Everything put up goes strictly to the highest

to bid in furniture that does not bring in high
enough prices.
Dealers have attended our sales and remarked
that they were able to buy for less than wholesale
prices.
This is certainly the place to get furnishings for
that extra room or even the whole house.

San Francisco's Underworld
Accepts Defeat Quietly
Wan Franciseo, Peb. 18. "Sail Pran
eisco's underworld today aeeepted de
feat quietly.
Hysteria and excitement which came
wi'li the closing of the '"Marbary
Coasl " has passed and one of the
World's most notorious vice spots to
day was as quiet as the morgue which
it faces.
The underworld women have dropped
quietly from sight. Not one took nd
vnutago of the offer of financial aid
and other assistance which social work
ers made. Hcv. Paul Smith, whose vice
crusade sounded the death knell of the
"Barbery Coast." said today that not
only did the women decline to seek aid
but they had laughed at social workers
who offered such aid.
Tin I nana and the border will get
many of them, it is said.
Before leaving for California yester
day, A. N. Bush placed with the city
recorder the deed to the city for the
Bush pasture- The city recorder will
present it to the city council next Mon
day evening for acceptance, after wliten
it will be recorded. The tract is to be
officially known as "Bush's pasture '.
One of the provisions of the deed is
that it shall remain in its present state
during the life time of Miss Sally
Bush. The tract contains 5" acres locat
ed in the hettrt of the city and is declar
ed bv mnnv to be one of the finest
park siles in the valley.
The first annual reunion and roll call
of the Baptist church was held this aft
j eruoon and w ill close this evening with
lun address by the past at, the Rev.
' Qaorge V. Holt, outlining the work of
! the church for the coming year. The
I services opened this afternoon at -i
jo'ekyk with a devotional program, ful-
lowed by a roll call. As names are call
i ed, each member will be called on for
a short response. A social hour and
lunch will follow the afternoon roll
I call and exercises. After the lunch.
the evening services will open with a
i praise service for which special music
has been prepared by Mrs. r. P. Harlan
and a quartette composed of Theodore
and John Koth and Johu and Fred
Broer. After the eveniug roll call, an
address will be delivered by the pastor.
So far, about 60 of the unmarried
men of the Klk lodge have been rounded
up for the home made dinner that the
married men of the lodge will tender to
the unmarried members on the evening
of Thursday, February 22, just in the
way of observing Washington's birth
day. This number includes a few of
! the charter members who have managed
I to get along without the comforts of a
home to the younger members of the
i herd who have just passed the age (M
1 21 years. After the dinner all mom
l hers of the lodge will meet at the Klk
temple for a Washington birthday pro
