About 500 brand new Suits
have just come from our fac
tory.
To be able to sell such suits
as these at $500, would be an
achievement at any time.
To be able to sell them I'M
der present clothing conditions
falls little short of attaining the
impossible. 1t would be abso-
lutely impossible, were it not
for our own factory. which
eliminates the middleman's pro-
fl from our prices.
All the preparation in the
world, all the buying of woolens
ahead Of time-all the shaving Of
profits, wouldn't enable any
store to sell such suits at SIS il
that store had to buy its mer-
chandise in the open market and
pay middleman's profit.
It's our saving of the middle
mans profit, combined with our
advance preparation, that en-
ables US to provide these great
values for $50.
And we've provided them in a
variety of models, patterns and
color effects, which is in itself
remarkable.
He will be a harder-to-please
man or young man than we have
ever met, who fails to find a
completely satisfying suit among
this extensive assortment.
Not all our good values arc
confined to our $500 suits.
There's a mighty good choos-
ing OF suits at other prices

FIERCE MAY SNOWSTORM
 CAUSES KiVEk 10 RISE

The heaviest fall of snow of the season was what the reSluentS Ot ldll arOd anu. vicinity were treated to on Sunday last, just one month prior to the longest day of the year While the snow did not long remain on the ground, 1t had the effect ol causing near flood conditions and for d time 1t looked as though there were to be a repetition of the extremely high water of two years ago.
 Rain commenced to fall on Saturday even ing last, and before morning 1t had turneU into snow The storm continued through out the day, and until Monday morning. when the sun came out and the wlntry landscape was soon transformed into some thing more resembling spring. By Tuesday afternoon there WAS little to indicate that there had been several inches of the beau tfuI' on the ground but a few hours pre- viou>Iy
 The melting of the snow caused a rapid rise in the river and the small creeks run ming into the Idtarod in and near the city were soon overhowing their banks
 So far as known but little damage was caused by the sudden rise of the river. r. was reported that boom of cordwood or Otter creek had burst and the wood had been hoated down the river, but this seems to have been an erroneous report.

ALCOHOL AS A POISON

It required long time to make men reaAze that the use of hablt-formlEg drugs was dangerous. Now their use IS prohibited except for medica! purposes.
 IL would be regarded as foolish argu- ment that everybody should be permitted to use any kind of drugs in any quantity, be cause any restriction placed upon such use was an infringement upon ones personal liberty.
 And yet the use of these drugs, under cer tain conditions, IS considered beneficial.
 Taken under these conditions, they may bring great relief, But men have discov- cred that even the moderate use of drugs is a most dangerous proceeding, and so their use has been cut off entirely except, as stated, when used under the immediate dl- rection of qualified physician.
 The same position will undoubtedly be taken by the state with regard to the use of alcohol when 1t has been clearly proven to those who make our laws that alcohol is a poison, and that it must be handled like all other pOisons,
 The fact that the moderate use of alcohol does not appear to inJure some persons will not stand as an argument against the adOp- ton of a law against its general use, when the general effect of alcohol has been shown
 Every progressive movement movement that has been worth while has been opposed by thoroughly conscien- tuios persons. It would be strange if the movement against the general use of alcohol were not to meet with opposition from the same source.
 That some good people are in favor of alcohol and the saloon does not prove that alcohol and the saloons are good-it sim ply proves that some good people may sometimes be mistaken Charles Sickle in the National Daily.

STRANGE STORY OF WAR
 WHICH COMES FROM FRANCE

A remarkable story of intense human in tereSt is told by the Paris corresoondent of the Dagens Ryheter of Stockholm. A Paris, received the following brief, pathetic letter from the captain of a French com- pany telling of the death of her son
 "Your son died like a hero, and that cer- tainly should mitigate your grief. He was a brave French soldier, always in good hu- nor, overAowing with enthusiasm and full of energy Unfortunately we have been as yet unable to give him burial as his body lies now where it is dangerous to reach him. but rest assured, madam our entire company will at the first opportunity ar range for his funeral and kneel down be- side the grave of your dear son and offer our prayers to heaven for him"
 This letter came to the mother some time ago She continued working in her kitchen as usual from o'clock in the morning until 10 at night. On Sundays she ate in the dining room, dressed in deep mourning. She spoke of nothing but her son. Recently at breakfast she appeared in her every day dress and surprised everybody because of her good humor. She announced that she had received letter from her son, and placed the letter on the dining room table
 There was intense surprise. Was the news of her sons death mistake? Was he really alive?
 This IS letter from my new son" she replied, smilingly Just read his charming letter, gentlemen 1 am anxious to see what he is like, whether blond or brunette tai or short, and he asks whether he can call me mother
 It developed that this French mother did as thousands of other mothers in France have done who have lost their only sons in the war She went to one of the many bureaus and asked that she be provided with another son, and then, as in lottery she blindly selected one from long list of young soldiers who have no relatives sol diers who never receive letters or presents from home She knew nothing more about him than that he was a French soldier, alone in the world That was all she cared to know-be he educated or illiterate it did not matter.
 She at once sent him socks, underwear handkerchiefs and neckties, telling him that he now had home where a warm meal and a comfortable bed always awaited hlm. She wrote him every detail of her life, told all about her husband, her nieces and her ia vorite cat also about her dog, who was l2 years old and whose teeth were falling out, She assured him that when "Grandfather" Joffre grants him leave he would not have to walk homeless in the streets Of Paris. Should he be wounded he had a mother now who would nurse him.
 And the smiling woman read the letter she had received from her son, filled with thanks for the things she had sent him the tobacco, the socks, the underwear, the handkerchiefs and the neckties and he closed his letter with the following words ::
 Mother, rest assured that l will do every thing in my power to be worthy of you as a n."-St Louis Globe Democrat

coast. So declared Kenneth C. Kerr editor of Railway X Marine News, in an address before the Seattle Real Estate Association. and reported in the Seattle Times.
 Mir. Kerr predicted great future for Seattle as South American trade is built up and trade recently opened with Asatic Russia is retained He declared that there Is distinct md vital connection between commerce and real estate
 "Outside of shipping and commercial cir cles, said Kerr, flew realize what really great influence upon the general conner cial activity of any city Is that created by its shipping, Offhand person might say there is no connecting link between real estate and ships, but it will be my effort to endeayor to show not only that there is a very strong connecting link, but that the maritime commerce of Puget sound can be classed as one of the greatest founda ton stones of this splendid city on Elliott bay.
 Surely every Seattle man present will agree with me that the coming to this port of the good ship Portland with it's valuable consignment of gold, Was a turning point ill SeattIeS commercial life, and ever since taht time Alaska has fulfilled every promise made until today her commerce, which is largely in the hands of the city of Seattle. Is reaching figures little dreamed of in the past figures that will mean gross total valuation for this year of $1OO,OOO,OOO"
 The speaker traced the development of American trade and commerce, both rail and steamship leading up to his references to the local situation Speaking directly of Seattle's commerce he pointed out that to- day the United States customs district of Puget Sound is second only to the district of New York in the number of documented vessels and sailors handled, that in foreign import it occupies third place and in for eign eXports ninth place

German aviat0rS gave the range to the big gun, French aviatorS watched them end gave the range to the allied artillery. We photographed the position from several thousand feet up, and from this photo marked on our large scale artillery maps the exact point of the shells departure
 "The captain, young, clean-cut, wearing monocle his reddish mustache cut Amerl- can fashion, opened an album such as you probably have at home. Turning few pages, he stopped at one he said was the Dunkirk cannon. Small, but distinct, the cannon could be seen in a circle of Whltish- gray-the cement base. Leading tip to 1t was a double thread-the tramway over which the mammoth shells were hauled. Near by was highway; elsewhere darkish fields beets, probably.
 "'All that remained continued the boy ish captain, was to spike the enemys hOwitzer This was done systematically. The Germans say we waste ammunition, but the silancing of this piece refutes that. We photographed the position after each shot Look at those photos.'
 Turning the pictures slowly, one could see the spots, representing holes dug by the
 
 getting closer to the target. It was like the pit and the pendulum all over again. The German gunners must have seen death draw ing closer and closer but there was nothing for them to do. The shells were closing in rapidly, and their howltzer was too big to be unbolted from the cement and hauled about.
 "'Whcn we had given approximately the proper range by the aid of our photos, the officer said, we overhew the gun and gave directions by wireless and got the gun The last photograph showed veritable pit about the German piece. It must have been hit repeatedly The captain did not say so but his work was done under not fire from anti-aircraft guns below, and while fighting air duels with German aeroplanes sent up , against him.

Mrs. Clara Nelson Costar, wife of Garri- son Costar, assistant local manager of the Yukon Gold Company died at her home on Flat creek on Saturday morning, May 20, shortly before noon. Death was due to typhoid fever, and acute nephritis is given as a contrlbutory cause.
 The news of Mrs Costars death caused profound sorrow throughout the district. She had been i'll for some weeks and while it had been realized for some time that there was little chance for her recovery, rally.

HOW THEY LOST BIG GUN
 WHICH FORWARDED DUNKIRK

A correspondent of the United Press with the French army in Champagne gave the following account of the destruction of the big gun which was so long menace to Dunkirk last year:
 "1he aviator who discovered the big 3SO- mil1neter gun which bombarded Dunkirk told me how he did it. He Is a French captain but beyond that the censor con- mands silence.
 "I was flying in Flanders he said, when Dunkirk underwent her first bombardment. It seemed that the big shells must come from warships at sea, but as you know, they were fired from point in Belgium some two miles back of the German lines, or about twenty miles.
