And completes a quarter of a century of our annual great bargain offerings. So well known and popular is this custom of ours that the season is looked for
ward to by scores of provident buyers, whose forethought in waiting for this season to provide themselves with staple articles saves them many dollars. It is
the season when small sums count large at our store, where telling values predominate and modest purses can buy you rich. This is the season to replenish
your stock of fine table and household linens; this is the season to get your white goods, embroideries and laces for making up Summer underwear, or if you do
not care to bother with sewing, this is the season when you can get telling values in the daintiest and most satisfactory of undermuslins. This is the season
when it will pay you to lay in your stock of Winter underwear if you are supplied for this one. This is the season when you can secure the loveliest of lace cur
tains and all the other kinds of draperies, at prices you never dreamed of. You can supply yourself with big and little kitchen conveniences of all sorts and
furnish your table with fine and pretty dishes for money you will never miss. It is the season when you feel certain you can afford what you want, for it is the
season when at our store price steps into the background, and values and qualities are given extraordinary prominence.
As stated before, this is our Great Quaternary Sale, it rounds out a quarter of a century of these successful sales of ours, and we are making celebration

WHY HERBERT SWITCHED
TWO XEW POSITIONS PAY BETTER
THAX OLD 0E.
No Friction and Xo Deep Significance
So Other Changes Are Yet
Determined On.
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 28.-James M.
Herbert, manager of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad, who is. to become the
general manager of the Colorado & South
ern Railroad and vice-president of the
Port "Worth & Denver City Railroad on
January 1. returned to Denver from a trip
to Joplln, Mo., today. At the Denver Club
tonight Mr. Herbert discussed the condi
tions which resulted In his leaving the
Rio Grande, and dictated the following
statement:
"Two weeks ago, unsolicited, the office
of vice-president and general manager of
the Colorado & Southern and vice-president
of the Fort "Worth & Denver City,
carrying with it some attractive features,
was tendered me. I asked time to con
sider, which was granted, following which
I accepted.
"There has been no friction as between
myself and higher Denver & Rio Grande
officers. Salary was the paramount issue
with me. There is absolutely no friction
as between the Colorado & Southern and
the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad inter
ests. "I have placed my resignation as direct
or of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
in the hands of Mr. McClement. who Is
Mr. Gould's representative in that com
pany, for such action as he deems advis
able. Under the circumstances, any other
action would be Inconsistent."
Mr. Herbert said further that the report
that Edwin Hawley had in any manner
influenced his appointment with the Haw
ley roads was unfounded.
"It has been said," continued Mr. Her
bert, "that such was the case, and that
the outcome of the recent Colorado Fuel
& Iron fight promoted this. There Is ab
solutely not a particle of foundation for
any such report. I am Mr. Trumbull's
appointee. I never had any conference
with Mr. Hawley, and will have nothing
to do with him when I accept my new
position. I shall report to Mr. Trumbull."
Mr. Herbert said that he had not de
cided upon any changes which will be
made as the result of his changing posi
tions. "I may not decide upon anything
for several days," said Mr. Herbert. "Mr.
Edson, who is to succeed me as manager
of the Rio Grande roads, will leave Kan
sas City the first of the month, and will
reach Denver the 2d.. He will decide what
is to be done on the Rio Grande roads.
I do not know whether I will take any
one with me or not."
Extcnnion of the Hock Inland.
GUTHRIE, O. T., Dec 28. The Rock
Island will construct a line from North
Enid, Okla,, to Ingersoll, where connec
tion will be made with the Choctaw &
Northern, recently purchased by the Rock
Island. The new road will pass through
the towns of Carrier, Karona, Helena and
Elkton. It is also stated that an agree
ment has been effected whereby the Rock
Island and the 'Frisco will use the same
tracks from Durwood, L T., to Hewitt,
I. T., on the extension of the latter from
Ardmore to Lawton, and of the former
from Ardmore to "Waurlka. The 'Frisco
is graded as far as Hewitt.
BLUE FOXES IN ALASKA.
On SlmmnKin Island Miner Has In
troduced Profitable Industry.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Captain. O. W. Carlson, a well known
mining man of the Nome district, who is
also engaged in raising blue foxes on
Shumagin Island, arrived In the city a
few days ago. He Is on his way south
to San Francisco, where he will spend
the Winter, and in the Spring he will re
turn to Seattle and sail for the North.
Seven years ago Captain Carlson con
ceived the Idea that there would be
money in raising the blue fox for his
fur, so secured several pairs and turned
them loose on the island. Since that
time he has made no effort to count
tbem, and has taken very few of their
skins. This "Winter, however, he has ar
ranged for the taking of 2, number of
skins, which he will ship, to England to
be treated, and they will then be placed
on the market.
Blue fox skins, he says, are worth all
the way from $5 to $60 ech, according
to their quality, just the same as with
other fur skins. They have been quite
prolific since they were put on Shumagin
Island.
There are not many blue foxes in
Alaska. In some parts they are hunted (
for their skins, but not enough to keep
them down. If they were healthy. "What .
skins are taken are valuable, and find
a ready sale. This "Winter Captain Carl
son Intends to take a number of hides,
which will be the first of any amount
since starting the enterprise.
TO BAR OUT FOREIGNERS
Plans for an American Lengnc of
"Workmen in Xcw Jersey.
New York Times.
Aiming to prevent competition by un
naturalized foreigners, the Trades Council
of Plalnfield, N. J:, has formulated plans
for the organization of the American
League of "Workingmen. Sixteen trades j
unions here have joined the movement
which Is fostered by James E. Martine and
the Rev. John MacMurray.
The idea Is to bar .out foreign labor by
prohibiting a member of the league from
working with unnaturalized foreigners.
Branches- are to be established in every
city in New Jersey, and then the move
ment is to spread to other states. More
rigid immigration and naturalisation laws
are to be sought for by the association.
3IaiiHioiiK In Xcvr York.
New York Press.
A great number of houBeowners in New
York live in flats. Said a representative
less than $25,000 a year should try to live
in his own mansion In Manhattan, assum
1 ing that it Is a modern establishment in a
desirable quarter. My house Is worth $35,
C00. I rent it for $2250. My flat costs me
$1500. The difference pays the wages of
two servants, which are as many as we
j need In a flat. In the house we kept four, i
; In my house I was responsible for every- ,
'" thing, and had many annoyances. So had j
1 my wife. In a flat we are responsible for
' nothing. It took every cent of my earn
ings to keep houso respectably in our
mansion. To keep house in our flat on
quite as liberal a scale costs about half."
