LEATHER SHOES MAY BECOME
 A LUXURY OF THE PAST

John F. Stucke, vice president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Italy and general manager of an American shoe machinery company, IS quoted in a Rome news dispatch as saying that "a barefooted Europe is not improbable if this war con tinues" The statement was made III an interview concerning supply and business conditions met by Americans abroad.
 At the present time a pair of mountain shoes lasts a soldier but six weeks" con- tinued Mir Stucke. These shoes have their heels and soles studded with nails at that The shoes are largely made in Italy, but with American machinery and American leather and the quality of the material is the best we can furnish but that quality is of course inferior to that sold before the war When manufactured by the hundred thousand these shoes cost the government about $4 each. But the supply is always behind the demand, since materials arrive very slowly from America. On one ship the Palermo, which was torpedoed in the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain, in early December the material for nearly half a million pairs of shoes was lost.
 "The retail store trade in Italy is now obliged to pay nearly S7 wholesale for shoes that before the war cost $3.50, and it is probable that American shoes will be sell ing in Italy soon for $l0 and SIP per pair The American shoes, because of their shape and ft have long been the chief product on the market here, and particularly since the war, as the handmade shoe cannot be made auickly enoughn

WORLD-FAMOUS HUNTER
 WAS KNOWN IN DAWSON

Captain Frederick Courtenay Selous. who was killed recently in South Africa, where he was an officer in the British forces op- erating against the Germans, was ID Yukon territory in 1908 and visited Dawson, says the News of that city. He hunted caribou, mountain sheep and moose on the Pelly river and in the Ogilvie range, northeast of Dawson. Charley Gage, one of the veteran White Pass stage drivers. was on the trip with Selous thet summer as one of the guides, and recalls with pleasure his as sociatons with the famous hunter.
 ">elous," says Gage, Was delighted with this country as field for hunting big game and he took out some splendid specl- mems of heads and horns of moose, cari- nou and mountain sheep, He always was careful not to slaughter any game animals wantonly or needlessly, and when he did kill one he saw that the meat was con sumed by his own party or given to miners, trappers or others in the vicinity, who al wavs were glad 10 get 1t and keep 1t for food for themselves and dogs.
 Many g night Seious would regale us with tales of his exciting adventures. He told of having killed many lions. tigers and
Iditarod pioneer., 1917-06-02

elephants He considered the tiger far more dangerous brute to kill than the lion, and told of a number of the beasts that had fallen beneath his aim. He had com paratively few tiger scalp to his score as compared to the number of lion trophies
 "In camp Captain Selous was the best of company He had travelled so much in the open tha, he knew exactly how to make the most of camp life and how to conduct matters SO that all members of the party would be on the best of terms.
 He carried when here one of the finest hunting guns ever made. It had been made to order according to his own sug gestions, and was the product of one of the big firearms companies. It was so con structed that it was adaptable to shooting anything from a humming bird to an ele- phant or a tiger. The breach was large and the chamber at the butt of the barrel so arranged that various sized false cores could be inserted. thus adapting the breach to the accommodation of any size of rifle or shotgun she'll It was a great all-round weapon for meeting any of the game family and Selous knew how to use it and when

 TOL0VkNA COUNTRY

Without wishing to detract from any Of the other towns in Alaska, and not aS a knock to other camps that are struggling along under difficulties Dave Dunbar of fers the opinion that the Toovana district is the best in all Alaska today says the Fairbanks News Miner of March 23 He has just returned from business trip to that town and he reports that it is re- markable the amount of business that is being done and the amount that is antlci- pated for the summer. Everybody is work ing; there is plenty of money in clrcula- ton, and nothing but optimism IS to be found
 There seems little doubt in the minds of anyone, he says, that the output there this summer will be practically twice as large as last year, and will make it well over a million.

Reduction In Price
VIII Save Potato Crop

Chicago, Nov. 13.-The Armour Grain
company today declared that only the
reduction Of potatoes to fifty cents a
bushel will prevent fully 100,000,00O
bushels of the new crop from rotting or
being fed to livestock.
"If consumers could buy them at
fifty cents a bushel nearly all of the
immense crop would be consumed, MAX
ing a great saving in wheat and other
foods, on which the government is econ
omizing," declared statement by the
Armour concern.
''But consumers are paying around
81 40 a bushel and are, therefore, using
them very sparingly.
"The government estimated the po-
tato crop on farms at 154,000,000
bushels more than last year and that,
added to the big "war garden crop
makes very large amount over last
years supply.
"The food administration has an

Livingston of Wisconsin as potato
