Former Citizen Who Still Has Exten.

c. Fred Kratzer, for many years a
resident Of this city, but for several
years making his home in Spokane,
has been in the city for several days
looking after mining interests. Some
eight or nine years ago when mining
operations were even more active than
they are today, Mr.. Kratzer was as
ISOLATED with Charles McKinnis in
the brokerage business, and in subse-

property which proved to be valu-

heavy stakeholder. He is also largely
interested in the National, and he ex-
presses the greatest confidence in the
future Of that property. He is also q

tons first convention and exhibition,
at the Hotel Martinique.
The designers came from all parts
Of the country and despite the tenn
perature Of more than 80 degrees in
which they sweltered, they enthusiast
tically discussed the Juvenile "stouts"
and the bishop sleeve"
Mr. Mckinley, speaking about big
feet and cuff bottom trousers, said the
combination was not at all artistic, to
say the least, so "why not cut out the
fad" unless one possess a "genteel
base and ankle worth display"
Regarding the art of dressing well
Mr.. Mckinley said:
'Tn the first place, 1t need not cost
any more to dress we'll than badly In
deed, the we'll dressed man is more
economical than slovenly man, for
he takes care Of his clothes and gets
full value out of them. The slovenly
chap wears the same suit day after
day and hacks It out in a couple Of
months, while the other changes and
alternates. II you are married you
owe 1t to your wife to appear well
groomed, for no woman respects
