Shoulder yoke and sleeves are joined with hemstitching, and hemstitching is used to ornament cuffs. THE REASON THROUGH the co-operation of several hundred good stores with a maker of fine Jilouses are the remarkable values possible. The orders were placed by the re tailers early permitting the manufacturer in turn, to then place his order with the Mill, and both because of his large quantity purchase and the time at which pur chase was made, the price paid for the Silk represented a tremendous saving. Then, too, the method of manufacture greatly reduced the making 'cost and tho selling Co: ts were entirely eliminated. All of these saving- have gone into the Waists and the priceR quoted are radically under what the Waists would sell for if bought in the usual way. Remember: There's justa limited number tobe sold at these prices M M y NO. 1272 PRICE $3.50 Tucks on varying -widths; crepe covered ball buttons on front and cuffs, and hem stitching unsparingly used, give tone and character to this very desirable model.

Building activity through out the county has been very marked this year and in this line our busi ness has been decidedly better than it has been. During each month of the present year there has been a com mercial increase, we have enlarged our stocks and added new lines during the year to keep up with the business progress. The fact that the year has been notable for the new building un dertakings is evidence that conditions are very good. Our outlook upon the future is expressed in the fact that we are preparing to build new docks and warehouses on our property here at a great expenses. We are confi dent of improvement." Frank Busch, owner of the Busch store. "Automobiles are a good guage of prosperity. We are selling automo biles faster than, we can get them in and have orders in advance of our greatest supply at present. This has been an exceptionally good year in the sale of small and large cars, "Our business is growing steadily this year it has made rapid strides. When farmers and residents of the city alike buy automobiles there must really be prosperity." R. E. Park, manager, the Pacific Highway Garage. "I am enthusiastic as a result of the business transacted in this store with in the past year. The business has been better this year than at any time since its establishment in Oregon City. We draw a large trade from out side the city and a large local trade, which indicates, to my mind, the general condition of the cpunty. The business is consantly growing and I faithfully believe that the pros pects for continued improvement are most excellent." J. C. Cochran, man ager, C. .C Store. BANNER FAIR OF DECADE TO CLOSE (Continued from Page 1) 11 I PARTY POLITICS RIFE AT BANQUET (Continued from Puge 1) women are not for Wilson. I discov ered that throughout the state. 1 haven't found a single progressive who isn't for Hughes." And, listen! W. L. Tooze, Sr., said this: "The Hughes candidacy is the an swer to a psychological call from the hills, mountains and valleys of the United States." Tooze was followed by A. E. Clark, whose oratory was tho most interesting part of the ban quet program. Clark said, without thought of or reference to the Tooze speech: "Psychology is a mighty poor sub stitute for a square meal." And "Billy" Wilson, staunch and brave old republican that "Billy" Wil son is, was sound asleep. The sheriff heard Mr. Tooze tell of the psycho logical candidate, and heard the aud ience applaud the statement, but hi dreamed of chicken thieves and cattle rustlers during the applause that greeted refutation of the value of psy chology. While the good republican, Wilson, was asleep, then, we learned that Hughes was a psychological can didate and that psychology was n mighty poor substitute for a square meal. Sadly laughable. A. E. Clark, lawyer, proved himself un orator of rare talent. 1 ho ban queters, except those who cringed low in their seats from the shame of the ostracism Hint they felt, cheered Clark long and heartily after his long and hearty speech. They almost called him to his feet a second time their greeting was so continued and noisy. Clark expressed the same contempt for his fellow citizens who are demo crats as did tho governor of the state and other speakers. He made several good republicans lower the center of their gravity as they slid down into their chairs, ashamed. "Democrats are non-partisans," said Clark. "There are independent democrats, free trade democrats, sing le tax democrats and Lincoln demo crats. The annexation of Lincoln, in the light of history, was some achieve ment for democracy. Our criticism of the democratic party may not reach democratic intelligence, but we shall continue to criticize. The democratic party platform writers are verbally the most militant people in the world." And then came more applause as W. C. Hawley, congressman at Wash ington from this district, took the floor to talk about the Mexican situation, a subject with which he was sadly unfamiliar. During his speech those republicans who had not joined the democrats in the rows that blushed to know that such speakers had profaned the term "Americanism," and who sullied tho honor of the nation by displaying their contempt and uttering their scorn of their fellow citizens those who still listened heard the Honorable W. C. Hawley say this: "American steel and ammunition murdered women and destroyed chil dren in Mexico." As an honest and honorable Amer ican citizen; as a man or women with the thought in your mind that the American flag was a most sacred em blem! with the patriotism in your blood that has been instilled through life in the shadow of that starry ban ner; instilled there by the teaching's of your patriotic mother and father before you the people who fought our battles that the union and the brotherhood of man might be supreme in the United States as such a per son, would you glory in the murder of women and children by American arms and aiuunition? Yet, the professional politicians nt the banquet on Saturday night did that very thing. The ap plause following Hawley's remark was like the thunder of tho heavens. These people seemed to glory with the enthusiasm of fiends, at the wondrous accomplishment of American arms and ammunition. The speaker blamed Woodrow Wil son personally for the existence be yond the border of arms and ammu nitions of American manufacture. But his audience did not cheer when Hawley said Wilson was culpable. They cheered loud and long when h- said that women and children had been murdered and destroyed by weapons from the Winchester Arms company. Such glorilicntion would make the weakest patriot cover his face in shame. But, from these statements, made by the professional politicians assem bled in banquet Saturday evening, one can gather the spirit of the meeting. It was a spirit so un-American, so un-patriotic, so inhuman, that we felt almost antagonistic as these speak ers, who had tarnished the glory of the nation's flag, who had torn at the foundations of a republic' with their anarchistic remarks, stood up about the tables as the orchestra struck into the honorable yet unhonored strains of "Tho Star Spangled Banner." Finis: If the Hughes campaign rec ognizes the republicanism of the Clackamas County Republican Cen tral committee orators, then we, as American citizens, mindful of the pat riotism of our forefathers whose life blood welded all people together in this nation as brothers and sisters un der one flag, and a president regard less of his personal politics to steer the ship of state, we can have little respect for the Hughes campaign. PRESENT BRIGHT, FUTURE ASSURED (Continued from Page 1) builds up the business of the city and county," L. Adams, head of the Ad ams Department store. "We have by far more consumers of electrical energy than we have ever had in this territory. I am positive that business generally is better than it ever has been during the time I have been in the community. The use of electrical energy is a business cri terion. In the lean years the electric service is one of the first to feel tho slump and when real prosperity ar rives it is the barometer that tells the story. The story today is that this company serves more consumers than it ever did and each day is adding new ones who have put off the electrifica tion of their homes and stores in wait ing for just these conditions. The trade in appliances is also better and serves to indicate the general condi tions because these things have gen erally been considered as luxuries. The outlook, by these tokens, is fine." George E. Sullivan, local agent, P. R., L. & P. Co. "As for the bank I cannot make a comparison with the business of last year. Otherwise I am certain that the present will show a marked increase) over last year and I know that other business men find it so. I have ev ery confidence that the future is bright. A steady and permanent im provement is already showing." John R. Humphreys, cashier, Bank of Com merce. "Business is good. We are work ing for good business. Work always produces business. At pre?nl condi tions are very good much better than last year and the outlook is better than it has been at any time in the past five years." S. A. Dillman, part ner in the firm of Dillman & How land. "We have had a better business this The art department offers a collec tion of hand-painted china, water col ors and photographs.

Lovell of the state tax commision is working in the court house here today on a plan to derive the true valuation of the lands and properties in Clackamas county. The true valuation is determined to a rea sonable degree of certainty by com paring the price of lands and property mentioned in deeds with the figures of the county assesor's assessment. This method gives the percentage of true cash value. Other ways of as certaining the owners' valuation are found and compared with the assess or's figures so that the resulting val ues are as nearly correct as they can be made.
