Foot, Schulze & Co.'s name contest
was the most interesting ever held in
the Northwest. It is safe to say that
no shoe house in this section of the
country ever received as many ingeni-
GUS suggestions as has the house of
Foot, Schulze & Co. within the past
three months. Two thousand sixty-one
answers were received up to Saturday
night, April 18th, and they came from
all sections of the United States, a re-
markabIe comment on the extent Of the
circulation of the Twin City daily and
Farm papers.
Of the seven papers used in the adj
vertising contest, the replies came from

The contest was advertised in the

continued to arrive until the day of the

GOOD names were received, so many
complimentary things were said about
the FOOT-SCHULZE shoes by the con-
testants, and so many very acceptable
and original suggestions were made that
the firm Of Foot, Schulze & Co. feel
that they owe hearty thanks to every
contestant for the ingenuity and good
will displayed and the time and thought
given to the problem of naming the new
FOOT-SCHULZE $500 shoe for men
and the new FOOT-SCHULZE $500 shoe
for women.
The names selected are as follows:
| Men s shoe, the "FOOT-SCHULZE. -
| Women s shoe, the "MAID WE'LL
There were literally hundreds of
equally good suggestions.
Many Of these had to be discarded
because they were already in use either
by Foot, Schulze & Co. or by some other
manufacturers.
Many suggested "Alice Roosevelt, -
"Lady Alice,'' "Roosevelt,' "Long.

thought inadvisable to make use of as it
did not seem wise to utilize the names
of the present White House family.

800 BODIES RECOVERED
Dead in Frisco Are Buried as Fast as

San Francisco, April 23.-The total
number of bodies recovered and buried
up to Sunday night is! 800. No COM
plete record can be had at this time, as
many bodies have been buried without
permits from the coroner and the board
of health. The searchers Of the coron-
er's and board Of health departments
found more than twenty bodies yester-
day. They were buried Immediately.
A few of these bodies could be identi-
fed and the graves were marked by
numbers. ~
It is impossible at the present time to
obtain any sort Of death list or even
to make a reliable estimate Of the num-
Der of casualties. Whenever q body is
found it is buried Immediately without
formality and as these burials have been
made. at widely separated parts of the
city by different searchers who do not
en5make' a prompt report to head
quarters, considerable confusion has re-
suited in. estimating the number of cas-
ualties. Exaggerated reports have re-
