PROMINENT MEN
TO ADDRESS BUYERS

Men of national reputation will adj
dress South Texas merchants at the
San Antonio style show, the first week
in February during the trade season.
according to G. G. Wolfe. secretary OF
the trade extension department Of the
San Antonio Chamber of Commerce.
Plans for the style show are going
forward rapidly, Mr.. Wolfe stated
Monday.
Mr.. Wolfe is in correspondence with
a research man of the United States
Department Of Commerce, John Gar
yer, OF Carver Bros. Co., the largest
small town store in America; X. b.
Schreffler. retail business manager. OF
Chicngo; DIR. W. J. Hindley, education
director of Washington State Retail
ers Association, and Fred Mann. OF
Devils Lake, 5. D., relative to getting
them to speak at the style show.
"One of the main purposes Of the
show will be to show South Texas
merchants the possibilities for greater
business, and the actual trend of bust
ness, as compared with the past anC
present. Mr.. Wolfe said.

FRENCH MASSES TURN
MARTEN FUR COATS
By c. F. BERTELLI
Universal Service Staff Correspondent.

this fur situation is that while over
$1,000 must be paid for the usual
martens, other coats Of costly pelts
are apparently drags on the Paris
market.
Six thousand dollars will buy n
most magnificent sable, while one Of
the handsomest chinchilla coats ever
saw here was offered me this week
for $1,000. True, these coats come
from the Russian nobility, and do
not bear fashionable dealers names
but what furs they are.
AMERICANS GONE.
Such bargain prices are clear in
dications that Paris is now practi-
cally deserted by Americans, and
incidentally that the French rather
than the American women are led
by the herd instinct which this year
imposes fancy furs instead of the rarer
and unquestionably more beautiful
sable and chinchilla on their shoulders.
Light colored coats of pony deer,
wildcat grey, grey-spotted seal, Loop
ard and other fancy furs are also
freely used. The Riviera season,
however. will see plenty of precious
! skins back in style.

sst nonferrous smeter In the world was a lob fit
to test the mette of the best kind of railroad that
could be built
Such railroad Is the Butte Anaconda & Pa
cific of today which starts from the Butte Hill at
an elevation OF $500 feet, drops to $3.50 near
Gregson Springs. 10 miles from Butte and again
climbs to 5,740 feet in the smelter yards at Ana
conda where some $50 bottom-dump cars dis
gorge from 10000 to $4,000 tons OF ore per day
into the gigantic hoppers Of the reduction works
During Its return climb from the Rocker to the
Butte hill, distance of four miles, the engines
buck rs per cent grade, rising 523 feet In the
four miles
When Marcus DAILY built the Anaconda works,
the Montana Union Railroad had the monopoly
on the hauling of ore from mines to smelter. Dull
times coming on and the business being unable
to stand the heavy freight charges Mr. DAILY ap-
pealed 10 the management for reduction. This
the railroad refused although II lis said that
difference OF only rs cents per Ton stood In the
way Of an amcable settlement
With his characteristic determination not to
be baked Mr. DAILY proceeded 10 build his own
railroad, In order that reduced freight costs
might keep more men employed during the slack
times
his hardrock miners into graders. track-layers,
culvert and bridge builders, and pushed the road
to swift completion. BY the time the road was
built industrial conditions had improved, the mines
were reopened, the smelter resumed operations
and hundreds Of workmen, who otherwise would
have been unemployed, had been maintained at
galnful occupation.
