DAILY CAPITA1 JOURNAL, SALEM, PRECOX. THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1011. PAGE FITS, A We Never Misrepresent Brother Merchant If we worry you, knock us and keep on knock, ing, otherwise boost your own store, and boost Salem, but do not wilfully misrepresent your competitors. We have taken two of the largest and most successful mercantile establishments in the Pacific Northwest for our ideal. One a large furniture store, always advertises it has the beet values and makes most strenuous efforts to see that It has; the other the most wide-awake and altogether the most successful department store in the Northwest, daily offers many extreme values to its customers. For the week White Wash That cost us as much as $180, for 50c The skirts are soiled, but the values are there. Maybe they are fictitious, but they seem real to us. Babies White Wash Bonnets That cost us as much as 95c each for 25c These values seem real to us. Ladies' $14.00 Suits for $7.00 Ask the head of the department if this Is REAL! You will be in formed that each season must make its own profits and bear its own losses that every suit sold at $7.00 means a loss to us but the public gets the REAL, NOT FICTITIOUS VALUE, Just the same, and we CARRY NO OLD STOCK. Last year we had ocasion to purchase a single piece of corset cover embroidery. For this we had to pay a price that to make a very ordinary profit, we would have had to ask 50 cents. By buy ing 20,000 yards of embroidery, as we had done in the spring, we had been able to sell exactly the same quality of embroidery for U'c per yard. This year we offer values up to 50c in Embroidery tor 1 7c per yard. We paid $2500 for our spring buy of embroideries, in order to get these values. Are the values real or fictitious? SOMEHOW THEY SEEM REAL TO US. We wish every merchant well in 'Salem, BUT WE HAVE OF FERED EXTREME VALUES AND INTEND TO DO SO. We have two reasons for this. First, If there is a great value to be ob tained In Europe or America that we can possibly secure for our customers, we are going to do it. second we intend to keep a clean stock. One who had Inspected 29 stock of merchandise In Oregon and Washington stated that our stock was the freest from old goods of any he had inspected. If we find we have pur chased too much in certain assortments we see that the price moves them before the season is over. When we offer values to $1.25 Black Dress Goods for 29c ASK our customers if the values are REAL. The advertising de partment think it is. ; FOR 27 years we have given full value for every dollar's worth of merchandise we have sold, and backed) every ADVERTISED STATEMENT with actual value. We have faith enough In our ability and the purchasing power of our money to believes that we can secure our share of the trade "WITHOUT RESORTING TO KNOCKING. EVEN OUR SALES PEOPLE ARE INSTRUCTED NOT TO KNOCK ANOTHER STORE." We canot understand why as bright young men as our competitors feel that they must resort now and then to knocking, which amounts to wilful or Insinuated misrepresentation of their competitors. OUR ADVERTISEMENT IS SO AUTHENTIC that we never question yours. We buy for Cash and Sell at the Lowest Possible Cash Price ' 1 1 ' Got Tray of Diamonds.

Mrs. James Shorter, of Byron, 111., whp with her two children were-passengers on the Northern Pacific train held up early today at Tower City, N. D., related her experiences on ar rival. "I was awakened," she said, "when a panic stricken passenger from the rear coach rushed into our car. Then I heard a voice, 'Be quiet or I'll shoot.' "Immediately after that the con ductor dashed through our car car rying two revolvers. He fired twice through the glass door of the rear car, and I saw a masked man who cried out as though he were wound ed. Then the conductor disappeared and the porter appeared, preceding another robber who was yelling, 'Lie down; keep still!' "When the bandits had almost reached me another robber appeared at the end of the car and cried, 'Clear out," whereupon all the out laws vanished. "The robbers worked for 15 min utes undisturbed among the sleepers. Some of the passengers lost as much as $500 cash and others said after the hold up that they had lost valu ables worth $1,000." o HIS IDEAS ON TRUSTS ALSO POLYGAMOUS UNITED TRESS LEASED WIDE. Portland, Or., July 20. President Joseph F. Smith, of the Mormon church of Utah, is not convinced by the government investigation of the suRar trust, in which he was called to testify, that anything but good has resulted or can result from the church's association with the trust in building up the great beet sugar In dustry tha now flourishes in Utah and Southern Idaho. According to ! the Mormon head, who is here today, j President Havemeyer, of the sugar trust, came to the aid of the church at a critical time in the development of the sugar beet industry and was the means of bringing great material blessings to the Mormon people. Smith said that in the pioneer days, two efforts were made by the Mor mon people to establish the sugar in dustry in Utah and both failed. Then in 1S!)0 the third effort was made and proved successful insofar as the mak ing of sugar was concerned, but the men who had subscribed for the stock of the sugar company were un able to meet their payments, not withstanding assistance by the church, and bankruptcy stared the company In the face. At this critical period, Havemeyer bought one-half of the stock, paying $18 a share for It while its par value was only $10. "We were mighty glad to sell It, too," he added. BUT PUMP MIGHT GET A FLAT WHEEL Convinced that he has a plan which will solve the water famine existing at the Asylum, Roland K. Page, man ager of the Portland Railway, Light & Power company, will appear be fore the .state board this afternoon, and present it in detail. Mr. Page's plan is to supply the asylum with water from wells and which is to be pumped by pumps oper ated by the means of electric power. He now supplies the city of Wood burn with watef in that way, and also has a well in Kingwood Park, and several scattered throughout the city. He will present to the board the pumping records of all of his pumps In these wells, the cost of the pump, the motor, and the power to operate the pump, and he Is satisfied that he can offer a plan which is more economical than any which has so far been presented. , According to Mr. Page's figures, a well can be dug, a pump be installed which will not only afford immediate relief but which will have such a capaclt- that it will supply the insti tution with, plenty of water for years to come for, about $2,500. The legis lature appropriated $10,000 for the increase of the water supply at the Institution. c BODY OF RALPH KENNEDY TAKEN FROM THE RIVER The body of Ralph Kennedy who was drowned in the Willamette river several days ago when he was hurled from a government scow at Eola, was found this morning floating In the water near the dock of the Spaulding Lumber company. Employes of the company discov ered the body and Immediately com municated with Coroner Clough, who began an investigation. While It had been in the water but a few days the body was in bad state of decomposi tion and it loked for awhile as though Identification would be Im possible. Suspecting that it was that of Ralph Kennedy Coroner Clough had an acquaintance look It over with the result that it was positively Identified as his. , The remains are being shipped this afternoon to Newport where the fu neral services will be held and in terment be made. THE WOMAN CONFESSES TO BIGAMY lUNITED riESS LEASED WIBE.l Baker, Or., July 20 A self con fessed bigamist, Mrs. John Lang, of Rock Creek, whose true name Is Mar ion Lake, is a prisoner in the county jail today, having surrendered to Sheriff Rand. The woman's story is that in early life, having a hard lot in her home in Missouri, she resorted to a matri monial agency and through it was married to Arthur Lake at Berthoud, Colo. Life with him proved worse than the one she had and again she tried the matrimonial agency, re ceiving a communication from Lang, which resulted in her coming to Bak er, where she was married to him on May 31, this year. The marriage license was made out In the name of Miss Marlon Lake. "Mrs. Lang" and her husband, who is a rancher of Rock Creek, have been happy together since their mar riage and the story of the woman's alleged crime might have remained a secret forever, had not her real hus band learned of her whereabouts and begun prosecution. Lang says that If she Is sent to prison he will supply her at the ex-j piration of her term with funds with which to secure a divorce from Lake. CAMP GROUNDS UNSANITARY SAY NEIGHBORS Complaints are pouring Into Chief of Police Hamilton relative to the unsanitary conditions of the camping grounds located within the city and while after an investigation he found the complaints were well founded he was uable to take any action because of the absence of any ordinance on the subject investing him with au thority to proceed. The camping grounds in North Sa lem, Yew Park and other portions of the city are not only, unsanitary, ac cording to 'the complaints but offen sivean odor coming from them that 13 so strong that it rises clear to the sky. As most of the camping grounds are on private property there Is. no way by which the officers can pro ceed and correct conditions. There is no ordinance on the subject, and it- is the opinion of those who have investigated conditions that the coun cil should pass one providing for the erection of toilets on all camp grounds, and. also providing that otherwise they must be maintained in a sanitary condition either by the campers or the owners of the ground. ROOSEVELT WAS BLUFFING SAYS STANLEY t UNITED PBBSR LEASED WtHB.1 Washington, July 20. That for mer President Roosevelt widely ad vertised probe of the steel trus in 1906 was largely bluff was the gist of interesting minutes of the United States Steel corporation which were read today by Chairman Stanley of the house Investigating committee at the session here of that body. According to the minutes, Elbert H. Gary, head of the trust, told its ex ecutive committee that they need not fear the Investigation when Roose velt and Commissioner of Corpora tions Garfield began the probe. Ac ordlng to the minutes, Gary said: "We are in close touch with the corporation commissioner of corpor ations and at times with the presi dent himself." Herbert Knox Smith, present com missioner of corporations, testified today that the "close touch" probably was maintained througn George W. Perkins, who, he said, had frequently conferred with Gary. HOUSE OF LORDS AMENDS BILL AND PASSES IT HOUSE WILL PROBABLY 8ED IT BACK, AND KIXG GEORGE WILL HAVE TO MAKE GOOD BY CREATING 800 NEW PEERS OR BE TSCOKOXATED". London, July 28.--The house of lords this evening passed the bill taking from that body the veto pow er on financial legislation but amend ed so that it Is almost certain to be rejected by the commons when it re convenes on Monday. It Is believed the house of com mons will send the bill back to the Lords next Thursday with the de mand that the upper house's amend ments be removed. This will precip itate the crisis which has been gath ering for many months and either lords or commons must back down. It Is declared unofficially today that it was exactly this contingency which Premier Asqulth has been pre paring for, and that If the Lords do not at once accede to a p.ervmptory demand by the government to pass the commons bill without amend ment knowing George will be asked to make good his promise to the pre mier and flood the hereditary house with more than 300 peers. Should the king at the last mo ment refuse to comply with Asqulth's wishes, it la admitted that the grav est situation will result in England since the days of Oliver Cromwell. defect AT FOUNTAINS.HOTCLS.OR CLSCWHCKC Get the Original and Genuine TRUCK'S MALTED MILK The Food DrinkforAHAges :CH MILK, HALT CHAIN EXTRACT, IN POWDER Not in any Milk Trust CPS Insist on "HORLICK'S" Take package bom A TERRIFIC RAIN STORM AT MERRILL Merrill, Or., July 20.
