EXPLAINING WHAT
SECURING MEANS

Have you ever considered what
securing means? OF course not. Let
me tell you that securing means no
more than soap and brush with hot
water. That is what you subject
your valuable garments to when you
order them to be secured.
We did securing years ago, and we
learned the result, that the clothes
would never look the same after be-
ing secured. We abolished the scour-
ing entirely and have adopted the
Rebuilt system of Dry Cleaning A
system that needs no use Of water.
The spots are thoroughly cleaned out
and the garments are renovated and
sterilized, and yet it does not inter-
fere with the shape of them. We
positively guarantee against shrink
ing, as it is impossible for the gar
ment to shrink through the use of the
Rebuilt dry cleaning system.
Would you not consider the diff
ference? We know that you are
pleased with your present work, but
we want you to try once the Rebuilt
system and then see for yourself.
You do not have to pay any more
for this class of work than .ou pay
for the inferior kind.
Our charge for Dry Cleaning a full
suit is $780, or coat and pants, S125.
OF course if you only want thom
brushed and pressed we will only
charge so cents. We talk to you
through the paper about the Rebuilt
system, and we would like you very
much to give it a trial now.
We do all kinds of Cleaning, Drying
and Pressing, and guarantee our work
to be satisfactory in every respect

WOMAN CANDIDATE
TAUGHT MANY YEARS
Mrs. Wilson Spent Eleven Years
in Des Moines Schools and
Four in Spokane

Mrs Alethe B. Wilson, who is a
candidate for the position of school
director, is not only the only woman,
but the only west side applicant for
the place, which, it is thought, should
give her double strength in the race.
While she has never been "a school
director before women school direc-
tors being yet something of a novelty
she has had lots of experience in
the practical work of running a
school and directing classes.
Mrs. Wilson is an Iowa woman and
got her education at Drake univer-
sity. She taught in the grades in the
Des Moines schools for eleven years
and later went to Spokane where she
taught two years in the public
schools
She is member of the p. f. o., a
rather remarkable secret order which
was started few years ago by seven
girls in one Of the Iowa universities
with no thought that it would ever
be anything but a little private club.
Its objects are philanthropic and ed
ucational and there are now ever so
many chapters in Iowa and it has be-
come a national orgniztion, with
branches in many states and cities.
The P. e. o. In its educational work
helps girls to get an education by
means of scholarships or other ma
terial assistance.
Mrs. Wilson is also a member of
the d. A. r, and the Y. w. c. a. She
has lived here four years. her home
being on Bonnie Doom avenue. She
has a little boy in the first grade at
the Mckinley school. Her friends
speak of her as a broadminded, capa-
BILE woman who would deal nationally
with prctical problems. She believes
in the establishment of social centers
in the public schools and other pro
sressive plans, but believes that it
takes time to bring about reforms
Her supporters say that she would
not be precipitate or revolutionary in
the course she endorsed.

of Horn and Hoof
BREEDERS OF HOLSTEINS
DOING EXCELLENT WORK
West Side Writer Says Local
Farm Bids Fair to Be One of
the Great Centers of the Black
and White Cattle

Messrs ]. P. and T.. B. Marks of
the Ahtanum are ths subjects of a.
sketch in the latest issue of Horn and
Hoof published at Seattle which is
running a sci les entitled prominent
Live Stock Breeders of Washington"
The sketch of these two men and
their respective careers, along with
fine half-tone engraving of each, is
given the first place in the November
issue of Horn and Hoof, which says,
among other things, the following:
I'm 1891 things seemed to go very
hard with him. He lost his wife, and
conditions seemed to be changing; but
he was gradually working out great
problem-the problem of addition and
also of subtraction. He was adding
pure bred stock to his herd and SUBJ
tracing the inferior animals from it.
His Best Purchases
HE had bought in 1889 a yearling
registered Holstein bull for S125 and
a three months-old heifer for $50. His
neighbors made fun of his giving such
prices; though that he was off his
balance. He says that these were the
best purchases that he ever made in
cattle. He soon had the best herd in
the valley. In 1907 he sold the last
of his grade stock, and since then he
has stocked up with the best regis
tered animals that he could find He
has now a herd of 100, all registered
and in first class condition, many of
them flying blue ribbons. He has the
honor of being the first man to raise
fruit in the Ahtanum valley, an
among the first TO ra Sc it in the
county. ....-t
About E. II. Marks
"Mr. e. B. Marks son of the above,
has had charge of the farm and stock
for the last two years. He started in
the stock business with his brother in
1897, and continued till 1908, when
he sold out and put all his energies
and time in on the herd of pure bred
Hosteins at 'Holstein Home Farm
They bought their first shipment of
cattle from Minnesota in December,
1906. They made another shipment
in December, 1907 also from Mime
sofa, followed by another shipment
from New York in 1908. Then again
in 1909 and 1910, until now their herd
numbers 100 and over.
Make Quality Their Aim
"In buying their cattle the Marks
have always aimed to get quality In
fact, the cattle they buy must always
be up to the mark Their first herd
bull was a full brother of Pietertje
Maid Ormsby. This animal held
third highest record in the world.
They have since purchased a son of
the great King Segis, one of the
champion sires of the world. With
such foundation as this, Holstein
Home Farm bids fair to be one of
the great centers for the black and
white cattle, and perhaps the home
of one Of the future worlds cham

GATES DENIES
ALL CHARGES
Almoner of John D. Rockefeller
Throws More Light on
Merritt Deals
SAYS ALL WAS SETTLED
EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO

100000 TO Develop and Mer-
ritts Were Paid Additional Half
Million at Later Period

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-"Not a syl-
liable of the words which Leonidas
Merritt put in my mouth was ever
uttered by me-" declared Rev. Fred
eric T. Gates, in a statement issued
today criticising the testimony given
by Merritt recently before the Stanley
investigating committee with all
emphasis | can command, l wish to
deny in detail these outrageous
charges" continued Rev. Gates.
All Denied 10 Years Ago
After registering his emphatic de-
NAL, Gates continued.
II have further to say that not one
of the wrong acts which Leonidas
Merritt says Mr.. Rockefeller com nit
ted or that l committed in his be-
half, were ever done by either Rock
efeller or me, and that Rockefeller
and 1 on oath, denied the wrong acts
specifically and in detail eighteen
years ago. 1 need not add that every
one of the Merritts that have made
the charges or Joined in making them
withdrew the charges over their own
signatures
Cost Rockefeller $19,OOO,OOO
Gates said Rockefeller advanced
nearly s19,000,000 for the develop
ment of the mines in addition to the
purchase price of the stock taken
over by him. Gates says Rockefeller
never did "call'' his loans to the Mer-
ritts After referring to the state
ment signed by the Merritts, Gates
concludes:
when they did retract we gave
them 900, which added to the
money previously paid them, amounts
to SIS a share on all stock which they
had sold, which was it's then market
price, and amounted in substance to
an extension of the option for the two
intervening years"
Merritt Roas.s Rev. Gates
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.--Replying
to the statement of the Rev. Frederick
7. Gates in which he denied all the
Charges made by Merritt Brothers
before the House Steel Trust inves-
tigation committee, Leonidas Merritt
declared tonight he had heard it all
before that it was easy to be seen that
Gates was more familiar with the
ledgers of Rockefeller than he was
with the Bible for the reason that his
mind for years had been fixed on
"cash on earth rather than treasures
lin heaven"
