Sky Farm.

Lovers of the woods in October can
have their hearts gladdened and their
eyes regaled by the beautiful scene in
the third act of "ssky Farm" which was
the reigning success at the Garrick
Theatre. New York. and the Boston
Museum for an aggregate of over six
months last year, and is now coming
to the Opera House on the 10th instant.
The scene is described as one wherein
the bright reds, golden yellows and
marvellous browns of the NAPLES.

dominate. and the spectator seems to
breath the very balsamic air of the
mountain and woodlands as he or she
looks upon the enhancing picture.

The coal problem so far as Augusta
is concerned will not be solved much
before Dec. l. according to the predic-
ton of local dealer, who has just re-
turned from Boston. he says that it
will be three or four weeks before coal
can be secured to supply the market
here. 'The price," said he, will be
about 50 ton. 1t will have to come
here by railroad freight, for, though
there is possibility of getting a cargo
by vessel before the river closes. it is
not probable that such can be DONE
Therefore the railroad freights being
much higher than vessel charges Will
necessitate our asking at least 50 ton
for coal"

Facts About the w. l..
Douglas Shoe Business.

An addition to the factory is now
being built, which will increase the
output from 1890 pairs to 10, 600 pairs
daily, and increase the volume of
business to 81, 900, 900 for the year 1903.
The manufacturing plant is right
up to date, equipped with every
modern device. About one-half Of
the present factory has been built
and equipped with machinery the
past four years. A new power plant,
sufficiently large to meet all demands
that may be made upon it for several
years, was installed two years ago.
The manufacturing plant, machinery,
and all the GA retail stores throughout
the country are free from incum br; nee
of any sort, and the company has
sufficient cash on hand to conduct q
business of S7,O00,000 annually with
out borrowing money.
Practically all the stock of the
w. L. Douglas Shoe Co. is owned by
me. l am the president of the cor
poration. The business has always
paid a good profit, and is now paying
better than ever.
l believe that the best way to per-
petuate the business is to let the
people own it and control it. have,
therefore, capitalized the business for
two million dollars, one million dol
lars of which is preferred stock and
one million dollars common stock.
The preferred stock, which is offered
to the public at par, is non-cumulative
and preferred both as to dividends
and assets. Every dollars worth Of
stock offered the public in this sue
cessful business has more than dol
lars worth of actual, tangible assets
behind it.
Dividends will be declared semi
annually, payable on January and
July 1, and will be payable in funds
current in New York or Boston.
There is nothing whatever of a
speculative nature about the purchase
of this stock. 1t is an old established
business, manufacturing a staple
article of merchandise. The business
has been continuously successful for
more than a quarter of a century, and
is more prosperous to-day than at any
period of its history. l retain a half
interest in the business. My interest
in the business is represented by the
common stock, and / cannot receive
one cent OF dividend on my stock
until the full 10 dividend has been
paid on all the preferred stock.
The Douglas business is not subject
to fierce competition or affected by
panics. therefore this is n better invest
ment than any other industrial stock.
This is the best opportunity ever
offered for the permanent investment
IF LARGE or small sums of money The
principal is secure. and the 10 annual
dividend certain. / have never known
of anything better.
To my friends and patrons of many
years I unhesitatingly recommend /
the purchase of this stock as a safe,
sound, conservative investment.

0CLS ADOAC the W. +.
Douglas Shoe Business.
To those familiar with the shoe or
leather trade it is well known that l
have been one of the largest, as well
as most successful, manufacturers and
retailers of mems Goodyear Welt
(hand-sewed proccss) shoes in the
world.
TheWL. Douglas Shoe businessises-
tablished on an entirely different plan
from that of any other shoe concern.
The WI. Douglas product is market
ed in an original way. The method
by which the goods are sold has made
place for the Douglas shoe in all the
principal cities and towns in the
United States.
The business has been steadily ad-
vertiscd for nearly twenty years, until
now w. L. Douglas shoes are worn by
more people in all stations of life
than any other make.
oThe steady call upon the dealer for
w. l.. Douglas shoes insures large
and increasing business. The ca re-
tail stores in As American cities, owned
and operated by me, take portion of
the factory's product. This is all spot
cash business. l also sell to the retail
shoe dealers throughout the country,
having usually but oneagent in town.
Thus, in selling the product of the
factory through my own retail stores,
as well as to retail shoe dealers in
towns and cities where have no store,
keep the factory constantly employ
ed, turning out 1880 pairs of shoes
per day. There has been no change
in the selling price or terms in eigh-
teen years, the dealer always making
the same profit, thereby buying with
confidence. Short credits prevent the
dealer from getting overstocked.
Ny object in disposing of half-in-
terest in the business is primarily that
it be perpetuated and extended. The
name, w. L. Douglas, which is &C
cepted everywhere as standard of
merit, has been applied principally to
| mems Goodyear Welt (hand sewed
/ process) shoes. 1t can as well be APP
] piled to all kinds and prices of mems,
| womens and children's shoes.
The business has always been i'm
| mensely profitable. Were my only

Hmong the Miners]
DEVOTED TO THE LARGE AND SMALL {
NEWS OF THE MINING CAMPS I
OF FERGUS COUNTY.


The purchases Of gold at the United
States assay Office at Helena during
the months OF october and November
increased p~erceptibly over the same
months OF last year. a decrease for
October being more than Offset by an
increase for November, so that there
is an increase for the two months of
more than $4,000. The receipts in
October we're s233, 194.31 as compared
with s~257,435.91 in October 1900, but
for November this year the figures
were s236,663.36 against $3.50, 1886 in
November last year. The total for
Che two months of 1901 is si69, S57.67
and for the same period of 1900 1t is
s447, 621.27. The receipts in October,
1901, we're derived from the following
sources: Montana, $751;, 622.6S; Brit.
ish Columbia, s21. 661.56; other states.
$29,S70.07. The division for Novem.
Der is: Montana, $~171.Ss7.14; British
Columbia. s31,510.30; other states,
s~33,765.92. Lewis and Clarke county
still led in production among the
counties of Montana in October with
s39, 2.S9 as compared wfths3O, 26S.S4
from Fergus and $~29.553.77 from Mad.
ison. But in November ii took sec.
ond place to Madison, its production
being s39.460.54 against s45. 19S.2S
from Madison and s29,S29.91 from Fer
gus.-Western Mining World.
The above statement is somewhat
misleading, as it represents to the
mind Of the average reader that the
output of gold from Lewis and Clarke
county exceeds that of Fergus coun.
ty. Lewis and Clarke county is handy
to Helena and consequently almost
its total output is sent to that point,
while IL Is an assured fact that there
is in the neighborhood of $4,000 in
bullion sent direct to the national
mint and New York City from Fergus
county. All the way from $4,000 to
$4,000 is sent to the mint monthly
from the Bank of Fergus county and
property. which amounts to $4,000
the total output of the Gilt Edge
per month. is sent to New York City.
