THE seamstress who is equal to
J. making simple frocks for herself
or her daughters, is able to touch up
even the simplest OF them with distinc-
tive details in their construction or
in embellishments. Dress that has
both simplicity and originality simply
c0mpels admiration from those who
know the best when they see it, and
these are the elements that gentle
women love in all apparel, from hats
TO shoes. Above all they are the ex-
cellences that the business woman
should look for. and look until she

superior energy. Without a charter,
with no governmental grant to shut

FACTOR in MONTANA Dew
ELOPMENT, DEAD
Mined for Placer Gold in California
Before Alder GuIch Was Discover
ed; Was a Pioneer Miner in Both
Alder and Last Chance Clutches;

William A. Chessman, pioneer
Montana placer miner and one of the
organizers of the old Helena Water
company, died at his home a few
days ago. He was 80 years old on
August 10.
William A. Chessman was born
August 1919, 1880, at Baintree, Mass,
the son of John Chessman and Mrs.
Lucinda Wild Chessman. He obtain
ed his education in the grade schools
in his home town. In July, 1849, he
sailed from Boston around Cape
Horn for California, landing in San
Francisco bay September 20, 1849.
Mined in California
He worked in mines on the Fea-
Their, American and Yuba rivers for
four or five years. Then he went to
Tuolome county, Calf, where he
worked till 1865. That year he came
to Montana, settling first at Alder
gulch, where he acquired a claim.
In November, 1865, Mr.. Chessman
came to Helena and took up a claim
in lower Last Chance gulch, at about
the location of the present Great
Northern station.

of which he worked with profit and
then sold at a good margin. Then
Mr.. Chessman acquired water rights
and made money in rewashing tall
ings from the gulches. Much of his
land eventually became more valu-
able for building purposes than for
mining.
Mr.. Chessman served five terms In
the territorial legislature. Also, he
was a member of the Montana consti-
tutional convention. Besides being
a pioneer of the Treasure state he
was a member of the California So
ciety of pioneers.
While mining activities in the plac-
er field here waned, he turned his at
to other enterprises and his
new activities proved n of the big
forces in the development of the re-
sources of Helena, helping to give
the city modern utilities.
In Many Enterprises
He was one of the organizers of the
old Helena Water company. So
prominent in this enterprise was he
that Chessman reservoir, the 60O,-
10000 gallon basin built by the con-
dDONO IAll1lb4S was ndIiCu lOA
him. He took a keen interest in the
company's affairs until the cor
Doration was absorbed by the city.
In the organization of a street
railway company Chessman was like
wise a leader. Helena had the first
electric street railway west of the
Mississippi river, it is said, and for
years Chesspan was vice president of
he Helena Electric Street Railway
company, which has become part Of
he present system.
Mr.. Chessman also interested him
self in quartz mining. He was presi-
lent of the Bald Butte Mining COM
)any, one of the famous gold pro-
lucers of the world. He also engag-
ID in stockraising.
In recent years he led a retired
ife. In his last years he was unusu-
lily active, showing the same inter-
in community affairs of former
lines. His Goth birthday was the
of much felicity in Helena
his year, the Masons having arrang-
ID a big banquet and program in his
honor. A few weeks after this he
i'll and did not recover.

Pumps Water for Irrigation

The reclamation of 500 acres on
the ranch of A. J.. Cummings near
Miles City, by pumping water from
the Yellowstone river, is a venture
that has proved successful beyond
expectation. This year he raised
1900 bushels of flax and his wheat
went 40 bushels to the acre. The
yield of garden stuff was exceptional,
according to Corey Wilson, a ranch
man of the locality.
Cummings pumps the water 20
feet above the river and with later
ais is able to cover 500 acres. An
other tract of 500 acres is to be wa
tered also as soon as more laterals
are installed. He has raised the
value of his land from SIS an acre
to 5000.

Reports that Medill Mccormick is

President elect Harding to make plans
for the organization of new "associ-
ntion of nations" caused deepest in
terest at the meeting of the league OF
nations assembly here today. Al
though there is no official discussion
of reports. the wish was expressed Dy
many delegates that Mccormick
might arrive here in time TO be pres

while the United States continued TO
exert great Influence over the delib-
erations and decisions of the assem-
blv. The United States was taken IN
10 consideration in making every de-
cision. During the question of steps
to aid Armenia, Arthur Balfour Brit

material and financial aid in behaN
of Armenia The question of dis-
armament passed over virtually with
out action because Japan, Britain and
France privately refused TO consider
reductions of their armies and navies
unless the United States also reduced
its armament
The decision not TO admit to mem
bership states formed from fragments
of the old Russian empire was based
ON the belief that the United States
entering the league later, might OBJ
iect to it. Powers did not want to
bind themselves to policies which the
United States might refuse to abide by
