Suesine Silk Per Yard 50c I
Come in and see Suesine Silk
IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO ATTRACTIVE THAT NO WOMAN WHO
SEES IT CAN ESCAPE ITS CHARM. THAT IS WHY WE WANT YOU
TO SEE IT.
The minute you glance at Suesine, you will say: "What lovely ma
tirlal for dresses and waists." And you are right. Rich, inexpensive it
is just the fabric for indoors and out; for daytime and evening.
The colors are exquisite ? gorgeous and sparkling, dainty and delicate.
Full 27 inches wide.
Yes, Indeed, Suesine has all the beauty of China Silk ? but wears better
because it Isn't. And Suesine costs about half the price of China Silk,
which means that you can have two dresses of Suesine Silk for the price
you would pay for one of China.
Twelve yards for a dress ? only $6. Think of itl
We have sold ever so many yards of Suesine ? and have never had a sing
le complaint. That/s how good it is!
It is certainly the best and finest and most beautiful silk that we have
ever seen for 50c a yard.
Come in and see Suesine ? please, do.

WOMAN MUSHES 30 MILES
TO GEI HELP FOB HUSBAND
SAND POINT, Dec 15 ? Special cor
respondence ? To obtain food and med
ical aid for her bedridden white hus
band, an Eskimo woman in a deli
cate condition tramped thirty miles
over Ice and through snow, In intens
ely cold weather, on the Bering sea
side of the peninsula. At Hot Springs,
near Port Moller, she found several
hunters, who started Immediately to
the aid of the man. He was dead
when they arrived. His name was
C. K. Smith, and he formerly lived
at Nome or St. Michael.
The courage and devotion of the
woman excited the wonder and ad
miration of the men. The Journey
was made over a rough country, and
in her condition must have been
made with terrible suffering. Her
husband died of a catarrhal affection ;
of the head, apparently. The cabin
was clean and neatly kept, and the
woman had evidently done all she 1
could for her husband and herself
until their food supply was exhausted.
The woman connot speak any Eng
lish and an interpreter had to be
found to learn what she had come
for. She is now being cared for by a
white man named Jones, with an
Eskimo wife. ? Valdez Prospector.

The Tanana Leader says that Fred

It is Mush On's opinion that there

the new camp this winter. Ptarmi
gan and grouse he said are the only
game and are plentiful.
Mush On says that many well
known women who have followed up
the Northern mining excitements are
making "sinkers" for roughnecks In
divers localities. Maud Eearl of Old
Inn fame in the Klondike, Is at Lang
ley, and declared she was playing for
high stakes. Mrs. D. Camp of the
Fairbanks district, is at Otter creek.
Diskaket seems to be the most im
portant trading point in the valley at
present. Cow Miller was freighting
between Diskaket and Ophlr In the
old diggings at $300 a ton. At Dis
kaket it was said the old camp was
s towing up well, especially at Little
creek.

behooves every Elk to get out and
root for the home team.
