Tailored
 Suits.

When a lady buys a ready to wear dress, she likes to feel that she is getting something that ii up to date. She is not going to take up with any kind of trash, she wants to feel that sfe has the best that she can get for her money and few ladies care to buy ready to wear garments of any kind that they think are made out in the tenement houses in the slums of New York. There is no doubt but what garments made in the tenement houses may be fairly we'll made, but who can tell of the disease germs that may be lurking beneath the folds ready to spring into life at any time. We buy all, yes, every ready to wear garment of every kind that we sell, only ofthe best makers and then of only such makers as have their own help and every garment made, and good clean, well ventilated work rooms, and that is the reason VIC can always give you good fit ting, we'll made garment. We do not tearry the cheapest line of suits made but every suit or req dy to wear garment that goes out of this store is as good as can be had for the price, go where you may, as we will refund the mon- ey at any time.

Mr.. Lodge offered the following
amendment. For the purpose Of es-
tablishiug military telegraph and cable
lines in Alaska, $3.50. $50. Provided fur
Their That DO telegraph or cable lines
oW ned wholly or IN part operated or
controlled by persons not citizens of
the United States or by any foreign
corporation shall be established in or
permitted TO enter Alaska.
He said his amendment did not bind
the government to any route but left
the subject open TO be adjusted in con-
ference. He said it was important that
the United states should control the
telegraph lines in Alaska. and it was
important, too mat cable lines enter
ing Alaska shOuid be under the control
of the American government.
The idea of his proposition was to
prevent any foreign government or cor
poratiOn from entering Alaska with
either telegraph or cable lines. A Can
adam company is now constructing a
telegraph line with the idea of Cross
ing Alaska and laying a cable from
the Alaskan coast across the Pacific
ocean to China. It ought not to be per-
mitted to land its cable on the Alaskan
coast.
Mr.. Carter said he could see no rea-
son why any plumber Of cable lines
should not be constructed across the
Pacific Mr.. Lodges amendment was
agreed 70.
