)UCTI
It is unusual to have a special sale at this time of the year, but on account of the lateness of the Spring season we
find ourselves with an immense stock of imported Spring woolens, which must be turned into cash
RE
Bemember, I use the highest grade of linings, such as Mohair, Serge, Alpaca and Farmer's Satin, as there is nothing gained in the long run by using cheap materials. I adopted
this policy of using high-grade trimmings in all clothes made by me years ago and that is one of the reasons why I now have the largest high-grade tailoring establishment with the
largest patronage in the City of Portland. I do not have to brag about my reputation as a.tailor; the years I have been in Portland with the thousands of Suits I have made is
enough to testify to my ability and integrity of doing business. All garments are cut by ine personally and are all made on the premises, under my personal supervision, which you
can see for yourself when you visit my store.

TACOMA. Wash. April I J. (Special.)
Ticomt'i big- water supply system. In
course of construction on Green River,
la being- seriously menaced by high
water. Commissioner Lawson. who
was called to the scene of operations
last night, announced today that tha
water had rfeen about two feet, neces
sitating hurried construction of a tem
porary dam to allow work on the big
intake to proceed.
The warm weather of the last few
days has caused all the small streams
flowing Into Green Rivr to rise and
almost overflow their banks. They are
red by the snows in the mountains, and
these are rushing down in torrents and
causing Green River, tha main body of
water, to rise rapidly. Commissioner
Lawson expressed the opinion that by
tha construction of wing dams tha
work could proceed without' a great
deal of delay.
