used in i he construction of several sub
marine boats tor tho Japanese navy
are said to bave pansed through Ever
ett today m flat tare. The shipment
of material for the oonBtructlon of the
boat will likely be shipped to the
Orient from this port. Acoordlng to
the Information" received here today
the cars are the aame that were recent
ly wrecked at Minot, Dakota preteum-
abU by Russian spies.
Inquiry waa made at the Great
Northern wharf and it waa stated that
shipments of steel plate were arriving
daily but that care containing oontra
band cargo for Japiin had not arrived
today. Itia probable that the steel
for boat building will be billed as

Many tons of steel are now being
shipped to Japan for use in repairlig

A Store With
A Record-
. We have been doing busi
ness in this town for 6 ears
Ih that time the town has
nearly doubled in population .
During the same time our
business has increased FIVE FOLD. In other words -our
business has made a great deal more rapid increase
than tbe town has. There are dozens of reasons for tnis
all of which you will perceive, if you begin buying, drug
store goods of us. In the first place we had a thorough
training for pharmacy.. In the second place we bad ex
ceptional opportunities for learning the practical .-.side of
pharmacy in a successful drug store of the highest stand
ing. In the third place we have kept our eyes open and
attended to business until we know the demands of . tho
people of this town,
