A Stupendous Blanket SaleSave
We have $10,000 worth too many blankets, that's the plain truth of the matter In a nutshell. The cold weather
we expected in early November failed to materialize, and blanket sales were much slower than they should have
been, so we've gone through our stock of blankets and selected 31 styles, approximating a total of $10,000, and
reduced these in a remarkable manner, the savings averaging one-fourth and one-third. It's an opportunity to pur
chase high-grade bedding that offers savings greater than the Portland public have ever known.
Insistent need for immediate disposal brings about this extraordinary state of affairs, and bear in mind that it
concerns only blankets of the better grade. Fine wool blankets in white and every color in which they are made.
Wise shoppers will supply their bedding wants now for years to come, for bedding like this is not likely to be sold
again for prices as small as these.

THEATER PANIC AVERTED
Wise Fire Chief Keeps Audiences
From Knowing Truth.
CHICAGO. Dec. 11. Three audiences in
the Fine Arts and Studebaker Theater
buildlng'were kept from panics last night
by quick action of Are department officers
and theatrical managers after a fire had
been discovered in the Chicago Musical
College, which adjoins the structures.
One alarmist was knocked unconscious
In the lobby of the Studebaker building
by an official of the theater after he had
uttered one shout of "tire." Hobart Chat-fleld-Taylor
hurried to the stage of the
music hall, wtrere a performance was
being given, and calmed the people in
the audience, who had smelled the smoke
and had begun to exhibit signs of alarm.
The fire was of little consequence and
was readily extinguished.
Chief Horan ordered that all the fire
department apparatus should be stopped
a half block north of the theater build
ing. He also quickly stilled the gongs
and the firemen"s shouts.
In the Studebaker Theater, where a
play was being witnessed by 1-iOO persons,
all the exits were taken in charge by
ushers and firemen, who were ordered to
throw them wide open at the first symp
tom of panic.
LrfBS than a score of persons in the
theater knew of the fire.
On the 10th floor of the Fine Arts bulld
Vig 200 members of th. Sha Dears Club
were gathered, and in a dramatic school
on the eighth floor bout 76 pupils and
teachers were engaged. They were
warned by attendants of the building and
all left by the elevators.
OIL AND WOMAN BLAMED
Despondent Over Reverses and Do
mestic Trouble, Oil Dealer Dies.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. Lawrence
S. Nlcolai, formerly a prosperous in
dependent oil dealer, committed suicide
today on account of financial and do
mestic troubles. He attributed his
financial misfortune to the "unbusi
nesslike methods" of the Standard Oil
Company, which, he declared, had left
him penniless. He and his wife had
separated.
Babes Saved From Big Fire.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. lL-Fire early
today almost completely wiped out the
big plant of . the Ffau Manufacturing
Company, makers of plumbers' supplies
in Reading Road. Tenants of houses in
the rear of the burning plant fled from
their homes and policemen carried sleep
ing babies from the row of frame tene
ments on West Twelfth street, passing
through dense smoke to do so. All were
rescued. The loss, is 1126,000 to J150.0Q0,
partially insured.

MEN FED THROUGH PIPE
Entombed Miners in Nevada Given
Food to Last Weeks.
RENO, Nev., Dec. 11. The three min
ers Brown, McDonald and Bailey, who
have been entombed for a week in a
drift at the 113-foot level of the Alpha
shaft of the Giroux mine at Ely, still
are alive and are able to communi
cate with the miners at the top of the
shaft. They have been given enough
food through the six-inch water pipe
connecting the drift with the surface
to last them a week, and in case this
pipe is broken they will not die of
starvation or thirst. The work of
clearing the-shaft is progressing slow
ly and it is not believed that the men
will be rescued for at least another
week. The men report that they are
all uninjured.
Wants Woman Nurses in Navy.
CHICAGO, Dec. 11. "Women nurses
should be employed in the United States
Navy in order to raise the naval medical
service to its highest standard of effi
ciency." This is the opinion of Dr. R.
W. Plummer, past assistant-surgeon of
the United States naval medical service,
who spoke yesterday at the opening ses
sion of the National legislative council of
the American Medical Association.
A bill for the establishment and organ
ization of a corps of trained women
nurses in the Navy was recommended to
Congress. It provides that women nurses
be employed in naval hospitals on shore
in time of peace, and on hospital and
ambulance ships in time of war.
Steamers Dodging Texas Law.
PENSACOLA, Fla.. Dec. 11. Fearing
that the vessels might be seized upon
the judgment secured against the com
pany by the State of Texas, the Stan
dard Oil Company yesterday ordered the
steamer Captain A. F. Lucas and Bark
No. 95 to proceed from this port to sea
and not to come within three miles of
shore until further orders were received.
The vessels, both of which are among the
largest of the oil-carrying fleet of the
company, had just returned from London,
where they carried an immense quantity
of oil from Pennsylvania.
The vessels are now anchored off Pen
sacola bar, awaiting wireless orders.
