FIFTH, SIXTH & WASH. STS. THE OLDS, WOR TMAN & KING STORE i THE "DIFFERENT STORE-
POSITIVELY
THE LAST THIS YEAR
TODAY ENDS THE SUMMER'S FAMOUS SEMI -DAY, DEMI
WEEK SALES. Final opportunity to secure desirable year-'round mer
chandise at the 'tween season's drastic reductions and clean-up prices.
Special Card to Those Who
Have Monthly Credit Accounts
All goods bought at the store today and Friday on the
monthly settlement system will be charged on September bills.
This will afford, timely and opportune privilege to patrons to
purchase liberally during these two great bargain days that put
a fitting climax upon the most successful Summer season the
store has ever known.
"Tot what to shun will no great knowledge need.
But what to follow, were a task indeed."
The Summer seems indeed to be the "silly season" among
many of the city's store advertisers. The extravagant and ri
diculous claims of some may befuddle a few shoppers, but they
disgust more, and they learn to shun the stores that give cry
to absurd and impossible statements. Then' what to believe is
the question and the public falls back upon the "Old Home
stead Shops" that insist that "every word of the printed an
nouncement must be backed up by the goods in the store."

Express Companies Ask Time
to Complete Tariffs.
CANNOT COMPLY WITH LAW
Interstate Commerce Commission
Learns What New Legislation
Means to Carriers Industrial
Railroads Ask Leniency.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Every one
or the carriers under the recently en
acted rate law is seeking- an extension
of time In which to file with the Inter
state Commerce Commission its sched
ule of rates provided for by the act,
because they have not had the time
necessary to complete their schedules
of rates.
Representatives of nearly all of the
13 express companies doing business !n
the United States were present at to
day's bearing.
Frank C. Piatt, of New Tork, of the
United States Express Company, told
the Commission that his company had
thus far prepared about 400.000 rates,
but that it was not through by any
means. He said that the company had
strained Itself to the utmost in doing;
the work and now had 50 additional
men at work on the schedules. He
urged the Commission, in addition to
granting an extension of time to do
the work, not to Insist upon a posting
of the schedule of rates, at every office,
as that would be practically .a physical
impossibility. .
' In the course of Mr. Piatt's state
ment it was developed that one-half,
In round figures, of the cost of the
transmission of express matter was
paid to the railroads and one-half for
cartage and other charges.
The commission was addressed by
representatives of other express com
panies among them being John D. Lud
low, traffic manager of the Wells-Far-go
Company. He Informed the commis
sion that most of the records of his
company, particularly those relating
to the Western division, were de
stroyed in the San Francisco confla
gration and it was necessary to make
all these schedules at the earliest pos
sible date.
A brief hearing was accorded to rep
resentatives of what are known as in
dustrial railroads lines that have
been established by large corporations
for the purpose, primarily, of taking
care of the switching of those con
cerns. Inquiries relating to the position the
industrial railroads were placed in by
the new rate law were submitted, but
the Commission declined to make an
absolute order on any of them at this
time.
PACKERS COMPLY WITH LAW
Wilson Says They Will Be Ready
When Inspection Takes Effect.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29, Secretary Wil
son returned today from an extended trip
through the West and Northwest. He in
spected personally many meat-packing
plants In the various cities he visited,
making it a point always to call at the
plants in a given city without previous
notice.
In the majority of instances the Secre
tary found the plants In good sanitary
condition. The packers everywhere, he
learned, were disposed to meet the re
quirements of the law without quibble or
protest, and by October 1. when the in
spection of domestic products will take
effect, the Secretary believes that the
majority of the packing plants of the coun
try will have completed their arrange
ments for full observance of the provis
ions of the new law;

partment tonight made public a proclama
tion by President Roosevelt declaring and
putting into effect on September 1 next

Roosevelt's First Phonetic Letter.
OYSTER BAY, Aug. 29. Secretary Taft

formed spelling board decision.

STRONG BID TO LABOR
Platform Declares a Democratic Con
gress Must Make New Laws for
, the Masses, While Enforcing
Existing; Statutes Justly.
RENO. Nev., Aug. 29. The Demo
cratic and Silver parties of the State
of Nevada assembled In joint conven
tion in this city today, and after the
establishment of a permanent organi
zation Immediately proceeded to busi
ness. After the report of the commit
tee on credentials was read to the con
vention the adoption of the platform
for the coming campaign was formed.
It is regarded as the strongest plat
form ever drafted by a Nevada state
convention, embodying a declaration
of the necessity of a Democratic Con
gress Justly to enforce existing laws,
and for the enactment of new laws for
the further betterment of the masses.
It strongly indorses the administra
tion of Governor John Sparks, espe
cially in connection with the recent
enactment of the eight-hour law,
which is of far-reaching Importance
to the powerful labor element In the
extensive mining- districts throughout
the state.
Mention is made of the pride with
which the stato has watched the
course pursued by the senior United
States Senator, Francis G. Newlands,
regarding the famous irrigation bill
with which his name will be forever
Identified, and of the beneficent re
sults that must necessarily follow its
proper enforcement. He Is strongly
indorsed for re-election in 1909.
The reports of the different" offices
will be taken up Immediately upon the
opening of tomorrow's session. It is
rumored that notwithstanding Gov
ernor Sparks' declaration that he is
not a candidate to succeed himself he
will be prevailed upon to head the
ticket.
Complete harmony characterized
the entire proceedings and the fusion
of the two parties was accomplished
amidst enthusiastic applause.
QCINCY WANTS NONE OF MORAS
Massachusetts Chairman Will Resign
If lie Is Nominated.
BOSTON, Aug. 29. Publlo utterances
from various state leaders today devel
oped new Interest in the struggle for the
Democratic nomination for Governor of
Massachusetts. District Attorney John
B. Moran led off by sending a caustic
letter to Josiah Quincy, chairman of the
Democratic state committee, refusing the
latter's suggestion to submit the nomi
nation Issue to William Jennings Bryan.
The District Attorney forwarded one of
his campaign buttons to Chairman Quin
cy, with the remark that the wearing
ef the same would be proof of Mr. Quln
cy's recognition of the Massachusetts
people's right to govern themselves In de.
fiance of dictation by selX-constituted
bosses.
Chairman Quincy replied by promising
vigorous hostility to Mr. Moran's candi
dacy. He added, however, that he would
cease his opposition to Moran after the
latter had become satisfied that a ma
jority of the Democrats wanted a candi
date whose nomination, to his mind,
spelled "humiliation and disaster." Mr.
Quincy intimated that he would resign
his position as chairman If Mr. Moran
were nominated. Ex-Congressman J.
R. Thayer announced that he would not
be a candidate for the Democratic nomi
nation for Governor under any circum
stances. H. M. Whitney recently made a
similar announcement, and ex-Governor
Douglas has declared his unwill
ingness to run unless he Is .nominated
without opposition. The situation has ap
parently given new hope to the Moran
forces, which are now hard at work in
the state.
DICK ACCEPTS OHIO ISSVE.
Will Fight "Less Cordial" Indorse
ment of Senators.
AKRON, O., Aug. 29. Following the
statement given out by Senator Fora
ker Sunday night on the issue of In
dorsement of the Ohio Senators by the
Republican convention and other mat
ters. Senator Charles Dick gave out a
statement yesterday. Both of the
statements follow the address of
Harry M. Daugherty, ex-chairman
of the Republican State Committee, at
Cleveland last Saturday, in which he
urged the retirement of Senator Dick
as chairman of the State Executive
Committee, and a less cordial Indorse
ment of Senators Foraker and Dick
than ' of President Roosevelt by the
state committee. Senator Dick in his
statement says:
"Personally, no one can regret more
than I the antagonism or opposition
toward Ohio Senators and their friends.
If the Ohio Senators were disposed, for
any reason, to retire from the con
flict, they could not do so now. They
owe It to their friends over the en
tire state, as well as to themselves, to
fight this matter to a finish. In this
contest their friends will be found on
one side, their enemies on the other.
In the controversy, however, the Na
tional Administration is not Involved,
since no one opposes a strong and em
phatic Indorsement of the President.
The whole situation has shifted to one
of opposition to the Ohio Senators and
the present party organization. The
coming state convention must decide
It."
Will Open Campaign in West.
CHICAGO, Aug. 29. Arrangements were
practically completed last night for the
opening of the Republican Fall campaign

ing." as it is called on the posters, at the

Senator Albert J. Beverldge, of Indiana,
will be the chief speaker of that ocoa
slon. It is expected that Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon and J. Adam Bede, Congress
man from Minnesota, will also address

has been abandoned.
