When Uncle Sam called 100000 men to
the training camps, and had to fit them with
new shoes so they could walk all day with a
rifle on their shoulder and a 50-pound pack
on their back, he got more knowledge and
experience in fitting shoes in three years than
all the shoe statesmen in the world had accum
ulated in three centuries.
gave up my job as President of this Com
pany and accepted a new position to help
Uncle Sam establish Training Schools for
Officers over here, and over there, to teach
men how to fit shoes in the training camps.
Surveys made in eight camps showed that
Al 1852 out Of 58,706 were fitted from u to 81
sizes short before the Resco Foot Measuring
Machine which invented and presented to
the Government was officially adopted by the
United States Army, September 20, 1918.
Now, what was the trouble, and what is the
answer
The old fashioned method of trying to fit
shoes by measuring the length of one foot
with a size stick when you are sitting down. is
guessing contest from start to finish.
The Foot Rule is no relation to the Size
Stick. | can't find anybody who knows what
the unit of measurement of the size stick
represents. Some say it's a Barleycorn.
If your foot measured size 6 on the size
stick it would measure about 104 inches on
foot rule, and the salesman would tell you
that you should wear anything from to
an 81.
He never attempts to measure the width
of the foot with the old-fashioned size stick
so that's all pure guess.
And furthermore, he only measures one foot,
and every man in the training camps had two
feet, and the right width of both feet is just
as important as the correct length.
We took all the guess out of fitting shoes
for the soldier when we first used the RESCO
Fitting Machine to measure the length and
width Of both feet when he was standing up
with a pack on his back.

| Spent 100000 to take the
Guess, out of Shoe Fitting

When you stand up in this new RESCO
Twin-Foot Fitting Machine, it automatically
and accurately measures the length and width
OF both feet at the same time.
The delicate mechanism is scientifically adj
justed to measure the foot expansion and reg
lister the length and width of the shoe required
to properly fit both stocking feet when the
standing weight" is placed on the sensitive
springs.
Now, just for the fun of it, if you want to
make shoe salesman stutter ask him what
the unit of measurement in the size stick means.
Ask him why he doesn't give you the size
you actually measure on the size stick.
Ask him why he only measures the length of
one foot while you are sitting down, when the
only time you use your feet is when you are
standing up, and then you like to use both feet
Ask him if he knows that the Army Survey
shows that in measuring both feet, in 500 Of
the cases the left foot is larger than the right
and 400 of the measurements show the right
foot is larger than the left.
Ask him if it wouldn't be more sensible to
measure the length and width of both feet
while you are standing up, before he starts to
jump up ladder to get size he guesses
might fit one foot.
l couldn't get a satisfactory answer to any
of these questions, that's why l have spent
the last five years in improving the machine
that l designed for the Army to take the
guess out of fitting your feet.
The RESCO Shoe Fitting System is now in
stalled in every Regal Shoe Store from Coast
to Coast, and if you would like to know the
correct length and width of both feet under
the weight of the body, you are cordially in
vited to come into any Regal Store at any
time, without any obligation to purchase.

The growing opposition tc the lands bureau, for which the government has been St, verely criticized, is the fault o1 Congress and not the lands bureau, was the assertion ot Senator Robert N. Stanfield, of Oregon, at a meeting of the Senate subcommittee of the public lands and grazing con- ference recently held in Se- attle. Charges against the For est Service for it's policies. which he declared materially retarded the development of Alaska, were made by Falcon Joslin in presenting a resolut- ion asking for the abolishment of the land office and the turn ing over of the federal lanos to the States, and limiting the jurisdiction of the Forest Ser vice. Senator Dill said, q think there is little chance of such legislation passing Con- gress, but there ought to be something done to relieve the situation in Alaska. Under the present system people are be- ing driven out of Alaska"

J. H. Hewitt, co-owner with
 Chas. Carlson in the Home stake and Ibex properties on Texas Creek, returned last week from a business trip to Seattle and other coast and northwestern points.
 MT. Hewitt states that the re- turns from the shipment of Homestake group ore, sent to the Selby smelter last month are still unknown. The ore did not reach the smelter un- til a considerable time after it's dispatch from Hyder and the returns have not been re- ceived.
 During the course of his trip MT. Hewitt visited Wallace, Idaho, and found that the min- ing men of that locality are in- clined to listen attentively to the lead development possi- bilities of this section, owing to the growing scarcity of that metal. All of which inclines him to the view that the Tex as Creek area, with its marvel ous dissemination of silver. lead ores, may shortly become the object of their investigat- ions. During his stay in Wal lace MT. Hewitt encountered Harry Marsh, Day brothers engineer, who visited this section some time ago, and was informed that MT. Marsh contemplated another visit to this section next summer. All of which is slightly suggestive, in view of MT. Marsh's previ- ous attitude.

CHANGE IN L & L
 MANAGEMENT

Wm. Irwin, lately in charge of operations on the Bayview properties, has succeeded J. Frank Breeze in the manage ment of the L & L operations on Glacier Creek, according to announcements made in Stew art during the week
 The retirement of MT. Breeze was unexpected as he has made a highly creditable rec. ord during the several year. in which he has been charge of development on the l. 6 L Under his management thG property has been lifted from the status of 9 mere prospec, to that of a producing mine :; which presents every aspect of ultimately becoming a source of large ore production. During the past three months the prop, erty has shipped more than 50 tons of high grade ore val, ued in the neighborhood ot $15,000 and has maintained an average production of close to a ton a day during most o1 the period of commercial op. eration.

ENGINEER IN CHARGE
 OF DUNWELL

Matthew Little, M. E. we'll known Canadian mining en- gineer, has been selected by the board of directors of the Dunwell company to handle future development on the company properties on Glaciei Creek, according to announce ments made in Stewart la3L week. MT. Little has alreaoy taken over the direction of af- fairs at the mine. The company is reported adequately finan.
 ed to carry on until the prop erty reaches a producing basis, all but about 24,000 shares of the recent $350,O00 issue of new shares having been taken up by the former stock owners. It is expected that the remain der of the issue will be suO- scribed within a brief seasc-. if not alreody sold to British shareholders who have not been heard from. Should this prove to be the case, the com pany will have $350,000 in available capital for meeting the cost of contemplated de- yelopment operations during the winter and for the instal- lation of tram and milling equipment next summer. The winter operations will, be di- rected largely to the extension of present workings to tap tiie as yet unexplored ore bodies known to exist on the property, including the high grade vain located last spring and to plae- ing the mine in shape for act i've production next summer.

PREMIER POWER PLANT
 MACHINERY ARRIVES

A big consignment of ma chinery for the new powel plant of the Premier Gold Min ing Company arrived on the steamer Amur Monday and is now being transported to the site of the plant at 13 Mile. The equipment includes the two huge 360 horsepower Diesel engines which will be- come the chief power units and practically double the present power capacity for mine and mill. Some idea of the size of the new engines may be gained from the stat. ment that the bases alone weigh twelve tons each. The total weight of the machinery consignment was $50 tons.

w. Norrie Lowenthal, in charge of the Silver Standard operations at Hazelton, B. c. for years, arrived in camp last week to look the country over generally and also inspect the Bayview properties in the low CT Bear River section
 MT. Lowenthals visit may be said to be pregnant with passi- bilities for the future of that we'll known property, as he is representing the Porcupine Gold Mines Co.,, recently brought into prominence To- cally as a result of a reported offer by that company to take over the entire new $350. 900 stock issue of the Dunwell company.

SUPPLIES FOR
 BIG MISSOURI

A consignment of thirty tons of supplies for winter use on the Big Missouri arrived on the Cardena and is now being taken to the property by what ss said to be the largest pack train ever assembled in the dis krict, employing a total of forty head of stock. The work is be- ing done by the McGrew and Crawford transfer concerns, who are employing practically every available horse in the district. The big supply ship anent was forwarded by man. ager Pat Daly, who is now in the south, arranging for win- ter operations.
 Operations on the Big Mis- souri are at present confined entirely to surface work, un- derground work having been suspended until such time as winter preparations are com pleted The compressor house is nearly completed, according to the latest reports, and the machinery is being assembled. MT. Daly has planned we'll and is taking no chances of having winter operations curtailed by failure to make adequate prep arations for meeting winter conditions.
 Harry Townsend , consulting engineer for the Standard Mines Corporation, is expected to pay his first visit to the property during the present week. MT. Townsend has been in the Cassiar all summer in connection with the company's dredging operations on Nc Dame Creek, but is now either in Ketchikan or at some other point on the coast enroute to Hyder.

INDIAN MINE TO
 START SHIPPING

The Indian mine, will resume activities within brief season and will join the list of local producers during the coming winter, according to Manager J. Fred Ritchie, who returned from the south a few days ago.
 Mir. Ritchie stated that the company plans to make month ly ore shipments of 150 tons or more during the winter peri cd. The first of the contempat- ed shipments will go forward as soon as as practicable after work is resumed. The contract for hauling the ore from the mine to tide-water has been let to the Crawford Transfer, of Stewart.
 The mine has now been devel- oped to the point where it's production possibilities can be determined with reasonable certainty. Over mile of un- derground work has been done, in addition to several thousand feet, of drilling. Work done during the past year has disclosed not only ex- tensive resources of shipping grade ore but has removed all uncertainty regarding the fut- ure of the property as a source of wealth production. Between 80 and 90 tons of ore were broken down and sent to the smelter last spring, so the man. agement can clearly foresee the results of operation for a considerable distance ahead.
