ATOW, of course, you want to know the " whys and wherefores ' of this startling offering it's only human nature to want to know, and you're not going to be dis
iV appointed, for we've nothing to conceal, and besides there's no use "beating 'round the bush." We don't do business that way, so we're coming out
" square-toed " and give you the facts facts that lead up to this mastodontic sale. If the present quality standard of silks is maintained, manufacturers .will be en
titled to an advance of from S to 7V3 per cent. Raw silk is higher by 20 per cent than when we bought these silk stocks of ours. This organization is forehanded
anticipated the present condition of the silk market, sent its buyers in early to secure the new Fall Silks at the old prices, right off the looms. They bought lavishly,
made immense savings on a gigantic purchase AND THE SILKS ARE ON THE WA Y. But shelves and counters are loaded with Summer silks, storage is expen
sive, bothersome, undesirable. The dictator over the silk store takes hold of both horns of the dilemma and bests it this way: OUT WITH THE SILKS ! NO MAT
TER WHAT THE PRESENT LOSS MAY BE! And we inaugurate to a silk sale that will set all Portland and this Northwest country talking before it's five
hours old! It is an earnest, honest, determined effort, backed by a strenuous resolve to more than ever associate in the minds of women who think, and blend thoughts '
of style and thrift together, the name of " OLDS, WORTMAN & KING " and "SILKS " and " VALUES. "

tion was received with great applause.
President Hadley then announced the
total of the alumni fund of the year
as J126.237 against $53,500 a year ago.
Sir Chen Tuns; Liang Cheng, the
Chinese Minister, in thanking the uni
versity for bestowing a degree upon
him. said it would not only be a
source of sincere gratitude to the Em
peror of China, but a stimulant to
hondreds or even thousands of Chinese
students to come to Yale for an educa
tion. He said he would ever be proud
to be a son of Yale, If only an adopted
son. He looked ,upon Yale as a Na
tional institution, because "a Yale'
man practically runs the National Gov
ernment" (referring to Secretary Taft.
Among the honorary degrees bestowed
by Yale University at the commencement
exercises today were those of doctor of
laws on Sir Chen Tung Liang Chen, Chi
nese Minister at Washington, and Benja

test which , had been made, the hymn
"America" was substituted for the Lu

sions, the 27th commencement exercises

Now Defunct.
SALT LAKE CITY, June 27. It de
veloped today that the J1000 in bank bills

Survey of Coos Bay Will Probably
Be Provided for in the
Next Bill.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, June 27. Senator Fulton, with oth
er Pacific Coast Senators, has been flooded
recently with letters demanding the pas
sage through the House of the Fulton
resolution authorizing the survey of the
entrance of Coos Bay, with a view to pro
viding a 40-foot channel across the bar.
Senator Fulton again took the matter up
with Chairman Burton, of the House riv
ers and harbors committee, today, and
was told, as on previous occasions,
that the resolution will not now or here
after be reported.
Burton says it is absurd to talk about a
40-foot channel at Coos Bay. New York
harbor does not have that depth, and
Hamburg, Germany, one of the world's
greatest harbors, has only 32 feet. Bur
ton says Coos Bay has no population or
commerce to Justify a 40-fOot channel, and
for that -reason he never will consent to
such a survey. When the river and har
bor bill Is framed at the next session, the
survey of some reasonable channel may be
authorized.
Senator Fulton today brought about the
passage through the Senate of a bill cre
ating the United States District Court in
China, with a full complement of court
officials. Before adjournment the bill will
be signed. It having already passed the
House. This is the bill which J. H. Brown,
of Portland, has been pushing.
In the main conference on the pure-food
bill Fulton's amendment was adopted pro
hibiting misbranding of canned salmon.
After January 1 it will be unlawful to
mark and sell as Columbia River salmon
Public Building for Baker.
WASHINGTON. June 27. The Senate
public building committee today told Sen
ator Fulton it would agree to appropriate
J75.000 for a public building at Baker City,
15,000 to finish the grounds at Salem, and
probably give $6500 for Eugene. The com
mittee turned down the requests for build
ings at Oregon City and La Grande.
The- Secretary of the Interior has with
drawn from entry 12,000 acres in town
ships 1 and 2 north and south, ranees 15
and 16 east, for an additional reservoir for
the Umatilla irrigation project.
The House today passed Fulton's bill
authorizing the issuance of patents to
purchasers of grazing lands on the Uma
tilla Indian Reservation, whenever they
prove the lands are unfit for agriculture.
W. N. Barrett, of Hillsboro, appointed to
Annapolis Naval Academy by Senator
Fulton, has passed the entrance examinations.
Francisco will be a greater city in all
ways," he said. Mr. and Mrs. Spreckels

FAITH IN THE BAY CITY
Clams Spreckels Says It Will Bo
Greatest Port on Hemisphere.
CHICAGO, June 27. "San Francisco will
soon be Greater San Francisco in deed as
well as in name. Things have settled
themselves since our terrible disaster,
capitalists are putting their money into
rebuilding and enlarging and in beauti
fying, and the people generally are exer
cising a great degree of confidence In the
city's future prosperity."
Claus Spreckels, of San Francisco, who
with his wife was in Chicago yesterday,
thus expressed himself in discussing the
future of his home city. AU financial
interests, he said, although he spoke es
pecially for the sugar interests, were firm
in the belief that Ban Francisco would
become the largest and most important
port of entry in the Western Hemisphere.
"When our Oriental trade, already
large, has become still larger, and when
new modern buildings have sprung up
out of the ruins, as they surely will, San
