The outlook from our standpoint
During the past month We sold
more suits at $50 and upward than
at prices below-seem to be making
many new friends who formerly
went to expensive custom tailors-
So We are glad that this higher
priced part of our stock is IN good
condition with generous variety of
sizes and patterns.
Indeed we see no indication of
need for radical reductions In the near
future, though of course wherever
sizes are broken those left are being
marked down.
Perhaps the secret lies In the fact
that every one of the mixture suits
offered was made for this season.

More Girls in Prosperous Times.

Cleveland, June 30.--Control of
the sex OF infants is d practical prop
0siti0n, according to Dr.. Frank Kraft
Of the American Institute of Home
opathy.
DR.. Kraft says he has discovered
no new principle. but has shown the
practical application OF an organiza-
ton with the evolution theory. The
principle, he says, is based on the law
of the survival Of the fittest. DR..
Kraft makes these declarations in a
book just offered the press.
It is well known to scientists, he
says, that savage races and races
which exist where the conditions OF
life are hardest produce a prepon-
defiance of male children. From this
fact he deduces that nature Tecog-
niZes in the female the weaker sex.
Thus, he says, in times of plenty
females are likely to predominant.
Some thinkers on the subject even go
so far as TO state that hard times
produce male children.

WHERE IS
]. K. CRUTE?
MAN LEAVING LAKE CHEL.AN
SOME TIME AGO CAN NOT DE
tOCND.-BOAT AXD LETTERS
PICKED UP ON THE SHORE.

Where is j. K. Crute? This Ia
the problem that people of his ac-
quaintance are trying to solve. Last
fall he and his brother, the latter Of
whom formerly ran the engine in the
Wenatchee laundry left to cut wood
on the place at Stehekin belonging
to F. F. Keller of this city
a letter received by Mr.. Keller two
weeks ago stated that Mrs. Crute
would be in to see him within a few
days on business matter. He fur
Their stated that she would stop with
a family by the name of Brown.
Mrs. Crute has not been at the Of
flee of Mr.. Keller.
Crute wrote to Keller that he
would be out of his house by April
1. His household goods are still in
the house.
Find Dog.
Parties on the lake have found
the dog belonging to Crute. They
also found a boat on the shore and
some letters which were addressed
to Crute and written by Mr. Keller
were torn to pieces and buried on
the shore. The dog when found was
nearly starved, and acted as if his
master were in the lake.
Crute's brother was seen in We
natchee on June 2. At that time he
stated that he would be in Keller's
office the next day in company with
his brothers wife's mother, to ar
range about a certain business mat
ter. He never appeared.
Believed to be Murdered.
Keller is of the opinion that the
man has lost his life and circum-
stances point to the fact that he may
have been murdered.
! William Emerson of Chelan is here
today. He also believes that some
thing is wrong. Either that the man
has been drowned or that he has
been murdered.
Following the wording IN the letter
from Crute that his wife would stop
with family by the name of Brown,
a number of Browns have been called
mp, but none know anything of Crute
or his family.
