RUSSIA WANTS BOOTS
FOR THE CzAR's ARMY
LARGEST SHOE CO. IN U. S. FINDS
ORDER roo BIG TO
HANDLE.
(st. Louis Globe -pemocratl

! The Brown Shoe company, 18th
street and Washington avenue, has
been asked by a NV York house TO
quote price on 100000 pairs of lea
Their boots for the Russian army and
has refused. The eastern concern IS
one of the Representatives of the Rus
sian government in America.
Albert Thels, vice president Of the
Brown company, said yesterday his
company could not handle such an or
der and he would decline to quote n
price on that number Of boots
The sample boot submitted by the
Russian government Is made Of the
finest quality of Russian calf skin.
This quality of leather Theis said, can
not be obtained In America in large
enough quantities to fill such an or
der The greater part Of this kind of
leather which is used in the United
States is imported from Russia and
Germany
Theis said the boot is constructed
peculiarly and the Brown plant would
be unable, even if supply of leather
could be obtained to turn out the or
der in time for use by the Russian
army.
Would Require Two Years.
No single shoe plant in the United
States could handle the order Theis
said. The boots would cost, Theis es-
timated, 500 pair, which would bring
the total order up to $3O,500,0O0. 1t
would require two years for the Brown
plant to turn out the order, working
the full force Of the plant
Theis said that. in his opinion. Rus
STA, France and Germany would be
compelled to place large orders for
shoes in the United States if the war
continues until March or April The
Russian manufactures are closed down
he said. and France and Germany are
in little better condition, When their
supplies give out these three nations
will be forced to buy their shoes in the
United States or go barefooted. Eng

RECORD TUNNEL DRIVING.
Breaking Some Muck Running Tunnel
Under Selkirk Mountains.

The Canadian Pacific is driving a
tunnel under the Selkirk mountains on
its through line The work is being
carried on in novel fashion, inasmuch
rs instead of combining the advance to
two headings or obtaining additional
working faces by sinking shafts small
pioneer tunnels are being driven on
one side Of the main tunnel line and
from these crosscuts are being run
/ over to the tunnel line and thus a num-
Der Of working points established.
! says a communication from the niger
soll-R Rand company
Some fast work is being done on the
pioneer tunnels, and during Novem-
| her progress was made on the tunnel
! from the west which is believed to be
the record for months work on tun-
nels of this size in North America r r
The 80 days work, November / to 80
! inclusive, the advance was S17 feet
while for 81 days work, November
to December l. inclusive, in section,
and the rock traversed during the
month was slate containing ,quarty
stringers. The work was performed
with three Leyner machines, mounted
on a 9-foot 6-inch crossbar The gang
consisted of three machine men, two
helpers, eight muckers. one trackman
one pumpman and one walking fore
man for two headings. The tunnel is
being driven down a ! per cent grade
and pump had to be placed in the
face before dropping the bar to drill
the lifters. The muck is hauled out by
mules. The bar was set up above the
muck pile in the usual fashion for
drilling the top holes, and after these
We're finished, dropped to drill the
lifters.
The average advance per day for the
80 days was 27S4 feet The best days
work was that of November "a. when
81 feet was made The best weeks
work was November 23 to November
20, when 22O feet was driven. The
fastest round drilled occupied hours
40 minutes on November 2S Four !
five and even six rounds per day were |
shot At the beginning Of the month |
he portal was in 1885, feet and at the
end of the 81 DAYS, 3137 feet. The
work is being done under contract by |
Foley brothers, Welch & Stewart. The /
best previous months record known In
America was that made on the Mount
Royal tunnel in Montreal by McKen-

WILSON WAS ANNOYED
UNDERWOOD LAW 0. K.
CHANGING TARIFF LAW WOULD
BE A CONFESSION THAT 1T
is A FAILURE.

Referring to the recently published
letter from the Montgomery County
Manufacturers association of Penn
sylvania, in which it was pointed oui
that the business condition ~ the
country was growing worse ana call
ing upon the president to recommend
changing the Underwood tariff law
| for the benefit of business, Il Wash
| ington special to the Philadelphia
| Public Ledger, says: president VII
son seemed annoyed when asked today
what reply he would make to the lat-
ter of the Montgomery County Manu-
facturers' association. This latter
which was received Saturday, cit ed the
situation in Pennsylvania. and called
upon the president to use his influence
to have the Underwood tariff lew
amended, and thereby benefit bust
ness.
Denies Claims in Letter.
The letter apparently, had not been
brought to the presidents notice, for
said he had not seen the communica
ton. He was then told that it p!ctur-
ed business conditions as growing
worse and more serious than before
the November election, when the as
ISOLATION had written a similar let
ter.
His reply was a flat denial that the
situation was as detailed by tHa let
ter. He said "That is not So AS he
has frequently said that tho Under
wood tariff bill should not be Chang
ed, he made no reply to that part Of
the request.
While there are a number of demo-
Gratis who think that it would be wise
to modify the Underwood bill hefor
the next election, the majority arc
averse to 1t. President Wilson ar1
Underwood hold that II
win work out satisfactorily.
Must Stand by Free Trade.
From a democratic point of view IL
would be a political mistake for the
party managers to countenance
change in the tariff law, This woul'
be confession that the policy was
not in harmony with economic condi-
ions in this country, and would be ar
argument that protection is necessary
% prosperity.
Therefore the Underwood tariff law
viii not be amended in any way by the |
democrats. There is possibility that

Even the manufacturers of tooth

bad business. They say that there is
much less demand for their product
than when we had protection and

a bill Of fare made up of soup or mush

he hasn't had anything at all to eat.

down by silly customs that make them

in the belief that they be the lords OF
creation enjoying the only real pleasures
of existence. In the jungle one would
scarcely stand supinely aside while
another took his mate. 1t is a silly world
an idiotic world, and Tarzan of the Apes
was a fool to renounce the freedom and
the happiness of his jungle to come

Presently, as he sat there, the sudden
feeling came over him that eyes were
watching from behind and the old in

the thin veneer of civilization, so that
Tarzan wheeled about so quickly that
