EXPLODING A THEORY
At the begtaalag- of the 10th century the Freach Acad
emy of Sciences offered a prize to the ftrst person who
solved the following; problem t
If yon take a vase fall of water and pnt n stone or any
similar body In it, the water will flow over. If, however,
you put Into It a fish, the volume of which Is equal to
that of the stone, It will not flow over. Explain this
phenomenon.
Unfortunately, however, one savant, more skeptical
than the rest, discovered that the fish-filled vase over
flowed as well. So another theory was exploded.
Deserving a similar fate Is the theory that n cash store
can undersell a credit one nsinir the word "credit" in
the "monthly settlement" sense. Sce-me about It.

up to the magnificent $50 creations All go in at exactly half the
regular prices. On Saturday at closing time we put on a force of
movers and forward march to the New Millinery Salens, where wo
open iMonday In the Sixth-Street Annex. In the Spring of 1892
we opened the business in present quarters In a department 26x50
feet. Present quarters cover over 4000 square feet and the busi
ness has outgrown it. The Increase of business alone in this
section this year has already reached nearly $40,000. Doesn't
this speak In no uncertain tone of superlative merit? We're
proud, indeed, of this millinery business and give it better sur
roundings next week In the new West Annex. Meanwhile, for
the closing days of the week, today and tomorrow, we'll give
the old department the grandest crowding in its history by
offering

as though all Portland has
been served; if, however,
there are yet some remaining

selves with these magnificent

serve them. But for the bal
ance of the week we want to
urge the Importance of at
tendance upon OUT - OF
TOWN FOLK. It will pay
to plan a special trip to Port
land to attend this sale.
Think of saving $50 on a $100
evening gown, wrap or cos
tume, or $100 on a $200 value
of the same; that's just what
you do when you buy these
same here this week and
our regular prices, at all
times, are lower than else
where in all the West for the
same qualities to say naught
of the exclusive styles ob
tainable only at this store.

tative expression of Fashion's

Dr. Depew's
Warning Heeded!
PURSUIT OF WEALTH
ABANDONED!
Senator Depew of New YoTk
recently warned young men
not to pursue wealth, but
"higher and nobler ideals":
which evoked the retort that
"man would look well going
to do his family marketing
with a bunch of high and
noble ideals as collateral? '
Look well he might, but how
he would feel we can only
conjecture.
In making the absolutely
matchless offerings printed
in this announcement, we
are certainly not pursuing
wealth, and possibly some of
those "higher and nobler
ideals" are the ends in view.
Be that as it may, it calls for
mighty little collateral to
obtain these values in sev
eral cases about half the or
dinary quantity.
