FOR MEN ONLY
I don’t suppose that there is a
man in Seward but what needs
a suit of clothes; that is, he may
not really need it right now,
but he would like to have one if
0 he could get just what he wants
and made up just the way he
likes to have his clothes made
up.
SCHOEXBRUN
That’s the name of the
House that makes the best-tail
ored clothes in America. Look
at Slim Taylor—he wears ’em—
and likes 'em, too. There are
lots of the boys in Seward, who
really care for good clothes, that
never think of ordering anything
else.
500 Samples to Choose From.
OVERCOATS, TOO.
Come in today and give them
the “once over."

Congress
Resolved by the Senate and House

ty-four of the Revised Statutes of the
United States, which require that on

$100 worth of labor shall be perform
ed or improvements made during

Churn drills and blasting crews
have started their work of making a
hole in the ground out of Sacramento
mountain, which frowns down upon the
Bisbee, Arizona, copper camp from
its eminence in the Bisbee mountains.
The wrecking of a mountain to ob
tain copper is one of the unique min
ing engineering projects of this dis
trict. Churn drills have drilled the
mountain full of holes and these are
being filled with high explosives and
exploded to loosen the rock for the
giant steam shovels to scoop up and
load into cars. Thousands of tons of
overburden will be removed before
the mineral deposit is encountered.
The copper ore will then be removed
to the crusher plant to be erected near
the mountain and crushed ore concen
trated and then smelted to render the
copper contained in the old, red moun
tain. When the project is completed,
the place where the Sacramento moun
tain now stands will be a hole in the
ground, the engineer says.

ESKIMO IS ACQUITTED
OP MURDER CHARGE
EDMONTON, Alta., Aug. 17, (By
Mail)—Sinniasiak, one of the two Es
kimos from the Bloody Falls country,
on the shores of the Arctic ocean, on
trial here for murder in connection
with the death of two priests, Father
Rouivere and Father Ueroux, was ac
quitted today of the specific charge of
murdering Father Rouviere. A con
fession by Sinniasiak at a prelimin
ary hearing immediately after arrest,
in which he said he and Uulksuk kill
ed the priests, was written into the
record. Counsel for the defense con
tended that Sinniasiak committed the
act through fear of the priests, who
were armed with rifles and who had
hired the Eskimos to draw their sled.
It was, counsel declared, justifiable
homicide.

EVERY TWENTY-NINTH PERSON
OWNS Al'TO
WASHINGTON, Sopt. 8. — With
one automobile for every eleven per
#
sons in the state, Iowa led the coun
try in 1916 in the number of motor
cars percapita, according to official
figures in the government office of
public roads. California was second
with one car for every twelve inhab
itants.
Nebraska and South Dakota had
one for every thirteen. Arkansas
stood last in the list of states, with
only one car for every 116 persons.
The national average was one for ev
ery twenty-nine. By sections the south
had relatively the fewest cars in pro
portion to population.

WANT WOMEN TO WEAR
MILITARY TROUSERS
LONDON, Sept. 8.—Mere man is
willing to wear semi-military breech
es and other “rational” clothing il
women will wear ’em, too. Then, the
man-person figures, neither sex will
be apt to do any tittering over the
shape of the other’s legs.
English tailors have devised a uni
form for civilian wear, with the hope
of simplifying clothes production. It
consists of tunic, slightly military,
breeches resembling those worn by
the cavalry, puttees or stockings and
cap.
Many people, men and women
showed alarm over the suggested re
form and were promptly accused of
hiding bow legs, knock knees and ab
sent calves. The owners of shapely
underpinnings, especially the men, are
perfectly willing to have a showdown.
One of the rules of the “rational
dress” movement is that pads don’t
KO.
