YOu'H Hear

Some people say they never drink Tea or Coffee, and the reason they give is they do not like the taste or at-others will say it doesn't agree with them. Well, it's thousand to one they have never drank any from our store. We know one instance where a certain person had refralned from Tea for seventeen years, but one day while visiting they were served some of Our Tea with light lunch and 1t was so palatable that they called for the second cup and in Quired where it was purchased. It's needless to say we had one more GUS toner added to our list and the whole family has been made happy, yes, sir rec, they are just as happy as the Waterbury policeman were on last Sunday. We'll, did you see our 'scops'' with their belts and white gloves? Say, they looked fine and the best of it is they all know it. Of course they are a fine looking lot of fellows, anyway, and the white gloves top them off so that it's much easier to find one of them when you are looking for him; you can tell him a mile away. Therefore the crooks and sspotters' will be much pleased with the new rules. Say, did 1t ever occur to you that We would have no crooks and less spotters and a blame sight more happiness dn this world if everyone would drink nothing strong CT than nice tasting Tea or Coffee. We mean the kind we sell, bars of soap or U shopping bag with each pound of 5O-cent Tea and the best Butter in the city is 26 cents per pound at

FREMONT LIBELLED
TO COVER DAMAGES

A libel suit for costs of repairs was
filed in the federal court at Seattle
yesterday by the Pacific Coast Steam
ship company, owner of the Ramo-
ma, against the owners of the Ire
mont. An investigation into the col
lision between the two vessels was
held by the marine inspectors this
afternoon.
Captain Garlick, of the fremont,
claims that his vessel was merely
drifting, while Captain Clancy, of the
Ramona, says the fremont attempted
to cross his bows, and that she was
responsible for the collision. The
passengers and crews who were on
deck at the time of the accident will
be sworn and examined by the in
spectors.
1t is thought temporary repairs
can be made TO the fremont so she
can get away the last of the week.
The repairs will be made at Seattle.
The Ramona will be repaired at the
Eagle Harbor shipyards.
