room, bo I went there. Ho has left
the company and gone as represen
tative here of Messrs. E. V. Harman
& Co., New York, and has an eight
room houso and a grand piano in It,
in fact most all tho houses I saw had
pianos. In Mr. Sommer's house there
were two and they had one taken out.
I met the different gentlemen of the
Inca company and they treated me as
nlco as could be. Mrs. Dr. Dolt gave
me a lovely breakfast tho day after
we got there and the same night Mrs.
Sommer, whose husband Is In charge
now that Major Herman Is away,
gave me a swell dinner, the same day,
Mr. and Mrs. Sommer, Mr. and Mrs.
Belt, Mr. Wood, the auditor of tho
Inca company, and myself. It was
just as swell as could be, although
they all had to wear their store
clothes, as I had not taken my dress
suit with me. They wear dress suits
very often and Prince Alberts In the
afternoon and receptions before
dark. Your dear mamma knows how
swell I look in a Prince Albert. I
struck it rich as the morning after
t'.o dinner they found that It was the
ninth anniversary of the signing of
tho contract between Mr. Archer
Herman and General Alfaro, so Mrs.
Sommer very nicely had all of the
employes to dinner, and wo had a
lovely time. A Mr. Morris, one of
tho engineers, played on tho piano,
and as he played by ear was unable
to play anything one could name.
Mrs. Sommer was the only lady, and
so she had to dance with about nine
men, as there were nine of us with
her. I made a toast. I sat to her
right and we all stood up and drank
champagne and two or three other
wlne3, and when we all sat down af
ter the toast sho whispered to me
that sho had read that up in New
York state on a grave stone. Sort
of a shot, was it not? She is a very
accomplished little lady, sings and
plays and Is a groat favorite with
every one. All the boys swear by
her. Sommer's house Is very nice,
about eight rooms. They pay $200
per month furnished, and such furni
ture glass chandeliers with stuf
fed birds, stuffed furniture, and
all tho old stylo things. They had
to have about half the furniture
taken out before they could get
around at all. Campuzano and I
took a cab and went and called on
several people.
The surroundings of Quito are
just lovely. Tho climate all that one
could ask for, never too hot nor too
cold. Tho city Itself Is filthy no
sewerage or any sanitary accommo
dations. Tho malor has the Salvador
house and to which everyone has the

The Myers Store
An Opportune Time
To Buy Seasonable Merchandise
There is no time like the present to buy for fall and winter wear. The prices are the most reasonable of any
store in the country, when you come to compare qualities.
The Myers Store does not have on its shelves a cent's worth of shoddy or worthless merchandise. The best
is none too good for us, when we go to market; and then we endeavor to buy the "best" to sell at prices that are as
low and lower than you are usually asked for inferior goods. Our buying with 46 large department stores through
out the northwest, is what enables us to sell as low as many stores have to pay for their merchandise at wholesale.
Have you given us a trial order?
Women's Tailored Suits
At their first nppenrnnce, there
were women who hesitated nt the
adoption of the more severe styles
which nro universal In the Autumn
Suits. Hut, just ns in studying the
rorimitioii of a simple dainty flower,
me by one its beauties nro revealed,
So ns we study 1007's autumn styles,
we become invntc that they nrc en
dued with n fitness nnd benuty
thnt cannot be questioned.
A fact thnt is particularly com
mented upon is that our cheaper
suits possess the same beauty, fit
nnd style ns the more expensive ones.
There Is a reason for this. It is be
cause the same painstaking care is
used in their tniloring, the difference
in price being in their materials nnd
trimming.
We should be glad to have you
visit our suit department. Prices
range from $15.00 to $15.00.

Aquapelle Rainproof Clothing
"he "Aquapelle" is something new in rainproof clothing, nnd It
promises to be one of the leading brands in this line. It is not
nn oiled fabric, but resembles duck, which bears a nvaterproof
dressing. It is, therefore, much lighter in weight than oiled
clothing, nnd, of course, will wear much longer. The color is
a dark brown. For good hard wear and comfort, the "Aqua

$12.75. Pants are ijlU.OO pnir. Or the price of

got to go spoclal In ono of tho ma

pay $C00, which Is tho special price,
wo wont down for tho regular prlco
of 2fi sucro. Don't think, though,
for a momont thnt wo had Intended
taking a "special." Woll of all tho
rides thnt was It. Talk about an
automobile faco, why, I got one be
fore wo woro out of town. It wns
a touring car, three In front and
four big arm seats behind. Wo had
soven ns far as Latacus and thon
only four to Itlobamba. And say,
tho wny they go Is fierce; no, moro
than that. I don't think wo touched
tho ground but at tho three passes
Santa Rosa, CotopaxI and Sananca
jas. Wo left at 2:30 p. m. nnd wero
to go to Latacunga, but after wo hnd
beon on tho road about an hour ono
of tho springs broke and It took nn
hour nnd a half to mond It with wire,
so wo only got ns far as Machnchl
nnd stopped at tho Grando hotel.
And such a hotel it was. Campy
and I managed to get a room, and ho
got tho boy to change the shoots,
come with the bed, as wo found
they had only one change and put
tho clean sheets on the bottom.
Campy said that was the custom.
Wo had to wait about two hours for
something to eat and all .through
tho country tho national dish Is
locro, a potato soup which is really
not bad, and qulto nourishing. There
was nbout ten of us at tho table, it
wns cold and only ono candlo. I
looked into tho kitchen, nt least
where I supposed tho kitchen to bo,
and there was no light at all. I do
not know whether tho cook was
blind, but ho or sho could suroly seo
In tho dark. Wo woro to get off at
1 n. m. and tho chauffeur commenced
his honk at 3:30 end wo got up too
cold to wash and nothing to wash
with had wo wanted to. It took us
fully nn hour to got tho boys and
cook awake, although thoy said wo
could havo coffeo at nny tlmo wo
wanted It. Wo stayed around In tho
dark and cold trying to get thorn
up. A lawyer from Quito cleaned
his teeth whllo wo were waiting In
tho dlniug room and spit all over tho
floor In all directions, but as a floor
is never swept it does not matter.
Then another thing struck me as
strango and that was as soon as tho
native gets td the table he Is takon
which I think must havo originally with quick consumption, and gen
erally takes that particular time to
relievo his lungs and manicure his
beak, and' expectorate on the floor
at their feet. Tho boss of tho hotel
did not show up at all In tho morn
ing, so wo paid our scores to a boy
who, when you asked him how much
looked as though you had asked him
a problem In Euclid, so we gave him
ten sucro. Tho way that auto
moved was a caution, nnd once wo
ran over n dog. It is fierce to come
to tho brow of a hill and then go
down It at the rate of 45 miles an
hour, and to seo at tho bottom about
40 mules with packs and the chauf
feur not stopping, but just wind In
and out and around tho people and
animals ns though thoy had no ex
curso for being on earth.
Onco wo ran right up on top of a
largo pack horso nnd throw him
down, and you oupht to havo heard
him holler. Ho backed off and
went right on as though nothing had
happened. I believe, in fact I am
suro, that It takes more sand to run
an auto than It does to run nn army
or go Into battle. They hardly over
slack up, Just keep going, trusting to
luck and good driving, or rather
steering, to get them through. All
tho chauffeurs her are Frenchmen.
Ours was a boy, and not over 20
yoars old. Finally tho spring on tho
other side broke and we tied It up
with rope. Wo got Into Ambnto at
about 10 a. m. and they fixed every
thing up, and exactly at 1:24 wo
started, and at 4:02 wo got out nt
tho hotel at Rlcbamba, just 30 miles.
They say that tho chauffer Mr. Ar
cher brought down here was a dandy.
Ho had a helper called Francisco
who now makes tho se.nsatlonal trips.
