Nobby Footwear Styles
The shoe stock carried in this store is
especially selected to meet the demands
of those who seek shoes that are bargain
values more than shoes at bargain prices.
High-class foolery is not expensive here;
it is indeed modestly priced when com
pared with the figures asked by "exclu
sive" shoe stores. In selling a pair of
shoes here, we have more to think of
than pleasing a customer on shoes alone,
lor we know that to have them dissatis
fied with the shoes is to risk losing their
trade in other departments; therefore,
the most expert titters possible to ob
tain arc employed. We believe that more
careful attention is given to selecting a
perl'ect-titting shoe in this store than in any other store in Portland. The
low shoes in which customers find it most difficult to obtain satisfaction are
the "Garden Tie" and the "Colonial." We fit these here so they do not
bag at the ankle or slip at the heels. The Colonials come in patent leather,
gunmetal calf and brown suede. The Garden Ties in bright or dull calf, tan
calf or brown suede. The suede shoes are $5.00 pair; all other styles $4.00.

March '29. ) Kerord t:n'vt practice for
tho 1 1 battleships of the Atlantic fleet
Is rapidly approaching a conclusion and
it is exported that next Wednesday,
April 1. will witness the final firing; on
the ranges. The Virginia, the Kansas
and the Vermont were on the firing;
lines today and they are th last ships
to complete their work. The Vermont
and the Kansas are indulging; in tar
gtt practice for the first time under
record conditions and have been grant
ed quite a concession in t he way of
preliminary praet ice. Monday, Tues
day and "Wednesday, it is believed, the
Kansas ami Vormont will ha ve the
ranges all to themselves. The gun
iit-ws on t hose ships have had lots of
opportunity to prepare tor th- work
at the targets ami t hey should make
a splendid record. The ships sent to
the ra nges first suffered some thing of
a handicap, as gun drilling at sea dot
not give- the same results as v. lieu i
liip is lying at anchor.
Ali of the ships, it can be stated,
however, have been doing splendid
woi'k at the targets and It is still a
nmorr of doubt as to whet her the
championship guniury pennant for ar
uioi oil yesse's will fly from one of the
armored cruisers of the 1'acif ie fleet
or frooi one of the batt leships now

mir: owed down to the results of the
small caliber scores, the three-Inch ri
fles especially figuring in the equation
which is to be solved. The records as
at present compiled give no certain in
dication of the final result. The battle
ships have made high scores with
their " and 13 inch guns, as against
the ciht and ten-inch rifles in the
primary batteries of the Pacific fleet
cruisers.
With the completion of i target prac
tice on next Wednesday, the crews will
turn to coaling, and then will follow
a week of cleaning and painting ships
for the welcomes which await the ves
sels at the various California ports they
are to visit. When the work of paint
ing Is done the li ships will look spick

(Special.) The protected cruiser Mil

This is the Milwaukee's first visit

the customary salute was postponed
until tomorrow. The Milwaukee, like
her sister ship, the St. Louis, which is

Stock Market Feels Encouraging

NEW YORK. March 29. Benefits to the
financial and industrial situation are
hoped for from an amendment to the
anti-trust law which will permit reason
able acreements even though in restraint
of trade in the strict application of the
law as interpreted by the Supreme Court.
The Judicial department of the Govern

In the stock market in the Supreme
Court's decision against the validity of
the Minnesota and North Carolina rail
road rate laws.
. On the side of industrial and business
conditions are reported as having some
confusion of the good and the bad. Addi
tional resumptions in steel mills and the
rise in the 4)riee of copper caused a feel
ing of encouragement over the metal
trades. Large curtailments of goods pro
duction and reduction of wages in the
New EnglRnd cotton mills made the de
pressing factor in the textile trade situ
ation. Railroad officials do not speak
with enthusiasm of the rate of betterment
in their traffic, and retrenchment contin
ues the order of the day in the railroad
world.
CHINESE MAKE MISTAKE
Highbinders Attack and Beat t'p the
Wrong Man in Oakland.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 29 What is
believed to be a reopening of Chinese
Highbinder activities at Oakland took
place today at toe corner of Fifth and
Jackson streets, when Jonn Williams was
set upon by tnre Chinamen and badly
beaten about the shoulders and slashed
across the back of the right hand before
he could fight them off.
Williams believes he was mistaken for
another man. .and-in this the authorities
agree with him. . He is said to bear some
likeness to one of the guards employed by
one of the formerly warrmir tongs to
protect their head men. The fact that as
soon as Williams had thrown off his hat
and attacked his assailants one of them
uttered a cry of warning and all turned
and fled leads to the belief that the Chi
namen then discovered their mistake and
took to their heels.

A high wind was blowing and the low

BACKED UP BY CROWD
With Six Strikebreakers, Official
Arrives at Ivewiston and Is Met
by Pickets These Turn on
Him and Tear His Clothes.
L.EWISTOXA- Idaho. March 29. (Spe
cial.) Scenes of disorder marked the
day's close of the telephone operators
strike last night, when Superintendent
Reynolds arrived from Spokane on the
train with six girls who will take the
place of striking operators.
Nine strikers, supported by a large
crowd of sympathizers, met the incom
ing train and endeavored to persuade the
new girls from going to work. After
attempting to reason with the Spokane
girls, the strikers vented their spleen on
Reynolds and his girls.
The superintendent was roughly
handled by Irate girls, who were backed
by a crowd of men and women that
jeered him as the girls Jostled him and
tore his hat from his head. Reynolds
hurried his girls to the hotel, where he
had engaged rooms In advance.
A sympathetic strike of linemen is pro
posed. The men only await a strike
order from headquarters. Many tele
phone subscribers are promising support,
claiming that the girls are underpaid
and compelled to work longer hours than
any other employes of the company.

Fashionable Seattle Apartment

SEATTLE. Wash... March 2- (Spe
cial.) Fire in the Otis, a fashionable
boarding-house on the first hill, caused
a loss this afternoon estimated at from
J15.000 to $30,000. The entire third floor
was gutted and the furnishings of the
rooms beneath were badly damaged by
water. Walter S. Fulton, ex-Prosecuting
Attorney of King County, and his
mother, Mrs. Martha White Fulton, were
slightly burned.
The fire was due indirectly to the fact
that no luncheon is served at the Otis
on Sunday. Since Sunday luncheons
were abolished some of the guests have
been in the habit of making tea in their
rooms. Mrs. William McDonald was
thus occupied about 1:30 this afternoon
when the flame of an alcohol lamp

through the upper story in a flash. Ful
ton was in his mother's room when the
fire started. He got her safely out, but

Three dollars was found in Trainor's

the end of their resources. Coroner Mil

KNIFE READY FOR BRYAN
(Continued From First Page.)
bulk of the Independence league votes
outside of New York City wfll gravitate
to him. Chanler was a bright league
star until after he took office on January
1, 190". Every day. however, he has got
further and further away from his old
independent companions. But he lias
diplomatically avoided any direct break
with them. Of course, however, he does
not even dream of an Indorsement by the
new National party, which now has a
column on the official ballot.
Chanler la more concerned as to what
Bryan's friends will do than he is re
garding the action the Independence
.League may take. He has privately
urged various leaders not to force the
Bryan men out of the party, and would
be satisfied to see a merely perfunctory
opposition made at the National conven
tion. It has been suggested in his behalf that
the New York delegation vote on the
first hallo- for some favorite son, prefer
ably although not necessarily Chanler,
and on the second ballot swing in for
Bryan.
"Such a programme.', added the Chanler
emissary, "ought to make everybody
happy. Bryan's enemies ought to be
satisfied, and I do not think his friends
would object."
This compromise was rejected on the
spot. Now Chanler has another problem;
whether or not he shall go as a delegate
to the National convention.
If he goes to Denver and casts his
vote for Johnson. Gray - or any of the
other conservatives, he will alienate local
Bryan voters if he makes the race for
Governor. By going to Denver and
"making a noise like a Bryan delegate"
he will hurt himself with the dominant
element here. One of his D lichees County
emissaries said today:
"After careful consideration I have
advised Lew to either break his leg
or go to Europe about the first of July.
The grandest diplomat in the world could
not go to Denver, and make a good get
away, unless he was absolutely in
different to a political future."
The doubts of Chanler have been con
fided to Charles F. Murphy. He gravely
decided that the solution was "up to"
the Lieutenant-Governor. A similar
answer was given by State Chairman
Conners. Neither of these great leaders
has any desire to embarras Chanler. It
is simply a problem which makes their
heads hurt.
When you come to think of it, the
puzzle is a perplexing one. Here It is
stated in puzzle form:
A candidate for Governor of New York
on the Democratic ticket is looking for
votes. Outside of the macTTine men and
the dyed in the wool partisans, he wants
the Bryan followers and the anti-Bryan
voters.
If he goes to Denver and shouts for
Bryan, he will lose the anti-Bryan voters.
If he goes to Denver and does not shout
for Bryan, he will lose the Bryan fol
lowers. If he etays at home, will he gain the
anti-Bryan voters and the Bryan fol
lowers, or will he lose both factions?
Will each faction take his absence and
silence as an indorsement, or will each
regard ft as a repudiation?
An answer to the above will
greatly oblige Lieutenant-Governor Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, Capitol, Albany, or
Red Hook, Duchess County, New York.
He may not admit it for publication,
but it is a far more engrossing problem
than the "Lady or the Tiger," made
famous by Frank R. Stockton. Stockton
was frank enough to admit that there
was no answer to his story. Chanler
hopes there is an answer to his.
And he must find it, if he hopes to
stay In polities.
MAKING QUIET IN COREA
Japanese General Says People Ap

TOKIO. March 30. General Okasaki,

"The insurrection in Corea is practical

Reports from Seoul the last few days
