We put Quality first, and so we offer you no goods so
cheap that we cannot unqualifiedly guarantee them.
(J 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.
(jf So not as a matter of duty or pride to a home store
do we ask your business, but only on the basis of
Quality, Prices and Service. Come in and look ever
our big stock, get our prices, consider the quality and
then if you can do better elsewhere it is your duty to
do so.

WOMEN ROAD WORKERS.
Philippine Females Do as Much Work
as th Men on Highway.
One would hardly think that a wo
man could ever outwear a mnn when
It comes to heavy road work, but such
Is neverthelosK the case In the Phil
ippines. In the construction of the
Paoay-Currimao road It is recalled that
at one time there were approximately
500 women and girls employed dally,
notes the Engineering News. These
feminine workers, receiving from 20 to
25 or 35 centnvo per day. according
to their strength and ability, are most
efficient when materinls for subgrade.
surfacing or gravel and sand for con
crete are to be carried a short dis
tance. They tie tip their skirts or
"pandllng" to be less hampered as
they work and wield shovels, load,
carry and empty their baskets with,
a teal that outclasses the men.
In the construction of subgrade,
raoay-Currimao road. It was required
to haul material about oue-balf a kilo
meter at one point This was accom
plished with women workers. Men
loaded the baskets at the borrow pits.
They are carried on the heal
As may be imagined, there is con
siderable talking done a the work pro
gresses, especially in the afternoon,
when the women begin to tire. On
conerete work women are used to ad
vantage carrying sand, gravel and wa
ter. They are not strong enough to
mix concrete for any length of time,
so men are employed for that purpose.
The 8ecret of England's Fine Road.
"What must impress every visitor to
England," said a man who had Just re
turned from that country recently, "is
their wonderful country roads and city
streets. Although I did considerable
touring. 1 did not find a siugle country
road nearly as rough as our own city
boulevards, and the pavements of Lon
don are Just as fine, although the traf
fic is very much heavier than in any
of our cities. It does not appear that
the English build much better street
paveajeuts and roads thau we do. The
secret seems to be In the fact that they
take care of them. Most of tho streets
in London are paved with creosoted
block, and as soon as a small hole or
depression appears anywhere there is
a man on the Job repairing it. They
follow up these slight Imperfections
Immediately with small repair gangs
and outfits. A little fence Is put around
the bad spot, and with their tiny kits
of tools and materials the men quick
ly replace the blocks with fresh ones
or relay them with new foundations.
In a short time there Is no indication
of any break In the absolute smooth
ness of the pavement, and only the
fresh tar reveals the fact that the
pavement has been repaired. In this
way there Is no chance for a pavement
or a country road to get Into such a
condition that It finally has to be re
luld. and this method also save a
great deal of money."
