Table
Housekeepers often wonder, perhaps blame the laundry
because their fine? table linens melt into holes. The real
cause is the manufacturer uses short fibre and resorts to
artificial means for retting, bleaching, etc., because it is cheaper.
We are aware of these facts from practical experience.
You take no chances when you purcease linens of us. We
protect you in prices and quality,

Bound Over for Stealing a Bicycle.
Lust Thursday E. N. Rasmussen left
his new Orescent bicycle in the Wil
lamette Falls railway depot for a couple
of hours, and when he returned it was
gone. About the time ' that the wheel
was missing Ben Thompson, aged 18,
was also conspicuous by his absence,
but two little girls on the West Side
had seen him riding a Orescent wheel.
The officers watched and waited until
Monday when it was ascertrined that
he was in the neighborhood. Officer
Shaw saw him crossing the suspension
'bridge, and when he reached this end,
tommanded him to halt, but Thomp
son jumped over the banisters and down
along the river bank. After a lively
chase Shaw overtook him, and when he
was arraigned before Justice Schuebel
pleaded guilty to the charge, and told
where the bicycle was hid about 300
yards from the depot. In fact, he had
previously imparted this information to
Officer Shaw after a little pumping.
Thompson was bound over to the grand
jury in the sum of $500, and is now con
fined in the county jail. When Thomp
son took the bicycle he went to the
neighborhood of Forest Grove, where
he has relatives living, and did not re
turn until Monday morning. He lost
the axle pin of the bicycle, and used a
spike in its place for the Hast few miles,
and had the tire punctured so badly,
that it is a ponder that he reached his
destination. Mr. Rasmussen says that
his wheel is damaged to the extent of
about $10.
Young Thompson was sent to the re
form school about three years ago. but
was discharged some time afterward.
Rev.'W. H. Latourette. of Oakland,

sionary work, with instructions to re
port at headquarters at New York.
He established a mission at White pass,
and has engaged Rev. J. O. Jordan, of
Bakersfield, Calif., to take charge of it.
Mr. Latourette suites that George Ri
nearson is running a ferry boat on the
lakes, and William Sagar is running a
cigar store at the summit of White pass.
