13 Friday a atMF. arsain THE MOKXTXG OREGrOXIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1907. As nd s! day A Monster Purchase! A Mighty Sale! TODAY AND TOMORROW A Manufacturer's Stock of lOOO Here You Will Find Direct Results of My Late Trip to Eastern Market Centers And tley are no half-way ones, either Now, I want to first say that in my talks to you through an advertisement I will (as in years gone by when I talked to you in acts) simply state facts, and if I attempt to tell you or advise you it will be of something I know something about. If I say I have one, two or five thousand coats for sale, you can stake your sweet life I have them if I say I have a few hundred or thousand late style suits, go your limit that J. M.'A. has them; if I tell you we have a very choice lot of evening dresses, believe it, as I only intend to state facts. fir Ki I fMJflMS At V4 to 12 Off Their Regular Prices 5 Y V ' ay: surf ABSOLUTELY THE BEST VALUES EVER OFFERED SO EARLY IN THE SEASON Twice yearly we are favored by a large eastern manufac turer with his entire stock of Trimmed Hats at a fraction of their original cost. This season we secured them right in the best selling time, when the majority of women have still a new Fall hat to buy, and fortunately they can make a hand some saving on the purchase. One thousand hats in the choosing, large medium and small shapes a becoming hat for every age and every face, every up-to-date clever style, every favored and staple color a variety beyond description. The largest and best assortment in the city, divided and arranged into four great lots $1.95 $2.95 $3.95 $4.95 Now, for Today and Tomorrow I Have Secured a Lot of Silk Petticoats for You There are a few over 500 of them. I bought them so low that I was actually afraid the manufacturers would back out before they could be shipped to me in fact, I would have had over 900 of them, but I thought it over about twenty minutes too long, for another fellow a State street (Chicago) house took a bunch, so I only got about 500. Now, I want to tell you, you have paid $6.50 for silk petticoats not nearly so good you will know this the moment your fingers touch these. Every saleslady and man in this store declare they never saw anything like them for the money. All colors yes, I say yes red, tan, blue, green, gray, pink, plum, brown and white all shades and tints and the silk in them is splendid and you can't see through it, and the petticoat is made of all silk, no cotton underlay-something I have never seen for this figure, or even for one half more maybe you have, but I haven't, and I have been up against the petticoat business for quite a while. On sale while they last, Friday and Saturday, at $3-35 take as many as you want. Dealers or anyone can buy them. My goods are for sale, and garments will be taken from the window or any way to satisfy the customer and sell the goods that's my way of doing things. I smash a window "trim" any time to make a sale and please a customer. Elegant All-Silk Petticoats, Today and Tomorrow . . $3.35 About Waists Notwithstanding all the abuse the National Dressmakers' convention heaped upon the shirtwaist, it is very evident that the garment is here to stay and is worthy of being a stayer, so I took a glance at waists while I was back there I mean in New York, where the water smells like a straw stack after a rain on a hot day I mean that, for I am familiar with both. A big business is done in New York on bottled water; it is shipped in from Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, etc. Say, if some fellow will ship Bull Run water by the carload to New York like they do oil, he will make a fortune but that's got nothing to do with waists ladies' waists. "Well, I think I connected up with about the swell est and nicest lot of plaids, ail colors, stripes, plain and fancy waists that ever came to this city I think I did, but maybe you will think different. Anyway, since I am fair and willing to consider your opinion, I am sure you will call and see my display of waists and just to make it more effective towards having you call and express your opinion, I am going to give you a special plaid and fancy waist sale today and tomorrow a window will be filled with these choice garments, and elegant $6.50 waists will be sold for $4 65, $5.00 waists for $2.90, $4.50 waists for $2.75, $5.50 waists for $3-95, and a whole lot of them at various spe cial prices. - COME AND GIVE ME YOUR OPINION BY CLEANING ME OUT OF WAISTS AT THESE CUT PRICES I want to know if I'm right on waists, for I have a man on salary in New York who is awake nights thinking how he can buy waists to conform to my ideas of waists and the prices I sell them at. ' I have them by the thousands. This is no dream they are here in sight blacks, blues, browns, tan, red, leather, bamboo, Copenhagen blue, etc. I have them right in all cuts and styles. If you haven't been in the greatest garment department store west of Chicago get in here come in here you will see such a store here in your home town, Portland, Oregon. Ah J You say that's strong; true, it is. I have a right to say so, I have seen them all. Many persons familiar with such stores and competent to judge will tell you what I say that for display of goods, equipment, lighting and large amount of garments carried in stock, there are few stores in our class and the store lighting is not sur passed in the United States and I am willing to be "shown.

If not. hunt up a morning; or evening; paper and read It. But I told the truth, and I guess people thought I did, for muslin underwear certainly had the wrapping; counters yesterday and today. But I could not help It, and you can't blame me, nor can my clerks, for Just before I went East I had a hard tussle with the bio; stock of muslin underwear had to move it and the day I got back I had to tackle it again, and have been at it ever since so I wasNEARLY mad.

BULL RUNS TIE SHORT WATER BOARD FAVORS CHANG ING RIVER'S XAME. Passes Resolution at Request of In itiative. One Hundred, but Will Feel the Public Pulse. . In compliance with a request from the Initiative One Hundred, the Water Board at its meeting yesterday afternoon passed a resolution to the effect that it would not be adverse to changing the name of Bull Run River. The movement to re christen the stream that is the source of Portland's famous water supply was launched several weeks ago by the Initia tive One Hilndred, whose members are determined to secure the adoption of a more euphonious name than the present one. The Board is in sympathy with the effort and will probably select a new name from among those suggested to It. J. B. Laber and Francis I. McKenna appeared before the Board yesterday and submitted their suggestion. Their or ganization Is offering a prize of 10 for the best name suggested and from the list they expect to submit the five most appropriate to the Water Board. It is then planned to have the $oard indorse the most suitable name. Before any change is made, however, it is desired by the Board to know that the public is in sympathy with the move. It was suggested by Commissioner Raffety that the -public should show a little more Interest in the matter. He asked that the various improvement organizations throughout the city discuss the matter and if public sentiment favors a change the board will then act. Mr. Laber approved of Cascade River, as a substitute for Bull Run, a suggestion that was made by Superintendent Dodge. Members of the Board also expressed themselves in favor of this choice and it is not unlikely that it will be adopted. Mr. Laber Insisted that the present name is undesirable and that a substitute would be welcomed by all. It was said that all that will be neces sary to bring the new name Into common usage is a resolution from the Water Board. Iater. however, it will be neces sary to have an act passed by the Legis lature in order to legalize the name se- WILL GRANT RIGHT OF WAY City to Make Concession to Mount Hood Hallway Company. It is probable that the Water Board will recommend that the city grant to the Mount Hood Railway & Power Com pany a franchise across' a tract of land near the confluence of the Bull Run and Sandy Rivers on condition that the com pany will agree to abandon any water rights It may have on Bull Run. The petition of the company for a right of way was taken up and favorably con sidered at a meeting of the board yes terday afternoon. In case any en croachment on the ctty's water rights Is threatened, however, the board will not only refuse to grant permission to la;- a track across this land, but will fight condemnation proceedinr.i. City Attorney Kavanaugh reported that ho had not yet completed his Investiga tions to find the effect of any tilings that the company may have made on Hull Run. When his report on this is ready. Mayor Lane will call a special meeting of the board, and the question of giving a right of way will be taken up. The board expressed itself ps per fectly willing to grant an easement on the ground in case the city's rights are thoroughly protected. Mayor Lane announced that he would appoint a committee to confer with the i railroad company. This committee will make clear the position of the board and will insist that any riparian rights that have been -"cured be given up. When the City Attorney prepares an agree ment to be signed by the company, It will Include a disclaimer to all water rights. Superintendent Dodge announced that the company had cleared a right of way for about .one mile along the Bull Run on the city's land. No permission had been granted for this. anJ the board in structed the City Attorney to notify the company that it must not. proceed fur ther with this work. The superintendent reported that there could not be any objection to the road going where this land has been cleared, but it was thought best to require the company to apply for rights in the regular way. The board voted to change ti.e time for the regular meeting from the second Wednesday to the second Thursday of each month. In order that there shall be no conflict, the time of meeting of the Executive Board fire committee will be changed from Thursday to some other day. FAIL TO DELIVER HOSE Establishment of New Companies Is Delayed by California Contractors. Because the Bowers Rubber Company, of Black Diamond, Cal., is delinquent in rilling a contract to supply hose for the lire department, it is impossible to in stall two engine companies that have been authorized, one at Grand avenue and Multnomah street, and the other at Union avenue and Maegley street. The equip ment for these companies has been pur chased but there is no hose for their use. When the fire committee of the Execu tive Board took up this matter yesterday it was found that there is no provision for penalizing the contractors for their delay. Promptness is usually very essen tial in securing apparatus for the fire department and the commission decided to Include a penalty clause for delin quency in the future. "These firms come up here and promise most anything we ask." said Fleischner, "and then pay no attention to their agree ment. When we let this contract an agent of the Bowers Rubber Company promised positively that the contract would be filled within the time limit. After this we will make them give a bond, and if they do not fill their orders on time we shall penalize them." The committee also authorized the Au ditor to advertise for bids to furnish a water tower under an appropriation of $8100 made by the Council. It Is prob able that the specifications will not be Issued until after the return from the East of Chief Campbell, who is making investigations as to the most serviceable kind of water tower to be had. FINDS STRANGE GROWTH Timber Cruiser Discovers Fungus Resembling Buckskin. U. S. Brant brought back this week upon his return from a cruise through the Nehalem forests a substance closely resembling buckskin, which he believes is a rare fungus growth. Any one not familiar with the forests might be excused for pronouncing the substance a frayed piece of old buckskin, but Mr. Bryant knows better, for he found the layer of pulp-like fungus In a crevice In a fallen spruce log, where there was just room for the thin growth. He says he saw large quantities of this fungus In cracks in dead spruce, particularly . in the north Nehalem country, where large bodies of stand ing timber have been killed by the ravages of the worm that attacked and killed whole forests there several years ago by entirely devouring the needles of the trees piecemeal. Air. Bryant would like to have a scientific explanation of the formation of this strange substance and is anx ious that anyone who knows anything about this member of the fungus family, if the substance be really a fungus, explain Its growth. The piece which Mr. Bryant brought home with him Is of velvety texture, much like chamois skin. It Is of nearly the .same color, but Is a trifle lighter.

Gilstrap, a stockholder in the Woodstock Band Company, yesterday brought suit In the State Circuit Court against George Hammond, C. F. Spauld lng and Andrew Petrle, officers and di rectors of the company, asking that the corporation be dissolved, and a re ceiver appointed to dispose of its prop erty and wind up its affairs. He also sues to recover $219; $175 because property of the company was not rent ed by the defendants to the highest bidder, and $44 for a bill of repairs, which, It is alleged, the directors fraud ulently and illegally authorized and paid to themselves. It Is alleged that the repairs were never made. Ship Sheep From Eugene. EUGENE. Or.. Oct. 10. One of the larg. est shipments of sheep sent from Eugene will be made to Ran Francisco next week. W. M.

Freight Received for Points Between Pasco and Roosevelt Comes Into Portland January 1. The first regular trains were oper ated over the eastern portion of the Portland & Seattle Railway yesterday. Trains are now running on schedules from Pasco to Roosevelt on the North bank, a distance of 84 miles. As the tracks are laid further west, the opera tion of trains will be extended until Vancouver and Portland are reached. It Is not likely that passenger trains will be running to Portland over the new system before January 1. The track Is now laid as far west as Columbus, while forces of track layers are busy working from Van couver east. The road will undoubt edly be in operation from Pasco to Lyle by November 1, when It Is ex pected wheat will be hauled down to that point and reshlpped to Portland by the Regulator steamers, the Hill line plHng on the Upper Columbia. M. Talbot, general superintendent of the Portland & Seattle Railway, is now out on the line arranging the trans fer of the first section of the new road, between Pasco and Roosevelt, from the construction to the operation departments. He is systemizing the operating details and will carry on regular freight service between the stations on the first 84 miles of the system. ' Freight tariffs for that distance of the road have Just been issued, effect ive October 7, and provide for car load shipments of construction materi als to all points between Pasco and Roosevelt. Copies of this tariff have been sent out to freight offices of the Hill lines throughout the Pacific North west and when freight other than con struction material offers, it will be ac cepted for carriage to destination by the newest railroad of the two states. WHEAT COMES PAST TACOMA Superior Shipping Facilities Are Found In This City. An unprecedented movement of wheat irom .-ortnern faclflc territory In East ern Washington to Portland for shipment abroad is in progress and all former fig ures on this traffic have been surpassed. It is quite unusual for wheat to take this course for shipment foreign and while some grain has been brought here via lacoma in lormer years, this year's Dusiness is .me biggest on records That the exporters doing business at Tacoma and Portland bring wheat to Ta- coma Irom the Eastern Washington wheat fields and then bring the tonnage 180 miles further to Portland to load on ships is regarded as conclusive proof that the joint wheat rate propaganda of the Puget Sound ports is all wrong. Their contention is that wheat commands higher price at Tacoma than in Portland, owing to the disadvantages of this port! and for that reason the farmers of the wheat belt should have the advantages of the best market. They, therefore, urge that the O. R. & N. should haul wheat from competitive territory in the inter ior to Puget Sound for the same rates charged to Portland, thereby giving the grower the advantage of both markets That Puget Sound is a better market appears to be far-fetched when wheat that naturally goes to Tacoma for ex port comes to Portland instead. Longer haul seems to be unworthy of consider- VERDICT FOR JOHN B. YE0N Jury Decides James J. Rellly Is Not Entitled to Damages. The case ef James J. Rellly against John B. Yeon for $23,000 damages because It is alleged Rellly was run over by Teon's heavy automobile on the Steel bridge last June, went to the Jury at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, and after de liberating for an hour and a quarter a verdict was brought In for the defend ant. The members of the Jury were: D. O. Fisher, Oscar E. Overbeck, J. Good man, Jacob Collekon, Gust Nelson, Dr. W. M. Cake, Sr., Louis M. Stegner, C. R Davis, G. M. Stroup, Frederick Saft enberg, John Dennis and Henry F. Padgham. The Jury took careful notice of Reilly'a physical condition when he was on the stand, and evidently did not consider that the injuries he sustained were serious enough to warrant Yeon's putting up any money to pay for his part in the acci dent. The defense also scored a point when it showed that the bridge is only wide enough for Yeon's automobile and a streetcar, and when Yeon testified that Reilly suddenly stepped from behind a car directly in front of him, so that Yeon had no opportunity to put on the brake. Attorney McGinn, for the prosecution. in making his argument, delivered a scathing rebuke to the automobile scorchers, who eat space like mad, and heed the rights of neither life nor prop erty. Unless a stop is put to the reckless driving of the modern Jehus, ne said, all pedestrians will have to purchase licenses to walk across the streetB. APPL.EGATE TELLS HIS STORY Defendant in Assault Case Denies Murderous Intent. Accusations and counter accusations were made yesterday in the trial of J. W. Applegate before a Jury in Judge O'Day's department of the state circuit court, Applegate is charged with assaulting C. M. Oliver with a revolver one night last July. The two men, who according to the statements on the witness stand, were both drunk, engaged In a fistic en counter, and Applegate, when he found he was getting the worst of It, drew a gun and fired the bullet, grazing Oliver's forehead and ear. According to the story of the witnesses, Applegate is the owner of a house and lot at 209 Cook avenue, in North Alblna. He rented the dwelling to Oliver and his wife, and in turn rented a room from them, also taking his breakfast and sup per with them. Things went along Differing in Every Respect Havering Vanilla Extracts differ in every respect from all others. They are more uniform, more economical, as it requires but a small quantity to impart the desired flavor. They are true to nature, as they are made from the fruit. smoothly for a time, until Applegate be came dissatisfied with the food, and be gan to eat his meals in town. The accused man said yesterday on the witness stand that Mrs. Oliver would set the table for Oliver and herself, and when he came home to supper would clean off everything except a few inex pensive and unpalatable articles of diet, and this he would not perhaps' wish. He testified that he said nothing to them about his dislike for the bread and water diet, but that he simply went elsewhere to eat. "I had two revolvers," said Applegate, "and one of them was in town. One night I thought I would take It home, so put It In my pocket. I had no intention of using it. When I arrived at the door and started in, Oliver met me and struck me a stinging blow in the face, knocking me down on the porch. He was about as drunk as he could be, and I had been tak ing a little I will not deny that. I picked myself up, and kept backing up until I had gone about 15 feet, when he struck me again after we had exchanged some words. I don't know now what was said, but there must have been some things that should not have been uttered. "In a few minutes after Oliver knocked me down the second time there were three men on top of me. Then I drew the gun, but I don't know how it was fired. I would not swear they did it, nor would I swear I did it." Oliver's testimony was that Applegate was the aggressor when they met. He said also that his landlord had been quar reling with his wife, and that he wanted to put a stop to it. He said Applegate came home on the night of the fight with another man with the intention of throw ing the Oliver furniture out of the house as Applegate wanted him to move. The ease will go to the Jury today. COURTS ,' 1 1 School Fund Get the Morrey. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Oct. 10. (Spe cial.)
