If you'll visit our store during this sale you'll find hundreds and hundreds
of articles marked with a green tag. A green tag on an article means
that we are anxious to get rid of that particular article and that we are
going to sell it at a price utterly regardless of cost or value. Not that
there is anything wrong with the various articles on sale. But we have
made it an invariable rule never to carry goods over from one season
to another. Hence these extremely low prices on the very best of

SOUOHT HAT AND IS DROWNED.
While Intoxicated, Prank M. Ford, Steam
boat Man Loses Life.
Frank M. Ford, a local steamboat la
borer, waa accidentally drowned In the
Willamette river near the O. R. N.
Company'a dock in thla city about 10
o'clock Wednesday morning. The body
waa recovered about two hours later.
At the time of the accident, for aul
clde waa evidently not contemplated.
Ford waa Intoxicated and It waa while
attempting to recover hla hat. that he
waa drowned. The dead man came to'
Oregon City several years ago from Salem
and haa always worked as a laborer on
the different river steamers having; for
some time prior to his death been em
ployed on the Pomona. Tuesday even
ing he waa dismissed from th? boat be
cause of his intoxicated condition and
he waa again put off the same boat when
he tried to go aboard again Wednea
day morning, being atlll under the In
fluence of liquor. He returned to the
business district of the city and while
standing on the O. R. A N. Company'a
dock, the wind blew his hat Into the
river. He descended the ladder at the
wharf and in attempting to reach for the
hat. slipped and fell Into a deep hole
from which he waa unable to save him
self. He was seen to. enter the water
but disappeared before any- help could
reach him.
Ford was a young man about S3 years
of age and was unmarried. Suicide waa
not the purpose of the young man, evi
dently, for he had just Invested In a
new suit of clothes.' a pair of shoes and
hat.' presumably with the intention of
preparing to get other employment. He
had only five cents when the body waa
found.
Coroner Holman conducted an inquest
Wednesday afternon. the Jury returning
a verdict of death by' accidental drown
ing. The remains were given burial
here.
