TITLES ARE
(
By an order that has just been
issued by W. Bolllns, division super
intendent for the O. R. & N. com
pany, the former titles held by divis
ion officials, such as division engin
eer, etc., have been abolished and
from now on all of those officials will
be classed as assistant superinten
dents. As a result of the rule Just pro
mulgated the following titles have
been done away with: master me
chanic, division engineer, chief dis
patcher and traveling engineer. In
stead there will be seven assistant
superintendents on the Oregon di
vision and they will be as follows:
J. D. Matheson, J. T. langley. A. F.
Stotler, A. Buckley, W. E. Borden, J.
F. Corbett and J. C. Shea.
Instructions are also given that
correspondence intended for any of
the departments managed , by any of
the above should be addressed siinpiy
to "assistant superintendent" the
designation of a particular assistant
superintendent to handle specified
classes of correspondence and tele
grams being a matter for the super
intendent's office.
In explanation of the change in ti
tular ' designations the order Issued
has the following:
"The modifications of pre-existing
organization and methods herein or
dered have been carefully worked
out to expedite the company's busi
ness by the reduction and simplifica
tion of correspondence and records.
It is expected and believed that of
ficials an demployes will insure a
successful outcome by lending their
usual intelligent co-operation and
support."

-While Eczama. Acne, Tetter, Salt Rheum, etc., are troubles which affect
.he skin, their source b far deeper than the outsida cuticle. These aJections
ire causod by irritating humors, or uratio acid in the blood. Such lmnurities
inflame and irritate the delicate net-work of fibrous tbsue which lies Just
beneath the s irfaco of the outer skin, and the infiim natory discharge thu3
produced is forcad out through the pores and gUnis, and is continually
kept up while tlie blood remains infected. This exudation causes the form
itlon of smiles and crusts so often soen in Eczemm, and when thev arc
scratched oflf the flrsh is left raw and more susceptible to other infection
It can very readily ba seen then that to produce a cure the circulation must
-e puriflcd .md cloanaad. This S. S. S. will do. It goes down to the very
otton, removes til humors and impurities, neutralizes the excessive acido
f the srstnm nnd in this wy removes the cause of disease. Local applice.
ions can only sootlio tho Irritation and assist in keeping the skin clean- the--ever
produce a cure because such treatment does not roach the blood.

Good Clothes f
Men, as well as women, like to be well dreasid, but many ot them
dont know how to go about It ;
The majority of clothing stores can't help them muck, either
they clothe them, ttl true but they certainly don't dress them.
And That's Where This Store f
comes ml I
We dress men well we spare no pains to do It .
Clothes quality, these days, counts for as much as price in the
way of an Inducement, when asking tor patronage.
2XCLUIVENESS AND EXCELLENCE IN HATS AND HABJCB-
DASHERT.
It you car tor clothes excel- lence, Sir, come here!
Clothes of Quality
QUALITY DETERMINES SUCCESS.
Quality Indicates the man; Quality makes the merchant; Quality
you will remember long after the price has been forgotten. The
quality and prices of the goods piled up and scattered around
this store will tell you whether or not this la the right place to get
the right quality at the right prices. . '
Tea, It would be easy to go ahead and enumerate all kinds of drugs,
medicines, stationery, toilet goods, books, combs, brushes, etc. BBut
what's '.he use? It Isn't just things you're after. You want quality,
articles of merit, and things that are pure and wholesome.
This is not a little, dingy place. It's a drug store vith lots of good
goods for good people. It's a drug store o f quality, and the best in
.he beginning is the cheapest In the end.
Business principles that are broad, honorable and -fair to all,
form the keystone for a united friendship.
