Why do actors so often wear long

There once was statute in England

was started.

BUYERS IN M|SSOULA
FAST|D|OUS
A VETERAN MERCHANT NOTES A
CHANGE IN THE TASTES OF
HIS CUSTOMERS.

There is a marked change In the
Morris Schlossberg yesterday after
noon, as he watched his checking
clerks unload a lot of mems hats and
other wearing apparel This year
notice ii more than ever; there Is a
general demand for better goods than
there used to be; we are selling more
high grade clothing, both for men and
women, than we were year ago, and
when you look back farther than that
the difference seems even greater. We
have bought a better stock this year
than We ever had before, as we learned
last year that we would need it.
we are selling this year many of
our own brands, goods that are made
to our order and that are marked with
our store brand when they are made.
This has become necessary in many of
our lines, as We find it best to have
good goods identified with our store
The western market is always more
particular, and it is coming to be more
and more the case that the manufac-
turers wait for the western merchants
orders before they make up the goods;
they can't sell much of the eastern
stock goods out in the west.
TT is a fact, and there are plenty of
people in the business, east and west
who will bear me out in this, that the
western retail business has surprised
the eastern wholesalers and manufac-
turers for the past two years. When
other sections were buying light we
bought heavy; when they were not
buying at all in many cases we were
buying as usual. And that is why you
can go into our stores here in the west
and find more and better goods than
can be found in the east in the stores
of cities many times the size of this.
I'VE have started a little sale this
week and we shall keep it up for the
rest of the month. The weather to-
day was a little against US, but We
have done a good business; the sales
are better than | had any idea they
would be when I saw the storm this
morning. We are offering inducements
to the people that will overcome the
effect of the weather, and we are, as
| have said, offering the very best
goods that can be found in the mar
kets. east or west"

OPERATIONS ARE

is PARALYZED.

Albuquerque, n. NJ, April 12.-As a

tby physician of Topeka, James Pea
cock, night clerk at the Santa Fee Of
flee, is completely paralyzed After
the operation one side of his face be-

spread and yesterday it rendered his
limbs useless.
Operations for cross eyes and closed
tear ducts are criminal DR. Dodd has

More than so patients have been fitted

considerable distance up that stream
has already been accomplished. There
was rumor yesterday that the men
appearing at Kooskia are representing
the Milwaukee road, but there seems
little foundation for such a view
However, there is foundation for the
view that the Milwaukee will have
surveyors on the Reed creek section
of the North Fork in a short time, in
dicating that the company plans a
line along the North Fork extending
to connection with it's new road in
Montana.
1.-THE developments of yesterday re-
sulting in the surveyors being rushed
into the Middle Fork district, give
every promise of providing in a few
days other important moves dealing
with the transportation situation in
the Lewiston region, which situation
is becoming more interesting with the
passing of each day"

20 men in the party and the
camp outfit was of such magnitude
that the Clearwater train carried an
extra baggage car for the accommo-
dation of the same. The outfit in
cludes many camp stoves, with a
large amount of incidental camp
equipment, while the amount of pro-
visions included would indicate the
field work is to be an extended one.
At Kooskia packers have been en-
ployed, and the report there was to
the effect that the crew would i'm
mediately start for the snow line and
would continue in the field until tn,
Montana divide was crossed.

being engaged in running a line up

yesterday commenced cross-section
work, following up the first crew out
I'm some quarters the Kooskia crew
are classed as Northern Pacific men,
the advices being that they hurried
into the field to block the move be-
ing made by the o. R. & N. 1t is a
noteworthy fact in this connection
that in all past clashes between the
Northern Pacific and o. r. & N. in
this field, when a construction war
was threatened, the point of keenest
attack has always been on the Mid
die Fork. This might account FOR the
belief that the Kooskia crew repre-
sent the Northern Pacific. Both the
O. r. & N. and the Northern Pacific
have preliminary surveys GU the Mid
die Fork, the latter following the
Locksaw branch to the Lolo pass,
which is reached by the Selway
branch of the Middle Fork. At the
upper stretches of the Selway snow
would now deny effective work there
and for this reason the move of the
railroad companies is accepted as be-
ing an urgent one, otherwise the
mountain district would not be at
tempted this early in the season.
Prior to the truce between the North
ern Pacific and the o. R. & N, which
resulted in the building of the Lewis
ton-Riparia and Lewiston-G rangeville
lines, the o. r. & N. had done consid-
cradle work on the Clearwater line,
the survey extending from Joseph up
the south bank of the Clearwater to
Kooskia. Kooskia is at the mouth of
the Middle Fork, and from Kmskia
the line was run up the Middle Fork
on the south bank of that stream. At
the forks the Selway branch was fol-
lowed and preliminary work for a

NEW RAIL WAY CONSTRUCTION CERTAIN
IN M|SS0ULA TERRITORY THIS YEAR
Gossip Regarding the Surveying Operations That Are
Going on on All Sides and Definite Information Con-
corning Some of the Plans They Are Developing This
Month in the Field.

Yesterdays purchases of right-of
way strips along the Blackfoot by the
c.. M. & P. s. strengthens the conf
dence which exists in the construc-
ton of the line up the Big Blackfoot
canyon by this company. There is no
doubt of the serious intentions of this
company in it's survey work up that
canyon and on into the Clearwater
country. The Muscular has positive
assurance from high authority that
this and other branch lines are to be
built and built soon. But the acquisi-
ton of right-of-way at this time adds
to the certainty, and the Blackfoot
branch will soon be a reality.
Up in the Blackfoot country the
Northern Pacific has parties of sur
veyors not less actively engaged than
their rivals; these parties are working
with the same energy, and it is ex-
pected that there will soon be definite
developments In this direction. The
Northern Pacific work up the Bitter
Root, which was thoroughly outlined
in The Muscular last week, is being
prosecuted with vigor; there is no
time to be lost here, and the line
from Florence to Hamilton on the
east side of the river is assuming
definite direction.
Word from the reservation is that
there is but one small party of the
Hill surveyors left on the work of To-
eating the Kalispell line; this party
is finishing some of the detail work,
and when this is out of the way the
preliminary work on this line will be
completed. The line is definitely To-
Gated and it is understood that the
map has been sent to headquarters
for approval. 1t is said that this line
will be the first to be constructed of
all that are being surveyed this
spring.
The Hartman survey over the Lolo
pass is progressing. Engineer Mills
and his party are working on this side
of the range and on the Idaho side
of the divide there is even greater
activity. The Lewiston Tribune of
last Friday, which was received here
yesterday, gave considerable informa-
ton as to the survey work that is be-
ing done in the vicinity of the Clear
water valley. The Tribune has this to
say about the work that is going on
over there:
Yesterday afternoon large crew
of railroad surveyors reached Koos-
kia on the Clearwater train and will
Immediately start work along the
middle fork of the Clearwater. The
first report was to the effect that
they were Northern Pacific men, but

crew was sent to Kooskia by the o.

regular Lewiston bound train from
Spokane and transferred Immediately
