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.

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. ' . J. M. A.

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.

PORTLAND & SEATTLE ROAD
OPENED FOR 84 MILES.
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

heed the rights of neither life nor prop
erty. Unless a stop is put to the reckless

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

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.
