AVe wanted only the best, wanted to feel" sure that our Cravenettes would be the best values in this city. We accomplished our end completely how completely you H well understand when you See the Cravenette Overcoats We Sell at $12.50, $15.00, $18.00, $20.00, $25.00 and $30.00 TO BUILD SMELTER Washougal Mining Company Will Spend $500,000. PLANT TO BE NEAR CITY Will Employ 400 Hands aii.I Will Treat Ores From Company's Mine Near Capo Horu and From Alaska. Mora than. $500,000 is shortly to be In vested In the erection of a smelter near Portland. Eastern capitalists interested In the Washougal Gold & Copper Mining Company, -which is operating on the Washougal River, have decided to estab lish a smelter near Portland and it -will be running full blast in less than a year. About 400 men will be employed at the smelter, and the company proposes to establish a settlement of the workers, which will be nothing more nor less than a suburb of Portland. Announcement of . the smelter was made last night by F. A. Mabee, of St. Louis, president Of the Washougal Gold & Copper Mining Company. Mr. Mabee Is now a guest at the Hotel Portland in company with a score or more of cap italists who are associated with him. Most of the men are from St. Louis and Texas. No Oregon money has been in vested in the enterprise. "We shall begin work on the smelter as soon as we finish the development of our property near Cape Horn," stated Mr. Mabee last night. "You can state that the smelter will be in oeration in less than a year. Before very long we shall have an output at the mines of about 500 tons of ore daily. This ore will be shipped from Cape Horn to our smelt er near Portland. We also expect to ob tain ore from Alaska." Among the stockholders of the company who are now at the Hotel Portland with Mr. Mabee, are John Scabour, of Dallas, the biggest cattleman in Texas; Henry Dorsey, Holt Harris, Dallas capitalists; George Kramer, of Waco, Texas, and Father Preaker, also of Texas, a Catho lic priest, who has some interest in the company. The party leaves this morning for Cape Horn to inspect the property. Mr. Mabee stated last night that he and all the others interested with him, are satisfied that they have one of the great est copper mines in the country, and are ready and willing to expend hundreds of thousands of dollars In the enterprise. The stock of the company is not for sale, and the stockholders for the most part are personal friends of Mr. Mabee. To date the Washougal Gold & Copper Mining Company has expended about $100,000 on the property which is located 16 miles from Cape Horn. About 100 men are now at work. About half of them are employed at the mine and the others are at work preparing the grade for an electric road to run from Cape Horn to the mines. This road will be of stand ard gauge. Before the mine can be oper ated at profit, about $200,000 more will have to be expended. The electric road will have to be laid before the ore can be shipped out in large quantities. Tunnels are being bored and ledges uncovered, so that when the road is running the ore can be handl "Mill to Man" Clothiers ed rapidly. From Cape Horn to the smelter, near Portland, it is planned to ship the ore by water. PIKE'S PEAK CENTENNIAL Fairbanks Speaks to Huge Crowd of Pioneers and Descendants. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.. Sept. 25. Pioneer day, the second In the Pike centennial celebration week, opened as auspiciously as did the week itself with a vast throng of outsiders in the city. The day had been set aside for the glorification of the efforts and achieve ments of the early pioneers. The influx of pioneers from Colorado and neigh boring states made a gathering that never has been equalled in this section of the country. The formal exercises were conducted in the open air, the meeting being held at Stratton Park at the entrance to the famous Cheyenne Canyon, at 11:30 this morning. The speakers at this meet ing were General Frank Hall, one time secretary of Jefferson Territory, and Judge Wilbur F- Stone, of Denver. Owing to the fact that it was seen early that the Grand Opera-House would accommodate only a small part of the crowd that desired to hear the address of Vice-President Fairbanks, the meeting was held in the open air. The Vice-President spoke from the band stand in Acacia Park to fully 10, 000 persons. He was introduced by Congressman Frank E. Brooks, and sel dom has a speaker received such an ovation in this city. A public reception at the home of Mr. Brooks at 4 o'clock this after noon in honor of Vice-President Fair banks was the chief social event of the day. The throng that has been present at Camp Pike since the arrival of the Army detachments here on Friday and Saturday was undiminished today. The military features of today's programme consisted of a dress parade by the Twenty-ninth Infantry on the Cascade avenue plaza, followed by a concert by the Twenty-ninth Infantry Band. The polo and golf tournaments were con tinued today, and Indian dances at the Broadmoor and concerts by the mili tary band this evening- completed to day's programme.

DEMURRER IS FILED Crowd in Court to See Young Velguth Disappointed. ARGUMENT NEXT MONDAY If Demurrer Is Overruled, as It Probably Will Be, Date W ill Be Set for Velguth to Be Ar raigned and Plead. v For the reason that his attorney had filed a demurrer in his case and it was not necessary for him to be on nan 1, Bernard O. Velguth, accused of embez zling $2100 from the Portland Gas Com pany, did not appear before Judge Sears yesterday morning to plead to the in formation against him. The court set next Wednesday morning for argument in the case, and in the event the demur rer is overruled, which will probably follow the course of proceedings, Vel guth will be arraigned and will plead, and his case will thereupon be assigned to one of the departments by Presiding Judge Sears for trial. ( It was rumored around the Court house at the time the demurrer was filed that Velguth was in the build ing, and much curiosity was manifest to get a glimpse of the young man, but W. W. Banks, his attorney, last night declared that Uis client was nowhere near the Courthouse at any time yes terday. Although District Attorney Manning declared that he intended to prosecute Velguth -with the utmost vigor, and that it was his calculation to force the young man to trial as speedily as pos sible, he will have to reckon with At torney Banks in some of his estimates, for the District Attorney of Mult nomah County will be met by a lawyer who knows several turns in the road; hence there is no telling when Velguth will face a Jury, as any shrewd lawyer is capable of creating all kinds of de lays if he feels so disposed. OLD DAMAGE CASE BOBS UP Final Evidence Taken In Suit of Mrs. Jane Inglefleld. Hearing of final evidence, in the $10,000 damage suit of Mrs. Jane Inglefleld against the Portland Consolidated Rail way Company was concluded before Judge Cleland yesterday afternoon and the case taken under advisement. The case was partially tried at the June term, and but few witnesses testified yesterday. The plaintiff set up in her complaint that on October 12 last she attempted to board an Eleventh street car, when it started and she was thrown violently to the ground, sustaining a serious- shock to her nervous system, besides sundry con tusions. By reason of no report of the accident having been made to the of ficials of the company, they defaulted on answering the complaint of Mrs. Ingle fleld, and the only question for Judge Cle land to pass on relates to the measure of damages. This is the second time within the past year or so that Mrs. Inglefleld has been injured in car accidents, and upon a pre vious occasion recently she collected $250 damages on that account. Henry E. McGinn was attorney for slalntifl. while Dan J. Malarkey renre- $15.00 J. L. Bowman & Co. Props. sented the defense. Judge Cleland gave out no intimation when he would decide the case. Mrs. Zeller Gets $1100 Judgment. In the case of Sarah E. Zeller. against the Portland Consolidated Railway Com pany, Judge Gantenbein yesterday handed down a decision awarding plaintiff $1100 damages, together with costs and dis bursements.

The com plaint recited that the motorman started the car up suddenly, throwing plaintiff to the ground with considerable force, and causing her painful bodily injuries, George White Asks for Divorce.
