WAR
A wholesale price-slaughter has been inaugurated by the other stores of the city. We are not overstocked, nor do we like to

celebrated Chesterfield Clothes of the very latest style creations at unheard-of price-reductions for the season. This sale
also includes Men's Fine Furnishings and Hats. All high grades and up-to-date styles, and since the battle is on, and not
of our choosing, we shall see to it that the men of Portland receive the greatest values of their lives, and at a time when they

BERTH ARRANGED
FOR CHARLESTON
Cruiser Will Be Moored at
Victoria Dolphins on East
Side of the River.
BARGES ALREADY IN PLACE
Original' Intention of IrlTlngr New
Dolphins Abandoned River Bed
of Cement Gravel Stark-Street
Slip Being Cleaned Up.
The cruiser Charleston and the accom
panying naval craft, which will he in
Portland for the Rose Festival, will be
moored at the Victoria dolphins, outside
of barges which have been provided. One
barge will be placed and used as a land
ing stage and the other will act as a
fender for the flagship. . The barges have
been placed in position and the anchors
met.
It was the original Intention to drive
five three-pile dolphins below the Steel
bridge. The drivers appeared on the
scene yesterday morning, but were un
able to drive a single pile. The river bed
a t that place Is composed of cement
g'avel and the heaviest hammer could
not sink a timber an inch below the sur
face. After a number of attempts the
driver was called off and other arrange
ments for the accommodation of the fleet
were made. Harbormaster Speier ob
tained two barges from Colonel Roessler,
Vnited States Kngfneer officer, and these
were Immediately placed In position. The
torpedo-boats will anchor on the East
Side between the Bumside and the Morrl-son-street
bridges.
Workmen will begin cleaning up the
city slip at the foot of Stark street this
morning. The place will be put in shape
to permit the landing of Carnival offi
cials and man-of-war boats. Beach comb
ers, pirates and fishermen who have
made the foot of Stark street a loafing
place and rendezvous have" been given
notice to keep away and from this time
on city officials will see that the foot of
Stark street Is a safe place for people
to go. The pontoon, or landing float, will
be whitewashed and the walk leading
from Front street to the river will be
put in passable shape.
GATZERT GOES TO ASTORIA
Steamer Will Be Placed on the
Iionrr River Run.
Three round trips a week to Astoria
and three to The Dalles is the new sched
ule which has been prepared for the
steamer Bailey Gatzert. The announce
ment of the determination of the Regu
lator line to put the crack excursion boat
on the lower river run was made yester
day, but the date of active operation be
tween Portland and Astoria has not been
definitely settled.
June 1. the interchangeable ticket plan
between the O- R. N. Co. will end. For
several years past passengers' could pur
chase a ticket for either beach and could
travel between Portland and Astoria
either by rail or 'boat, tickets purchased
from either company being accepted.
This is now a thing of the past. Passen
gers for the North Beach will be com
pelled to take the steamer T. J. Potter
for Megler or the Hassalo for Astoria
and thence across by tug. and return the
same way. If they desire to come from
Astoria by train an extra fare will be
necessary.
Managers of the Astoria & Columbia
Railway and the Regulator line have de
cided to give Oregon beach patrons the
best possible service, and to this end
they have decided to put the Gatzert on
the run between Portland and Astoria,

FAIL TO AWARD CONTRACT
City Advertising Bids Cause Much
Dissension Among Bidders.
'The ways and means committee of the
City Council yesterday afternoon con
sidered bids for the city advertising sub
mitted by the Evening Telegrram, the
Daily Abstract and the Daily Guide. Al
though the committee failed to award a
contract, it came' to the conclusion that
the Guide, the lowest bidder, was not
a newspaper in the true sense of the
word, and for that reason was not en
titled to the contract.- The committee
finally decided to recommend the rejec
tion of all the -bids submitted and read
vert is e for new ones.
"While the committee was discussing
the subject, representatives of the Ab
stract and Guide were engaged In a
heated controversy in which affidavits
played a prominent part. The Abstract
man had a batch of affidavits on hand
which, it was declared, showed that the
Daily Guide failed to have more than one
single subscriber. Por some time past
a paper known as the Guide has been
published in this city twice a week. The
Daily Guide is said to be an offspring
of this semi-weekly paper, organized re
cently, it is alleged, for no other purpose
than to attempt the securing of the city
advertising contract.
It was also shown in the affaidvits that
wherever the Daily Guide had been dis
tributed it was being delivered "dead
head" and in the majority of cases
against the consent of the parties named
as the subscribers.
ANOTHER IN ITS PLACE
Lamphere's Lawyers Say Mrs. Gnu
ness Substituted Body for Hers.
LA PORTE, Ind.. May SB. That the
body of Mrs. May O'Reilly, who disap
peared from Rochester, N. T last Fall,
was substituted by Mrs. Gunness for
her own In the Are is the latest theory
advanced by Messrs. Darrow and
Worden, attorneys for Iamphere. They
also profess to have secured evidence
to substantiate such a conclusion.
Lamphere's lawyers are greatly ex
cited over- the receipt of a letter from
a man in Arkansas, whose name they
decline to make known, who declares
that Mrs. Gunness escaped in man's
clothing- and that he on May 6. five
days after she was burned to death,
according- to the official statement of
Coroner Mack, received a letter from
her. He says he will produce this let
ter and turn over to the ofllcera other
letters, and will -also give additional
Information regarding her.
Falls Into Scalding Water.
SUMPTER, Or., May 25. The funeral
of the 2-year-old infant boy of Mr. and
Mrs. E. A. Stark took place yesterday.
The-child died from falling into a vat
of scalding water at the family home, at
the Columbia mine. At the time of the
accident it was not thought the little
fellow was seriously injured and the an
nouncement of his death was a surprise.

to Get Well
for 50 cents in a Month
I This ia tba trouble with nina people la
ten who don't feel well:
The liver li torpid because of abuse.
Because of wrong; food and too little
. exercise. 0
The bowels have grown Inactive. The
waste of the system loads the blood'
with impurities.
Then one takeajiarsh physic salts and
pills in trying to correct the wrong.
Thus the stomach and bowels oecome
inflamed. The whole digestive sys
tem ia npset.
All these results end quickly by the
use of Cascareta.
One candy tablet, once or twice a day.
In a month , or less, one knows what
. it is to be well.
Caacarets aid digestion. Harsh physic
destroys it,'
Cascarets gently stimulate the liver.
Cathartics whip it to actios.' '
Cascarets heal the bowels. Pills," gajta
and castor oil merely irritate.
If you tramped the woods for a month,
ate coarse food , fruit and green vege
tables, the result weuld be the same
as a month with Cascarets.
But most people can't do that. For
them, Cascarets bring the same re
suits, just as naturally, just. a
. effectively. '
Cascarets are eaadr tablets. Thar are la
