The linens now come In so many
different weights and Of so many diff
ferent makes that it is quite possible
TO buy a linen at this season that can
be worn from the very minute 1t is
made. There are linen styles to suit
early spring as well as linen styles for
late midsummer. And one Of the best
importers is showing tailor made linens
In deep blues that are to be put on

a well known railroad builder, but it
is dangerous to dress as civilized

how an frreproachable businessman
was mistaken for gambler, because
he was so i'll advised as to put in a

There is no nicer fellow than James
Lotan, who was once the president
of the Willamette steel works He had
occasion to visit FarWen on the Co

who was building the Canadian Pa

"Farwell was pretty rough in those

billed shirt and collar were gamblers.

pearance before Sir James Ross, took
with him q few good clothes. Sir
James never dressed in anything but
blue shirt and corduroys. and would
