Whether he will be sent to the front or not he expresses as uncertain, but is ready to go when the call comes.

.DR. SUTHERLAND RETURNS FROM
 THE KANTISHNA

The party composed of Dr. J. A. Sutherland, Rev. H. H. Lumpkin, L.. c. Hess and Wm. Campbell. who made a trip to the Kantishna coun- try lately in the launch Siwash, re- turned to town last evening.
 The trip was reported as being a wet one, raining nearly all the time, and the anticipated enjoyment of the outing was greatly lessened by the elements of the weather About the only excitement afforded on the trip was when yearling moose tried to climb aboard the launch while on the Bear Paw river to investi- gate the newcomers.
 Mining activities are about the same as usual; those who have property are going ahead in the de- velopment work looking for a good future. About thirty men will con- prise the present population of the district.
 Joe Quigley is still driving the tunnel on his quartz property on the divide between Glacier creek and the Moose and is said to have ex- ceedingly good ore. With transpor- tation facilities the mine would be good paying proposition. w. R. Taylor is developing a promising quartz property on Little Moose be- sides doing some development work on the claim on Little Eldorado, op- posite Eureka creek.
 The summer was a backward one in that section. On August there yet remained eight inches of gla- cier ice in the canyon on the Bear Paw river. The party did not see any big game outside of the moose that invaded their camp. About the only thing that could be classed as game were the few flocks of geese that were noticed on the trip going in.

MANY PRESENT
 AT EXPERIMENT
 OF BUTTOR0VICH

The funeral services for Lawrence Buttorovich were held yesterday morning at the Catholic church in the presence of many friends of the deceased, the edifice being filled.
 The esteem in which the young man was held was evidenced by the number of friends and acquaintances that were present during the ser vices. From Fairbanks creek, where he was working prior to his fatal ill- ness, many friends came to pay their last respects to one whom they esteemed highly. The Loyal Order of Moose and the Fraternal Order of Eagles were well represented by members from both lodges
 Following the services at the church the body was taken to the Fairbanks cemetery, where the last rites were accorded the departed. Those who acted as pail bearers were Isaac Anderson, William Anderson, William Gertz, Elmer Johnson, J. C.. Stewart and Dan Eagan. All the pail bearers were former associates of the deceased.

ROBBINS CHILD

From the Outside advices have been received concerning the welfare of Leonie Robbins, the little girl who was sent Outside for the pur- pose of benef1ting her health and possibly saving her life, she suffer ing with peritonitis and other compli- cations.
 Miss Robbins at the present time is on a farm near Seattle, Washing ton, and is greatly improved owing to the abundance of fresh fruit and other delicacies which she is able to procure. With the approach of winter she will be taken to Cali fornia to continue on in the treat ment she is now undergoing. It is expected that by next summer she will have in a large measure re- gained her health.
