Firemen Rexpond Quickly and Do Effective "Work Foreman Carl Rynn Received Broken Rib. The Portland Social Turn "Vereln build ing, at the northeast corner of Fourth nnd Yamhill streets, narrowly escaped de struction in a $6200 blaze -which broke out last night, and it was owing to the hard work of the firemen that the fire was sub dued in time. The total insurance is about 53500. Carl Ryan, foreman of Truck No. 2, fell against a beam in Turn Halle and one of his ribs is broken. The origin of the fire was the upsetting of a gasoline lamp in Norgard & Pettereon's tailoring store, 260J4 Yamhill street, under Turn Halle. It was about 6:40 o'clock last night when the gasoline lamp fell and broke In Nor gard & Pettereon's store, and Mr. Nor gard ran around the corner to fire bead quarters on Fourth street and yelled 'FIre!" An alarm was sent out from box No. 132, a.nd when the firemen arrived at the scene angry flames were sweeping from the tailors' etore to the stage of the Turn "Vereln. Several streams of water checked the blaze after a hard fight, but in the meantime the scenery on the stage suffered heavily from water, also the ceil ings and walla, which are artistically fres coed. Foreman Ryan was working to pre vent the scenery catching fire, and in crossing the outside of the stage he missed his footing and fell across a beam, where he was grasped just in time by Otto Schumann, else he would have fallen Into the stage pit, six feet below. Ryan was taken to his home at Fourth and Mill streets. The Turn Halle saloon, operated by Kirchner & Hanno, escaped both water and flame, but the smoke caused about 5100 damage to the walls and celling. Nor gard & Pettereon's store was gutted, and the loss here Is about $3000, partially cov ered by $1500 insurance. Next door, at Jacob Schwind's shoe store, the water caused about $100 damage to leather and boots, but Schwlnd carried no Insurance. The Turn Halle Is owned by the Portland Social Turn Vereln, and about $2000 in surance is carried. Turn Halle was or ganized about 30 years ago, and the first building was shortly afterward destroyed by fire, but was promptly rebuilt. entire company witnessing the ceremony.

So, to offset the natural tendency to midwinter dullness to make this an economical store to reduce stocks to their lowest point before inventory we inaugurate first, THE GREAT CLEARANCE SALE; second, THE GREAT WHITE SALE Muslin Underwear.

P. Rummelln & Sons, 126 Second street, near Washington, came into exist ence. To be definite, the concern was established just 31 years ago. It was up to date then; it is the leader of fashion in fur apparel and fur goods now. A few years ago the Arm erected its own building- a front view of which is shown in the accompany ing illustration. All of its three floors and basement are occupied by the owners for manufacturing and salesroom purposes. There is innate comfort and sat lsfactlon In buying of or tradin with Rummelln & Sons. None the little deceptive artifices, intend ed to delude the patron, are em ployed or permitted. All of tne firm's business transactions are frank, open, above board and honest. Persons strangers to the quality or value of furs and fur goods, stand on an equal footing with the most expert. This is why people delight to trade at Rummelln's. Every body knows that the firm's gar ments and wares are always exact ly as represented, hence the very potent reason that a majority of Portlanders buy their fur goods there. Remodeling and repairing out-of-date or worn fure carefully attend ed to. Our dressing department .is equipped with the latest machinery. "We dress all kinds of furs. j 1 I a si tt M1 ii of i A ,
