"My main thought," said he, "is not a " profit-making enterprise, but to ex press my ideas of what a tourist hotel ought to be as an adjunct to highway development and tourist attraction. It is hot only essential to make our valleys and mountains accessible by good high ways, but it is further necessary to capi talise them by pleasant and comfortable hotels. FOB T017BIST TRADE "I have always contended that before. we coma expect, to attract - tourists in numbers we should be prepared to en tertain them and minister to their physi cal .comfort. "I don't expect to make. any. money out of the hotel and will do well If it pays expenses. I am In hopes that it will serve as a model and stimulate the building of other resorts In the wake of f our improved highways." r The new hotel wiU be manae-ed by Henri Thiele, formerly of the Hotel Ben son of Portland. ,;.

Lou Protz man, a Portland man,' is an agent for the department of interior and it is his duty to observe the caribou and get data on their habits and nature. Recently ordered : to go to the Far North country and follow the herd south, he Was among them for several months and his observations are of : particular value. He has been attached -to the aerv lc'e some 20 years. j C HEKD MOTES LIKE FOREST Telling of herds so large that a count Is impossible he states the herd looks like i a huge acreage of stubby t brush. When the herd starts moving he says the sight is uncanny for it seems like Bur nam wood moving upon-the -stronghold of Macbeth. . i ' .Protected from indiscriminate killing by hunters, the limit by the game law being three caribou a year, the danger of extermination is reduced to a mini mum. ; However, the ! toll ' taken by the wolf pack, he states, is about three times that of the sportsman's gun. EAT TESDEB A(D SWEET The meat of the caribou is extensively used by the Alaskans and while they lay in a winter's supply the waste is nil. 'No more than is needed is taken.' ; Speaking of the meat as food he tells that it : is similar to beefsteak with a slight gamey flavor. Unless the animal is very old the meat, he says,! is tender and sweet. ' He predicts the popularity of caribou meat will grow as the: people of the United States become more ac quainted with it The reindeer, he points out, is , a 'domesticated species of the. caribou and the . raising of the animals Is becoming an industry - of the territory. i Woman for Many Years on Staff of Butte Miner Dies Gladstone.

For the Entire Stock of Diamonds, Solid Gold, Silverware, Watches and Jewelry Is Reduced a Fourth, a Third, a Half l f -t , s ..... . . - and Even More Than Half! J. P. MORGAN once characterized Wall street's condition as "suffering from undigested se curities.' ' ' I . This describes the condition of the Friedlander store undigested stocks of diamonds too many watches too many clocks too much of every thing. For this reason everything in the store is reduced except ("Hamilton" watches and "Big Ben" clocks. To give some idea of the sale, these prices have been gathered from the window show: HUNDRED DOLLAR BAR PINS set with diamonds are reduced to $65. A fine Pendant, diamond set, is $129 instead of $180. A $200 Bar Pin is $135. A magnificent Opal Ring that was modestly priced ! at $175 is reduced to $119. Another valued at $225 is cut to $137. A fine Cameo Brooch set with dia monds 'is $159.50, instead of $300. SOLITAIRES: are likewise reduced, though, of course, not as "savagely" as the fancy diamonds. A single magnificent stone valued at $2850 is re duced to $2350. A Bar Pin that was $2500 is $1500. A Diamond Bracelet that was $1-200 is cut to $885. A Solitaire Pendant set in Platinum is $2350, instead of $2850. And a $275 Lavalliere is $165. A rare Amethyst Pendant which was $450 is now less than half price $219. A sixteen hundred Bar Pin is eleven hundred and seventy-five dollars. A hundred and fifty dollar Sunburst is $85. A TWELVE (HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLAR BROOCH of Platinum and Diamonds is reduced to $675. A string of beautiful Pearls valued at $32 can be bought foe $19.50, and the $100 Pearls are $59.50. A Dia mond Set Watch in a platinum case is j $675, instead of $97o, and so on through I the entire stock. The finest collection of I diamonds offered by a house of over fifty years' stand ing at a fourth to a third less. j And I almost forgot there are REAL diamonds in REAL engagement rings for as little as $19.50. ALL the Watches are, of course, drastically reduced. Here's a group of Elgin and Waltham Watches they were $32, now they're $19.50. Swiss Bracelet Watches that were $25 are now $16.50, and they have the fashionable ribbon bracelets. Swiss Radiolite Watches on ribbons are also $16.50, though they, too, were $25. Elgin Watches for men that were $25 to $27.50 are now $19.50. Men's Finest Watches; that were $85 areTnow $65, and the $25 Military Watches for men can now' be bought for $10. Solid Gold Watches for ladies are worthy of more than a passing mention they can be bought for $38.50, though the original prices ran as high as $65. And every watch (excepting the "Hamilton") is reduced a fourth, a third, and in some cases half. PEOPLE who are looking for gifts for June brides are having a fine time. . Here's solid silver, quadruple plate and Sheffield, wares, and every piece re duced. ' Some only a fourth off some very close to half off and the stock is so big and so fine and selected with such excellent taste that every gift seeker will surely be delighted. And what's of con siderable importance to generous souls they can give a half as much again (oa the average) as they'd hoped to be able to give. ESTEPtDAY one of the salesmen jT showed a set of silver to a. dear old lady who was a trifle deaL "Twenty-five per cent off," he said. She thanked him, but decided not to buy until she had "looked around." This morning she came back and said,. "I'm going to buy that set anyway, though your prices are not. any lower than I found anywhere else. Still you were very nice, so I thought I'd ' come back, roa seel" And she connted out twenty-five dollars. "I had to shout to make her understand' explained the. salesman. "When I said twenty-five off she thought I meant twenty-five dollars, but I' made the check out for eighteen seventy-five, of course." THAT incident shows the character of the Friedlander store better than anything I could say'. It is the sort . of event one likes to tell one's own people about. And that's one of the reasons why it's such, a tremendous success. ItXrcaL But this advertisement threatens to fee tiresome reading. "An advertisement said a friend, "should be like a woman's skirt. short enough to be; interesting; lut Jong enough to cover everything." Evidently it is time to end this one.
