We could make clothes
^ 7 expressly for you here at home, but
a l?cal tailor shop today is impractical
and unprofitable.
It has no labor market from which to secure
desirable cutters and tailors ?
It cannot afford to install a modern plant
designed to reduce cost of production ?

It doesn't do sufficient business to enable it
to buy woolens direct from the mills ?
It cannot keep abreast of metropolitan styles
and workmanship.
Therefore, we send our orders
for fine made-to-measure clothes to

We can take your measure the

here, and furnish you your clothes,

day evening by a number of merry
makers as they were about to go on
board a launch, when the tiny colt
belonging to one of the horses of
the Dewey buss took a head-long
plunge from the dock down into the
cold waters below, a distance of abo.i
thirty feet.
The little animal was game, how
ever, and upon coming to thb surface
I struck out for shore. Being sotne
| what rattled by the long drop, and
! the shock of the plunge into the cold
water must have stunned the little
horse, for it first took out to sea be
! fore it got its bearings.
j Then It laid Its course for shore
and soon scrambled safely on the
, tide flats.

US FUTURE KSTS
UPON IIS HUE
"I'm not afraid of newspaper men,"
said George \V. Perkins, the New
York millionaire and financier who is
the right hand man of J. Pierpont
Morgan, speaking to the representa
tive of The Alaskan last Wednesday
evening in reply to a facetious warn
ing of the introducer. "I have found
that newspaper men usually play fair,
continued Mr. Perkins, "and in seek
ing news they are doing something
that is perfectly legitimate. The
newspapers are a big factor in mod- :
em life and the man who realizes till
and takes the papers into his confid
ence is wise. Public men who deal
with the press realize this."
"No. I have never been to Alaska
before," continued Mr. Perkins in re-|
ply to an interrogation, "and I am ;
certainly surprised and delighted J
with tiie country. The climate and
scenery are both wonderful. Of
course so far 1 have just been touch
ing the edges of tilings, but there is
no doubt the country has wonderful
resources in mines, timber and fish.
"Hut, after all, the final future of
the country will depend upon whether
or not the agricultural resources are
sufficient to support a permanent pop
ulation. No country can grow or de
velop without agrii^iture. Whether
Alaska can support people by the
%
products of her soil remains to be
seen. The climate in Southeastern
Alaska seems to be mild enough, but
there does not seem to be much land
capable of cultivation. In the interior
where there is more land the climate
Is. more severe. Still, the people of
the Scandinavian Peninsula, live off
the soil and I believe that Alaska is
capable of the same agricultural de
velopment. I understand the govern
ment experimental stations are doing
good work in this line.
"I am going to Cordova and look
over the coal and copper mines at
the terminus of the Copper River rail
road. President Eccles of the road
will meet me there and if the coal ;
fields are what I believe them to be
they will supply the future fu^-1 for
all the Pacific coast. The action of
the government in holding up the pat
ents on these lands is hurting us and
burling all the miners. I have heard
protests against tills all the way up
the coast.
"By two years we will be shipping
out large quantities of ore and copper
fr<Jm the country back of Cordova.
We have satisfied ourselves that both
coal and copper can be handled at a
profit.
" Will there be a smelter at
Cordova?
"Well, I can't say as to that. Pro
bably in the long run it might prove
cheaper to have the ore smelted at
Cordova. Nothing has been decided
about that as yet.
"The panic In the States hurt Al
aska, but industrial conditions are
gradually regaining their normal basis
and that will greatly assist the de
velopment of the north. We have
needed all our money, however, since
the fall of 1907. The country is just
getting Its stride again. Alaska will
soon feel better times."
Mr. Perkins is an unostentatious
man with a sincere and direct manner
In dress, manners and speech he is
democratic. He has a keen grey eye,
the decisive mouth and reliant chin
of a man of action. He is known
along Wall street as one of the cool
est financiers in the game and J. Pier
pont Morgan seldom takes a step
without consulting ? him. Just what
significance Mr. Perkin's trip to
Alaska will have remains to be seen,
although Mr. Perkins states that he
is "just looking things over."
