We put Quality first and so we offer you no goods so
cheap that we cannot unqualifiedly guarantee them.
(f In the matter of prices we expect to meet any com
petition in this State. On account of our large buy
ing (for 4 stores) our prices are often lower than would
he possible for smaller dealers; on account of our low
er cost of doing business in Oregon City it is not pos
sible for Portland Stores to compete in prices in very
many lines.

do we ask your business, but only on the basis of
Quality, Prices and Service. Come in and look over
our big stock, get our prices, consider the qualityr and

WOMAN'S CLUB PLAY
The Greatest Comedy Drama Ever
Attempted by Home Talent
Strenuous rehearsals are now go
ing on almost nightly by an able cast,
so that "Ksmeralda", the famous
four-act comedy drama, will bo the
greatest sensation ever offered in
Oregon City, in the way of home tal
ent. In addition to the cast as pub
lished lust week Karl Lntourette
comes in the character of "Drew" the
speculator. This will add much to
the strength of the work.
The most able talent in Oregon
City has come to the aid of the worn
eii's club so that the play will be pre
sented with a view of professional ex
cellence. In addition to this Mr.
Ralph M. Karris, a professional ac
tor of high merit, is being brought to
Oregon City for the character of "Mr.
Rogers," a very delightful part which
he has played with great success. Mr.
Karris alone will be worth the price
of admission.
The comedy is so clean, and its
moral teachings so worthy, that many
churches and organizations of high
standing have supported it strongly
in nearly every city in which it has
been presented under the present
management. Such organizations as
Parent-Teachers clubs and societies in
neighboring towns are making prepa
rations to have seats reserved, some
taking whole rows.
The prices are moderate so they
will come within the range of the
humble pocketbooks.
The woman's club is certainly to
be complimented for this unusual un
dertaking. The earnings will be spent
in civic improvements.

THE OLD SYSTEM A FAILURE
How long would a business cor
poration consider hiring as manager
a man who would spend three-fourths
or nine-tenths of his time at some
other business? And yet that is
practically what every city does that
hires a mayor under the old system.
If city affairs are worth anything
they are worth the attention of a
good man all the time." Medford

The salary of the mayor under the
present system is such that he cannot
possibly neglect his private interests
at all times to look afer the city un
less he is a multi-millionaire, and
then he has no business being at the
head of the city government. It is,
well to pay a decent salary and then :
let the head of the city affairs be en-!
tirely responsible for everything that
is done. We would no doubt ' be giv-1
en a much more satisfactory govern-1
ment At present most or us are
treating the sift horse pretty bad, be
cause the city officials now give their
time to the public and their reward
is mainly kicks and grunts. Cities as
well as individuals usually get just
what they pay for and no more, and
when they do, the average citizen
does not appreciate it Eugene

Blind Farmer Who Does Things.
Rufus J. Warren of South Bridg
ton, Me., is a blind farmer who suc
cessfully operates a seventy-five acre
farm. He keeps a dairy of ten or
twelve cows, some young stock and
hires all of the usual cropping work of
the farm. Mr. Warren's part of the
farm work Is to care for the live stock
and the building. He feeds and other
wise cares for the live stock without
any assistance whatever. He milks the
cows and climbs into the haymow and
throws down roughage. Recently Mr.
Warren installed a system of run
ning water from a spring into a house
and barn. The bouse overflow is the
barn supply. Another piece of work
done by Mr. Warren without aid of
any kind was the construction of
three horse stalls, which have the ap
pearance of being built by a carpenter
who understood the business. Cart
bodies, sled platforms and hayracks
used on the farm are his handiwork.
A hayrack made so that it can be
knocked down and stored away In a
small space Is one of his best achievements.
