In Rehospecion

With the formal opening
tomorrow, Thursday, Oeto-
Der 80, Of the recent addition
to our establishment, the ac-
complishment Of many years
planning, we desire q few
words of restrospection.
Many who now bring their
children and grandchildren
to the Boston House" will
remember our first modest
building at 7o5 Pennsylvania
avenue. 1t marked, we be-
lieve we will be pardoned for
so saying. a new era in Wash
/. ington merchandising. II
meant bringing to this city
those sturdy Puritanical prin-
ciples which Mr.. Woodward
and Mr.. Lothrop had received
in their training in that great
trade center-Boston. Il vas
starting 4 new enterprise
upon new ideals and new
ideas, a higher plane Of store
keeping, q standard that
meant one price to all; no
goods for less than the price
good goods can be sold; tho
return Of purchases il not en-
tirely satisfactory; the cheer
ful readjustment Of mis-
takes.
At the very beginning.
many departures and inno-
vations in store keeping now
to Washington were intro
duced. The defenminahon
then was, as it is now, that
whatever reward came to -
would come. from service.
They met their customers eys
to eye; both Mr.. Woodward
and Mr.. Lothrop knew most
of their patrons personally.
As building after building
has been added TO the origi-
nal store II increased the
proportion Of customers
whom they could not meet
personally. Notwithstanding
this fact, the rule then laid
down that each customer
should be dealt with in ex-
actly the same manner as
they themselves personally
would determine, has been
fostered and strengthened
to this day.
Looking back over the
period of years, our convic-
tions have been justified;
our patrons lost no time in
placing their unbiased ap-
proval upon our actions
that were right, and their
disapproval of our mistakes.
We were then, as now, -
anxious for deserved criti-
cism as for approval.
So we believe each day
has been a step of progress.
Each year we have shown
progress, until now We reach
the greatest height of our
entire career.
To remain new for almost
81 wears is a record of which
we feel proud. To you, our
clientele, the credit belongs.

TRUCKFF TO HOLD
WINTER CARNIVAL

The Truckee Chamber of Commerce,
which is about to launch out on an
enterprise of much financial hazard,
has sent out the following announce
ment of a Winter Carnival:
We p to establish in Truckee
an annual "Fiesta of the Shows
! which we believe can be made to be as
important an event in the west as in
Montreal's yearly Winter Carnival.
| Efforts, as doubtless you know have
been made in a somewhat tentative
and experimental manner hitherto and
THOUGH no great success was achieved,
because none was sought, the results
we're sufficiently encouraging to
prompt and recommend the present
elaborate plans.
An ice palace, costing $4,000 is be-
ing erected on the Fiesta grounds
which are located within a convenient
~ short distance of the railroad on
banks of the Truckee river. The
palace will enclose a large ice skating
rink which will be fully equipped and
provided with a band of instrumental
lists. Adjacent halls and reception
rooms will invite those who seek the
warmth of huge freplaces after the
glow of skating.
An extensive scheme of electric
lighting will be installed on the
grounds, the trees of which will lend
themselves, in their clothes of ice and
their overcoats of snow. to bizarre,
fantastic and beautiful effects. The
glittering ice palace will be the climax
CT this scheme of electrical illumina-
ton.
A %toboggan slide is being prepared
over a safe route that will depelop
speed enough to satisfy the most en-
thusiastie lover of speed. Skeeing, an
invigorating sport known but little in
California, will be taught by experts
who will give thrilling exhibitions. Tn
Vulnerable games known mainly in
California to patrons of the { movies"
will be arranged.
OF particular interest to the tourist
and to all good westerners will be the
ride to Bonner lake. A road from the
Fiesta grounds to this picturesque and
historic spot will be kept open during
the entire season (Which viii last ap.
proximateiy from the middle of De-
cember to February of each winter)
and a splendid sleigh service installed
so that the visitors may enjoy a real
Santa Claus ride to the tinkling of
sleigh bells.

GOPHERS LOOKING
FORWARD TO GOOD
YEAR ON GRlDlRON
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 27.-'Dr. H.
l.. Williams. coach of Minnesota foot
ball, will assemble the 1913 prospect
ives for practice, Saturday. September
20. The Big Nine" conference rules
do not permit football practice until
the stipulated date and little viii be
known of the Gopher football pros
poets until the men are called together
On NOrthrOp field.
There is a promising stock of new
material available and the early midi
cations is that Dr. Williams should
have a strong team. Several of the
freshmen developed under Assistant
Sig Harris and Johnnie McGoyern are
expected To make places and if the
coach builds defense for the forward
pass Minnesota should win some foot
ball honors.
Mattern, Solem, Rush and Feelcy are
a quartet of new men who will likely
be found on the regular lineup. These
men have been thoroughly groomcd in
Minnesota tactics and in some of the
practice brushes last fall crushed the
regulars. Mattern and feeley are for
mer Minneapolis wesi high School
stars. the latter having the ear marks
of a wonderful back field mao. Both
were stars in high school.
Last year Minnesota, had a light,
dashing eleven, which until the cXpul-
sion of capt. Tollefson showed cham
pionship ability. The loss Of the leader
impaired the machine attack of the
team ard when the badgers invaded
Northrop field the Maroon and Gold
were forced TO take defeat.
The game bore out one thing, how
ever---the fact that Minnesota had a
poor defense for the forward pass. The
Badgers negotiated long passes. the
ball being intercepted by unguardCd
men, and this was primarily the cause
of the defeat. pr Williams will un-
doubtedly pay u great deal of atten-
lion To developing a defense To thwart
the pass this year.
There Is considerable grumbling i'm
Minnesota circles over the fall g sched-
Tile. The program calls for only one
big game at Northrup field, that with
Chicago. The GopherS must play Ne
braska on the latter's gridiron, and the
Chicago, Wisconsin and Illinois con-
tests will also he played away from
home.
The schedule difficulties are not the
fault OF Minnesota, however, as this is

alternating plan arranged with the
other teams
