Making More Room
For the third time we are obliged to enlarge our store to get more floor space
more room for stock and more room for the accomodation of our customers. These
alterations will inconvenience our customers somewhat but it will be more than made
up to you by the reductions we propose to make on many lines of goods that we
must get out of the way of the carpenters. We quote as many prices as we have
room for here, but nearly every article, except those the prices of which are controlled
by the manufacturers, is reduced from 25 to 50 per cent.

Labor Day. Great r repara
tion. Fine Programme.
Labor day is on Monday, Sept. 1st,
and its success is assured. Manager
Howard has had tlie personal supervis
ion ot the whole affair and lie declares it
will be a great success. The procession,
starting at 10 o'clock a. m., will be
headed by a beautiful star of labor, sur
rounded with flags and silver trimmings j
the star is exceedingly artistic, indica
tive o( the ascendency of the laborers'
interests. Twenty-five floats will make
up iho procession, representing the fra
ternal, labor and business organizations
of, the city. Mr. Howard is engaged
every moment of the day painting Bigns
ami making decorations for these floats.
At 11 o'clock a. m. the talented labor
orator from the East, J. T. Morgan, will
address the citizens at Canemah park,
which will be followed by music and a
recitation by the popular reader, G. R.
11. Miller. Two excellent Danus are pro
cured for the occasion, from Milwaukie
and Oregon City, which will furnish
good music and plenty of it. At 1 :30
occurs a game of baseball between the
Filers' Union, 1'ortland. and Oregon
Olty. The game is at Oanemah park
and free. From present indications this
will be the day of all dayB, with several
thousand people present. No one can

State Fair.
No time in the history of the Oregon
State Fair has there been bucu a good
feeling among the agricultural classes
towards the success of the fair as exists
at the present time. Every section of
the state seems to be taking an interest
in the fair and promise to give it their
hearty support. Tuer are reasons for
this awakening of the people to the sup
port of the fair. One is, the manage
ment has worked hard and faithfully to
muke the fair as broad as the state it
self. The transportation companies
have come to'their assistance and made
very liberal rates on hauling exhibits
of all kinds. Another is, the people
are beginning to reab'ze that it is time
tolit the outside world know of the
wonderful resources of our state, aud
believe that the State Fair is the proper
place to meet the better class of houie
seokors. This will make the fair doubly
valuable. It will give those who are

On motion the following resolution

Resolved, that we learn with sincere
grief of the death of our old Comrade,
Judsou Howell. On many a battlefield
as well as on the march and in the camp
he proved himself a brave and efficient
soldier and a faithful friend and com

citizen, and soldier, and we snail ever
cherish his memory of one who bore

In relation to Mr. Howell's death it
may be noteworthy that the Federal
gunner's pouch he captured at the battle
of Cedar Creek in 1804 is still iu the pos
session of his comrade, Mr. J. D. Mc
Cartney of Union. The pouch bears
upon it the name of C. E. Powell, evi

The band concert at Milwaukie Tues
day night in Electric park was a pleas
ing success in every detail. The object
of the entertainment was to procure
funds for the band boys to defray the
expenses incurred in the purchase of
t eir suits and instruments. This was
the second affair of the kind held. The
first concert realized something like $60,
and at this time about the same amount
was realized. Special mention ought to
be made of the excellent work of the
Milwaukie band. They rendered a
dozen splendid selections and pleased
everybody. The band has only been or
ganized a year, and is composed of 39
pieces, and without the least exaggera
tion bids fair to become one of the very
best in the state. J. E. Wetzler, the
manage", deserves much credit for the
excellent work he has accomplished.
He is a tireless worker and a musician
who thoroiurhtv understands his work.
Miss Ida Fenfsin, of Chicago, rendered a
selection in a creditable manner, and
Howard M. lirownell made a lew re
marks.

Bu the 8. 8. McClun Company q
Mlidred sat down with a gasp. She
(was conscious of only one appalling
fact the little silver bag which had
dangled from .her belt when she start
ed out some hours earlier was now
gone and with it all her money, her
watch, the'key of her trunk; and vari
ous little odds and ttnds dear to her
heart
Stranded on the exhibition grounds,
miles from her hotel and her chaperon I
This was her punishment for flying In
the face of conventionality as personi
fied by Aunt Urania. She did not at
tempt to retrace her steps in search of
it She knew it would be useless.
A sudden realization came to her
that she was deadly tired and horribly
hot and hungry. She rose with the
sudden, impetuous little movement so
characteristic of her.
And at that moment a man who had
been watching her intently from the
next bench rose also and approached
her, hat in hand.
As she was thus suddenly brought
face to face with him she started for
ward impulsively with outstretched
hand, but almost immediately her hand
fell to her side as - with a cold half
bow she turned awny.
' But the mm was not to be so easily
repulsed.
"Good morning," he said pleasantly.
"Surely even mere acquaintances may
exchange a few words when they hap
pen to meet by chance in a place like
this. Is Miss Carson with you?" And
he fell into step beside her, apparently
unconscious of her frigid bearing.
A direct question cannot be ignored
by any one with the least pretensions
to good bseding; therefore Mildred,
after a second's hesitation, was con
strained to answer coldly:
"Aunt Urania is at the falls. But I
must ask you to1 excuse me. Good
morning!"
She half turned, but the man laid a
detaining hand upon her ai-m and,
dropping his half 'bantering tone, said
seriously:
"Look here, Milly yes, I may call
you that by right of old friendship, so
don't blaze! I am here by myself, and
I am deuced lonely. When we last
parted, you said you had wiped cut all
memory of that that other business,
but you said nothing of our good fel
lowship of n year ago. tet us go back
to where we were last January jolly
good chums and let's put In our day
together."
Mlidred hesitated. She, too, If Bhe
would but confess it was "deuced
lonely" and tired and hot and hungry
into the bargain. Still, some things,
despite what one may say to the con
trary, are not wiped out of remem
brance by a word.
"I think that would be impossible,"
she said f reezingly. "I am going to re
turn to the falls now. Good morningl"
"Well, you're not going to shake me
like that anyway!" he cried cheerfully.
"I am going to put you on your car at
least."
But Mildred, in the awful conscious
ness of her penniless condition, flushed
scarlet If be Insisted upon putting
her on the car, the conductor would
Just as firmly insist upon putting her
off when he came to collect the fares.
In her desperation and exhaustion she
dropped down upon a bench they hap
pened to be passing.
"I'm tired," she said, digging little
boles with her umbrella In the gravel
at her feet "I must take a rest first
I don't want to be rude, Mr. Gaveston,
but I think I wished you good morning
Bome time ago."
The man, undaunted, seated himself
beside her with a smile.
"Look here, Milly," he said decidedly.
"You are too tired to start on that long
Journey. As your brother's closest
friend I cannot permit It I am ex
ceedingly hungry. May I have the
pleasure of your company to luncheon?
I would greatly enjoy it, and if you
find it so distasteful to eat at my ex
pense why, you may liquidate your
share. Only let us have it together."
Mildred's face was burning. She was
seized with a strong desire to shake
the aggravating smile from the teasing
face beside her.
"I I don't cam for anything to eat"
she fibbed defiantly. "The only thing I
flesire at present Is solitude.!'
"I am really not nsking much. Mil
dred, i'ou lunch without a thought
With dozens of other fellows. Why not
with uie?"
"I must draw the line somewhere,"
she answered coldly.
"So you draw It just In front of your
brother's chum! Poor old Tom! He'll be
cut up when I tell him. for be asked
me particularly to have an eye on you.
Do you remember when he first
brought me home wuh him at the end
of our freshman year? You had short
Bklrts and curls then, and 1 called you
MHIy as a matter of course. You rath
er liked to lunch with me in those days,
Mildred."
Mildred flushed uncomfortably.
"Well, If you insist upon my leaving
you" he rose as he spoke "of course
I must but I'll be writing to Tom to
night, and I'm afraid he'll take It hard
when he hears that you have shaken
me this way. 1 never told of that
other business, but be may as well
know now."
Mildred arose.
"Then If you'll promise not to do
that why, I'll I'll take luncheon with
you, and you may pay for it." She
finished miserably, gulling down her
pride with an effort

Under the combined influences Of
much needed refreshment and a thor
oughly congenial companion sh re
vived rapidly, and before she was
aware of it all her chilly constraint
was gone, and they were laughing and
chaffing each other just as in the dear
old days of,bon camaraderie.
When they left the restaurant, they
strolled down to the lake, where they
rested luxuriously on the soft grassy
bank.
"I really should go now," said Mil
dred regretfully at last. "Aunt Urania
will be distracted."
Then suddenly she remembered what
for the last two hours she had merci
fully been permitted to forget She
flushed scarlet but with a light laugh
said carelessly, with her eyes on the
lake:
"I I met with a little mishap this
morning, Mr. Gaveston. I wonder if
you would do me a great favor for
Tom's sake. I lost my purse, and un
less you can lend me a dollar I am
afraid I shall have to stay here all
night."
"Why, what a shame!" said Gaves
ton gravely. "I happened to find some
money today, and I shall be delighted
to pass it on."
As he spoke ho plunged his hand into
one of his many pockets and flrew
forth a silver belt bag. Mildred selzsd
it with a little cry. 'Why, it's mine!"
Then, fixing him suddenly with a stern,
accusing, indignant eye, she went oa
rapidly: "And you knew it, for it's the
one Tom commissioned you to buy for
me, and when you said I might pay my
share of the luncheon you knew that
I had not one cent with me! Just to
humiliate me you deliberately invei
gled me into accepting charity at your
hands when"
And she jumped to her feet and turn
ed away, her eyes brimming with tears.
But Gaveston was at her side in an In
stant and, laying a gentle hand on her
arm, said pleadingly:
"Wait a minute. Milly. I did know it
was yours, I'll confess, dear. I saw It
fall, but just as It reached the iground
It bpened, and something popped out of
it something that encouraged me to
think that perhaps if I could get yon
to speak to me and to let me speak to
you it might help to plead my cause
again, for we haven't forgotten, either
of us, and it is absurd to pretend that
we have. But if you don't really care,
even a little, why do you still carry
this?" And he opened his hand, In1
which lay a little silver rimmed por
trait of himself.
Mildred made a last attempt at frigid
dignity. "I carry It" she began, with!
her head In the air.
"Look at me while you tell me, dear,"
he said, turning her face to him as
they stood in the screening shadow of
a friendly tree. Her dignity vanished;
suddenly.
"Because I do care," she finished
weakly, with a little catch In her voice,
"have cared ever since I first saw you.
do care still and always shall!"
Poor Richard' Almanac.
Dr. Franklin himself in one of the
last numbers of the almanac gathered
together all the best sayings of Poor
Richard, which for twenty-five years
had amused and edified the country.
These sayings ore in constant use at
this day.
For example: "Early to bed and early
to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy
and wise;" "Drive thy business; let it
not drive thee;" ''Ilelp hands, for I
have no lands;" "No gains without
pains;" "Constant dropping wears away
stones;" "Three removes are as bad as
a fire;" "He that by the plow would
thrive himself must either bold or
drive;" "A fat kitchen makes a lean
will;" "Experience keeps a de,ar school,
but fools will learn In no other."
It was such homely maxims as these
Inserted in all the little gaps of the al
manac that made it so popular. Frank
lin said be sometimes sold 10,000 copies
in a year, a wonderful sale for that
day. The first number of Poor Rich
ard's Almanac appeared in 1732.
Woman.
Woman, the gentlest of all creatures,
is apt to become masterful and even
tyrannical, this because she is a crea
ture in whose composition emotion dom
inates, and emotion, when highly stim
ulated, becomes passion, and passion
spurns all reasonable limitation and be
comes tyrannical. Besides, there are
women with more than ordinary firm
will and persistent purpose; these, when
winged by the passion which is natural
to the sex, become intolerant, masterful
and more tyrannical than men. Quali
fication to the intense action of the Im
passioned, soul Is treachery, "and con
tradiction is treason. Like a stormy
wind they will have their sweep and
ignore all contraries. And from this
predominance of the emotional element
It seems plain that though she may try

Old Time Moon Bllefi.
It was to the moon the farmer looked
for indications of the weather. If the
new moon lay well on its back, it was
a sign of dry weather, but If it tipped
to such an extent that a shot pouch
wouldn't hang on the lower horn you
might depend upon the water pouring
out
The time of changing bad a good
deal to do with the weather, but there
was a lack of agreement upon this
point; but it was generally conceded
that a change before noon or before
midnight indicated fair weather. A
circle or halo around the moon was a
sure Blgn of rain, and the number of
stars visible within the circle indicated
the number of days before the rain
would come.
