Clothing Economy
CONOMY IN CFOTHFS buying does
not necessarily mean the cheapest kind
you can find. A knowing buyer does
not spend much time looking for the
cheapest suit he can “dig up”—but for better
values for less money than some one else can
show. For example, you can get widely ad
vertised makes, say for $17.00 or $18.00, good
stuff, to be sure, but, isn’t there something
lacking? For two or three dollars more you
can buy

Transport Sumner Leaves Galveston
for Tampico To Rescue Three
Hundred Refugees
WASHINGTON, April 15.—The Un
ited States transport Sumner leaves
this port today for Tampico to lake
away from the Mexican city 300 ref
usees who fear that in the fighting
that will soon take place about that
city that they will be in danger of
losing their lives.
All nationalities are represented
among the refugees. Foreign gov
ernments have requested the United
States to act as they are powerless
at this time to send warships to Mex
ican waters to care for their nation
als.
The administration is still urging
all Americans in Mexico to leave the
country and seek safety in the Unit
eil States because the outlook for a
form of strong government seems far
off and with the different factions
continually fighting business condi
tions cannot improve, while the lives
of the foreigners are constantly in
danger.

TO PROBE INTO
Legislature Reported To Have Started
Investigation But Failed To
Notify Commission
JUNEAU.—Numerous witnesses
have been summoned to appear be
fore the joint commission on roads
and highways, in order that the com
plaints against the Alaska road com
mission may be aired. The charge
has been made that the federal ap
propriations obtained by the commis
sion have been wasted every year on
the Valdez-Fairbanks post road.
The above article appeared in the
Seward Gateway of April 9 and
was probably a reprint from a Ju
neau paper of late in March. Inquiry
at the office of the Alaska road com
mission resulted in the information
that as far as that office was inform
ed no investigation was under way,
or at least they had not been in
formed that the legislature had start
ed one and Lieut. Kunzig, the sec
retary of the commission, felt certain
that his office would have been in
formed had the members of the leg
islature undertaken an investigation.
“The road commission would wel
come any proper investigation into
the work of the commission and its
expenditures,” said Lieut. Kunzig.
"The books of the commission are
subject to investigation by the prop
er authorities and no member of the
present board would place any ob
stacle in the way of such an investi
gation, but we would certainly expect
to be notified if the commission was
under investigation and given an op
portunity to know what charges have
been made and by whom.”
RESERVOIR BREAKS
TWELVE DROWNED
Entire City of Holbrook, Ariz., Is In
Danger—Property Loss Several
Million Dolllars.
HOLBROOK, Ariz., April 15.—The
big reservoir twelve miles south o£
here broke down the dam and flood
ed the country and twelve people are
known to have been drowned. This
city is in danger of being swept away
and the people are seeking safety on
high ground. A number of buildings
in the city have been swept away and
the water is ten feet deep in the low
section of the town and running swift.
Human efforts to stop the flood or
repair the dam are useless and the
peop'e are forced to watch in help
less terror the waters as building af
ter building crumbles down and is
swept away.
The property loss will be heavy.
Estimates based on the loss to date
place the total at several millions of
dollars.
