A Little Preach
About Linens
When we commenced, twenty-two years ago, our
ANNUAL CLEARANCE SALES
And offered everything In our stock at bona fide reduced prices, Port
land people found quickly that these sales were the best opportunities
to Buy household linens. In order to furnish our customers with the
best goods and at the very lowest possible prices, we carefully sought
out the best source of linen supply, and today we wish to state why we
arranged for the Portland Agency for
Richar
Wherever any line of merchandise has acquired unusual prominence
there must be some good reasons. Let us tell you why Richardson's
linens stand at the head, both for quality and low price:
QUALITY
They are made in Belfast,
Ireland, which supplies
nine-tenths of all the linen
goodssoid in America. They
are made by a family of
linen -makers who have
given the lives of five gen
erations and over one hun
dred years of earnest effort
to acquire the highest skill
in linen making. They have
been proven by every test
that a century's wear in
every civilized country on
the "globe can give. They
have taken first honors at
every world's exposition
where they have ever been
exhibited, including the late
Paris exposition. They are
permeated with a sterling
honesty that knows no other
standard but the best, and
seeks no recognition except
for merit. Such goods you
may buy with feelings of
absolute safety.
COPPER RIVER MINERAL
RICH COPPER, GOLD AND SILVER
LEDGES REPORTED.
Roads Belnp Built to Get Ore Oat of
the Country Hallvruy Scheme
From the Coast.
D. S. Kaln. .of Portland and Salem,
who went to Alaska -with the great Cop
per River rush In the Spring of 1S3S,
stayed with the country, and has come
out the gainer. Of the more than 4000
men who landed at Port Valdez, In that
rush not more than 300, It is estimated,
remained to make anything like a thor
rough examination of the country. The
others found the hardships more than
they had expected, saw no gold gleaming
In the glaciers, turned back home, and
said It was a bitter fake cooked up by
the transportation companies. Those who
stayed are said to have struck fortunes,
though steps to open the country are but
just beginning.
Kaln and John M. Sweeney went to
Copper River together. While crossing
the glacier that separates Port Valdez
from the river they fell in with several
others known as the McClellan party.
This party proved congenial, and all
hands pooled their issues, and resolved to
prospect the Copper River country thor
oughly for minerals. The central point
of their operations was about the Junc
tion of the Chlttyna with the main Cop
per River, the Chltyna being denominat
ed a branch, though it is really larger
than tho stream which It Joins. They
found the region to be rich in minerals
copper, gold and silver. There was no
placer gld in that section, but a num
ber of vory -valuable ledges were located,
and. after working three seasons, the
McCIellan party owns 30 fine claims, and
61 per cent of another was sold to San
Francisco men for JJO.000. About half, of
this sum was spent last Summer In
building a road and opening the ledge,
and at least as much will be spent this
year.
The trail, from the junction of the riv
ers to Port Valdez, is about 60 miles
long, and by no means difficult to travel.
Horses are used on It, and they can drag
out considerable loads. The Government
has surveyed a route across the country,
and has men engaged In building a good
road. A surveying crew representing
some railway company has been at work
on a line from Swanport. a landing on
the south side of the inlet, opposite Val
dez, over to the Copper River Valley, and
Into the interior, and It is said that a
railroad will be built there, probably
this year. A large wharr Is under con
struction at Swanport. The Burlington
Railway people are said to be behind the
railroad movement there, and to be build
ing the wharf for the landing of materials
and equipment for a Copper River Rail
road. Several hundred pounds of ore were
brought down last Fall by Kaln for more
accurst tests than had been practica
ble atihe claims, and the results were
quite up to expectations. The ores ran
from 36 to ST per cent copper, from $2.59 to
$57 in gold, and from 11 to 20 ounces in
silver to the ton. The finest looking
specimen of the lot. though not the rich
est, came from a claim named The Ore-
dson's
rish Linen
LOW PRICE
In order to secure the great
est economy in making linens,
the Richardsons perform every
one of the numerous details
necessary to linen manufac
turingfrom the raw flax fiber
to the finished product, and
operate the largest linen plant
in the world. It uses over six
hundred acres of land and em
ploys over 5000 operators in
its spinning, weaving, bleach
ing,dyeing and finishing works,
and every part of the linen fiber,
from the dainty sheer lawn to
the heavy, coarse tailor's can
vas, it is most carefully- used,
which prevents all the waste
that occurs in factories that
produce but few things in lin
ens. To avoid all further ex
pense, our orders are given
direct to the factory. After
they are packed in Ireland
the cases are next opened
in our house- These are reas
sons why the prices of Rich
ardson's linens are lower
with us than the equal quality
can be had elsewhere for.
There are no other linens sold
in Portland on the same eco
nomical basis. It may be inter
esting to linen buyers to know
that every yard of two other
prominently mentioned brands
of linen sold in Portland pass
through the Richardson works.
Their own plants performing
but a part of the work of linen
making on account of lack of
facilities. Can their prices be
other than high after paying
first a profit to Richardson?
gonlan, which gives assays of 34 per cent

to tne ton. There Is no question about
the mineral wealth of the country, but it
depends lor its availability largely uoon
the means of transportation. When the
projected railroad shall be built there will
be a great boom.
The McCIellan party took horses Into
the Copper River Basin, and wintered
them without difficulty on native food.
Wild grasses grow nearly six feet tall,
and It Is an easy matter to put up hay
for stock. Vegetables grow to maturity.
even without cultivation. The first sea
son the McCIellan party sowed seeds of
various vegetables, but their business of
prospecting did not permit them to re
main and cultivate the plants. Happen
ing back at the end of the next season
they found quite a volunteer crop. Mr.
Kaln says the country can be made to
raise its own produce, and that it is
quite a habitable region.
Farther up the Copper rich placers
were discovered last year, and many of
the miners cleaned up fortunes. Prepar
ations have been made for considerable
developments this year, and It is expected
that the country will soon recover from
the evil reputation the first flood of dis
appointed argonauts gave it.
CAUSE OF THEIR FEUD.
Hovr Clark: and -Daly First Became
Enemies.
"The old feud which has caused nearly
all Montana to take sides will now die
out and be forgotten with the death of
Marcus Daly and the election of Clark
to the United States Senate," said E. H.
Gnose, a resident of Butte, who was in
the city yesterday. "Daly's heir is a boy
of 15. now at school, so he will not care
to perpetuate hostilities, and as Clark Is
Anally Senator, he will have no object in
fighting Daly's interests.
"Clark has been trying to get Into the
Senate for the past eight years," Mr.
Gnose continued, "but Daly had a grudge
against him. and. being a better organ
izer, made It very Interesting for Clark,
In spite of the latter's millions. Both
were Democrats, and each was Immense
ly wealthy, and everybody In Butte and
Anaconda had to be either a Clark man
or a Daly man. The trouble originated
some years ago, when Daly desired to
purchase a water-right for 12000. but Clark
offered 15000 for it and got it. Then -he
demanded 1100,000 of Daly for the right,
and Daly had to pay it, as he could not
work his mines without it. Then Daly
swore he would get even, and as Clark
aspired to the United States Senate,
Daly's chan.ee soon came.
"Clark never would have achieved his
object had Daly lived, and Daly would
have lived for 20 years yet but for sub
stituting extra dry champagne for the
more healthful 40-rod whisky sold In
the Montana mining towns. Rich living
brought on Bright's disease, and so Daly.
at the age of 5S, .was obliged to succumb
to the Inevitable and let Clark perfect a
life-long scheme." .

AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY
Father of the Free Museum Praises
What He Saw on a. Visit.
Colonel Li. L. Hawkins has just returned
from a trip to Eugene, where he went to
look through the University of Oregon
and visit Professor Condon, and especially
to examine the museum, which he found
to be very fine and very valuable, as fur
nishing splendid working specimens for
teaching. He listened to a lecture of Pro
fessor Condon for an hour, In which free
use of the specimens were made by way
of illustration. Mr. Hawkins was much
impressed with the usefulness of these
specimens In connection with studying
the geology of the Northwest. He was
also much pleased with the earnest and
studious deportment of the students, both
young men and young women, and their
courteous manner to the Professor, which
evinced the respect they had for him and
their Interest In their studies. He spent
some time with Professor Washburn, Pro
fessor McAllister, and Miss Carson, and
was delighted with the earnestness, en
ergy and Interest they displayed In their
work, and only regrets that he had not
time to visit other members of the fac
ulty. In Professor Condon's department,
where he spent most of his time, he was
sorry to seo that the Professor was se
verely handicapped on account of lack of
room for his numerous specimens. They
were literally piled one over the other,
and much of his valuable time was
wasted In replacing and rearranging spec
imens nfter his lecture was over. If he
had more room in which to display his
collection, so that he might be able to
Illustrate points In his lectures by groups
of appropriate specimens, without hav
ing to handle so many over and over. It
would be a great advantage to all con
cerned. So fully is the space In Professor
Condon's lecture room occupied by his
specimens that he had actually to divide
his class Into two and deliver two separ
ate lectures, and had there been more
room he could have worked to much
better advantage.
Mr. Hawkins says that if the members
of the Legislature could spare the time to
visit the University of Oregon and see
the excellent work which is being carried
on there and tho earnest, hard-working
students who are seeking to utilize the
educational advantage afforded them,
they would gain a high appreciation of
the Institution, and be well repaid for the
time spent.
One of the principal objects of Mr.
Hawkins visit to Eugene was to exam
ine the museum there, and compare it
with the City Museum, and see In what
way they could be benefitted by exchange
of specimens and what duplicates the City
Museum might have which could be sent
to the university museum.

STOLE FROM HIS GRANNY.
Colored Ind Who Thinks He Is Not
a Bad Boy.
When Frank Taylor, colored, 16 years
old, stood up In tho Police Court yester
day, to answer a charge of stealing from
his grandmother, 'he grinned and said: "I
don't think I'm a bad boy, and I want
to go home."
"How much money did you steaj during
the whole of last year?" asked .the
Judge.
"About 65 cents," answered the boy,
composedly.
Mrs. Palmer, the boy's grandmother,
sold that Frank seemed to have an in
clination to do wrong, and tfiat he had
been sent to the Reform School for a
short time. The case was continued until
today.

PULTON'S APPOINTMENTS.
Answer to Charges That He Was Un
fair in Selecting Committees.
State Senator C. W. Fulton, president
of the Oregon upper house, speaking to
an Oregonian reporter yesterday concern
ing the charges that he was unfair in
committee appointments, said:
"Yes, I know some persona are trying
to make it appear that I have been unfair
in my committee appointments. I fully
understand the source and purpose of the
charge, but the public is not Interested
in that. It is charged that never before
was a ways and means committee ap
pointed without the opposite political par
ty being represented thereon. Yet, at the
session of 1S98 and the session of 1899, ev
ery member of the Senate committee on
ways and mean9 was a Republican. It is
complained that in committee assign
ments I have treated Senator Howe, my
opponent, ungenerously. Senator Howe
makes no such charge. On trie contrary,
he has stated to me that he Is well
pleased with his committee assignments.
And surely he well may be, for he has
been most liberally treated. He Is 'chair
man of two of the most important com
mittees of the Senate, namely, the com
mittee on counties and the committee on
revision of laws, while he is a member of
three other committees, namely, com
merce and navigation, claims, and game.
Only three members of the Senate are on
five committees, and he is one of the three.
Every committee of which he is a mem
ber is an important committee. The re
vision of laws committee Is an exception
ally Important one, ranking next to the
judiciary and ways and means commit
tees. The committee on counties and tho
committee on commerce and navigation
are both exceptionally important commit
tees. As I have said, Senator Howe knows
ho has been treated well, and makes no
complaint. I only make this statement
in order that his friends may know the
truth. Senator Howe is a warm personal
friend of mine and a gentleman for whom
I entertain the most high regard.
"As further evidence of the untruth of
the charge that only Senators who sup
ported me were appointed to leading com
mittees, I might instance the assignments
of several who opposed me, but I do not
think I would be justified In mentioning
individuals further, excepting that It Is
well known that Senator W. Tyler Smith,
Senator Howe's colleague, earnestly sup
ported my opponent, and very properly,
as they are both from the same county.
Yet if you will look over the committee
asslgnemnts, you will see that Senator
Smith is chairman of the committee on
roads and highways, one of -the leading
committees, and is a member of three
other committees, while some of my most
active supporters are on but three com
mittees. "It has been published, and, therefore,
I may mention the, fact that Senator
Stelwer supported Senator Howe, yet he
Is chairman of the committee on public
roads, and is a member of the committees
on assessment and taxation, enrolled bills
and revision of laws.
"The best position cannot, of course, be
given to all, but as presiding officer I can
and will treat all with equal courtesy and
consideration, and with perfect fairness."
PROPOSED XEW CHARTER.
Promise That It Will Be Finished
and Submitted Tonight.
It Is promised by those who have the
new city charter in. charge that the bill
will be finished tonight and submitted "to
the Multnomah delegation, which will be
called together for the purpose of con
sidering it. It is further promised, pro
vided tho bill be approved, that it will

Mays, of the Multnomah delegation, says
that .men ha.vebeen engaged throughout
