FRIDAY, SKPTliMBKR 27, 1907. When thieves full out honest men net their dues. Vide the Fish-I Inrnalian controversy. 1 Uneasy rests the head that wears the crown, is the experience of the king of Tammany. Murphy. If this is ti reliable forecast of the coming national election we may look for the removal of several old Inud marks. Coal oil Johnnie is in little danger of going l( the poorhoiise should the government insist on his paying the $20,000,000 fine. His holdings of Standard stock is -ft 09 ,000,000, of which he perhaps earned only the first thiee figures. His other stealings, then, added to those from his lubricating joint will probably keep the wolf from the door. The railroad commission of Ore gon is investigating the car short age and has Ksued circular 15.1 to all shippers asking them to file their complaints with definite Infor mation covering their experience mid promising to make 1111 endeavor to relieve the situation. It would be good policy for shippers to get nuxt to the commission and assist to their best advantage to knock out this handicap to Oregon commerce. If the venerable Job of ancient timet had lived in these degenerate days and had been given county charity officer lluchtel's job, dol lars to doughnuts he would have "ciiHsed" worse than when he had seventeen different kinds of boils. The history of llrother lluchtel's troubles lends like a romance, and the end is not yet. We would mill er be a kcIiooI diiector or pi evident of the United Slates than to have to stand in Mr. Iluclitel's shoes. Prall Acrcantilc Co. The street car fender committee have tliiowu up their hands again, not being able to find an efficient fender. Heie is a chance for 11 man to makea million.

The newest audition to the mer cantile life of St. Johns is the fine establishment of the Prall Mcrcau tile company on the corner of Jer sey and Hurliiigton streets. Mr. U. T. Trail lias Had many years experience in the mercantile business, both as a wholesaler and retailer, and also with the maun facluring branch of the business He comes from Detroit, Mich,, has remodeled the building he occupies, and tcceived this week a large stock of goods directly from Mar shall Field & Co., Chicago, whic he has bought for spot cush, tlin securing the very lowest prices, and the best goods that money can buy, Mr. Prall says he will sell his good at Portland prices, thus saving th car tare and the tune it takes to go to the city. Besides if there sliouh be anything that is not satisfactory because of some mistake whicl may occur, there is the saving ol another trip to the city. All of these things will make it a most desirable place for our ladies tint citieus generally to trade. Another thing, when you go over town to trade it is enough to give you a nightmare to go into n house and ask for some chambray and have some ignoramus throw down a piece ot cheap calico, or ask for Irish linen and have (lis played before you some hlcachci muslin. Just such freak sales people are met with there almost every day in some of the business houses in the city where cheat labor is employed to cut down cx ikmiscs. Mr. I'rall will avoid this by employing the best help he can get. lie has with him Mr. 0. A. Keeher a first class all round dry goods man who was employed for several years with Roberts Jlros. of Portland, and who thoroughly understands the business. He has also scented the services of Miss Leila Taylor, who used to be with iloiihaiu & Currier, but who comes here from Roberts Bros, establish incut. When you do any business with Mr. Prall you do not have to wait until you lorget what you came after before you arc waited upon Your wants me promptly attended to and you will not need to go to the test room for a nap while your purchase is being prepared lor you. Here you can go to the stoic, make your ptnclm.se scenic the goods neatly wrapped and go on your way rejoicing before the city clerk would have sloped (beaming ol the last theatie eiilettaiiiment and ready to wait on you.

It was simply a walkover for the If rakes, as the score of 10 to t 111 their favor indicates. Games like these arc harmful to the sport. The fans like every thing open and above board, and it looks bad when a leader in a league resorts to secret and underhand methods in order to maintain their lead.
