THE TA1LoRS' STRIKE SALE"
An Explanation OF What 1t Is and
What Rrnurht II About.

An Explanation OF What 1t Is and
What Brought 1t About.
The ''tailors' strike sale" at Summer
fields big store, 924-93O Market street, has
been attracting unusual attention in COM
mercial circles as well as with the citizen
looking for bargains. The prices for a
high grade of goods have ranged so low as
to excite curiosity as to how they have
been brought about.
The fact appears to be that q great str ike
has boen In progress in New York City
among the iourneymen tailors for lon G
time. Thousands of people were involved
during the entire period. The effect was
to bring confusion and loss to the entire
circle OF trade In which it occu rred.
Goods could not be delivered within the
time limit placed upon the orders, and the
orders were therefore in hundreds of in
stances countermanded. The direct con-
sequence of this was that an immense
quantity OF seasonabIe goods accumulated
IN the hands of manufacturers, which
they were, of course, eager to dispose of
at any price in order TO get going again in
the regular course of trade, filing new
orders piling in upon them, the strike
having came to an end-the strikers. it
may be interesting to read again, having
won the day.
Well, Summerfields resident agent in
New York saw his opportunity, advised

buy almost without limit. The result is
that no less than $780, 900 worth of the

When we have finished our inspection
we will make a full report. The forest
fires of the Northwest are so widespread
and the smoke so dense that there has
been but one time when we could get an

he is the author of a number of books,
and for long time has stood among the
leading foresters of the world.
Mr.: Brewer is the professor of agricul-
ture IN Yale College. He was from 1861 to
1865 connected with the United States
geological Survey in California, and
Mount Brewer was named for him. He
ascended Mounts Shasta, Brewer, Whit
ney and other mountains, explored them
and wrote much concerning them. When
he LETT here he went direct to Yale, and
has been there ever since.
Professor Brewer said that the prime
object of the commission was to de-
wise means to preserve the forests from
tires, theft and other de predations. He
says there are about 10000, 600 acres of
timber in the West, of which 1000, ,000
acres are in California and 1900, 600 in
Oregon.
81 have been constantly surprised dur
ing this trip" said he, "to notice the
wanton destruction of the great forests
was particularly astonished to notice how
Mount Shasta has been denuded.
When / assembled that mountain origin
ally in the early sixties there were great
forests about its base and reaching far up
its sides. In recent years this timber h as
been cut and burned away. 1t is so else
where throughout the West. This ought
not 70 be.
81 also noticed the inroads among the
redwoods, those great forest giants that
ought to be preserved from wanton de-
struction. They ought to be preserved as
a heritage for future generations"
Professor Brewer has not been here for
years, and he is glad to meet his old Cali
fornia friends again.

attended to said duty and submit for your consider

All that portion of the report of the Superintendent
referring the arrivals and departures of inmates at the
poor farm and as to the num9ef OF nm
of said report referring to the invoice taken and the
amount of supplies and products on hand is we believe
correct The statement of the cost of maintaining the
poor is find and the fact that the expense
of running the farm during the last fiscal year has been
30 per less than during the preceding year
certainly reflects much credit upon the
of the poor farm ard also the manager Mr. Al M branS
and his wife. The reduced cost of maintaining the poor
farm during the past year is to be attributed to three
causes: ts.-t
l. The increased production of the poor farm.
Better management and closer buy ing upon the part
of the superintendent

attendance has been maintained at total net cost to the

We are the opinion therefore, that the present man

both the superintendent and the manager.
