the average garment.
There is a difference in the kind of labor put into
the clothes and it is not fully perceptible when new.
But after they have been worn a few months and
have been subjected to the stress of wear and the
elements, not until then is the true quality of work
manship apparent.
Quality Clothes not only look well and wear well but
retain their shape to the last thread.
The high character of quality workmanship will win
your confidence.
Qualiiy Tailoring assures you of correct dress for all

LAUNCH SUCCESS
REPORTED LOST
TWO DEAD BARREN ISLANDS
Deputy Marshal at Seldovia Reports
Bout Wrecked March 13—Two
Members of the Crew Are There
With f rozen Eeet und In Need Aid.
Two men are dead on the beach at
Barren Islands, and two men with
badly frozen feet at Seldovia, and the
wreck of the launch Success is the
story sent to the Marshal's office here
by deputy F. J. Cameron at Seldovia.
The telegraphic message from the
deputy is lacking in details, but from
its brief contents may be garnered a
tale of hardship and suffering that is
so often the fate of the hardy mariner
in the waters of the Northland. Tho
message says;
“Have in custody two destitute,
shipwrecked men from the launch
Success. Partners of these men
drowned March 13, and now on
beach at Barrel Islands. Two men in
custody have frozen feet and need
medical attention.”
As under present conditions the
marshal is powerless to extend aid to
these unfortunates, Marshal Brenne
man immediately wired to Governor
Strong, at Juneau; a copy of the
message received from his deputy,
and added: “No doctor at Seldovia;
should be removed to Seward or An
chorage. Have no appropriation for
care of frozen men or for burial of
dead. Advise." To this message the
marshal has not yet received a reply.
The Barrel Islands stated in the
message from Seldovia are believed
to mean Barren Islands, lying at the
entrance of Cook Inlet, about half
way between the tip of ICenai Penin
sula and Afognak Island.

PRIEST HELD ON
SERIOUS CHARGE
GIVING LIQUOR TO NATIVES
Pastor of the Russian Church at Ta
tiklik is Bound Over to Grand Jury
—Succeeds in Gaisina Bonds and
Is Freed.
'■ ..r~
Rev. Father Orloft, of the Russian
church at Tatitlik, was brought to
town yesterday by special deputy mar
shal Glenn Names, from Ellamar,
where the reverend gentleman had
been bound over by Commissioner
Ward Estey to the Grand Jury on a
charge of giving liquor to natives.
From the story told at the trial
of the case Rev. Orloft sent down to
Cordova and obtained a quantity of
liquor, which he indulged in not wise
ly, but tod well. This indulgence
appeared to sour his normally saccha
rine disposition and he quarreled vio
lently with two of his parishioners,
a male and female, and eventually
came to blows, the result of which
was that the natives were somewhat
beaten up and Father Orloff lias a
badly discolored optic.
The rpatter was taken before the
commissioner and it was disclosed
that whatever other faults the priest
may possess he. is not stingy, and had
shared his liquor with tlie natives
freely. As such a proceeding is con
trary to the statutes made and pro
vided, the commissioner f ound the
priest over to the grand jury and he
was brought to Valdez yesterday.
He succeeded in raising tiie neces
sary bonds here and is now free untii
the next sitting of the grand jury.
UHi PRIZES OFFERED
IMPORTANT AIR MEET
NEW YORK, May 19.—Approxi
mately 912,000 in cash prizes and at
least four handsome trophies will be
offered for the aviation events, to be
held in connection with the great na
val and military tournament at the
Sheepshead Bay speedway during the
week beginning May 29.
Aviators are enthusiastic over the
project, which, it is expected, will
surpass anything of the kind ever
held in this country. A program was
outlined recently at a meeting held at
the Aero Club of America.
New York City, described by mili
tary experts as the most vulnerable
spot of attack in America, is going to
give the country its first practical les
son in preparedness and it is intend
ed to have the aviation features stand
out prominently in a manner never
before attempted in the history of
flying in a nation not at war.
There will be short competitive
speed contests as well as other events
daily. Among the most interesting
features will be flights directed by
wireless apparatus on the grounds.
The contests will be open to profes
sional and amateur aviators.
Ten thousand national guardsmen
are to participate in the tournament,"
which will be formally opened by
President Wilson, who will press an
electric button at the White House,
in Washington, which automatically
will fire one of the huge guns of Ngw
York's vast system, of defense.
The native school at Tatitlik has
closed for the summer season, ac
cording to Principal C. G. Cook, of
that place. Mr. Cook states that the
natives are all out bear hunting, and
have already killed live fine ones. The
bear are reported fat and their fur
in prime condition.
