The Electrical Dressmaker.

The Electrical Dressmaker.
In those good old days still within the
memory Of most Of us, every community
supported one or more dressmakers who
Travelled from house to house and made
the gowns for our mothers and sisters.
These dressmakers cut the cloth accord
ing to a tissue paper pattern and sewed
It mostly by hand, although the old sew
ing machine was called in now and then
20 do it's share Of the rougher work, The
dresses We're basted ard fitted and then
sewed and finished by hand. the whole
process taking days and days.
Down I'm the big city Of New York they
make dresses by electricity. They make a
dozen dresses while the old-fashioned
dressmaker would be taking off her hat
and coat, In this New York factory the
dresses are made by the thousand. The
various colored goods as received from the
mill are spread out on long tables and in
a flash the electric knives have cut out
the many complicated sections of the gar
ment according to the patterns. Then the
goods are passed along to other operatives.
one machine, driven by a tiny electric
motor and managed by a young woman,
sews the sleeves together in a trice while
all about her are other motor-driYen ma
chimes stitching together the other parts
OF the dress, These machines sew at the
rate Of over a thousand stitches a minute,
which will give you some idea OF how fast
they run, Even the buttons are sewed on
by electricity and another electric machine
fashions and completes the b~uttonhOle.
When the dresses are finished they are
pressed with an electric iron, packed In
boxes and delivered to the railroad
station in an electric truck. The fact
that electricity drives the various ma
chimes makes II possible to complete thou
sands Of these dresses a day, thereby saw
ing nearly all the former cost Of making
each dress by hand.

Address by Clifford Plnchot.
When the long and loud applause
that followed the presidents address
had subsidized, Clifford Pinchot, chief
of the United States forest service,
was introduced and made lively
speech on the conservation of natural
resources. OF the deep waterway pro.
ject he said:
"A progressive plan for the develop
ment of our waterways is essential.
Pending the completion of this plan,
which should neither be weakened by
excessive haste nor drowned in ex-
cessive deliberation, work should pro-
coed at once on some of the greater
projects which we know already will
be essential under any plan that may
be devised. First and foremost Of
these by unanimous consent is the i'm
provement of the Mississippi river.
"a comprehensive and progressive
plan of the kind we need can be made
in one way only. and that is by a
commission of the best men in the
United States appointed directly by
the president of the United States.
"Such plan must consider every
use to which our rivers can be put,
and every means available for their
control. 1t must deal with such great
and the nation in the construction and
control of the work, and the coordina-
ton of rail and river transportation.
The engineering difficulties may be
larger than any we have yet solved.
The adjustment of opposite demands
between conflicting interests and To-
calities, and other questions of large
reach. and often of great legal COM
pleXity, will tax the powers of the
best men we have. No part of the
work will require greater temperance
wisdom and foresight than certain
questions of policy and law"
This gave Mr.. Pinchot the opening
to discuss the charges that the for
est service has gone beyond the law
In carrying out its work, and his refu
tation of such charges was most Wig
orous and was met with hearty ap
plause.

BIG MEETING IN GUIDE
BARRlLL'S TOWN.
LASTS TILL AFTER MIDNIGHT
Says Counsel Is Trying to Catch
Guilty Money Givers Higher Up.
in Meantime He Will Trust to
Fairness of Montana People.

Hamilton, Mont, Oct. 30.-After
stormy session lasting till after mid
night, large meeting addressed by
DR.. Frederick A. Cook adopted a reso-
luton expressing confidence in the
veracity of Barrill and Printz, the
guides who made atiidayits that Cook
did not climb Mount Mckinley
DR.. Cook denounced his opponents
as unfair and defended his claims of
having assembled Mount Mckinley.
He declared money was used corrupt
ly in obtaining certain affidavits
against him.
This is the home of Edward N. Bar
DR.. Cook never reached the summit of
Mount Mckinley. He was enthusiast
cally received and his address was
generously applauded.
DR.. Cook thanked his large audience
for it's reception and assured his hear
ers he would go up the mountain again
and obtain proofs that he had made
his first ascent.
At the conclusion of his story Of
the attainment of the North pole 70.
garding his ascent of Mount Mckinley,
he prefaced his remarks with this
statement:
Satisfied that the people of Mon.
tana believe in justice and fair play,
l have come into your commonwealth,
not to seek revenge, not to enter into
controversy with men in whom
only had every confidence, but to ask
for fair deal. There is no malice
in my heart; l am not here to invoke
the strong arm of the law My vera
city has been attacked by men resid-
ing in this community. They have
fallen into evil hands and the tempta-
ton was too great. They have sold
their birthright for silver and there
probably was more than 80 pieces.
Leaves Verdict to People.
Il am here to give my version Of
the Mount Mckinley controversy and
then leave my case in the hands of an
honest body-the people of tho great
state of Montana. l will accept her
verdict"
At the conclusion of DR.. Cooks adj
dress, counsel for Barrill and PrintZ,
the guides, arose and questioned the
explorers declaration that he reached
the top of Mount Mckinley.
Following this j. H. Durston, editor
of the Anaconda Standard, introduced
resolution criticizing DR.. Cook and
upholding the two guides.

MRS. C. G. BENNETT,

Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in SO many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.
