Having bought our stock of Xmas Goods early, we obtained ex
ceptionally good cash discounts and by shipping by steamer around
the Horn we saved also considerable on freight rates. This saving we
intend giving our patrons the advantage of.
We are now displaying one of the largest and neatest Holiday
lines in the city.
Owing to our limited floor space, we are not able to show all we
have but "if you don't see what you want ask for it." We are sure to
have it. -
We want to call your attention especially to our fine showing of
faamed and unframed pictures. Hundred of subjects to pick from, nu
merous, pretty and novelty framees, handsome water colors, and at
pricer we will guarantee you can't equal.
We haven't room to mention . all the attractive presents we have in
store for you but want you to come in and see for yourself. Be free to
come when you please, and we'll see you are not urged to buy unless
you want to.

C. A. Ferguson, until a few days ago
an employee of the paper mills of this
city, was this week the victim of a
clever swindler by whose operations
he finds himself separated from $40,
practically jail of the money that he
possessed, besides being induced to
resign his position in the mills to ac-
cept a much more lucrative place that
was promised, me only equivalent
Ferguson has for the money out of
which he was buncoed consists of two
valises and a trunk, the property of
the confidence operator, which was'
seized immediately following the sud
den disappearance of the shark Mon
day morning when Deputy District At
torney, C. Schuebel began an investi
gation. The swindler gave the name
of Frank A. Hanscom and was accom
panied by a woman who passed as his
wife.
Ferguson came with his family to
Oregon from Iowa only a few weeks
ago and soon entered the employ of
I the paper mills at $2.75 per day. A
I bout &) month ago Ferguson formed
! the acquaintance of Hanscom, the fact
that the latter wore a Masonic embem
ten-ding to promote the friendship be
cause Ferguson belonged to the same
order. Being a smooth talker, Hans
com had little difficulty in interesting
his new found friend in a scheme for
purchasing one of the Krebs Bros,
hop yards near Salem for a considera
tion of $15,000. Having the appear
ance of being a man of some means,
Hanscom's statement that he had on
deposit in a Portland bank the funds
necessary for the purchase of the pro
perty, was readily accepted by Fer
guson who was promised the manage
ment of the ranch at good . wages.
The story sounded good to Ferguson
who immediately had visions of a fat
bank account, the result of a more a
greeable employment than his daily
labor at the mills.
But on Saturday the bunco artist
came to Ferguson with a hard luck
story and insisted that it was necessa
ry that he raise $40 at once; that he
could not wait until he went to Port
land where he might get it at the bank.
If Ferguson could loan him the money,
Hanscom promised to increase the
former's interest in the proposition
to that of part owner, at the same time
inducing his prospective victim to
resign his job at the mill. So plausi
ble did the proposal sound that Fer
guson produced the requisite amount
and received in return a due bill for
the- money advanced, and the assur
ance that the three would go to Port
land Monday and conclude the deal.
i On Sunday, however, Ferguson be
came dissatisfied and, suspecting that
all was not as it should be, the follow
ing morning brough the matter to the
attention of Deputy District Attorney,
Schuebel, who located Hanscom at
ni3 apartments. 'Hanscom agreed
to return the money to Fersruson hut
in a brief interview with the mill lab
orer, Hanscom was successful in con
vincing him that all was roiriiiai- iih
titwas agreed that the Portland trip
Biiouia oe maae. At this stage the
Deputy Prosecutor dropped the in
vestigation, after warning Ferguson
that he was going up against what
appeared to be a "sure thing." Fol
lowing the departure of the State's
prosecutor, Hanscom excused himself,
and failed to reappear. When Mrs.
Hanscom subsequently started for
the depot, Ferguson demurred and,
seizing the two valise from the wom
an, proceeded to the office of Deputy
District Attorney Schuebel through
whose assistance a trunk belonging to
the woman was also seized. After
some Darleying. the woman was re
leased on the promise that she would
go to Portland and locate her husband
for whom a warrant charging him
with obtaining money under false pre
tenses has been issued.
LOST BY VOTE OF 5 TO 4.
City Council Formally Disposes of O.
W. P. Francnise. v '
At a regular meeting Wednesday
evening." the City Council formally
disposed of the Oregon Water Power
& Railway Company's freight fran
chise ordinance. Following the read
ing of the Mayor's veto, Koerner
moved that the veto be sustained. This
motion was defeated by a vote or 5
to 4. Kelly, seconded by Justin, tnen
moved that the Ordinance be passed
notwithstanding the veto of the Mayor,
this proceeding being necessary to
regularly dispose of "the vetoed ordi
nance. The vote was & ior ana
against, and the ordinance was de
clared defeated since a two-thirds ma
jority of the council, or -seven, is re
quired to pass any ordinance over me
veto of the Mayor. The vote on the
Ordinance was: Ayes Brandt, Chap
man, Justin, Kelly and Mason. Noes
Knapp, Koerner, Straight and Will
iams. Ordinances levying taxes of three
and five mills for street Improvement
and general municipal purposes, re
spectively, were passed.
An extension of ninety nays, or nn
til March 30, next, was granted the
Southern Pacific -Company in which to
complete the improvements now being
made on Railroad Avenue. These im
provements in the original ordinance
were required to be completed by
January 1. but delay that- has been
experienced, in obtaining the steel
girders necessary for the construction
of the underground team and pedes
trian crossings at Third Street has
forced the railroad company to ask
for additional time. For the present
the improvements will be proceeded
with, skeleton work being supplied
for the steel girders which will be in
stalled immediately upon their arrival
without interrupting traffic at all.
T. L. Charman was unanimously
elected a member of the Board of Fire
Commissioners to succeed Jos Kuer
ton, resigned.
In connection with the franchise
matter, the bill of City Attorney
Franklin T. Griffith for $200 for legal
services in preparing the franchise
ordinance and defending the members
of the Council in the two injunction
proceedings that were brought to re
strain the Council from voting on the
ordinance, was referred to the com
mittee on finances.
The vote cast in Monday's city elec
tion was canvassed and the success
ful candidates, together with their re
spective majorities, were found to be:
Mayor, E. G. Caufield, 308; Treasurer,
Jack R. ,, Caufield, 65Councilmen
First Ward, ' Wm. Andresen 89 ; Sec

tion) 116.
This being the final regular meeting
of the old Council, there were exchang
ed the usual pleasantries between
Mayor Sommr and the members of
the Council, short talks being made by
several.

the early advantage of those, who, so
to speak, "have shingled their roofs
in dry weather." The virtue of prep

to us our greatest men. The-individ-ual
