Therefore, we opne that to promote greater Sales, and
greater use of Automobiles, few better incentives can be
offered than n,arkedly-lowered COST TO CONSUMERS for

Just as we recognize that the only legitimate expansion
open to the Tire Industry as whole would be due to the Sale
Of more Automobiles each year Consumers with greater

That is why we favor the Lowest possible price for

Sam Rush's Hat.

S. u. Rush, formerly of this city,
but now residing at Burlington. had
thrilling experience with his hat
one day last week, as told by the
Burlington Hawk-Eye:
Sam Rush had some business to
transact at the city hall yesterday.
He rushed through the same and
rushed away with the city solicitors
hat. The city solicitor little later
made rush to get his hat, but found
that in the rush to get away Rush got
the best hat.
Now there is quite collection OF
hats at the city hall, intended for
prisoners, but in order to get the city
solicitor on his way he was offered
the choice of the entire collection.
The hats were of all sorts and sizes,
Of various shapes and conditions, but
nothing was there that suited the
fastidious taste of the city official.
He finally borrowed lid and took
after Rush. While looking for Rush,
this Individual had noticed the mis-
take and returned to the city hall
with the city solicitors hat. 1t is
not known what became of the city
solicitor. Rush got Rush's hat and
il the city solicitor does not call for
his hat it will be consigned to the
prisoners QUILTING department.

that Stephen A. Vaughn had passed
away suddenly at his home in Wood

ed home from a visit to one of his

house requested his wife to bring
him the medicine that he had
been using to allay the pain in his
chest from which he had been suffers
ing at times. He seated himself in q
chair and Mrs. Vaughn hurriedly
brought the medicine. He took a
swallow of it and a moment later as
she turned to him his head had fall
en- back and when she reached him
life was extinct. The cause of his
death is ascribed by his physician to
a complication of heart and stomach
trouble.

SHORTAGE OF DOG TEAMS
 REPORTED IN INFERIOR

It is reported from Nome and interior Alaskan camps that dogs will be in big demand &hia winter owing to the number of new campo which are receiving attention from stampeders. The hundred or so animals taken from Meme by Lieut.. Haas, for the French army, has left Nome shy of good dogs, and tha discovery of new beach digginga in the Solomon district combined Witt the rush of prOspectOrs to Dime creek, has caused a real shortage of dogs.
 Present indications are that a heavy travel between Anchorage and Seward and Portage Bay will result from the failure Of the steamers to land their cargoes and will require dog teams fog making fast trips over the divides.

MINE MAY BE CLOSED DOWN

Suit has been filed in the dis trict court by Edmund smith, Geo. c. Treat. and Logan Archibald to secure an accounting from H. E. Ellis as to the amount of gold whicL has been taken from the Cliff mine since he assumed the management of the mine last sumer. It is stat ed in the complaint that $GO,0OO has been taken from the mine and that the plaintiffs, as CO-owners, have received no accounting as to how the money was expended, H. E. Ellis is said to have recovered values to the extent of S35,OOO since beginning work last fall, and that the further sum of $25,OOO has been taken out by J. E. Hughes, holder of a lease on Q part of the Cliff property.
 The complaint also charges that the plaintiffs have been excluded from the property and have been denied the right to investigate the mine
 It will be remembered that the plaintiffs were given a One-fifth interest in the Cliff mine, and ma chinery with which it is equipped, by a recent decision handed down by the district court.
 It is reported that MT. Ellis will close the mine unless an agree ment is reached with his co-partners within the next two days. He is said to have denied that the plain tifts were excluded from the mine or have made any offer to assume their portion of the burden of re- opening the property.
 The closing of the Cliff mine at the present time would be a se- were blow to the business interests of Valdez, as it monthly eXpendi- tures for wages and supplies is said to be close to $S,OOO.
