A New Department.

The Fearnside Clothing Company
has decided to inauguratc a new de-
partment in the big store "where
fashion originates" 1t is to la
dies shoe department. The goods for
this new feature in the big stores
business have been purchased and it
is expected that the department will
be ready for opening somewhere about
the Goth of next month.
In speaking of the new venture
Mr.. Fearnside said:
"There is an unquestioned demand
in the present day Palatka for a store
to handle high class ladies' shoes;
this is a condition we have known for
some time and one we have long had
in mind to remedy. 1t was only re-
Gently however that we made up our
minds to make it part of our already
big business. We have always car
ried the best makes of mems shoes
and therefore the new venture is not
much of an innovation. The east
front of the store will be fitted out
in becoming manner with rugs 9nd
settecs and by the latter part of No
vember the stock will be here. We
shall devote ourselves only to high
class ladies' shoes, and will have the
products of the leading manufactur-
ers in that line. one Of which will be
the celebrated Hanan & Sons make.
When our store opens there will be
no further need for Palatka ladies to
send outside for high grade footwear. "

G0F BRADY IS BACK IN NORTH
 TO STAY HERB
Remains a Great Booster for Alaska-Told the
 Seattle Business
 Men Some Facts
ALASKA FOR THE U. s.

Ex-Governor John G. Brady, who has made ohly one visit to Alaska in the last six years. but who is an inveterate booster for this Territory and who has always considered him self an Alaskan first and an Amerl- can afterwards, has returned and Is guest at the home Of Mir. and Mrs. B. Nj. Behrends, where he will re- main for several days before leaving for Sitka. Mrs. Brady and daugh- ter Miss Mary Brady are with him.
 Governor Brady, as he is effec- was the chief excutlve of this Terri tlonateiy known to his many friends tory from 1897 10 19Og continuous ly and is known in all parts of Alaska by thousands of the residents of the Territory. Governor Brady and family are returning to Sitka where they will locate. after hav- ing travelled over & large part of the world since leaving Alaska six years ago.
 During that time Miss Brady has been attending school in the east and recently graduated from Vassar College.
 While in Seattle recently Governor Brady in an interview to the press issued a warning to the business men there against the loss of busl- ness which they will suffer on ac. count of the Canadian campaign for the business of Alaska
 Governor Brady said in part at that time:
 canadian merchants are planning a concerted campaign for the ac- qulsition of che Alaskan trade" de- clared cx-Gov. Brady last night This is not an imaginative theory, but a fact. Already Seattle Is feeling the effects of the Canadian lnroads into the fisheries business but this is only a starter to what is to come. Prince Rupert is to be the Canadian base for operations, and it will not be long before the campaign for the Alaska trade will be iuaugurated on an extensive oasis from that point It is up to the American mercantile interests to awaken to this situation and plan to combat the Canadian inroads
 Alaska is primarily a part of the United States, and it is therefore imperative that the vast business of that growing Territory be retained by this country Canadian enter prise however, is likely to make ser lous inroads unless immediate action is taken towards safeguarding and retaining this vast commercial busi- ness.

HUGE SUM EXPENDED FOR
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY

Montana has spent approximately
100000 in the presidential primary
election, the first ever held in Montana,
and of this amount Silver Bow county
expended about SIS, 1000. AS only 1000
votes were cast in this county each vote
cost the county about So. rs. AS all the
states do not have primary law, Mon
tana's delegates to the republican and
democratic conventions go into con-
vention which can override such a
small delegation as Montana is entitled
to.
The primary law makes provision for
eecting delegates to the national con-
ventions of ali parties, electing electors
to go on the different party tickets and
expression of preference of voter of
each party for president and vice presi-
dent. The election held Friday result
ed in preference for Cummins for the
republicans and Wilson for the demo-
Gratis. The delegates, therefore are ex-
pected to vote for these candidates on
the first ballot. However, if Cummins
should not be elected on the first ballot
the Montana delegation can switch to
Roosevelt, and the big expense that
the voters of Montana were put to, so
that quarter of the voters might ex-
press their preference, has been spent
for nothing. E. O. Selway, chairman
of the republican state committee, who
is one of the republican delegates, says
that every man on the Montana della
cation will stand by Cummins as long
as he has chance to get the nomina-
ton. Joe Dixon, who is one of the
delegates, however, announced that a
vote for him was a vote for Roosevelt
and he is to go along with Selway, and
the former manager of Roosevelt's cam
paign is expected to use his influence
with the Montana delegation after the
first ballot. Dixon can vote for Roose-
Welt on the first ballot. However,
politicians pointed out yesterday that
whatever action the Roosevelt faction
in the delegation may take, the voice
of the Montana delegation in the con-
vention will hardly be worth the $780,
900 expended in the election.
81 think the first presidential primary
has Illustrated its folly" said Dave
Kehoe, county clerk and recorder.
1.-The people wanted it and certain re-
formers demanded it, and now the state
must pay 100000 for nothing. The
delegations are not bound to vote for

States of America in Congress assem-
bled, That in all cases where lands
within tbs former Flathead Indian res
ervation which were classified and ap-
praised during the years 1912 and 1913
by the commission appointed for that
purpose under authority of the Act of
June 35th, 1910, have been appraised
at an amount in excess of the amount
at which similar lands were appraised
by the Flathead commission of 1907 and
1908, persons who between August rs,
1915, and June Ia. 1911, settled upon or
between said dates filed applications to
enter, such lands, and which applca-
tions have been or may hereafter be
allowed, shall not hereafter be required
to pay more for the lands so settled
upon or entered by them than the high
est amount specified by the F'lathead
commission of 1907 and 1908 for lands
of like character and similar clasSln-
cation.
Sec. 2. That in all cases where
patents shall be issued for land paid for
under the foregoing sections of this Act
there shall be transferred, from any
funds belonging to the United States
not otherwise appropriated, to the
credit of the Indians for whose benefit
such lands are disposed of, such an
rmount as shall equal the difference be-
tween the amount so paid under said
sections and the amount at which the
lands so paid for have been appraised
or reappraised by the commission of
1912 and 1913.

Myers Bill Passes

Senator Myers again demonstrated
last Thursday that he is always on the
Job in the interests of the Flathead
homesteaders. His bill to adjust the
appraisements of lands sold to the
settlers on the Flathead reservation so
that the prices shall not exceed 81 per
acre, passed the senate on that day.
The difference between the original and
final appraisment will be raid to the
Indians by the government, but in no
case shall the settler be compelled to
pay more than 81 per acre. Senator
Myers has had this bill before the Ser
ate for some time and by hard and con-
sistent efforts finally succeeded in it's
passage.
The bill now goes to the house where
it will be up to Congressman Evans
and Stout to get it through. The bill
is as follows:

first ballot, and. as our delegations go
into convention where sit delegations
elected by conventions, they will have
little influence. Yet the state spent a
huge sum for the election"
Mr. Kehoe said there was a notice.
able lack of interest all over the state
in the presidential primary and the
light vote cast in Butte was reflected
all over the state. Where voting places
were not convenient the ranchers did not
make any effort to VOTE An ilustra-
ton of the difficulty in holding such an
election in Montana is found in the eX-
perience of western county. A guide
with snowshoes and pack on his back
carried the ballots for the primary
from Missoula to Corlett and Sunset,
villages far up the valley from Missoula
and just over the divide, in the country
traversed by railroad survey. No
wagon or automobile had been through
that country since snow fell last fall.
Yet after the work and expense neces-
airy to provide the ballots the vote was
less than Is per cent.
Another angle to the primary election
is the fact that although the law pro-
vides that the state shall meet the ex-
penses Of the delegates to the national
convention there is no appropriation
for that item.
Although the state spent $780, 900 to
do away with the convention SYSTEM
of choosing presidential candidate the
same situation as arose four years ago
under the convention system of electing
delegates from Montana can occur
this year. Four years ago Montana sent
its delegates to the national democratic
convention instructed for Champ Clark.
The delegates voted for Clark and then
switched to Wilson. This year the
republican delegates can switch from
Cummins to Roosevelt, or any one else.
