THE DOUGLAS SHOE.

The best advertised and consequent
ly the best known shoe in the world
today is undoubtedly made by the w.
L. Douglas Shoe Co.. of Brockton,
Mass. The one idea OF this company
has always been to sell shoe for
$3.50 which equals in every way the %
shoes OF any other concern. They are
able to do this on account Of there be-
ing no middle mans profit. as the
goods are sold direct from the factory
to the wearer. In 60 of the principal
cities of the country they have their
own retail stores. The goods are made
in all sizes and widths. and few shoes
equal them for style and durability.
The factory at Brockton employs
over 1.10O hands, and all labor trou-
bles are settled by the state board OF
arbitration. Nothing but union labor
Is employed. and pay about the best
average wages OF any shoe workers In
the United States. The factory pay
roll amounts to $l7.435 per week. This
company makes SHOES for men only
and 1t Is their proud boast that over
one million men wear them.-Denvef

Effects of an Earthquake.

Accounts of the great earthquake in
Alaska a few months ago, which ex-
tended over an area OF 1000 miles in
diameter, shows that the disturbance
has permanently altered many pa Is
OF the Alaskan coast. Well known is
lands have been swallowed up and
others have risen to take their place.
All the glaciers In Glacier Bay, inc!ud-
ing the great Muir Glacier. so well
known TO tourists have been mutilat-
ed and disfgured. Mountains were
shaken to their bases. huge rocks were
dislodged from their sides, and forests
were leveled to the ground. Fremont
tory shocks had been felt some time
before the earthquake actually occur
red. The Muir Glacier runs into the
country for about forty miles. and has
a sea front OF something like two and
a half miles. forming wall OF ice, 200
to 300 feet high above water. and rs }
feet below water. From this wall OF
ice 1000 tons of ice used to drop into
the sea every minute. or 2OO,OO0.OOJ
cubic feet a day. The whole front 70:
a mile back has. 1t is said. been cast
into the sea by the earthquake.
