Cressy of the New York Star Visits Butte. Will M. Cressy, staff correspondent of the New York Star, who has been on the road for seven years and who has traveled 85,000 miles by automobile, was a Butte visitor yesterday. He arrived in Butte with Mrs. Cressy and his niece, Miss Marian Hodges. They are traveling over the Yellowstone trail. The trip that is to end soon at Chicago started a year ago. The party will tour the Yellowstone park. Mr. Cressy sends his paper three stories a week. He has traveled through every country in the world and is one of the most widely traveled men in America. His writings appear each week in his paper in the east and are widely read, being one of the feature series of Gotham. ### Miner Premiums Must All Go This Month That is the order—to close out everything and do it at once. The announcement is made in good faith. The stock must all go at whatever price it will bring. We have made radical reductions on standard articles. You cannot buy goods like the Miner is now distributing to its subscribers anywhere. It is doubtful if you will ever obtain prices equal to these. When materials used in manufacturing premiums go up 150 to 250 per cent, they don't come down very soon. Cut glass and the lines mentioned in Sunday's advertisement are for the most part complete. Call as early as you can and see for yourself. You don't have to buy unless you are pleased to do so. MINER PREMIUM DEPARTMENT. —Adv. 61½ West Broadway. ### The Clerk Guaranteed It. "A customer came into my store the other day and said to one of my clerks: 'Have you anything that will cure diarrhoea?' and my clerk went and got him a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and said to him: 'If this does not cure you I will not charge you a cent for it.' So he took it home and came back in a day or two and said he was cured," writes J. H. Berry & Co., Salt Creek, Va. Obtainable everywhere.

Throughout the east and in business circles there is a feeling of optimism that has not prevailed for years, according to Lee G. Ransohoff, buyer for fancy goods, dress accessories and assorted wear departments of the Symons store, who has just returned from a six weeks' buying trip to New York and other eastern trade centers. By reason of the many departments for which he makes purchases, Mr. Ransohoff had opportunity for observation in many lines of trade. He also rubbed elbows with thousands of buyers from every state in the union, and in fact from almost every section of the western continent. "One doesn't have to be in New York more than 10 minutes to see that business conditions are improved," said Mr. Ransohoff. "Every line of trade is getting its share of war orders. Factories everywhere have resumed and everyone is optimistic over the outlook this fall. Buyers are making larger purchases by from 25 to 50 per cent this year over last and without exception I found that all feel certain of a bigger business than ever. "General opinion in eastern trade circles seems to be that the war will last at least another year, and the majority opinion is that it will result in a draw, both sides to make concessions in arrangement of the ultimate peace. The Teutonic drive in Russia naturally was the feature of paramount interest. "One effect of the war that is striking is the fact that all of the purchases being made this summer are American-made goods. It is high time they were coming to it and now with the imports from Germany and Austria the country is forced to. "Until a fortnight ago the weather was not oppressively warm in the east, but the last 10 days of my visit it was just a bit too warm for comfort in New York. One, accustomed to the balmy nights in this altitude, finds it difficult to sleep during the hot nights back there." Discussing his purchases, Mr. Ransohoff said that he had purchased a great lot of merchandise for the Symons store. He was enthusiastic over the line of fancy novelties for which he contracted and which with his other purchases will be shipped right along now. Mr. Ransohoff declared that he found some particularly fine offerings in the bag line, mentioning incidentally the new gate top mesh bags and the new celluloid frame leather and silk bags, which are decidedly novel and bid fair to enjoy a great deal of popularity. # PROMOTIONS MADE AT HENNESSY'S ## James J. Murphy and E. J. Devine Are Advanced in Establishment. James J. Murphy, who was recently appointed store superintendent at the Hennessy store, has been further promoted to the general management of the Centerville branch, and is succeeded in the Butte store by E. J. Devine, who will act in that capacity from now on. This well merited promotion has followed years of hard and conscientious work on the part of both employes of this establishment. Mr. Devine for 23 years has been an employe of Hennessy's, and Mr. Murphy has been for 16 years with the concern. The promotions are in line with the policy of E. A. Brown, manager of the store, who believes in rewarding the faithful services of old-time employes. # BETTER FITTING CLOTHES You get better clothes and better fitting clothes at this store, and every suit in the store is on sale at a reduction.

It is the consensus of railroad men in Butte that passenger traffic on the railroads running through Butte is heavier this year than ever before, but it is also their belief that Butte and other Montana points are not getting as many stopovers as is warranted by the large traffic. The Yellowstone park, however, is receiving the largest number of tourists in its history and many of these find time to come to Butte. Automobile parties from the west usually stop at Butte first and then take in the sights of the park. Many coming from the east visit the park first and then come to Butte to look around and form an idea of the world's greatest mining city. Many excursion trains have passed and are still passing through Butte. ### Automobile Travel. In addition to the growth of tourist travel by railroads through Butte and the state, a great advance in the number of auto tourists is also noted. During the present summer there have been at least five times as many auto tourists in Butte, going east or west, as there was any other year. At some of the hotels the impression is entertained that this travel has increased tenfold. The tourist travel by railroad and auto is much heavier from the west than from the east, according to statements made at the hotels. It seems that tourists who are taking in the California expositions go there first and return by way of Montana in order to see the state, the mines at Butte and Yellowstone park. In some cases they go to Glacier park. It is expected that next month will be the banner month for such travel, since at that time the greater number of California visitors will be returning to the east, and the hotels expect to secure a very large number of those people while they are passing through Montana on their way home. Since losing the racing traffic that they have had every summer for years, the hotels have been much pleased to secure the increasing tourist patronage, and it has to some extent replaced the lost custom. It certainly is a business feature of importance to the hotels and to the town as well, and the growth of tourist travel in Montana is expected to be productive of a continually growing revenue.
