Going to the land of contentment. There's another train leaves in fifteen minutes. It stops at every home along
the way. There's an "Eclipse" right-of-way from ocean to ocean controlled by the people whose stock is pro
tected and guaranteed for fifteen years, and consists of one "Eclipse" Range There are 15,000 shares held in Port
land 15,000 homes where "Eclipse" Ranges are working, and you couldn't buy one of those shares for love nor
money. There's an "Eclipse" mail train rolls in twice a day and from now until November 1 our little mail clerk
will be swamped with "Eclipse" contest entries. Some day we're going to introduce our score of little workers to
our patrons. '

ticular reason or reasons for your preference of the "Eclipse" above all other makes of Ranges. Then send this
letter to I. Gevurtz & Sons' "Eclipse" Prize Contest, Portland, Or. On the last day of this month these letters will
all be bundled together and sent to the "Eclipse" Stove Company of Mansfield, Ohio, makers of the great "Eclipse"

The Economical "Eclipse" Heater
The Stove of Choice
Stands at the head of the class in the
Bchool for the higher development of

own reasons for preferring the

sons that stand out prominently in the
preference of every person WHERE
IN THE "ECLIPSE" EXCELS
FACTS RELATIVE TO ECONOMY:
It is strictly air tight.'

styles.
There's a bit of sympathy aroused
within us at the small talk of certain
Range dealers. They cannot help say
ing, what they do, for they're driven to
it through sheer desperation. No
their Range won't do, so say the great
majority of people. Every day we hear
something of this sort, as the lady im
patiently stamps her foot "I've been
all over town looking at Ranges and
no they simply won't do" or "yes,
show me what you have but there is
little use for I've been all over town
and haven't found a Range that suits
me! but, ah! the sudden settlement
in the nettled disposition when the lady
sees the "Eclipse." "Eclipse" Ranges
are favored everywhere but nowhere
are they more popular than right here
in Portland where 15,000 of them
work in satisfied harmony.
"Eclipse,", the world's best. Guar
anteed for fifteen years with fifteen
distinct improvements over its nearest
competitor.
SIX OF THE FIFTEEN REA
SONS WHY IT SHOULD BE AN
"ECLIPSE."
Quicker baking with small consump
tion of fuel.
Simplicity of management no com
plicated flues or dampers.
Sliding damper which admits of per
fect control over oven.
Broiler ratchet, an unrivalled con
venience for broiling or toasting over
coals.
Front grate, which admits of perfect
and complete draft upon entire length
of fire.
Scientifically proportioned oven,
which guarantees thorough and rapid
baking. THIS IS THE MAIN SE
CRET OF ITS SUCCESS. Be sure to
investigate this feature.

PHILIPPINES MADE CLEAN
Islands Inder Army Regulations
Healthier Than American Cities.
Major A. N. Stark, who comes to Van
couver as post sura-eon in command of
tho medical department of the post, was
at U-.o Portland Hotel yesterday. Major
Stark recently served two and a half
years in the United States General Hos
pital in Manila and four years in Cuba
under General Wood. His family will ar
rive soon, -as he expects to be located at
Vancouver indefinitely.
"There has been a big change in health
conditions in the islands since the United
States took charge," he said yesterday.
"Today Manila is one of the cleanest
cities in the world. Under the Spaniards
it was one of the worst. We now have
23,000 men in the Philippines, and the
death rate among them Is only 12 per
cent. The average in any large American
city. like New York or Chicago, Is from
15 to 2a per cent, so you see that army
life in the islands now is nearly twice as
healthy, if one may express it that way,
as it is in our large cities. Of course, the
rate varies greatly in different places
some localities axe very healthy and tae
others just the reverse, but the average
over the whole Islands is excellent.
"There is no fighting there now. Every
thing is quiet. Or course, there is always
the ordinary police work for the Army to
do, but there la no organized resistance.
I am glad to get back to the United
States once more, and am particularly
glad of having such a location as here
near Portland."
Concerning possible war movements af
fecting the Philippines Major Stark de
clined to speak, because of his official position.

DR. BROUGHER TO REMAIN
Satisfied Here and Will Not Go to
Seattle.
The report that Dr. 3. Whitcomb
Brougher, of the White Temple, will be
again offered the pastorate of the First
Baptist Church of Seattle, has been xe-
I
vlved, although he has already twice de
clined the office. The report Is given
little consideration by him. "I have a
great many friends among the Baptists
of Seattle and in the First Baptist
Church of that city, who would like to
have me come there," said Or. Brougher
last night. "But no definite proposition
has been made me and I have no desire
to leave Portland.- My work was never
more delightful and successful than It
Is today."
