One Thing We Distinctly Aim at
in This Business
Is that every man who
knows us or read our
ads. will know that
this is the store for
quality in clothing.
We would rather be
kuown as the right
place for good stuff
than as a place where
you get low prices.
It is always easy to
juute prices but it is
what the prices buy
that counts.
We sell
Hart Schaffner &
Marx and David
Adler & Sons
Clothing and we want
you to know it. We
cannot give you any
better evidence of our
standard qualities than
that they are the best
made.

Sitka. Aug. 24 ? Yesterday afternoon a large steamer
schooner was observed by a Revenue Cutter otf the coast of
Killisnoo. The steamer wa> w:?ti-lie?i by the futter ami
manoeuvering for a short time a boat was put off from
the strange vessel and a number of men got in and made for
the shore. At this moment the Revenue Cutter made for
the scene. W hen the men in the schooner saw the cutter
several row boats which were being gott n ready to swing
overboard were hauled up and efforts were made to conceal
them. The men who had gotten almost t?i shore in the first
boat were overtaken and forced hack into the ves<el. Af
terwards all of the crew were examined b\ the United
States officers. They claimed the\ ha i-teniied iroing
on shore b? make presents to the Iudian> The boat and
men weretakeu to Sitka and will be held here until advices
are received from Washington as to what disposition should
be made ot them. From an examination of the vessel it
seems certain that the men were engaged in making a chart
of the eastern coast of Alaska and that they are more than
likely connected with the Japanese nav\.
