SHEEP CAR WEIGHTS.
The Case Against Northwestern It
Dismissed.
The complaint of Oscar Thompsoi
against the Northwestern regardinj
tne minimum weight to which a sheet
car should be loaded was formally dis
missed by the railway commission. It
discussing the case Commissions
Winnett said in his order:
“By making comparison with othei
states of minima on sheep, wre find
that Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Wyo
ming, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado and
Oklahoma have the same minimum as
is used in Nebraska, while Illinois has
a much lower minimum and a highei
rate. The rate for 100 miles in Illin
ois is 14.4 cents, making the amount
received by the carriers per car $24.48,
while in Nebraska, if the shipper fails
to load to the minimum and only
loads 18,000 pounds, while he pays foi
22,000 pounds, his car costs him foi
the same distance that the Illinois
shipment was carried, $25.23, or 7E
cents per car more. Should each ship
ment in Illinois and Nebraska be
loaded to 22,000 pounds the Illinois
shipper would pay $28.80 per car,
while the Nebraska shipper would pay
$25.23, or $3.57 per car less. Applying
the above calculation to a 200-mile
shipment, the rate in Illinois is 18.S
cents and in Nebraska 14.02 cents.
For the minimum a car in Illinois
would pay $31.11 and in Nebraska
$30.82, but should the Illinois shippei
load to the Nebraska minimum the
200-mile shipment would cost him
$40.26, against $30.82 to the Nebraska
shipper. The rates In the states
named, where the minimum is the
same as Nebraska, are practically the
same or more than the Nebraska
rates, -with the exception of Iowa,
which is less.
“While to the commission it seems
an unfair proposition for a minimum
to be so high as to make full loading
impossible, we believe the increased
marketing of lambs has brought aboui
this condition and that it is not being
practicable to fix a different minimum
for lambs than for sheep, and lambs
being a more valuable commodity than
sheep, the increasing rate resulting
from the minimum so fixed is not ex
cessive.”
Plans for Science Work.
State Superintendent Bishop has se
cured the services of Miss Anna L.
Barbie, superintendent of the schools
of Christian county, Illinois; to help
him work out a more definite plan
for the domestic science work in the
rural schools of Nebraska. Miss Bar
bie was chosen by State Superinten
dent Blair of Illinois to take charge of
the Illinois state industrial exhibit at
the national corn show at Omaha. It
was here that her work attracted the
attention of Mr. Bishop. At his re
quest she consented to come to Lin

it. He believes the new law has car
ried out the pledges of the republican
party and he fs ready to defend the
law. “The law is a reduction,” said
Mr. Junkin. “The increase is on pro

Nebraska Tobacco State.
F. C. Wood, a traveling man who
has been experimenting in the grow
ing of tobacco in Nebraska, called at
the office of the governor recently and
showed him samples of the weed
which he had grown near Hastings.
Colonel Woods said there is no reason
why good tobacco, both for the pipe
and for cigars, cannot be grown in
this state. He experimented with
several different kinds and has demon
strated that Nebraska soil and cli
mate will grow as good tobacco as
can be grown in Virginia or Kentucky.
Of American Design
By JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
Nearly all the millinery worn In
this country is designed within our
own boundaries. Even the fiction of
its French origin is growing out of
favor. This does not mean that we
owe nothing to the French, but that
we could be quite independent of
them if we chose and that we have
designers in our midst who under
stand our needs and also how to de
sign beautiful millinery, and we have
come to understand this.
These very simple, very pretty and
"very American” (if one may be al
lowed the expression) designs are pic
tured here. They are selected because
they belong to that class of hats
which the home milliner may trim
for herself.
A big, rather flat felt hat in the
color called “taupe”—an elephant
gray—is shown in Fig. 1. A messaline
ribbon in the same color is plaited
about the crown and finished with a
folded band. The cluster of skeleton
plumes at the side is in a brilliant
flame red and mounted with a cabo
chon in gun metal, harmonizing with
the color of the hat.
There are various color combina
tions which can be worked out suc
cessfully in this hat and although its
trimming is so simple, it is a clever
and chic looking affair which one
may wear with perfect satisfaction.

blue figures in the second picture.
BEST MADE UP IN VELVETEEN
-’retty Dress of Smart Design Adapted
for Party Wear or for
Sunday.
Nothing is prettier for a girl’s smart
iress than velveteen. Here we have a
really smart little dress that would an
swer quite well for party wear, espe
cially if made in some dainty color.
The bodice is cut with a low square
ceck and short open over-sleeves, and
p* yt
s made up on a fitting lining to which
ilso the skirt is joined. The neck and
?uge of sleeves are outlined with fancy
silk galloon. An underslip cf crepe de
mine, with lace yoke, is worn with it;
WEAR CORDED SILK BLOUSES
Many Different Styles Are in Vogue,
Yet Those Are to Be the Ones
Given Preference.
Surely the weather vane of fashion
whirls fast there days. No sooner
had it pointed long enough to chif
fon cloth blouses to make every one
think the wind held in that direction
than it whirled about and pointed
to corded silk blouses.
Chiffon cloth is widely used in
building up a bodice which is partly
made of the gown material, and it
equals coarse fancy net in popularity.
Yet the all-over blouse, boned and
lined, worn with a smart coat suit,
is of corded silk with a high luster in
two definite colorings.
These fasten down the front, and
are trimmed with the usual cascade of
net. One of the new tricks is to insert
pieces of dotted cream net into the
color of the blouse, and edge all with
watered silk ribbon. The stocks of
these blouses are of the ecru net or
the self-colored net. The best design
ers approve of both.
Wings of palest gray, with dark
blue and iridescent markings, and
having small splotches or dots of
black, form its trimming. The pair
is mounted in the simplest manner
on the crown at the left front. A jet
ornament and a band of grey velvet
finish the mounting.
Hats of this character are bought
already covered and are to be found
in a great variety of shapes. The
tendency toward simplicity of trim
ming, so apparent for three seasons,
is not only a move in the direction of
good taste but an advantage to those
who undertake to trim their own mil
linery.
A more elaborate hat is shown in
Fig. 3. The elaboration appears, how
ever, in the making of the fancy
feather, not in placing it on the hat.
The shape may be had ready covered
in a variety of materials. It is shown
in chamois skin faced with black vel
vet.
The trimming is a handsome semi
band made of feather breasts, a sort
of bow effect, with a wing mounted
at the center. These are made by
the manufacturers ready to mount on
the hat, which requires no other
trimming.
The amateur milliner should be
careful in mounting them to not place
them too flat against the shape. Very
strong thread should be used—long,
loose stitches and the thread finally
tied inside the crown.
and a wide ribbon sash is tied round
th; waist.
Materials required: Seven yards 21
inches wide, two yards trimming,
three-quarters yard sateen for lining,
half-yard crepe de chine and three
eighths yard piece lace for underslip,
and half-yard nainsook for foundation
of slip.
TO PROTECT THE EMBROIDERY
Lavender Flowered Bags of Chiffon
Make Pretty Gifts and Have
Distinct Use.
Quite wonderful and most beautiful
are the lavender flowered bags made
as gifts and to hold the most delicate
pieces of embroidery. They are chif
fon, white with some rambling spray
in pale lavender. The bag is shirred
into a lavender-covered circular bot
tom, and at the top of its 12-inch
height it is folded to provide material
for a casing, folded over an embroid
ery hoop and sewed over it in casing
shape.
There are neither strings nor rib
bons, but after the work is put into the
opening of the bag formed by the
shirred-in hoop, the bag is twisted as
it is dropped from the hands. The
twist incloses the work as securely as
would a drawstring.
A Season of Rosettes.
It is a season of rosettes. They ap
pear on hats, on coats, and on gowns,
sometimes, it is true, in most impos
sible places. Cords and tassels are
also enjoying favor again. A very
magnificent mantle in bronze colored
panne bordered with sable has an em
broidered collar in tones of bronze
and gold, and from the center of this
falls a long cordeliere with three 01
four tassels and many loops of the
gold bronze silk cord.
New Scarfs Are Long.
Some of the newest scarfs are six
yards long. They are as filmy as a
veil and of course they must be ar
ranged to give the best results.
Crepe de chine is widely sought
after in the right colors for blouses
for morning coat suits. It is quite
permissible to choose 'a tone that has
a glow of another color in it. This
would be only possible in this sea
son of changeable fabrics.
For instance: With a coat suit ot
blue homespun fastened with black
corded silk buttons there is crepe da
chine blouse of blue which looks as
though purple ink had been spilf
over it.
The white lingerie blouse is distinct
ly on the shelf. It will come again
with the springtime, so no woman
need feel that money invested in these
is money thrown away.
Hot Egg and Milk.
Egg and milk flavored with vanilla
extract, well shaken, sprinkled over
the top with pulverized nutmeg and
piping hot is for sale at all the big
shops and drug stores.
Small salted wafers and squares of
sponge cake are served with this
drink, which is healthful and appe
tizing and is just the thing for s
cold day.
LODGE TO SUCCEED REID
Washington Again Hears Massachu
setts Senator Will Be Ambassa
dor to Great Britain.
Washington.—The rumor has been
revived in diplomatic circles that Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu
setts will succeed Whitelaw Reid as
ambassador to Great Britain.
It was said here that the post was
offered to him as long a3 a year ago
by President Roosevelt, after he had
conferred with the then President
elect Taft, who agreed in the event oi
Senator Lodge accepting the proffered
office, to retain him during the pres
ent administration.
It is an open secret in Washington
that President Roosevelt was dis
pleased with the undemocratic and
lavish display by Ambassador Reid
and would have liked nothing better
than to recall him if an acceptable
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.
successor could have been found. The
plan to make Senator Lodge ambassa
dor fell through at the time because
the senator, while not absolutely de
clining, induced Mr. Roosevelt to hold
.the appointment in abeyance.
Even now Senator Lodge may not
be willing to accept it. His senatori
al term will expire March 4, 1910,
when he will have served 12 years in
the senate. There is no doubt that
President Taft would be glad to send
the senator to London if he could be
induced to accept.
The belief is that Lodge can be re
elected to the senate if he desires. But
inasmuch as he is of the class from
which ambassadors to Great Britain
j have usually been drawn, being a lit
j erary man, scholar and historian,
there are allurements about the am
| bassadorship that are hard ior a man
of Senator Lodge’s type to resist.
There is a growing belief that with
the retirement of Ambassador Reid,
James Bryce, the British ambassador
at Washington, will also be recalled.
The British government, it is report
ed, is merely waiting to see the type
of ambassador that the United States
j will send to London before a new rep
resentative at Washington is selected.

SILHOUETTES OF
WESTERN CANADA
The man from Iowa began to talk
land before the train was well out of
the C. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The
talk began in rather wide circles. The
rush to the land, the bumper crop, the
system of summer fallowing pursued
in the semi-arid districts, were all
discussed, and then, with a sort of
apologetic smile, the Iowa man said:
“I’m a bit interested in this country
myself. Some of the men down home
got a few sections up here along this
line, and I’m going to have a look at
them. Never been up in Canada be
fore”— (it is curious how these mid
western Americans pronounce the
name of the Dominion as if it was
“Can’dy”)—“but if it looks good we
will be up to stay next fall.”
“You see, it’s like this,” said the
man from Iowa—quite manifestly con
tinuing an argument that had been go
ing on in his mind for some time.
“Back in our State land has become
dear. Anybody wanting to sell can
get $70 or $80 an acre for it, and
every farm that’s offered is snapped
up. In Saskatchewan we have just as
good land that cost us $11 and $12, so
that a man can take up five or six
times as much there as in Iowa on the
same investment of money.
“It isn’t the money, though, that
brings most of us up from Iowa. I’m
not sure that money would be enough.
The ‘invasion’ is a family affair. We
have no chance of keeping our sons
around us back home. They have
to leave the farm and go into the big
cities of the neighboring States to get
work. To keep them on the farm and
in touch with us, we come up here
and make little colonies with the chil
dren around us, on homesteads or
bought laud. This makes it easier for
the farmers back there in Iowa to get
land for the stay-at-homes. The fam
ilies that come to Canada are kept
together and the families that buy
the farms they leave are kept to
gether, too. There won't be any slack
ening of the rush, either, for they still
raise big families back in Iowa.”
One could almost see the mental
process of this typical American farm
er in defending a step that meant a i
new flag, a new allegiance, a new
land, and new associates. To aban
don Old Glory of the Declaration of
Independence for a good thing in
cheap land would hardly be playing
the game, but to go out into Sas
katchewan to “keep the family togeth
er,” was another and a quite higher
motive.
Why seek too closely to analyze the
reasons for the greatest land trek in
the history of America? It is enough
to know that the sons of the frontiers
men of Iowa, and Kansas, and Minne
sota—the best blood of the mid-west—
are pouring into the Canadian west in
an ever-increasing stream, and are
learning that “God Save the King" and
“My Country' 'Tis of Thee,” are sung
to the same tune.—Toronto (Ontario)
