O&BGONZASr 'KBWS BURSAlX VWash
ilaston, Sept. R. Major-Gen errJ. UacAr
rthur, oommaitainff the Division of the Pa-i-ciflc,
la his" annual report mafia public
'today, recommends the establishment of
a new Army post at some point ta the
"Willametta Valley, In Oregon, to accom
modate one 2nU regiment of cavalry. This
Is jart of a general plan he presents to
Increase the military iorca on the Pa
.ciflo Coast.
General MacArthur says the concen
ftratlon of political and economical inter
ests in the Pacific Ocean has enormously
magnified the military Importance of the
"West, and the continued rapid progress
of events suggests the expediency of an
scarry enlargement of military facilities
to meet the growing necessities of the
tPadfio Coast. The recommendation, with
regard to Oregon, is made with a view
to a full regiment of cavalry being di
vided between the Presido and Ord bar
racks, and another .regiment of cavalry
at the post above recommended, making
two full cavalry regiments for the Pa
cific Coast
General MacArthur suggests that leg
islative authority be obtained to classify
as mounted officers all Captains of in
fantry and artillery not now in the
mounted category. He says the exi
gencies of modern field work require so
much from a Captain of infantry that
he cannot possibly discharge bis duties
if he has to drag his body through the
exhausting efforts of a long march, as
after such a strain he is physically in
capable of supervising the attack forma
tions in extended order for a service com
pany of 100 men or more. Therefore,
precisely at a moment when his profes
sional skill is most needed, he Is least
effective. This arrangement would mean
a total increase in pay for the 620 officers
affected of about $9S,000.
General MacArthur says that "great
success attended the joint camp maneu
vers and field Instruction instituted in
the Department of the Columbia during
the month of July."
He closes his report by saying it is
pleasant to report a considerable decrease
in the number of desertions during the
year just closed as compared with the pre
ceding year.
FUNSTON .BACK FROM ALASKA
He Reports Posts and Soldiers in Ex
cellent Condition.
SEATTLE, Sept 6. Brigadier-General
Frederick Funeton, accompanied by his
aid. Lieutenant B. J. Mitchell, returned
tonight from Nome on the steamship Ore
gon. They have just completed a tour of
the Army posts In Alaska, with the excep
tion of Fort Ldscum. That post is being
inspected by Adjutant-General Major R.
K. Evans.
General Funston reports all the posts
and soldiers in excellent condition. He
will make no recommendations for further
post construction. The General will leave
Vancouver Barracks about October 1 to
assume command of the Department of
the Xokes.
Deeds for Land Near Navy-Yard.
SEATTLE, Sept 6. The Government has
filed the deeds conveying to it 25 acres
at the head of Ostrich Bay, near the navy
yard at Bremerton, for a naval magazine.
The cost was $14,343.15. In 1902 an appro
priation of ?30,000 was made for the site
and beginning of Improvements. A wharf
800 feet long is to be constructed first of
all.
GUESTS OF THJITED STATES.
Members of the Inter-Par! I amen tary
Union Take in West Point.
WEST POINT. N. T., Sept 6. The
members of the Inter-Parliamentary
: Union, a body comprising delegates from
'England and from every legislative body
in Europe, were the guests of the United
6tates today, when a tour of the coun
try began under the auspices of the Gov
ernment At the Military Academy, the
distinguished guests disembarked to the
firing of the National salute of 21 guns.
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Taylor, who represented the President
welcomed the visitors on behalf of the
Government The rest of the afternoon
was devoted to an examination of the
academy and a review of the cadets.
An interesting development of the day
was the disclosure of the fact that the
Inter-Parliamentary Union, at its forth
coming conference in.i3t 1x3 uls, -will un
dertake to adopt a resolution looking to
the calling of another International Ar
bitration Congress of the character of
The Hague. It is probable that President
Roosevelt will be asked by formal resolu
tion to issue a call.
The party departed tonight for New
York by special train.
PALLS TO MA7TF, ARCTIC? POINT
Steamer Carrying Coal to Ziegier Ex
pedition Is Spoken.
HAMMERFEST, Norway, Sept 6. The
Norwegian steamer Vlrcola which has ar
rived here, reports that she met the Zieg
ier relief expedition steamer Frlthjof, Aug
ust 27, in latitude 79 N., and longitude 52
E. The Frithjof up to that time had been
unable to reach Franz Josef Land.
The Frlthjof, having on board the Zieg
ier relief expedition which arrived at
Vardo, Norway, August 4, after an un
successful attempt to reach the steamer
America bearing the Zlegler Arctic ex
pedition party, sailed from Vardo, August
5 for Franz Josef Land with coal for the
America. The latter vessel sailed from
Trondhjem, Norway, for Franz Josef Land
on June 23, 1903.
This expedition was financed by William
Zelgler. Whether another effort will be
made Is not known.
1 PORTLAND'S QUALITY SHOP
"Juggling With Truth"
rue ciownisn antics 01 a
"Roycroft" juggler who han
dles the truth carelessly for a
local store, that flatters us in
superlative degree by con
stant and abject imitation in
. advertising, has won fresh
laurels for his classic (?)
brow note the "laurels" as
pictured above. The poor
fellow is kept constantly in
the air first on this tack,
then on that, to take the wind
from our sails and keep his
waterlogged old hulk off the
rocks. His latest was a
'"sheet and pillow case'sale."
This store advertised and sold
regular 75c sheets, with rein
forced centers no seams
90x90 in size, with a count of
80 threads to the inch, best
sheeting. Our famous "Econ
omy" sheets, for which, with
other good things, this store
is sole selling agent for Port
land, at 580 the sheeet.
Our clownish friend goj;
busy, hunted up a lot of
sheets sold regularly all along
Front street every day in the
week, at 60c, 81x9 0-inch
measurement, with a 60-thread-to-the-inch
count and
a thick, hard seam through
the center, for tired backs
to lie on, but no reinforced
centers, material of cheapest
Quality sheetinsr and adver
tised them in competition with our quality sheets at 58c, for 55c. Oome
in and see the sheets today, side Iby side, and judge if you save by paying
us 3 cento more per sheet, We ween you'll save money by spending it here.
Again: We advertised and sold a standard quality of Pillow Case,
made of a splendid quality round-thread sheeting, 45x36 inches in size,
best 15c values, special at 90 (more today). Our shadows got mixed on
the horses, took a tip from a tout and got left at the post, this way. They
run in competition with our winner some "badly used" pillow cases, 42x36
inches in size, made from what is termed "signwriters' muslin," filled
with starch and sizing, actual value 5c yard, and asked their patrons to
pay them 8c for them, when they could buy the 45x36-inch case here, made
of good sheeting, at 90. Honest Injunl
If our domestic buyer ever bought such trash as was exploited in com
petition with our sheets and pillow cases yesterday, and sent them to this
store at any price, he'd be asked to resign in favor of the bundle boy. But
everything has its use, and such incidents have their best use in demon
strating what real bargains really are and where they're always found at
the KEUABLE store of Olds, Wortman & King.'
Tha supremacy of this great store as a supply center for every need was never moro aptly shown than in
this week's offerings to its Public. Autumn suggestions abound in every section; representing and in
cluding everything that's correct, exclusive and modish in immense varieties and every worthy grade.
Our buying facilities, acknowledged superior to those of any other store in the Northwest, rivaled byx
only one on the Pacific Slope that in "Frisco" it's but natural that best values are the rule here.
As a fitting triumph of leadership we point to the economies mads possible by the prices of the SEP

wholesale moving. Every stock on the floor has to be moved about this month soon as the floor is laid in the new annex now we move many

AUTHORITATIVE FASHION SHOWS IN
THE GRAND SALONS OP DRESS. -
Second Floor.
This -week we moke large exhibition!;
of Autumn Gowns, Costumes, tailored
and demi-tailored. Dinner and Evening
lireases, dainty hand-made Evening
Waists. Dresa and Walking Skirts, tai
lored Street Suits, Theater and Carriage
Wraps, Tourist and Automobile Coats.
In short, Autumn attire in all the ap
proved styles of fashion's court. Hours
can be spent looking through the Suit
Section without exhausting the variety.
New styles are coming in dally. Great
care is taken to have no mora than one,
two or three suits of a pattern, thus af
fording the patronage of this store as
much exclusiveness as can be given by
custom modistes. Portland's leading store
is approaching her best this week, gain
ing readiness for early openings we've
spent months preparing for and "best"
here means something more than the
showing of swell things. It means ex
pert fitters and competent workmanship.
Though a necessary alteration may be
very slight. In unskilled hands .the de
sired effect is often lost. We have In our
employ, to guard against these defects,
the most experienced people. We guar
antee their work to be perfect not only
.satisfactory to you, but also to our
rigid requirements. No garment leaves
this store before it's right. And Olds,
"Wortman & King's exclusive and au
thoritatively correct garments cost no
more, nor so much, as their inferior re
plicas which help to swell the number of
express bundles sent out by New York's
East Side sweatshops to our shadows in
the Portland garment business. Portland
women folk know style, and quality, they
look below the gew-gaws and spangles
that cover tenement-house work, that's
why this house succeeds while others
languish, another reason why this has
become easily Portland's foremost store.
