Firm Have About Oopi-
pleted Extensive Improvee-
ments on the First
Floor.
The entire first floor at Kar-
ner and Phil Hips has taken on a
new and most attractive aspect.
Departments have changed loca-
tions—new ones have been added
—all have been enlarged and bet-
tered. In fact Mr. Phillips says
they are now carrying the largest
stock in the history of the busi-
ness. On entering the store one
is duly impressed by the beauti-
ful displays and decorations on
either side. On the left side of
the store are carried the Dress
Goods, but the old counters in
that department have been re-
placed by tables on which the
foods are shown and displayed.
This is certainly a decided ad-
vantage over the old way as it
allows the eusotmer to mix and
mingle with the goods to a de-
grees that was impossible with
1he old arrangement. On the
rigt side of the store what was
formerly the shoe department—
are located the notions, laces, cm-
broideries and kindred lines.
ARANSAS PASS KABBOB.
Preparations are being niade to
ship two cargoes of material to
be used in the construction and
completion of docks and wharves
from New York direct to Aransas
Pass by water. A company the
capital of which is $1,000,000, has
been organized at Aransas Pass
for the purpose of building docks,
acquiring lands and cutting a
navigable channel from Aransas
Pass across Harbor Island to deep
water near the mouth of the pass,
where the government jetties are
being constructed. The city of
Aransas Pass is about six miles
from deep water and this com-
pany has cut a channel ten feel
deep half way across Harbor Is-
land and now has dredges at
work on day and night shifts to
put the channel through by the j
time the government completes
the jetties now under construe- j
tion. Of these, the north jetty,
which extends one mile into the]
gulf, has been completed and the
south jetty is well under way.
The effect of the jetties is a I-1
ready being felt in the deepening
of the channel - and Government j
engineers assert that there Avill
be at least twenty feet of wa-
ter on the bar by the time the

is conveniently arranged with
tables and chairs—so that ladies
may rest while selecting their
patterns. In the rear of the
store are located the shoe and
ready-to-wear departments—sep
arated by a center partition,
which gives both departments the
feature, of privacy, so desirable
in either. The ready-to-wear de-
partment is one of the chief at-
tractions of the store, being at all
times stocked with the very new-
est goods. It is handsomely ap-
pointed and very conveniently ar-
ranged. With the shoe depart-
ment in its new location Mr. Phil-
lips says lie can wait on trade
better, can give them better at-
tention, and it is more private
and convenient for fitting shoes.

WHEREAS a eorrcet enumera-
tion of the population every ten
vears is required by the Consti-
tution of the United States for
the purpose of determining the
representation of the several
Staii-s in the House of Represen-
tatives; anil
WllEKEAS it is of the utmost
importance to the interests of all
the people of the United States
that this census should be a com-
plete and accurate report of the
population and resources of the
country:
Now, theercfore, I, William
Howard Taft. President of the
United States of America, do
hereby declare and make known
that, under the act aforesaid, it
is the dut.v of every person to
answer all questions on the cen-
sus sehedule.s applying to hjjiii
and the family to which he be-
longs and to the farm occupied
by him or bis family, and that
aii\ adult refusing to <lo so is
subject t" penalty.
The sole purpose of the census
is to secure general statistical
information regarding the popular
tion and resources of the coun-
try, and replies are required from
individuals only in order to per-
mit. the compilation of such gen-
eral statistics. The census has
nothing to do with taxation,
with army or jury service, with
the compulsion of school attend-
ance, with the regulation of im-
migration, or with the enforce-
ment of any national, state, or lo-
cal law or ordinance, nor can
any person be harmed in any
way by furnishing the informa-
tion required. There need be no
fear that any disclosure will be
made regarding any individual
person or his affairs. For the
due protection of the rights and
interests of the persons furnish-
ing information every employee
of the Census Bureau is prohibit-
ed. under heavy penalty, from
disclosure any information which
may llius come to his knowledge
I arnestly urge upon
all persons t<> answer promptly,
completely, and accurately all in-
quiries addressed to them by the
enumerators or other employees;

by to contribute their share to-
